welcome to wacky Wednesday's where everyone has a chance to show off their
car mods, and here's this week's winner hey Scotty Kilmer fans I'm riding in a
2008 Ford Mustang GT with one thousand wheel horsepower, I know what you're thinking,
your probably saying yeah right, how does a
three valve Mustang put down a thousand horsepower at the wheels
no way so I bought this car brand-new in 2008
and this is pretty much what it looked like off the showroom floor with the
exception of the large antenna and the Cobra emblem, so I got this for a pretty
good deal this is a GT premium and I decided to put a supercharger kit on it
and that's what we're seeing here, this is an
2.3 liter supercharger and here's what it looks like now actually
obviously quite a bit has changed we're seeing white body flares here along with
custom hood, you know new wheels, new chin splitter new chin spoiler
and then I blew my engine, and here's the original block with a hole in it
obviously that's not supposed to be there, and one of the rods protruded
through the block when it failed and here's showing a bent rod
here, and also a rod that has failed fractured, so I decided to go back to
work and rebuild the engine with a 5.2 liter set up here, right now grinding down
the Rings putting the Rings and the cylinder bore so I can check the depth and
using the filler gauge here to check the gap make sure it's within spec,
here am i assembling th pistons putting on the Rings this is the o-rings
I'm putting on now and now I'm putting on the compression
rings using a tool here and putting in the installing and the rod under the piston,
these wrist pin clips are actually pretty hard to get in their kind of a
pain, but there's a tool you can use it's shown in the background there, putting
in the rod piston assembly, dropping into the block and tie into the crankshaft
there's the short block, installing the heads now this is the head gasket with
ARP 2000 head studs and it's a three valve because as you can see there's actually
three valves, there's two intake valves and one exhaust valve
dropping it down into the block, and this is a final product this engine was built
to sustain 1500 horsepower and this is the Tremec t56 magnum XL
transmission rated for seven hundred foot-pounds of torque, and here's
the engine bay with the new engine and the single turbo kit this is a single
heli and turbo kit that's been modified the down pipes have been rerouted just
so they don't hit the ground, so let me take you inside the car, I'm have
Corbeau lg1 seats with the harnesses and I have Dyna matted rear seat with the
rear seat removed from the car, I've nexus gauges
here, they actually don't make these gauges anymore,
boost pressure, fuel pressure, and air fuel ratio, here I have exhaust gas
temperature and the 85 ethanol content gauge here, and the gauge on the right is
the oil pressure gauge, there's a eboost boost controller this is one of my
favorite things in the car, essentially allows you to at the touch of a button
go from 450 wheel horsepower up to a thousand with the push of button there's
six boost settings and here's sort of a menu
that I have in my car to let the passenger know which setpoint they want
I'd like to thank those that have helped me with my project over the years, first
of all I like to say thanks to Scotty Kilmer for allowing me to share my
experience with everybody
