Nice pictures! Good to finally see your thread bro :twothumbs.

Car is clean af and i envy your build

STG1

I ordered the car sight unseen and didn’t even test drive it before. I asked for white as my first pick and was only told that I would be happy by my salesman.

The first time I ever saw my car

I was always planning on building the car origanally I was looking for around 300hp I dynoed stock at 220hp240tq on a mustang. So just aftermy first oil change I installed all my bolt ons CAI, DP, Exhaust, IC, IC Pipes and a terrible PPC tune

Because I had that terrible tuner I added meth to control the knock. Also during the first winter I added a southbend Stg4 clutch, Fidenza aluminum flyfheel, ZZP mounts, ZZP stainless brake hoses, HP+ pads and 6k HIDs

Wheels up!!

Well I had my Hahn intercooler split on a weld and didn’t notice it right away so it blew up my turbo. I talked to Matt at Turbobay and got hooked up with one of the first K04rs.I had enough with the shit tune so jumped on the HPT team added the ZZP gauge pod switch to a ZZP intercooler with cast endtanks also lowered on Eibach springs

As I have terrible luck so driving a buddy home I bottomed out and took out my Intercooler and Rad. 2nd IC of the year

Attachment 13734

Attachment 13735

Jon (SylverSS/SC) hooked me up with a Mishimoto rad and I bought a local IC just to get me by
Attachment 13736

I’ve been told that I have an issue of not sleeping and just staying up late thinking of how to get more power from my setup and I was confused on how that 65mm wheel can’t hold boost up top. So one night I had an idea to test out a higher pressure actuator and wow it was the wake up call for that turbo!! I now was able to hold 28psi to my redline and have tested 30psi to 7k!! On pump and spraying meth I’ve seen 39lbs/min flow and I’m sure on e47 it’ll break 400hp

Attachment 13737

I’ve posted a ton in the K04r thread you can check it out here

So I raced a 5.0

And a roll vs a buddy’s fully bolted K04 car

Thanks!! I try to keep it clean looking but she needs some love I've been super busy

Look dad......wheels up!

Haha a Balt or 2 on stands is a pretty normal sight at my place

Stg3

I was really happy with how my car had been running on the bigwheel but I had been in love with the 7163 since I saw it was coming out and made the jump but I had a slight 5th gear set back again and Jon (SylverSS/SC) once again hooked me up with a LSJ LSD F35

Jonathan (Soundjunky) lent me his spare Intake manifold so I could make a mess of it! Plus some exhaust bit so I could get the coated after I ported them

I bought the turbo with the high boost actuator and it liked to run at 32psi so I switched to the medium and max was 29psi so I bought a Turbosmart dual port actuator now I’ve hit as high as 34psi and but currently am on 28psi. If you buy an EFR get one!

Attachment 13722
Love that boost curve!

Attachment 13723

Double post Fixed

Forgot to post but the 7163 thread I've shared a ton of info in there too

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/zz-p...63-zfr-304838/

Stg4?

I’m parking my car here soon for the winter and will be doing a build again to go with the added boost and ported head but may also include.....

Attachment 13703

Thanks for looking and I hope you like my car!!

That turbo is huge lol good luck bro

Thanks eddy!

Not if taylor desides to be an ass and throws on that 6466!

This is a sweet car.. I like it. good story too lol

that thing moves out.

Thanks!! I have a lot to do today so i hope i didnt miss anything

So sexy. Just unhahn those charge pipes and intake, unless they are the new aluminum ones

Lol let's see what happens I wish I could see the race go down in person


BTW you posted the stg 3 pics 2 times

Awesome man!! Good luck!! Everthing is looking great!! This makes me want this turbo so much more!!

I want that turbo as well maybe BF if not till next year

I'm thinking of custom making a 3+in intake with my buddy Kyle who did Jon's custom DP and getting it possible ceramic coated for heat control

Well come up to ND when it does down!!

I think this is the BEST turbo for our car good for DD around 400 and i guess we'll see what it can do next year

Well I think any turbo would be fine it all comes down to the tuning lol

I wish I could lol

nice car bud, whats with the green coolant?

I'm cheap and have had 3 rads in my car so that's what I had

My choice would be K04r or 7163

I like tuning big turbos
