Progress So Far

[Ninesecsnake]

Here are a few camera phone pictures, I will post some good ones later. We're trying to get it completed for the Car Craft Summer Nationals, but if not, shortly there after.

Looks AWSOME...Looking forward to seeing what it runs. :bigthumb:

[tractioncontrol]

That's beutiful.

[lil krumm]

holy shit is everything going to fit in there? where do the headers go?

[69gt4speed]

Looks good so far. Now the mock up on the turbo (turbos) I forget which.

[Ninesecsnake]

A couple more:

It won't be going to Car Craft, but theres always next year!

Thanks for all the nice comments, I hope to make it to the cedar valley street rods race at tri-state.

[69gt4speed]

That would be most excellent if you make earlville. :supz:

I've got to beat a coworker there, then at least I can say quickest at the plant, have a/c, etc. and get better mileage.

[ZacFields]

as always this car is amazing!

Great work. It's good to see these pictures posted up on CR:U! Once you get some good digitals of the car I'll add it up to the rotation on the index.

. . . unbelievable . . .

what hp numbers are you aiming for?

[on a budget]

NICE

[Ninesecsnake]

. . . unbelievable . . .

what hp numbers are you aiming for?

I would like to be in the #### rwhp zone.

SWEEEEEEET!!! I was in St. Louis at the WFC and there were two HP twin tubro cobras there with the sullivan intake street racing and at the track. They were all over the road racing from a 40 roll even with M/T DR's. They were mopping everything except a stroked LS1 with heads and a single 70+mm turbo. He was running race gas not sure how much boost, the cobras were running 93. Man that thing looks good.

[Ninesecsnake]

I just got all the hot parts back from the coater, here's a few pictures.

Thanks, I was also at WFC, where was the street racing taking place? Also where do you guys stay? We have always stayed in Collinsville, but its seemed to die off.

[69gt4speed]

Amoander stayed one place, I stayed a different place, then I went over to chuck a burger (http://www.chuckaburger.com/) /sonic sat night had a lil fun vs a modded mustang and camaro. That was a great place 6 lanes on concrete, 3 each way.

The new chuck a burger area. I think next time I'll stay over by there as they have friday night car meets where you can round up a lil action.. There had some s/c bbc there with slicks but it looked a lil too much for the 03.. A cobra guy later said it runs 11's...

What city was this in? I would like to make reaservations in advance.

We installed one side this weekend. It was a busy track weekend. Heres a few pics of the one side.

You have the best stuff.... I just got a lil street thing, although I did do 127 mph... Ok, but spinning like crazy, eaton w 2.9 and 100+ jets.

Answer, I believe its st. charles, click the link on chuck a burger above.. right next to n. interstate loop in the industrial district. There are 2 leos but at the time they were busy. Amoander has several friends in st. louis also, something about 4am in the morning, he saw the races... The cobra guy said the car shows were a popular spot to get some action going. I should have been there friday night he said... Amoander (Adam) can give you his cell # then we can check different spots, etc.

I've seen some of your videos, most kick arse.... for being computer generated...

Thanks Rob,
127 is moving, I would like to race in WFC next year and want to stay where all the action is. Colinsville is where it used to be but the cops pushed everyone away. Its a shame, its 8 minutes from the track and strip clubs....what else could you ask for.

I'll post some of the new dyno vids once we getting running.

[69gt4speed]

I'll post some of the new dyno vids once we getting running.

Ryan

That would be most awesome..... Is this going to be on the street also? Looking at the turbos it looks like it ought to spool up quick and make a killer street ride being a fox body is lighter than the late model... The other cobras will run and hide....

[Ninesecsnake]

Ryan that sh*t is going to be NASTY!!! Get it running I want to see it fly.

Thanks Joe, Ill let you know when its done.

Rob,
I built this car to be a street car, it wont be my daily driver, but I will drive it daily.
I cant wait to see the look on the faces of those pesky street bikes as I walk right past em!!

Today I installed the remote oil filter adapter, the filter is a bit large.

[amoander]

Sorry, it took so long to post. We stayed in Kirkwood, right on Lindbergh blvd. We take 255/50 and cross over into Illl. and race back, it's four lane so we line them up 4 wide, get about 2-4 passes in depends how fast the cars arre. The cops have really stop the racing there, but it still occurs really late at night, the cops kinda turn there heads the other way during WFC weekend after about 1 in the morning, we were racing at about 2-3 a.m. Where rob was is some decent racing now(St. Charles). St. Louis is kinda getting bad for racing. I have a few friends that lived there and race at WFC, but unfortunanlty since many rules have changed for some classes at WFC 2 don't race anymore(1 went pro over to chevy). I don't know the HP guys personally but we always remeber each other and exchange numbers and meet up on the streets. They're from Arizona. I currently have no friends that now live in St. Louis, but a good friend has 3 friends who still live there with some quick cars. Again damn, i love that car Ninesecsnake!!!

I will paint it in the morning, this cage fits like a glove and the welding is top notch.

[boxmakingman]

I wasnt aware that you could have any bends in the rear support bars.

Did you build to any specs? NHRA ?

Cage looks top notch, and so does the rest of the build.

[amoander]

OH hell ya I'm going next year. I usually make it a 4-5 day vacation. No hurry to do anything but have fun. Learned you can't stay at the track all day for 3 days and stay up late, because i die of exhaustion after day two. Man your car is gonna be clean looking.

[69gt4speed]

I'll be there also w better stuff... Better street tires coming out all the time...

[Ninesecsnake]

Thank You, I will make sure to look you guys up before WFC, that way we can go make the locals feel bad :biggrin:

i know some people are cringing because youre chopping up a 93 Cobra, but i really like it man. what does the engine displace?

[Fire Hawk]

If I remember right it is a 5.4 DOHC.

Thanks Dustin,

Firehawk was correct its a dohc 5.4 thats .020 over, so it displaces 334cuin., just a little guy.

gotta love 9 second cars that still have their backseats.

i like it man, really clean. are you ever gonna get it down here for any of us to see in person?

[69gt4speed]

The classic fox interior look, like Dustin says hopefully we will see it....taking names and kicking arse....

[PJinIA]

Looks Good Ryan!!! You going to be able to close the hood?

PJ

[Ninesecsnake]

Here is a short video of the first start-up, sorry for the poor quality.

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/903f ... 05dbdd.htm (http://videos.streetfire.net/video/903fffe1-5398-4ef4-9706-98a30005dbdd.htm)

The motor was flooded, as you can see by the massive amounts of smoke. It will be hitting the dyno very soon.

I have to say Thank You to the whole Excessive Autosports Crew, the car would never be where it is today without their help!!

[StreetSweeper]

Has it realy been two years? It seems like just yesterday that car was at Tri-State. Everything looks awsome Ryan, will you be bringing it to town this summer to cruise on the streets of CR.

[Ninesecsnake]

Not quite but damn close, I'm planning to bring the car down to Brians benifit, wherever it may be, I like both tracks, and will be completly legal to 8.50. After the race, if the car is still functional, I would love to do some street racing later that weekend.

[OldSkoolRCR]

Ryan...Looks good, first start ups are always a bitch, I am 100% sure it has already come around...Lets us know after the dyno tunning...Ed

[DustinsDuster]

car sounds completely mean, but still smooth at the same time. its amazing. cant wait to see it running around on the streets!

[Ninesecsnake]

Thanks evryone for the nice comments, I will post the low boost dyno numbers and video within the next few weeks.

I hope everyone has a happy new year!

[on a budget]

nice work. that car is awesome.

[ZacFields]

B E A utiful.

Let me know how it goes. The car looks amazing dude.

Zac

[DustinsDuster]

cant wait to see the vid. even better, i bet you could fit a small cowl hood on the car now. itd be WAY sweet if you could fit a stock flat hood.....

[Ninesecsnake]

Thanks Everyone, no power pulls yet, we had to finish the intercoolers and it took a little longer than expected. Here's a few pictures of the intercoolers:

Dustin
It looks like I will need a 3" cowl and have it modified to clear the charge pipes, I wish a stock hood would fit, this motor idles so nice that its quieter than stock.

[Ninesecsnake]

We got it running damn good without a wideband, heres a quick little video, I appoligize the sound quality is poor, I never went over 3000rpm. Its soooo rev happy. :biggrin: More videos to come.

Sounds amazing man!! Looks just as good.

We need to get some street pull videos :)

[Drifte]

thats awesome, sure doesn't seem like that took long. i hope to see this at advance or something come spring.

[DustinsDuster]

hahahahaha, is that still wearing stock wheels in the front?

sounds awesome man.

[Ninesecsnake]

Thanks Everyone, we had to move some cars around, so I thought I would take some pictures of the exterior, I need to switch to snow tires.

[Stutz]

Besides the cage it looks like a stock cobra. bad ass car! u even try driving it in the snow? lol

[DustinsDuster]

Besides the cage it looks like a stock cobra. bad ass car! u even try driving it in the snow? lol

my thoughts exactly. i really like it. are you gonna keep those wheels on it?

[RandomHero]

god i hope so, i would just tint the windows so no one sees the cage.

[DustinsDuster]

just curious; did they make any notch back 93 cobras? i have never seen one...

[allgo]

No.

[black88gt]

notches only came as LXs

[RandomHero]

i like the fast backs anyways

[Drifte]

little tint..maybe hammer some shit in to fit a stock hood. i can think of nothing else i would change.

awesome work!

[Ninesecsnake]

Thanks everyone,
I am going to tint the windows, and have custom hood made that will form fit to the engine, so that it looks as close to stock as possible.

Dustin- The stock wheels will be on this car as long as I own it, I love em. Except at the track.

[69gt4speed]

You know Ryan there is another source for those style wheels cheap. 94- 95 t bird with 15" 5 lugs 7" wide. I've heard ppl welding in a section to widen them to 9". I liked those wheels so yea I got a 94 t bird boat cruiser. Only real other difference is the center cover. These have some weird 5x108 mm pattern though.
http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/3/web/2511000-2511999/2511192_9.jpg

[black88gt]

thats interesting, ive always wondered if they would fit after a 5 lug conversion because they look the same w/ diff centercaps.

[Ninesecsnake]

A quick update:
6-7lbs of boost, 17 degrees of timing: 520rwhp and 525rwtq. We just wanted to make sure everthing was working, all is good, we will turn the boost up a little next weekend.:biggrin: These numbers are with the C4, I am changing to a 4r75w soon....Ryan

It drives like a stock mustang, and was quiet even without exhaust.

[JustinS]

That's pretty good power for only 6 to 7 pounds of boost!

:bigthumb:

[DustinsDuster]

It drives like a stock mustang, and was quiet even without exhaust.

yeah, except for the acceleration....

[Stutz]

Badass car!, cant wait to see it in action.

[Ninesecsnake]

Today was a good day, 883rwhp 713rwtq @ 23lbs of boost and 16 degres of timing. We would have went higher but the wastegates were blowing open, I'm going to order heavier springs tomorrow. All in all it was a GREAT day. If you do the math, with a 20 percent drivetrain loss, its a 1060hp at the motor, not bad for 334cuin.

I have to say a HUGE Thank You to Joey and the whole Excessive Autosports team, without them none of this would have been possible.

Ryan

[DustinsDuster]

how much boost can that thing handle? what are you shooting for for max power goals?

damn nice numbers man, still waiting on video of it driving though!

[Drifte]

^ ditto

and awesome. some vids would be excellent. And when can we all see it in person?

[lil krumm]

holy shit thats alot of power!!

still gonna be driven on the street right?

that snank is going to hissss. man you made almost 900rwhp with only 16 degrees of timing,wait till you starting adding more(23) Then you can say 1200 rwhp Good job Ryan (UWILOSE)

[ProRauder]

Today was a good day, 883rwhp 713rwtq @ 23lbs of boost and 16 degres of timing.

Can you post a dyno sheet? That's freakin awesome!

John

[Ninesecsnake]

damn nice numbers man, still waiting on video of it driving though!

Thanks Dustin,
The motor is built to handle 1500hp or so, I would like to see 1000 at the wheels, but 883 isnt bad for starters. As for boost it should make at least 32-35lbs but I dont see a need to go that high, once at the track we will lower the boost and up the timing, going from 14 degrees to 16 degrees we picked up over 100rwhp, can you imagine what 23 degrees is going to do?

I dont have any new videos yet, Im out of town almost every week on business, so its hard to get anything done, but I will try to make a short ride along this weekend.

Ryan

Thanks Eric

Its been a long project, but I dont have to tell you about long projects. We need someone to break the record on our dyno at the shop, It reads up to 1500rwhp, but if needed it can be upgraded to 2000rwhp.

Ryan

[Ninesecsnake]

Can you post a dyno sheet? That's freakin awesome!

John

Thanks

I need to scan it in, it looks a little off due to the wastegates hanging open, I will try to get it posted this week.

Ryan

[Fire Hawk]

Kinda bringing this back from the dead here but the dyno graph would be sweet to see and had a few questions too.

I was wondering if you had any kind of info on the H/C/I setup you used. I've been reading to see what it takes to drop a 5.4 dohc into a 97GT myself and it seems the big problem is the intake needing to be wider.

Navi 5.4 dohc block
navi dohc heads
intake = ?? what's the one your using?
Did you buy a short/longblock

I am using the stock navigator heads and cams, stock castings no porting. As for the intake I used a Sullivan performace intake that is made for a dohc 5.4 navigator engine. I built the motor myself, I just dont trust anyone but a select few and I dont have the money to pay the best to build it.

I went 9.52 @ 150 this weekend on drag radials, with a 1.80 60ft, I have been as good as a 1.33 60ft. I think we will be in the 8's before the year is up.

Snake what strip are you going to? Is it the one in Marion? I got to watch you run at the Mobil 1 but I would love to see it again!
