THE
BLISS PROJECT
04/21/2006
This
project will begin once the build up of the car for MM&FF is
completed. I will however post the results of the build up here. For
more detailed information, please support the magazine and order your
copy today.
Initial Baseline Dyno - 149 HP and 213 lbs feet of torque.
Modifications made.
Increased boost pressure to 18 PSI
Installed K&N Filter and the VAM
Installed Bypass kit (no power gain - just to protect the turbo)
Installed Turbo Coupe IC (minimal power gain 2 HP)
Installed Throttle Body Adapter Kit and 60mm
Throttle body (6 HP @ 16PSI)
The total gains for the day were 40 HP and 68 lbs ft of torque. Not bad
for a few bolts-ons an appropriate level of boost.
Stay tuned for part two.

The Car:
1985.5 Mustang SVO™ 2R
The Plan: Modify the car
to 300 Horse Power via non-invasive bolt-ons
Formally
owned by MM&FF Writer Vinnie Kung, this 85.5 SVO is destine for
15
minutes of fame in a bolt on build up series in MM&FF. The
first of
the series ran in the May 06 issue. Look for others to follow.
The
car is now
owned by Forced4's web site administrator, TJ - that's me - and will be
put back to it's stock glory once the series concludes.
Here
is the
restoration assessment for the car to date. Each item will
change to red when in progress and blue when complete.
