Title: 1000 horsepower Mach 1 we just finished up.
Post by: 79fairmont on December 03, 2009, 09:33:07 PM
We've been working on a customers 2004 Mach 1 in an effort to reach the 1000 wheel horse mark. Well today was finally the day. The combination is. Twin 62mm billet wheel precision turbos. Forged rods,pistons, and crank. Turbo 400 transmission. The entire car was built in house! Here is the video.

Its a 4.6 dohc with forged rods,crank,pistons. Big stuff 3 engine management. Twin 62mm billet wheel precision turbos. Turbo 400 transmission. Stock intake. Ford gt camshafts. The entire car was done in house. As far as rippers if we get a dry day I will try to make sure I get some!

WHat is "Twin 62mm billet wheel precision turbos", never heard of billet wheel before

Car sounds mean though, exhaust overpowers the spool though

Sir, billet wheels have been in production for quite some time now.  Balance means next to nothing at 150,000rpm. 


Which mod heads are used in this build OP?

I like the big stuff management.  The other tech i work with has done a couple of them.  My bosses car runs Accel which is nice too and its a twin turbo fox body.  still running the small block ford too :p

Hot-rod guys?  Sir, callaway was building turnkey 9-second streetcars in the 80's and im sure a few others were beating around the same bush.  It didnt start with imports if thats what your implying...

It takes 387 whp in a 2500lb chassis to run a 10.00 pass.  Most 387 whp imports have stock suspensions and 2.0 60' times on slicks, or even worse they spent a lot of money on poorly valved low quality china suspension anodized a gaudy color and think they've covered all the bases.  A significant percentage of 387 whp domestic owners have some Quality fucking suspension under their car, and the cars hook very well.   As power goes up from 387 whp you see more import owners buying brightly colored china suspension (and never have the car aligned properly), whereas the domestic guys buy even better Quality suspension bits.

Fuck overcomplicated electronics that don't do anything you need it to, and fuck turbos when you can't even launch a NA import correctly much less set up it's suspension.  The import scene is traditionally really dumb, and everyone in it thinks they are hot shit.  There have ALWAYS been domestics that could flay any import, at any time when you perceived imports as having a leg up over domestics "technologically" speaking, but the simple fact is when you have a car that runs 9's you don't feel the need to hunt down and impress Honda Civic owners.  So the import owners think the trailerpark mullets with IROC-Z's are as good as the domestic scene gets because, as I already stated, the import scene is traditionally really dumb.

Yeah, I love how you can tweak the TPS to read anything you want it to at any point - I requested that feature especially for hotrex.

thats hilarious. this is how i percieve them. even though i started out as a hot rod guy. 74 nova custom hatch.

does no one else agree that the domestics have more recently picked up on turbo's.

like in the last 5 to ten years. before that it was like too hard for them. the engineering part.

hahah . i know they are some of the fastest cars and they got 4 second funny cars and all that.

the only boost you used to ever see on a domestic was a freakin blower stickin out of the hood.

That is how it is in my neck of the woods, blowers are the norm. ;D

Turbos are thought of for Diesels, Tractors, and imports in my area. :?:

I learned everything about turbo theory from Ford guys on the jyturbo mailing list, pre-HMT.  There are a lot of 50+ year old men, titularly domestic guys, roaming around the real world who know as much as I one day will.

I'm pushing my father to boost his Camaro next year, I hope he will agree to do it. I started by explaining how was working a turbo and how to install it on his car. It's a good start I believe lol

I'm not a carb guru tho, I'll have to learn how it work and how to tune that shit. I'll put a basemap and it's ready to go ;)

What I heard from a domestic drag racer is that turbo is too inconsistent. They can't get the same time after each pass. I don't know if it's true...

It is much harder.  As the idea in drag racing is simple and repeatable.  As long as you leave the same every time, shift the same etc..  i dont' see why it wouldn't be decently consistent. 

Turbo cars do seem to be affected a lot by the swings in ambient air temps, and even more so by heat sink. 

turbo + alcohol = :noel:

For what its worth we push most of our customers towards turbo's. We just finished up an 07 gt that made 688 horse and 730 ft lb of torque at 15 ish psi of boost out of a t-70 turbo. I'll put up a video of that one when I get the chance.

No it did not but we never had the stock manifolds on this car. We had some log manifolds on it and it made just about 800 but the curve was horrible. With the new headers power came up over a 100 horse. The engine even wanted more timing after that and then the power difference became even larger. I think after headers and retune we were up over 200 horse peak and over 300 in the higher rpm.

hmmm the turbo mach i did didnt seem like there was enough room to come up through where the a/c comp was, granted it was a single turbo. maybe there is a big diff in the design of the k member. i was working with stock manifolds also.

The qa1 is one of the most open k members I've seen on any mustang. There is a ton of workable space.

You know we have been told that but drive a car with a qa1 on it and compare it to others. Less squeaks and rattles. Is it as nice as some of the ones rated for road racing no. It was not designed for that but this guy daily drives this car and has daily driven it for years making nothing less than 9 second power since one year after it was bought. No cracks, no issues, no flaws. We've dealt with all of the k members too. This guy has no shit probably close to 30,000 miles on this car with this k member.

OK! That is so damn cool. Do you do any work on older Mustangs? Mine is just a V6 though. She is stil peppy and I am faster that ALOT of cars.

Would I be able to make around 600 horse power? I know I have two less cylinders, so I can't make as much power.

Yes we do alot of work on classics. I just finished up a 485 fe stroker for a customer's fairlane.
I don't doubt we could easily make your goal with the 6 cylinder. What year?

Cool, mine is a 2001. A buddy of mine I met at the car meets told me about wiring open the "butterflys" and that makes a lot of diffenance. I am also about to get a red Spectra cone filter for my intake. I think those mods, with a set of headers and an exhause, I will be into the 12s. It should hold me off until I can afford to turbo.

You'll be a long fucking way from the 12's.

Damn right those cars are slow as fuck. I put a bus length on one with a z6 in a crx, and to me the crx was slow :P

The biggest problem is the FD on those cars.  The 96-97 V6 cars were comparable to the GTs if they ran the same FD.
