KlugSS Turbo Build

[KlugSS]

Going a different direction now. I just finished the 2.9L Whipple build about two months ago. Had a lot of fun with it, made 714 rwhp at 21 psi. But i have always wanted to go turbo and since i am in the process of moving i really wont have anytime to really take it out.


2.9L Whipple

Plans are as following:
CG Fab Hotside Pipes
Precision Twin Turbo

Other then that i am still in the planning stages.

Should be fun, that turbo is where its at from what ive read. Youll like that HP platuea mid way through the graph above.

mmr 1000se 4.75
MMR 4.75 Liter Stroker Mod 1000SE (up to 1000 RWHP) 4V



Brand New STD bore (3.552) Cast Iron 2004 Cobra Block
New Premium 4340 Forged US Made 4.75L
New 4340 Manley H-beam Rods
Total Seal file fit rings
Clevite Rod and Performance Main bearings
Ford Racing High Volume Oil Pump

M2500R Pistons
ARP 2000 Rod Bolts
Upgrade to MMR block side bolts

Couple quick pictures of everything going on.

Since this is such a huge radiator i am hoping i moved the radiator forward enough to use the stock fan with the turbo setup. But we will see.
Maybe i can have CG Fab mount the turbo a little higher since i won't be running the expansion tank.

Sick. Love turbo builds. What did you need to do to get that radiator to fit?

This radiator should be a direct drop in. But I need as much room as possible between the engine and radiator.
I am removing the a/c so that helps but otherwise I drilled two holes 3 inches forward of where the stock radiator pegs go. And put the rubber grommets in and drop the radiator in there. It's setting a good 2 1/2 forward of where a stock one would.

thats where my radiator is, i moved it forward. Dont even use the stock fan its garbage. I bought the dual jegs fan and it fits perfect.

Why do you think the stock fan is garbage?

 

[TwinTurbo4vGT]

The stock fan has horrible static pressure, you need a fan that will push all available air through the radiator creating the maximum cooling effect. The Jegs fan has great static pressure because the blades are wide and straight. Thin curved blades are horrible for cooling.

You finished your 2.9 build 2 months ago and now the car is apart again? Doesn't really make sense. Either way, can't way to see the finished product.

It was boring, and i got beat by a couple 1000 cc bikes.

Still waiting for my mmr block.
Progress has been slow since I am selling my house.


I did find some hpm parts that were in their warehouse when they went under.

All brand new in original boxes. I paid 235 for all of it.

Finally got my shortblock from mmr I paid for in September.

Keep in mind the fan is only needed when in stop & go traffic. Once the car is moving the fan just gets in the way. A low compression FI engine should run cooler than an NA engine in traffic.

[KlugSS]

Got this post on another forum talking about my MMR 1000 block with a lot of upgrades....

I could cover 900 pretty easy. Lets hope anyway.
