[86lxnotch]

well i figured i would start this thread for my g/f's car aka 3.9turbostang on here. rundown of the setup as follws. 2004 3.9l v6 auto mustang. he(according to her) will be getting a MP62-1, 38mm gate,rfl bov, 3'' dp into dual magnaflow catback(existing), 42's/LMAF, 255intank small fmic, and some other little odds and ends. i had previously installed the catback, fmic, boost guage/bezel, battery relocated WITH her help. i now have the car at my house for good till "he" is done. here are some pics of what i have so far and i just did the injectors tonight

look's like you got a lot of work ahead of you!

[86lxnotch]

i dont think its gonna be bad at all, the last kit i built was on this guys 94 cobra with a 351 in it and it still had the blower bracket on it. talk about a pita . start to finish in 18 hours driveable. im gonna take my time on her car as its her DD so everything has to be safe and sound on it

On the injector swap it looks like you replaced the pencil style injector with a standard one. Is there any modifications to be made to swap those in? Good luck with the build.

[3.9turbostang]

it needed the adapter harnesses since i made the goof and got old style. but that's it

   My girlfriends only downfall is her hatred towards my car, do you have a sister??  JK nice build though!

[3.9turbostang]

  yup. he's a lil sleeper 

[99TTGT]

are you goin to run a 61mm.?

[86lxnotch]

yes as jess said we used the little adapter harness for the injectors. got them from rpmoutlet. "he" will be gettin a MP 62-1

[99TTGT]

cool!

[86lxnotch]

well no pics since my batteries are dead in the camera, get some new ones tomorrow.as was known from v6power.net when flipping the headers side to side the "new" passenger header hits the mount. got it all cut up and with the help of a spare 5.0 shorty header i had more than enough bends and got the passenger header all tacked up and will be final welding it tomorrow. also got the fusebox relocated for even more room on the drivers side. just have to lengthen the alternator wire and hook a ground back up to have that part finished. by the end of the weekend i hope to have the crossover and maybeb the merge all tacked up, might even get the turbo placement finished as well

[86lxnotch]

passenger header is finished, v-band on the end of it and pics of everything else thats done. fusebox relocated, cold side is done inside the engine bay, turbo mounted. pics are here

[99TTGT]

bad @$$
if you need a Mafia or injector let me know
thanks

[86lxnotch]

i already have the 42's in it and the LMAF in blowthrough should suffice for the 300-350ish rwhp im planning for it to make.

[Cbolton91]

Just curious,  do you have any more pictures of the passenger side header?  Build looks good.  Keep up the good work.

Thanks

[86lxnotch]

everything else is just tacked at this point so it needs to come off for the v-band to be welded up totally and then for some high tech bbq grill paint so ill get some pics of it when it comes back off. should be mon or tues at the latest

[99TTGT]

dude:
 There is a costumer of mine that have a 99 v6 with built motor ported heads and cam with a auto that lay down 550rwhp.
We got another one with a twin turbo v6 that goes 10.40 in the 1/4
There is a lot of potential on those motors........

[86lxnotch]

well her long term goal is to do a supersix 4.3 long rod motor P&P heads/intake a cam and a bigger turbo. she wants 600+ to the ground down the road after she is done college

I am preaty sure that It will be not a problem.
It look's that the fab got it under control

[86lxnotch]

i hope i got the fab part under control lol its what i do day in day out haha

[99TTGT]

what waste gate are you goin to use?

[86lxnotch]

38mm ebay unit

[86lxnotch]

got a bit more done yesterday/today. as of now the only thing the hotside needs is 1 more v-band installed for ease of removal, O2 sensors placed in it, wastegate placed(know the placement but need to remove everything to do it) and then it can be final welded up. everything is connected all the way back to the magnaflow catback we previously installed. coldside is all tacked up from turbo to the i/c as well and can be removed for final welding. need a few odds and ends for the coldside. after everything is removed for final welding i will be drilling/tappiing the pan for the oil return as well as setting up the oil feed. then its paint time and final assembly

last picture is cause her car decided it didnt like me this after noon

You got to always remember that mustangs are wild animals.  Soon as you let your guard down they'll get you.

I wanted to say again that your build looks really good.  I hope mine turns out as good as yours.  (98 single port).   You set a good example of how the six should be done. 

 

[86lxnotch]

thanks i appreciate it. it would be nice to do it on a lift but no biggie. im gonna attempt to get everything welded up tonight, o2's in place as well as the wastegate so tomorrow i can paint it all. oil lines should be done tonight as well hopefully
