Remaining Battery relocation pics:







I'm trying to stay warm and of course working on the TI.

I'm in the process of doing some small upgrades and hope to update this thread with some good info.


Seems that you mod list is growing too......maybe we need to arrange a meet.

TRM vs TMS Round 1

Ok guys I had a TMS chip in my S52 with a OBDI swap, M50 Manifold and a 3inch Afe intake.
Previous dyno sessions showed that the car was running lean on the top (I thought it was because of the 17lbs injectors). Called TMS and was told that "all dynos read lean b/c they sample from the tailpipe" and no retune was needed. I offered to send my dyno graph but I was assured that that wasn't needed.

Dynojet Numbers (For those who say "your numbers are or seem low etc.):
TMS Tune, S52, OBDI swap, M50 Manifold, 3inch Afe intake, 17lbs injectors.





Mustang Dyno:
TMS Tune, S52, OBDI swap, M50 Manifold, 3inch Afe intake, 17lbs injectors.




Or
See Attachment: danny afr (2).pdf


Well the great buzz on another forum lead me to The Racer's Market. Bret looked over my graphs and sent me a new tune for larger 21lbs injectors.


Mustang Dyno:
THE RACER'S MARKET Tune, S52, OBDI swap, M50 Manifold, 3inch Afe intake, 21lbs injectors.


Or

See Attachemnt: danny hp torque BA.pdf

This shows the gains from the TMS software to TRM and 21lbs injectors.



TRM 4th Gear Run





THAT IS ALL FOR NOW STAY TUNED for round two!

New Exhaust: AA Track Pipe with a dual two inch rear section.

When I initially did this swap I was highly restricted to modifying my exhaust mostly due to the lack of a TIG welder. What I came up with worked as far as fitment was concerned but was very restrictive.




As you can see the dual portion was reduced to a single section that measure less than an inch at the smallest point.

The mufflers I used were sourced from the Rodshop.com http://www.stainlesssteelmufflers.co...lers.htm#quiet

and consisted of two of their quiet 2 inch mufflers.

The piping used was 18 gauge 304 stainless sourced from mcmaster.com






Overall the vehicle is much more responsive. The amount of torque that the car produces feels the same but the horsepower seems to have increase significantly and I cars climbs to redline much more franticly. The exhaust tone is deep and subtle, I can hold a conversation on the highway at 3700 rpm without yelling and the police don't even give me a second glance. Be advised that this is after a 300 mile break in.

Stay tuned for an updated dyno run and pics of the exhaust on the car (it doesn't look very intimidating but I,m sure I picked up a few HP).

Wow its been a while since the last update. Not much as changed with the car. I'm mainly focusing on reducing the weight of the car along with some suspension mods.

I relocated my window and emergency light switches to the center console.
The bimmerworld radio delete plate was used.







MOMO was having a clearance sale on some of their discontinued wheels so I had to pick this one up. $100

Removed the door panels and installed a couple nylon straps to act as door handles. These were sourced from a Porsche 911 RS America.



This is how the car currently sits.

I like that wheel! Looks like it's the same exact one as mine, but mine's black leather. I love it, I'm sure you will too
