Gday, just a little thread on the project I have underway.

Ill start with how it is now, that's more exciting to me than its previous life. Its all been built by myself and friends in the shed, actually get more enjoyment out of building them than driving them.

I first had a GT3582r on it when this engine first went in, we had cam timing issues, with both cams being dialled in wrong. It struggled to make 300rwkw at 18psi as it was just blowing boost out the exhaust and doing a really good job of heating intake air up. Went to Heathcote for FordForums Drag nats and it ran a best of 10.94@121mph (1.5 60ft). Best mph was 124 for weekend but the auto slips in 3rd and convertor flares to 5500rpm and we didn't rev it past 5600rpm as power dropped off due to cam timing.

I then set fire to engine bay on the burnout pad when a power steering line ruptured so that prompted a respray and then was offered 2x new GT4202r for a bargain so I got them and whacked one on mine and the other on a mated ED. Also put in a vertical flow intercooler with 3" tanks as the old one was a lit

So as it is now a basic run down of the car is

- Built DOHC, everything that you find in solid motors is in here without going into it.

- C4 with 3500rpm stall, actually drives like a 5000rpm stall (Issues)

- 3.23 mini spooled diff

- Haltech PS2000

- EMS 6 channel CDI

- 6x Mercury marine Coils

- 4 inch stainless exhaust

- GT4202R

- 50mm tuned exhaust manifold

- Progate 48

- Snort Plenum 3" t/B

- Billet fuel rail with twin feeds

- Bosch 2000 injectors

- FPR2000 reg

- 3x O44 fuel pumps with 2 feed lines of -8

- Walbro 255 lift pump

- Eboost 2

- Various other bits and pieces

Nice one, I've been following your build on other forums too, how long till its ready for a retune? I read on the boosted forums that it was gonna be really soon?

I went down on saturday for a tune, same problem as 2 weeks ago even though I thought I had fixed it. The wastegate cant bleed off enough exhaust, its opening at 14psi and its still boosting well past 25psi. So manifold has come off, going to a 60mm gate with re plumbed entries into it. Hopefully that sorts the issue out once and for all.

Its a EMS 6 Channel CDI unit that's running them all. They are Mercury Marine CDI coils that Motec sell, you can get them thru MoTeC or or Mercury, exactly the same coil just at a much cheaper price. I had done a heap of research and these are good units. M&W also supply them for CDI units. I believe you cant use coils with inbuilt igniters with a CDI unit.

The EMS has two modes, a high and low. Low is 115mj and High is 125mj, I just have a switch on the dash if I need to go High to burn off any crap on the plugs or when its needing to burn a lot of fuel, which so fast hasn't happened. The spark of this setup is pretty crazy, if you pull a plug and listen to the crack its enough that you don't wanna even be near it.
