I finally have the car dial in.... Had to fine tune some things like the TPS, removed ACV, and other little stuff. Now shes running really strong! I put in a stock S5 TII Jspec engine, Tranny and ECU. The mods i have are K&N air filter and RB 3 inch downpipe with on cats that going into a Racing Beat muffler. It sounds really nice and its very quiet. Also installed a Walbro 255 inline fuel pump because a SE fuel pump cant put out the flow you'll need with the TII engine. I'm very happy with the results, the car pulls really strong and i must say.. I LIKE the BOOST!! ALOT!!!! It is boosting between 8 and 9 psi.. which is stock for the S5 TII.

Next im going to see how she runs against my friends 2001 Cobra, the only mod is a catback magnaflow system.... I think ill be right there with him atleast.. what do you think fellas?

 

Looks great. I hope that someday I have TII engine in one of my babies.

 

First off congrats on your project. I recommend you install a FMIC (ASAP!!) or find a way to get some cool air to your top mount IC.

 

that looks really good. How hard was it? any bigger future plans?

 

Yes, that will be one of my first upgrades ill be doing along with an aftermarket FPR.

 

That is the first thing I noticed too. How would you get air to the FC engine Top mount IC? With a front mount, you won't have to modify the hood and it could stay as a sleeper car.

 

congrats

add me to the "get a front mount or modified hood for intercooling" list.

 

Looks awesome, I would really like to see more videos of these FB TII swaps before I do mine. I just would like to see how good they rip...

 

sweet ride

 

I'll join the 'me toos' on the fmic. Looks like a nice clean install, congrats on getting it running.

 

Looking good. There was a guy locally that put a scoop on the hood that made it look like a wrx... we called it wrx-7

 

it looks good really good.id like to here how you do up aginst that cobra too! wrx-7 thats pretty damn funny!

 

Thanks, i dont want a scoop! I'll be doing a FMIC really soon....

How do you guys think ill do against that 2001 Cobra ??

 

How much did that project cost you in all?

 

very nice swap!! did you run into any snags while doing the swap? how does the trans feel to shift, smooth or a little jerky? very nice, man, very nice!

 

+1 I'm not doing a TII swap but I am turbocharging my 12A and it's always nice to see videos of FBs LOL

 

for sure get the fmic... the stock T2 top mount intercooler sucks even for a stock motor is sucks....and you should get some video of the race with the mustang... umm the 01 is not SC so you should be infront long as your a good driver

 

Yo Estevan... I PM'd you about the tranny a couple of days ago... check it

 

2001 Cobras run 13.5s with 320 hp and 317 ft. lbs. They weigh 3,430 lbs.

Your car, assuming it is stock in weight, is about 2640 lbs. and with the mods listed probably makes around 210-225 flywheel hp (depending on your motor's reactions to your mods).

So, going off of that, the Mustang makes about 1 hp per 10.7 pounds. You car makes somewhere around 1 hp/12.5lbs - 1hp/11.75lbs.

So, basically, it's a driver's race.


This is no where near specific nor precise, simply a rough guesstimation. Take it as you may, you were looking for opinions.

You have a sweet car, btw.

 

Hey, when you guys run, post it up in this thread! Nice ride!

 

roundabout how much did this cost ya? and did you do any kind of writeup? I always like seeing the TII FB swaps, someday, perhaps, I will have one...

 

nice work can I get more pics of the engine bay

 

I would watch it while boosting on the motor for the reason they said of the tmic maybe even if you just wanna race him to see how you'll do take off the hood or ? But I woulding get too happy w/ the boost til you get things to where you want them also a fuel cut unless you already have one would be a nice future upgrade. Sweet ride playboy,VIDS OF THE RACE!!!

 

Well my friend is acting like he is scared to run against me.... I'm still trying to get him to run!!

I'll be moving back home to Miami on the 25th of April, and i havent done the FMIC mod yet.. I have been tring to stay out of the boost.... I plan on completing some other mods when I get back to Miami..

I'll be doing small write up about my swap also..

 

Nice, even the same color as mine...

Just a little warning and FYI if your interested.

Watch out for over boosting in cooler weather. With just the K&N and cat. removal alone you could get up into the 11+ lb range. Not that the motor won't take it, but your gay VPC (mas air looking thingy by the filter) won't add the extra fuel you need to run more boost. So the car will lean out and detonate. And eventually blow.

Don't ruin an awesome setup because of neglect. Get your fuel setup and your home free. I found the piggy back fuel computers with 2 added injectors and a map sensor worked cheapest and best for me.

Something similar to this...

You'll make alot more power and your engine will live twice as long. Or you can have the computer remapped, buy a stand alone ECM etc. But I found a piggy back system worked great.

Also buy a wide band 02 sensor and keep track of your lean and rich conditions if you haven't already. With just those minor things a clutch and some tires my good friend managed high 12 sec time slips in his TII. To bad it took blowing the first motor to figure things out.

Just trying to help thats an awesome setup! With just the above mentioned and stock turbo around 16ish lbs with FMIC you should his mid to low 12's minimum! (assuming tires and traction)

Congrats and good luck!
