Akina's build

[AKINA FC]

Ordered my fuel system parts- all fuelab this time, 42402 pump, 52902 fuel regulator/pump controller, 82813 filter and 83801 in tank sock, -10 feed and -8 return. Changing all the lines on the car with hard line and black braided hose this time.
Im thinking about making a whole new in tank sending unit out of aluminum versus modifying the stock one but we will see what we can do once parts arrive this week. Still have not decided 100% as to which injectors I am going with - id's or bosch.
New driveshaft will arrive this week as well and hopefully the block will be ready also.

I am very, very pleased with my IDs so far.

[AKINA FC]

Im leaning towards the id's as well.
One other thing I have been trying to figure out how to do is tie in a flex fuel setup/sensor with the factory pcm  - I am using a gen III (2002) pcm with a 3 bar operating system. I dont think there is one for this system but maybe I have missed something?

Dsteck on the HP tuner forums might know or be able to confirm. He does a lot of flexfuel stuff for the CTS-V guys.

[AKINA FC]

Thanks, yeah I sent him a email to see what his thoughts were. I really want flex timing/fuel.
I have also been toying with the idea of changing pcm's to a newer one but dont really want to do that since I have everything set up for the 0411 pcm but right now would be the proper time to do it since the engine is all apart.

Yea it will be a PITA, but if his answer is no it wont work... it might be worth considering.

I don't think you can do FlexFuel on the Gen3 PCM - there are extra 5V inputs if you wanted to use something like the Zeitronix ECA, but I don't think the tables can be mapped properly enough to work how you'd want.  I would imagine your best case would be a 'breakpoint' setup where above E60 (for instance) it'll run the Ethanol setup and below that breakpoint it'll run gasoline.

I know the newer PCM's can do it, and it's a pretty good implementation.

Spoke to steck and he suggested switching to a e40 pcm to work with what I have drivetrain wise. True flex fuel would not be a problem then.
I thought about zietronix and some other switchable alcohol content sensors as well but none give you true on the fly timing and fuel adjustment so I may be switching pcm's in the end.
I think ill get it running again first then decide as to which way I want to go. Low boost is better than no boost haha I just want to drive it again.

I forgot about the E40!  Def would work with your existing sensors.  And let's be honest, you're going to want a standalone some time down the road, and any of them will work with either set of reluctor wheels

Thanks Zach! I am very excited about this, hard not to think about it all the time haha and there was no way I was gonna accept one of those blocks.
Yeah Jeff you got lucky on getting a good one. I really wish I would have too but like you said.....I think a new blower may be in the future. We will see how much we can get out of this one first.

Well on another note I finally finished building my rear brakes, maybe it was a good thing I had delays or otherwise I might have kept pushing this to the side.
Ended up using a stock cobra svt rear rotor, which is 11.65 diameter and kept full pad contact.

this whole build is amazing! i wish i had that kit! what year are those rear rotors from?

[largeorangefont]

94-04 mustang cobra rear rotors. Make sure they are vented, those are the ones you'd want.

Any chance you be willing to pop out another set of brackets for these?

[atli126]

I'd be Interested in those brackets also!

[AKINA FC]

LOF is correct on the rotors. I just usually put in 2000 mustang cobra for searching, there very common and cheap. I am going to purchase a full set of two piece rotors from full tilt boogie racing to complete the brake package and be done. Withe the FD booster I just installed these should be the final piece to the puzzle.
These brackets might be available in the near future but I need to finish speaking with a certain person before offering them.I have received several pm's about them already. I will keep you guys apprised of the situation.

[atli126]

Sweet! Great job btw!

[AKINA FC]

Well now for some more parts porn! Driveshaft and fuel system parts arrived! Block will be done in the next few days and she shall be motivating on her own power again shortly!
