Update Pics: Outlaw Street Stang

[YJGWRacing]

couple pics of a little of the work ive done so far.


since this is a street car, has to have speakers. As you see the holes for the 6x9's. Cage is only about 30% done, going to be a full 12-14pt cage.


Cowl hood is made from sheet styrene, .020" thick.


motor is from the 01 Lightning kit (5.4l motor). Will have a custom box intake (with the lower half of the intake in the picture), custom turbo setup, with custom FMIC and piping.

Now to just find the turbo so i can start putting the motor together.

damn thats a big cowl hood... what is that mustang based on? The Revell '93 Cobra?

[YJGWRacing]

yeah. I actually still have the cobra wheels on the tree, in perfect shape.

The original cowl i made was even bigger, this one just barely clears the intake im making for it (box upper). I might actually have to drill a little hole in the top of the cowl, to clear the piping from the IC to the TB.

so it has a lightning engine, the lightning already has a supercharger and you are adding a turbo is that possible??

[YJGWRacing]

im not using the supercharger setup. Its just going to be a single turbo 5.4l motor.


Heres some pics of some more of the motor work.


(intake was made out of half the original intake, and .020" plastic styrene)

turbo manifold was made using a longtube header i cut down, and bent plastic from the parts tree

Wow....I've always wanted to see the 5.4L OHC engine in a Mustang....that's what I love about scale modeling....just because somebody won't do it in real life doesn't mean you can't do it in scale.

actually i know of one foxbody (87 LX Coupe) thats getting a 5.4l motor put into it. Gonna be a nitrous motor though.

But there are a couple of SN95 & 99+ mustangs with 5.4 motors.

Some more pics of some more work, mostly just the turbo setup, and cage is what ive been working on.





next work for the motor will be finishing the intake, fuel rails, spark plug wires, custom belt/pulley setup, and wastegate.

whats funny is, i decided to go through my misc junk boxes, and found two different turbos, one a little smaller then the other, so decided to put em both together, to actually look like a real turbo. The worst part about mounting it, was thats the only place i could put it, so it would fit under the hood, and it looks like i might have clearance problem for the lower pulley with the other headers & piping being run to the turbo.

Nice scratch building here! Awesome 5.4 93 Mustang here my friend! I hope you get to fit the turbo in alright, I had big fitment problems with my Civintegra.

[Blowncivic1320]

You should mount the turbo in the front so it goes thru the front of the car wen the nose is on...like the drag cars do
