I found a 88 lx with a cage, ls swapped(professionally) th400 manual conversion, 8.8 rear end and drag pack for $15k

I bet it is the air to fuel mixture where the REAL car has a BIG engine compared to the size of the turbo which is SMALLER than it. When you think about this and looking back to the 1:10 scale of the REAL CAR which is 1:1, the TURBO should be also SCALED DOWN to 1:10. Also recommend to consider using a PLASTIC or THINNER ALUMINUM turbo since the SMALLER ENGINE should be making smaller boost or pressure which isn't enough to turn the turbine. Hope this helps. P.S. the words that are all capitalized are just the highlights to make it stand out.

I knew that was gonna look killer. Awesome job. The trim made it complete.

Solid engine mounts would have solved the gap issue 😆😆 I am serious.. I have solids and its not really that bad in terms of vibration. Still looks bad ass though. Reminds me of me 20 years ago. 😊😊 ANd honestly after 25+ years, I never noticed the offset. OMG like wow!!

What you running to about 85mph

looks sickkk! 🔥

The hood looks amazing! The trim really made the difference.

Way to get it done, man. Dang... It'll be sick to see her rolling, again.

I wonder if it will help exhaust heat from engine bay when driving? Like the front the air rams through the radiator and then flows up and out the hood.

It sits over for a few reasons but a large number of cars are the same way. I believe the fox is 1.5 inches off center. Might even be two. Allows more room near the steering shaft.

Sooo when’s the part two when you have to recut it for the turbo piping gonna come out lol😂 good video man have enjoyed this build!

Hell yeah bro looking good keep up the good content hey miss.Parker !!! Lol

Nice project bro ! Did you tune the Holley?

Bro it looks really good 🙌🏽 & dnt worry about the front cuz they will mostly be seeing yo taillights lol 😂

Like others have said, the factory engine location is offset to P/S.

Looks like we live in the same neighborhood haha, PH!

That's the way Ford designed the Fox body and no matter what anyone says You have done an excellent job with Your hood ! 🇺🇸🇵🇷🦊👍

I’m sure your off is because ur k member is lines up rite and the motor mounts are not sitting all the way up I remember timing solid mounts and I have to pry the engine mounts inn to the k member to get the to sit rite

I believe the reason they do that with the motor being off-center is so that the rack and pinion and steering can clear the motor going right through the exhaust manifold- headers. on another note what you have done with your hood looks absolutely fabulous I'm stoked can't wait to see it run keep up the good work my friend

Hey I don't know if you got it to work yet but the way the gears work is through a clutch. Theirs a screw on it with a spring inside .the tighter the spring the more revs needed. In your case the screw is too tight . Loosen screw and gear will change. Too tell if fuel's is rich or lean is by the smoke trail. You want a nice fin trail of smoke.

Dude you shouldn’t be spraying anything on your head gaskets, it’s not recommended or necessary.

Nice video but let's understand something you didn't fly to anything fly cutting is done in a mill with a fly cutter it is clean and cuts clean chips I was an aerospace machinist and build plenty of hot rods in race motors what year did was Dremel them with a pouring tool not the same hopefully you got them all around and clearanced and it will run great but sandpaper I would never touch in a boar a deburring knife or Deborah tool is much safer you leave no grit to wear out your rings and cylinder

Nice, I built a custom nitro rc drag truck with a turbo

What’s the part # for the flex plate chief?

U should try to custom the exhaust system combine with the turbo that can make ur car genuinely insane!

Where do you get this tiny turbo

Winning until you shift, those RPM drops are brutal. It seems like long as youre high in RPM band youre pulling hard.

How's the Linkwell system holding up so far? I am trying to get one for my F-150.

Good job, but running those lines along the k member might not pass tech in a NHRA track. The lines could be damaged if the motor comes apart.. That is why the factory runs them along the firewall.

If its running lean there will be virtually no exhaust on acceleration and the engine will stutter when you open the throttle, if its to rich it will spray glycerol out of the exhaust and it will be very smoky a little exhaust smoke on acceleration is a good thing it lets the engine run cooler, with more fuel flow rather than weak and hotter. I would have thought that any turbo needs more fuel as it pushes more air into the engine than a standard carb would. carb settings also depend on which percentage of Nitro your using, I always use 25%. Try googling the Manual and look up the factory settings for That R/C car, the high and low speed factory settings and start there making only tiny adjustments on the High speed needle, the factory setting for the low speed needle should generally be left alone. imagine a clock face with the 12 digits and only adjust by 5 mins at a time with your screwdriver on the brass sleeved screw on the top of the carb, anticlockwise is richer and clockwise is leaner, those factory settings would be really helpful. I recently bought a used 4.6 cc ThunderTiger Nitro Truggy with a .28 engine made 30 years ago and found the orriginal instruction manual through Google as I wanted to replace the carb seals which meant removing the needles completely to refurb them with new o-ring seals.

Good shit bro what did you torque those bellhousing to pump bolts too?

.. believe i would have swapped the heads for smaller Valves, & maybe Blower It or something .. 🧰👨‍🔧💯

You gonna have a hard time getting any turbo to work on a 2 stroke.

She’s looking proper boys 😂

where do i buy a full stock of them turbos just need a link

Good call on the motor cycle jack any link for it?

How much to make me one

Very nice dude!!!!

Props!

My man gettin her going i put a powerglide in my fox

The auto swap is gonna make this car fly!!

Be careful when you start it to keep an eye on the fluid level. I don't like using anything less than a quart of fluid in a dry converter.

I always enjoy your videos and they motivate me! Nice work dude!

You just gave me an idea for all my scrap 2x4 pieces... not joking either. You are so me from 30 years ago, no help, figuring it out on your own. We didn't have KZbin then, but still much respect to you. TC's feel like safecracking sometimes. R33, L78, R55 I am following this since I may be looking to swap out my 3550 on my '88 GT with a 408W. Wife cant push the clutch in 😆😆. Looking here for ideas. Keep up the great work!!

Where have you been? Glad to see a video up

is your driveshaft going to be correct length?

Have you tried flipping the crossmember the other way upside it looks like it would be close such a shame to have to buy a new cross member such a nice piece you have best of luck love the build

Man.... I feel like it's lame as hell to go autobut recently I have been fighting it lol I'm tkx now and it's got some tire on it but I street drive it and it's absolutely frustrating knowing how much faster it would be auto 😂 I'm fighting it but I may not be far behind you on that swap. Out of curiosity, why the 400 vs a C4? I haven't really looked into it but if I went auto I was planning C4 w a brake.

TYhere is a better way than that You can buy a Cutter that goes through the Valve guide It is a lot more precise.

you know you can warp a aluminum head by Bolting one end down and not the other, Your taking a chance.
