Ford Mustang -88, Blown SBC, E85, Microsquirt

Post by paw »

Hello guys!

Another project, Pro ET- class Ford Mustang with a blown Small Block Chevy engine.
Fast EZ-EFI converted to Microsquirt ECU. Since the first version of the Fast EZ-EFI doesn't really like boosted engines and it's limited in tunability, going Mega was the best way to go.

Quick specs :
- 350ci Small Block Chevy
- Mild hydraulic flat tappet cam
- 6-71 Blower
- Fast EZ-EFI throttlebodies, sensors, fuel injectors and wiring harness
- Innovate MTX-L wideband lambda
- Microsquirt ECU, fuel only
- E85 Ethanol

First start from last weekend. Still a lot of fuel mapping to do : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc9gFHWdduM

Let's see how the first 1/4 mile tests go this coming weekend.

First National Championships event was held last weekend which was the first showing for the Mustang and driver.
The first run was 10.3secs, best run of the weekend was 9.7secs!

Not too bad for a stock blocked, TPI headed, mild hydraulic cammed 350 SBC! A blower makes everything better :D

Here's an on-board clip of the Mustang during an European Drag Racing Event held in Alastaro Finland

We went down on the power from 13% over to 13% under on the blower, just to be sure not to go faster than 9.700secs which is the limit for car drivers under 18 years old.
Still with the fuel mapping getting right we were running 9.9-10.1sec times :D

No delayboxes or driver-aids of any kind and starting from idle! (not using transbrake)

The kid finished second and he's second in the Finnish championship standings :D
