so is it an h-pipe problem or urs just happened to fit lol

 

some of them you can just tug on and they'll work but almost all of them need some length added to clear the floorboards.

 

here are the first set of long tubes. these are on hunters car. right now he is waiting on O2 bungs and they will be rockin.



drivers side all tuck under the steering shaft...



look how they fit:

 

secksy

 

Am I seeing things or are those stepped? Any plans for mass production?

 

dam myillwill i need a set of those bad, keep me posted on the status

 

Those headers look great

 

i would get new motor mounts anways its only 70 bucks for peice of mind

 

he stepped them like the hedman 4.6 headers i had made into the test ones.


both hunter and i have the soild ones from arts parts. the ride isn't to harsh even with cams...

as soon as he has hunters car out the door( this friday i hope ) he will be able to make them as you guys order them. if the 4v guys wanna chime in, i don't see any problem making some as well...






i'm so happy that this is coming together, tj is da man . i'm glad they are like r3d's under the steering shaft. so after hunters is out we will have some updated dyno numbers to see how much power they make....

 

Niiiiice progress on the headers. Keep us posted on the numbers and price. They look AMAZING

 

Shame they won't fit my vic.

 

bring the vic up to bham, i'n sure he could make a set for you as well....

 

Awesome looking headers, I need a set of them too

 

call them (205)631-3871
tell them you'll tatto thier shop logo on your azz and name your first born FTP and you might get the next ones out.....


j/k, they already have had some calls/emails about the long tubes...

 

wow will, those headers are effin sweet! would i have to locate 4v flanges or can he get them? i guess since im in louisiana i should make a trip to bham since its not too far lol.

 

kar karaft had 4v flanges for 70 bucks. or just call FTP and see if tj can get some where he got the 2v ones....

 

hey guys, i ran into a problem while mounting the 5.4 to my car, the 5.4 came out of an automatic e150 i think, the problem is my torque converter won't even line up with the holes on the flexplate, it is about one inch off or so. Could i have a flywheel instead of a flexplate? the holes are about 1/2 inch more apart than the torque converter can reach.


here are some pics, maybe someone can help me figure out if indeed it is a flexplate

here are the intake adapters from MMR, until i can get the HPS intake, about 100 cheaper than RR plates

 

that looks like a flexpate to me. is that the e150 one? u might have to use the stang one..

 

the stang one is a 6 bolt, its a 97

 

hey everyone its been a bit since i've posted but i got a few more mods. put in 30lb injectors from R3dn3ck and also installed a 99 cobra IRS. got a bassani catback for it, koni 5-way SA shocks, MM aluminum difff brace and pinion angle adjuster. Vid and pics:

the exhaust needs a good bit of adjusting, going to add 2" to the catback before the mufflers and help tuck them up under the car a bit more, also going to spread the pipes apart from under the diff, theyre too close and the pass side rattles on the diff brace at times. thankfully i dont have to drive it much.


see how close it is to the diff brace?

mufflers hang lower than subframe a good 2"


pipes will be spread apart so they can be raised up on either side of the diff more

lookin good nate !!! hope your liking the 5.4l

 

loving it man, my tuner is on a honeymoon in africa so im still not tuned since the harball'r intake install

 

sounds awesome man!!!

 

another 5.4 swap....

http://www.theturboforums.com/smf/in...opic=128941.25

 

that car is bad ***. i remember the vids of when it was a 2v. gives me more motivation to finish my navi swap.

 

Update... finished the first try building my new CAI. I couldn't find something that did what I wanted and was less than 300 bucks so I went to Home Despot and grabbed a couple bits of 4" steel heater pipe and an adjustable 4" steel elbow (jointed at 4 plates so it swivels like a newt suit) and some aluminum tape that's good to 300deg for about 12 bucks. I got the elbow joint all set up how I thought it'd need to go and used the aluminum tape to not just stick it in that position (it's strong as hell) but it added a little insulation and helped smooth off some edges. After about 4 layers it's solid as hell and should reflect heat well enough.

I made myself an EGR delete plate too and sorted out most of my vacuum issues (still need to finish building the PCV separator) so it's down to waiting for some parts to come in and then I'll bolt them all up, cut the hood and drive down to the tuner.

I also fabbed up a neat little shelf out of some .060 aluminum plate for my methanol tank and made a new meth tank out of a 1 gallon plastic gas can. It seemed appropriate.

My drill broke so I'm kinda fucked for a week or so till I can grab another.

 

Just picked up a 90mm L-MAF. I'm thinking of putting it on the passenger side where the stock one was and using 4" tubing to bring it over to the blower on the driver side in front of the engine. Thoughts?

 

sound like that will cool the air more and compact it also..



sound good, make it so...

 

i built a custom sheet metal upper for my L swap so that the throttle body is on the pass side and the blower is fed from the rear works great ran 7.51 so far thru a aodew at 95 witha 1.68 sixty no i dont have pics but my swap is under the hood

 

Just watched the dyno video. 1030hp.. Not bad
