UPDATES TO BUILD!
20 November 2023
- Winter project: pulled factory timing chain cover and replaced it with a new cover, oil pump, from ZZP
- Inspecting timing, timing chain, cams, guides, tensioner, valves, valve springs: looks good
- Considering Stage 3 upgrade for factory M62 supercharger or sourcing TVS 1320 supercharger
- Second compression test/check completed
-- Cylinder 1 - 210 psi
-- Cylinder 2 - 200 psi
-- Cylinder 3 - 210 psi
-- Cylinder 4 - 190 psi
19 February 2024
Harrop TVS 1320 supercharger installed.
- ZZP Stage 1 PCM update for new supercharger and fueling
- Siemens 60# injectors
- ZZP LSJ EV6 injector harness
23 February 2024 - Throttle Works, Boise ID
First dyno run for the car on a Mustang Dyno. 249 rwhp and 192 ft-lbs torque. Car is running lean and pulling timing on the initial ZZP 1.0 tune. Plan is to purchase HP Tuners and dial the car in. I'm not chasing horsepower, and still on stock internals, so I'm hoping I can get it tuned in close to 300 rwhp. 60# injectors should still have some room and I'm running the factory 3.1" pully on the TVS. Turbo swap is the best option for these cars, if you want real HP and TQ returns, but I like my supercharger whine!
