Question on 94-95 Mods

[yeahloh95]

me too x2

C'mon Steve, talk him into getting some better heads . AFR 185's, new pistons and a big ole cam. Give that bad boy some lope

Im pretty sure he doesnt want to spend that kind of money at the moment, and that is why we didnt go with the h/c/i package itself. I wish I could, but oh well. Its his decision and money in the end, Im just the installer. We have pulleys that need put on it as well already, and the headers came today, so thats something I guess. Its definately getting the heads ported by me though, as I have the skill/tools to do it properly. I will have flow numbers of before and after, along with pictures of what I do to them, and how I do it. Its just the freakin cam we can't decide on. If it comes down to it, we could always go with a very well known cam from ford, just to make that extra little bit of power.And be in the solid low 13s next year at least!

I should have some pictures up of the progress so far when I get home from school tonight. The cam should be able to go in tomorrow, and Ill be starting on the heads today I beleive. Ive got lots of pics so be warned.

[Killercanary]

Cool, I can't wait to see them!

[yeahloh95]

yeah me too, i am looking forward to how much better the car runs with the new mods.

[Steve-0]

Ok heres some pics as I said there would be....
Dynod

Just starting to take it apart:

Upper off:

Injectors/fuel rails off.

Lower off/Alt off

Close up of lower off

A large amount of stuff in the trunk...


EDIT: dont mind the car being dirty, it rained on my way to school when I drove it there last week. Rt 22's construction makes it a mess out there.

[Steve-0]

More.

All self explanitory. Thats all I have for now, more to come as the progress moves along. The cam is out, new one should go in friday at some point, and I will be starting the heads too. Good times.

Nice man . That should be pretty similar to the one in my car(XE274). We need some audio once you get it all put back together

There will be a vid when its done.

More pics....
Heads and valvetrain is all apart, inspected and cleaned. Valves look pretty good cleaned up. I used a media blasting booth to do all of this, just taped off some key areas and it came out pretty good. Porting will start monday, and if I can get one of my friends to do it, the cam should go in as well. Thanks for looking. Ill have more pics come monday evening.:D

[Steve-0]

Nobody cares?:o oh well.


My dad is looking at the Tweecer for tuning this, anyone have any experience with it? It looks to be pretty nice, and a decent deal at that.

[Killercanary]

Looking good. I don't know the specs on that cam, so I can't comment on it.

If your dad is getting a twEECer, make sure he gets the RT version and have him ask Santa for a wideband for Christmas, with these two he will be able to tune the heck out of it. I suggest that join the tweecer users group on yahoo and join stangnet.com as there is a nice tuning forum in the 94-95 specific section. There is a lot of information there and other users that will make the learning curve much easier for you and your dad. I run the eectuner on my car, its like the grandfather of the tweecer.

[yeahloh95]

can you mill the heads too? that would help some

Thanks for the sites, Ill look at them later.
Specs on cam:
Intake Duration at 050 inch Lift: 218
Exhaust Duration at 050 inch Lift: 224
Intake Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.512 in.
Exhaust Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.512 in.
Lobe Separation (degrees): 114

Unfortunately not, we arent allowed to mill any heads in class.

[Steve-0]

New day, new pics.... started porting the heads, on the exhaust side at least. Flow benched them first on the flow bench. Numbers stock are pretty craptastic as expected, flow drops off at around .500" lift on both intake and exhaust sides. Lets hope that changes for the sake of the cam having .512" lift on both sides.
Flow numbers
EXHAUST
Lift @ .300"= 114.70 CFM
Lift @ .400"= 119.48 CFM
Lift @ .500"= 121.10 CFM

INTAKE
Lift @ .200"= 121.07 CFM
Lift @ .300"= 152.93 CFM
Lift @ .400"= 151.29 CFM
and was about the same at .500"

Oh and the new cam is in, but I didnt get any pics of it. I need to degree it tomorrow and set the timing after I put the new chain on. Ill get pics of that all then.
Oh and sorry about the glare in the one pic, I need to learn to take better pictures.:o

Lookin good man!
Where did you get the heads flowed at?
What else do you guys have planed for the car?

[Viper_ed]

Where did you get the heads flowed at?

I'd guess he did it at school. Would be suprised if Wyotech didn't have the flow bench there.

[Killercanary]

Steve-O: here's a GREAT site for tips on getting the most out of the stock E7TE heads.
