Damn. You just never know what's in these foxbodys.. Glad you guys figures it out!
Couldn't imagine this happening to my 93 🦊. I'd be pulling my hair out trouble shooting all of the stuff you went through. Great channel!!!
Great video set. I really, truly appreciate the mentions of everything that went wrong with the install. Too many videos just show installs too easily like everything goes as planned. Thanks for the insight on frustration and rewards of owning a Foxbody Mustang.
I'm so glad you got the fuel pump issue fixed. It's nice to know that even you guys get crazy stuff happen to you!! It's not just me!! LMAO!! Great job on getting the problem tracked down and issues resolved. You brightened my day!! Thanks!!!
Paul - Gotta love Mustangs and especially Fox Bodys! With a little know-how and patience, just about anything can be figured on these cars. -Landan
Landan good to see you figured out that problem. Im still figuring out what ignition problem my foxbodies having. I really think that coupe could make more power since American Muscles project foxbody made around 465 power and 455 torque. Thats just with a Ford Racing top end. In other words, GT40X 64CC heads, E303 cam and Cobra intake on the same supercharger kit. LMR coupe vs American Muscle project foxbody dyno result.
Been wondering what was up with this. Thanks for showing us! It sure would be nice to see that full fuel system install tho :) among many other fox body how tos. Thanks LMR!
I went through similar issues trying to get mine tune after installing the same kit from having to ditch the T-Rex because it was restrictive on my 255 in tank and getting rid of the fuel management and going with a tune and 42lb injectors with a matching Pro M mass air but that butt connector in the s hose was a doozy. Well worth the trouble though with the close to 500 hp that I achieved when it was all said and done
Dude. That was real friction life! Thanks for the video man.
Damn buddy such beautiful clean installs
Wow that sounds exactly like the stuff I've been going through for the last 3 years with my late best friend Foxbody I've been restoring. Seems like everything that could have been wrong I was wrong. I've had my hands on every single part of that car
What the hell?! That is freaking crazy. Glad you figured it out! Lol
Nice job guys. Just one thing. You knew it was a feeling problem from the start, why not drop the tank and remove the setup from inside the tank. It was a no brainer from my stand point. Not knocking your work but it is what I would have done. I know finding a butt connector in there was a real ordeal but it would have been found first. Keep up the good things you guys do!!!
Bad A$$ video. Thanks for all the helpful videos for the new car enthusiasts and my self been around since the early 90s and have had 22 plus fox bodies and I'm in my 40s and still driving and building them.
ROCK ON Landen keep up the good work brother
im sorry you ran into trouble. Lol you guys make things look so easy to install on these fox bodys, im just glad im not the only one who runs into trouble shooting problems lol.
Brad - The videos definitely make it look easy! I've seen some crazy stuff working on cars. So far, the butt connector in the fuel pump bracket takes the cake. -Landan
Awesome work Landan!
+Brandon92Lx Thanks Brandon! -Landan
How close did the charger come to the stock hood? Was going to install a procharger on my '90 , but they evidently will not clear a factory hood! Thanks for the video!
Can you run the trex pump with stock fuel pump?
Damn, I love that fox!!!
I speak from experience when I say the best move you did was ditch the C&L, t-Rex and the FMU! Looks good
Sonic 5.0 Agreed, C&L sucks!
I might be having a brain fart, but help me out; C&L?
You guys at LMR should do a daily shop vlog
Not a bad idea at all!
What was the boost?
You should do a video on the fuel system install. I need to replace the hard lines in my car would love to see a video about it.
It's on the list, but we haven't put a hard date on it yet. -Landan
I thought 4th gear was 1:1. in the description it says you done a pull in 5th. awsome results btw I bought a vortech from lmr last year.
+sidney shaw It is! I was excited to release the video and put 5th by accident! -Landan
Did you run a custom tune or just 42# injectors and a matching air meter? I didn't hear any mention of a custom tune?
That is correct! The car does not have a custom tune. Hopefully we can revisit this car again and make more power. -Landan
How much timing did u have to pull for the 6lbs
wow a but connector in the fuel pump supply hose.
Sounds like a typical foxbody head shaker, it took me years to figure out a misfire at part throttle.... I tried everything, plugs wires, distributor, timing, fuel pressure regulator and low and behold I did The simplest thing that fixed it, just took the maf out and cleaned it with Maf cleaner and a q-tip carefully, it was carbon black and chunks came off it, after doing this all the misfires and backfires were gone, amazing how the simplest and strangest things plague these cars but I love them anyway 😛
I'm laughing so hard!!! A butt connector in there of all places
Am considering getting a si trim. Has ANYONE had trouble with belt slippage? I basically have the same items as described in this installation with the exception of 36lb injectors. Will I be able to feel the power right away? Or will there be a hesitation?
the baseline run also had the butt connector in the fuel pump..
Lmao! A butt connector! When I got my 86 I found the return like was plugged on my fuel pump hanger. Found this when I dropped the tank to upgrade the pump. Someone had replaced it and forgot to uncap it. This caused it to run rich. Like yours mine had a dicey history(many unknown POs).
Still 100 hp from 2018 5.0
But a alot lighter so would be a good race
No, it isn't. Coyotes are putting down pretty similar numbers in stock form. All while weighing about 500lbs more. You're likely comparing the advertised flywheel horsepower of the coyote to the actual rear wheel horsepower shown here.
Great video. I have to get baseline numbers for my '88 GT before I decide what to do. I've heard I can be in the 370 hp to the wheels range, naturally aspirated with the 302 sbf. 400+ hp with a coyote swap. Decisions, Decisions...lol.
Did you decide?
How much boost did it make
Super awesome car! I have to ask, even though the Cobra intake does look better than the Edelbrock, why would you swap it? The Edelbrock should make more power right?
If the edelbrock made more, it would be minimal.
Mario Capetillo I was thinking the samething. I say swap the intake back and strap it down and see what it makes.
got a car at a sale one time and i found wax paper cut in o in a gas tank, 5 shops could not find it lol the car would just cut off and start back in a min or 2 , the wax paper would stick on the pump and fall off, some one hated some one lol
You need to put some kasse p-38 heads on there.
One thing that vortech doesn't state if your not running A/C you need to run a bigger P/S pump pulley and a 93 cobra R water pump pulley to have belt clearance summit racing sells the pulley
Only if running an 8" crank pulley. The 6.87" pulley is fine.
But who wants a 6.87" pulley...
So that butt connector didn't affect the fuel pressure of performance before the supercharger install?
Not really. The car ran great N/A. -Landan
Omg haven't seen that before
Which kit is this? The base kit or the tuner kit? I know they all come with the v3 but they got twice the hp gain claimed by vortech for the base kit but as far as I can find the SCI trim only comes in the base kit but doesn't include or require the FMU? Please explain haha
lmr.com/item/VOR-4FA218044L/1986-1993-mustang-5-0-vortech-v-3-non-intercooled-system
What kinda maf did you guys use? Im looking to install a vortech but the street boost system. What maf would you guys recommend?
Marcus - We used a Pro-M mass air meter that was calibrated for the 42lb injectors. -Landan
is the 100 hp/tr worth the near 3000 price range?
Not even close. Simple wet nitrous kit 350$ stock 302 will hold 100hp shot all day long but then again not every body just rides around with nitrous ready to go.
So you're saying you drilled the hatch floor and engine bay for nothing...
Did anyone catch how much boost it made? Very close to the ON3 Turbo kit they installed.
superkillr - Boost for this car was 8psi.
What fuel pressure regulator was installed?
We used the factory fuel pressure regulator. -Landan
WOW...........CRAZY !!!!!
How conservative was the tune? and what was max boost? car should be around 415 IMO.
Thanks for the replay landan... just bought a v3 from you guys last week.
Badass, Ryan! Thanks for your business. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. landan(at)lmr(dot)com
will definitely be in touch.. thanks brother.
+Ryan Jamieson hope you don't find a butt connector in the tank
Why would i be looking for butt connectors in the tank?
Lmao thats crazy but im glad yall figured it out...
Sure was. Thank you!
+Late Model Restoration this may be a dumb question, but I swear you guys were running two fuel pumps for most of these videos? How can you have the stock one in the gas tank, and then have a much bigger one in line ahead of it?
M Goldun pumps run in series will add pressure, pump in tank may produce 70, pump to may produce 100, total of 170psi in fuel line then the diaphragm type fuel pressure regulator adjusts it to the required pressure for the fuel rail. Numbers are random btw. As long as the pressure doesn't exceed the rating of the fuel lines and the regulator is working properly it won't cause issue
That’s crazy!!!!
I wonder how much of the power fain was just from the butt connector lol
Great video. Can y'all do a video on what the power gains would be if you added a Vortech After cooler?
This car is going to stick around for a little while longer. Maybe that is something we can eventually get to. It would be cool to see the before and after results! -Landan
From Part 1, when he first put it in the Dyno, you could hear it misfiring or underperforming. LMAO. Can't believe that was the issue.
HOT DAMN!
That's crazy lol!
👍👍
Americanmuscle project pick up 466 rwhp on there project foxbody With the same blower
Do you have a link to that build? Seems like a good combo. Probably smaller blower pulley I’m guessing
I’ve got the same v3-si on its way so I’m very excited to hear more on this build.
What wheels are those !?!🙉
Those would be SVE Series 3 in Gun Metal. bit.ly/2xwPCaj
👏👏👏👏👏👏bravo
This needs to be redone, like to see what the original kit would do.fore shure a cobra manifold and injector kit and fule pump .let me get this out of thin air.😡
Why not just install a 125 hp shot of nitrous? It’s cheaper
👏👏👏👍
that is hysterical.. and awful.... what dumb luck but glad you got it figured out..
good work and everything but what a disappointment those numbers are just sad
Vortech is a great charger. I spun a v1 s trim to 18 psi on a 4.6. Check out my videos.
Over 250 hp to the wheels on a stock motor? Don't sound stock to me' was only rated 225 ftom the factory. Obviously some hidden work was already done to the engine before you guys received it.
We always have to work on them because they're a Ford.....
Here at LMR we consider ourselves parts changers, not technicians. Take it from us, buy these products.
what are the odds
