moabman Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 It started! But I had to shut it right down I left the two old alternator mounting studs sticking out and they interfered with the supercharger pully. I may have to pull the supercharger to get them out. Scratch that - I'll cut the two studs with a hacksaw blade and then back out the remainder. They aren't needed because the alternator was relocated. It did run so the electrical system is OK. I didn't get to rev it but you better believe I will tomorrow :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moabman Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Can't get the hacksaw blade in to cut the stud so now plan B. The pulley is held on by 4 bolts and isn't pressed onto the shaft. I'll try removing the belt and pulley and the stud. I need to remove the belt anyway because the stud acted like a cutter on a lathe and removed some aluminum from the back of the pulley in nice long cuttings and I need to see if any got immbedded in the belt.

moabman Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 My traction control has suddenly stopped working :happy feet: The boost is immediate and acceleration is just what I was hoping for.

68fastback Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 :happy feet: :bandance: :happy feet: CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Way to go Mark!!! Midrange torque monster! If you eventually swap that FRP tune out for a custom one (does Evo have a canned one for that?) I bet there's more available in both power and throttle response. :happy feet: ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moabman Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I'm running JDM's 475 hp tune and the throttle is pretty responsive. :happy feet: After I have driven it for a while and can analyze the response, I would like to call Jim and ask about some of the details of the tune.

Ah, right! That makes sense... I forgot where you got her ;-) You and Bryan should be a good match -- you've got more low-mid grunt and Bryan has 4.10s to your 3.73 ...interesting match. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Careful, Mark. 475 at the wheels is getting close to the edge.... What size are your rear tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90GT Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Careful, Mark. 475 at the wheels is getting close to the edge.... What size are your rear tires? I agree!!! When I asked EVO about getting a supercharger for my car they said 475 rwhp is about the max for the stock internals. Even though JDM is a good outfit and has yet to blow an engine I'd be a little nervous at that power level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 DTP Racing in VA told me he had several GT's at 500 rwhp as daily drivers with no issues. But I told him what I had was good for me. I'm not a gambler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moabman Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 The JDM 475 tune is at the crank so I'm probably around 410-420 at the wheels. However, it got a little sideways with the TC on on a dry concrete surface so I have some learning to do. I'm going to try to take it up to Texas World Speedway and get used to the new characteristics. It has made a huge, very exciting difference. Don't think I could give Ruf a good run unless we were just cruising and then punched it and any lead would only be temporary. My Mustang is a vert so I'm probably 250 lbs more, less hp, and less gear - doesn't take a genius to predict I would quickly have and excellent view of the South end of the Rufstang heading North It would be great fun to cruise together though - Tulsa?

RUFDRAFT Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 It matters not who is faster. It matters most who is wiser! Ruf is looking foward to cruising with Mark! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68fastback Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Mark, have you ever seen this car? I believe it was planned to replace the Ford GT40 Mark IV ...427 ...built by Alan Mann Racing. One of a kind, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
