So I'm guessing the mods with * next to them are the new mods?
Also did you change from a 4" to a 2.5" exhaust or the other way around? 2.5 would have too much back pressure wouldn't it?

mmm looking back on it, maybe its a bit vague what's new and not unless you followed the build from day-dot.

basically the engine setup is 90% new including new intercooler, plenums, exhaust, fuel system and of course the engine. the 10% comes from the old setup and stuff which is too go to waste, like the custom mms catch can and that very gucci dip-stick bracket.

the old exhaust was the twin 2/12", now its going to have a complete 4" system. likewise the intercooler/plenum/fuel-system which is all listed down the bottom.

now im confuzzled

edit: made the changes bold and italicized on the first page, better?

Haha, I have been but my memories not the greatest

Bold would be very helpful

So whens the final tune? I'm around the corner and wouldn't mind seeing/hearing this thing up close (saw it at MV but a bits changed)

This has prob been asked but I cant be stuffed going through all these pages.
How will the GBOX hold up with this much power/torque and what other mech weak points do you have to watch on the driveline?

From the photo's the engine looks so old school? Looks like it came out of r a 1971 holden or something? No doubt it makes big power but that's always one thing i've looked down on with the fords, they are still running with such an old school motor it would appear and haven't really gone forward in terms of design.

But why change it? Handles a stupid amount of boost/hp..

Factory engines pushing out some silly numbers.. put some forged gear in there and go for broke

Who cares what it looks like? Most new cars come with moulded plastic covers over the engines anyways.
