Black Mamba rebuild.

Hey guys, I'm doing this build thread just to keep me motivated on my new build after a engine bay fire. Here is the info on the old setup.

13B street port
RE intake
Turblown dual Wastegate turbo manifold
Borg Warner S366
Adaptronic ECU


I will post some pics of the work that I previously did, interior, suspension, engine setup.

Here is a Video of the last tune.

Luckily most of the damage stayed under the intake, items that got that damage are the Injectors, a Rywire mil spec harness, MTLX wideband, and probably the Adaptronic ECU.

I feel very lucky that the fire didn't do more damaged, thanks to my fire extinguisher I was able to keep the fire from spreading.

I also want to thank FFE for helping me with the replacement of the damaged parts, here is what I got from them last week, and even that I'm not using their fuel rails they replaced the old ones for the new owner since I sold the RE intake setup with the FFE rails, so someone bought a burnt set of rails but ended up getting a new set.

Sorry to hear about the fire. Car looks great. Keep us updated.

Oh, and very nicely done on the recovered center console pad. Looks great matching the well-done seats.

Thanks, I'm very happy with the way the interior came out, now to finish it off I just got the Sakebomb footrest.

Always a first time for everything, after I ran out of fire extinguisher all I could do was take pics and wait for Fire Dept to arrived.
