Hell yeah, another brave man that turns his own wrench! Do you have a set goal date to have it back on the road?

Thanks Kris!

I hope to be finished by Tuesday but it's highly unlikely. I should be finished by Wednesday though! We shall see.

Some pictures of Day 2 and day 3 (brutal) The instructions were pretty bad at times. Jay Hovah's tips definitely came in handy. Overall, not too bad but I wish I progressed more. Aww well. The weather also didn't help. Humid as heck!!

Day 4 and 5 slow progress ( kinda taking a much needed break/breather). Piping taking longer than expected but i should be done with that by tomorrow. Oil and Water lines completed. I am soo exhausted but I just gotta push through and finish! haha

Ape Factory 06-14-2017 07:11 AM

Where in Texas? If you're in San Antonio I could lend a helping hand wrenching and/or taking photos. You said humid so I'm guessing Houston or surrounding area :)

Nyght 06-14-2017 11:23 AM

I'm in houston. Haha, nice guess!

Day 6: So some bad news, Haha. I messed up the inlet pipe on the passenger side (got the orientation wrong and tapped the hole for PCV hose in the wrong spot) lesson learned and feel like an idiot, aww well. so I am kind of stuck until tomorrow. My tuner (Kozmic Motorsports) said they could fix it for me. Other than that, I'm all finished with the drivers side just need to put on the drivers side testpipes back on.


Plans for tomorrow,

Fix and finish passenger piping.
Put fuel pump back in
Check and inspect
Fluids topped and what not.

Hopefully I will be done soon!!

Those inlet pipes are a PAIN.

All that's left is putting the fuel pump In and cleaning up the engine bay!

Unfortunately, I won't be able to tune my car until next week (tuner is out of town at Kozmic Motorsports.)

Does the crash bar go back in or no? Seems like you'd loose some front end rigidity not running one.

tonyHTX 06-20-2017 10:05 AM

Just saw this, awesome build!

Nyght 06-20-2017 03:53 PM

@apefactory. I believe it goes on. jay Hovah has his stock crash bar on his build. I have the same exact kit as him

Day 10:

Fuel pump in!! but will take out and switch to the cjm top hat before my tune. The stock top hat on the fuel assembly is trash.

I will see if she turns on without a tune. Crossing fingers!

To do list:
Refit stock crash bar and put back hood!

Fluids topped off.

Put testpipes back on. (Need some new gaskets so I held off on that.)

I'll bet you are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

Looking forward to seeing this finish up!

Update: just ordered the CJM top hat. The stock fuel top hat is pure trash and the plastic connectors to the metal rods snapped. I figured I will just upgrade anyways.

Oh I think by next Thursday or Friday. My car will get tuned hopefully! Super excited!!

Probably not, if you have an uprev license I can help you street tune the car so you can drive it at least. PM sent.

Nyght 06-22-2017 08:24 PM

@tonyhtx coming in clutch with the street tune. (Before I get dyno tuned)

So the car starts and I had it idle for about 10-15 minutes. No oil or coolant leaks noted. The car is idling a little funny but it never dies ? Hmmm


Car sounds awesome with my ark exhaust.

The plastic top hat on mine was in the act of breaking too. When I went to remove the rods the plastic broke off.

Good stuff this weekend, we fixed quite a bit of issues and I would say we got the car running 70-80% with perfect idle. I couldn't get timing to exactly where I wanted it but Nyght found some boost leaks after I had left so I'm blaming those. Hopefully he'll have it all buttoned up before his dyno tune and at the very least he can drive to the tuning shop instead of getting it towed!

Nyght 06-26-2017 03:08 PM

@tony yeah I was able to drive her yesterday. I say for sure we are at 80%. Now it's just to check for Boost leaks and then tune for power

The car idles really really good and starts up quick no hesitation at all.

@tbat yeah my rods looked just like that so I got the dual spring upgrade from cjm.

Kozmic will do a good job. Eric is really thorough.

Car is officially tuned by kozmic and leak checked. The do an extremely extensive pre dyno check. The car drives amazing and the exhaust note is lovely

Final Numbers are 496whp/405 torque on a MUSTANG Low reading/heartbreak dyno(about 15% lower then dynojet?). the torque curve is flat as heck! I will post the chart when I get it.

Mike and david at kozmic told me my car would have made 550 easy on a dynojet. All in all I am extremely happy with the car. It PULLS HARD.

Awesome man!
