Santa is bringin V6 parts this year

[Kirk]

Phase 3 will commence once Santa delivers a bunch of stuff. :rockon:

[Kirk]

The installation commences on 12/26.

[Kirk]

Nope already got the new car stereo.

Alpine 9857 with Sirius & an iPod adapter.

It will be the new year once I return home all tuned.

[Greg@GLD]

Kirkster will be hunting V8's.... :hehe:

[Kirk]

Kirkster will be hunting V8's.... :hehe:


LOL

[Elmer Fudd] Be verwy verwy qwiet..... I'm hunting V8's [/Elmer Fudd] :hehe:

[Kirk]

Not this one! ;)

Not yet. :shifter:

[sacstoy02gt]

Can't wait to see what's in store Kirk!

/me heads off to find v8 parts...pesky little sixers... :D

[00SoSlow]

Does it suck, blow or spray.

Thats all I wanna know.


him or the car???


suspense, id definately like to see what you have in store

[Kirk]

For now it will still be all motor.

[Tim Russell]

I'm just going to save up for the Boss in '09. I might have some time to come out and play by then.

[jefflouis]

For now it will still be all motor.

sounds like it'll be quite the impressive setup. ;)

[Kirk]

We will be entering new territory for the NA Ford V6's.
Parts are being ordered, we need to get an idea of the final flow numbers we should have with the new heads, then start figuring out the cam.

[Kirk]

Well the heads are packed & ready to be shipped out tomorrow for a little porting. :hehe:

[jefflouis]

are those your old stockers? something tells me that the phrase "a little porting" might quite possibly be the understatement of the year. ;)

[Kirk]

I am sending my old stock heads off to get massaged.
The prototype heads are flowing like **** through a Coop. :D

Sorry Coop I just had to say it.


If we were going NA with the motor we would easily get 300 rwhp out of this but, NA is not the final destination. :rockon:

[sacstoy02gt]

Damn Kirk!

That'll be nuts!

[Kirk]

Well we are building to add boost so the interim NA numbers will be good but not as good as if we built it for NA.

[Tim Russell]

Crazy stuff! :thumbs_up

[Kirk]

Thanks guys.

[Fast95Stang]

Holy crap Kirk! You're going nuts with that little V6!!

[Kirk]

Just putting a few mods on it. :hehe:

[01v6stangpwr]

I can't wait for a good day out at the track to see your car in action again Kirk...

All I have to say is your Mustang IS awesome!! I need to find myself a money tree... lol

As the homeboys would put it V6 Powa fo lyf yo! LOL

[Kirk]

Intakes are on their way now.
Looks like I will be getting a custom upper made since we are maxing out the stock one even highly ported.

[Kirk]

I hear they have the block, new crank in hand.
Also the girdle is almost done.

[Cobrawife]

I hear they have the block, new crank in hand.
Also the girdle is almost done.


Looks like Santa is early this year. :thumbs_up

[Greg@GLD]

I hear they have the block, new crank in hand.

You don't need a girdle Kirkster! Just tuck your tummy in a little. :D

Don't ya wish we had endless summer around here sometimes though? We're both gonna be going nutzo waiting for spring...

[Kirk]

I agree but atleast I will be racing in Georgia in March.

I am on Santa's earlybird list. :D

[Kirk]

Mmmmm New Parts! :rockon:

[Greg@GLD]

Yummy!!! Is that a TCI SFI flexplate?
You going with neutral balance?

[Kirk]

Yummy!!! Is that a TCI SFI flexplate?
You going with neutral balance?

Not sure who's it is But I do believe it's SFI.

Yes it will be neutral balance.

[Kirk]

The block is in, stripped & ready to go to the machine shop

[Jesse James]

I smell ......."secret squirrel decoder rings out"
2, 15, 15, 19, 20 :p !!!!! :shifter: Hahahaha.
:eek: :thumbs_up

Maybe similar to this 6 Kirk?

http://www.fpv.com.au/cars/force-6--8/enginetransmission/engine.aspx

:rockon:

Or This 6

http://www.fpv.com.au/cars/f6-tornado/enginetransmission/engine.aspx

:eek:

[Kirk]

Yes we have broken out the secret decoder rings for this project. :hehe:

[Kirk]

If I did the conversion correctly that is under our final goal performance wise.

[01v6stangpwr]

I'm sitting here in awe Kirk... Just plain awe... I'm also wishing that I could mod my car like you are, but it'll come with time... A house is first on the list :-)

[Kirk]

Well Joe I hope I can meet your expectations. :D

[flyin_hawaiin]

hey kirk..

i wanted to chat with you about blown V6s.... i think i got all the info i needed.. im tuning a Roush lookalike 2004 V6 next week... he has a procharger 11psi kit, 42lbs injectors, fuel pump, and ba2400 MAF... should be a fun little car.. ill let you know how it turns out, just waiting for the weather to clear!

[Kirk]

I called & left you a voicemail earlier. I left my number if you need anything.

If his motor is stock it should get about 300 to the wheels.

[Kirk]

More new parts have arrived.

ooh those look fast :thumbs_up

[Greg@GLD]

But there's only 12 of 'em....

(Sorry buddy, I had to!) :hehe:

I bet you're just chomping at the bit...!

[Tim Russell]

I'm sitting here in awe Kirk... Just plain awe... I'm also wishing that I could mod my car like you are, but it'll come with time... A house is first on the list :-)

'Tis better to get your home, retirement and other financial goals out of the way before expensive play. Having a baby has brought that home to me so I'm making sure we take care of her college savings and having the house all fixed up etc. before I spend big $$ on cars. It's still fun to watch and see the projects of others unfold. In a few years I'll get going with a car project but for now I'll just wait.

I can't wait to see and hear the fastest V6 on our site run. :thumbs_up

[Kirk]

But there's only 12 of 'em....

(Sorry buddy, I had to!) :hehe:

I bet you're just chomping at the bit...!


I was waiting for that. :D

[Kirk]

More goodies....

Wow... Kirk those heads flow better than box-stock GT40X @.500 lift... :thud:

Are those 1.94/1.54's???

[Kirk]

Wow... Kirk those heads flow better than box-stock GT40X @.500 lift... :thud:

Are those 1.94/1.54's???

No, just the stock 1.86/1.46 valves. :hehe:

[Kirk]

The short block is off to the machine shop and the cam is ordered.

[jefflouis]

i can't wait to see what this new setup is going to run. i'm sure you'll be getting even more looks of disbelief when you come back on the return road. :)

[Kirk]

Me too Jeff.

That is actually a big discussion already beginning.
We are going to do a 1/4 mile run on the dyno for an idea. The one we did last year was pretty close.

[Greg@GLD]

So when do you project this thing will be between the strut towers and running Kirkster?

[Kirk]

The install commences 12/26 and should be done & tuned by 12/30

[Greg@GLD]

AWESOME!!! You be movin' along there dooood!!! :cool:

[Kirk]

Yes we are.

[Tim]

who is tuning it?

[Kirk]

Brent Delk and if we need assistance Justin Starkey

[Kirk]

Wow custom Comp billet cam from order to delivery in three days.

228 intake with .598 lift and 240 exhaust with .613 lift.
On a 115 lobe sep and a 109 intake centerline

Just a little old V6 cam. :hehe:

Ya right................dats a lot o' cam for a six.


Will you still drive it daily ??????

[Kirk]

Ya right................dats a lot o' cam for a six.


Will you still drive it daily ??????

Yes & since I am driving it daily he held back on the cam a little.

[Nick 1]

Yes & since I am driving it daily he held back on the cam a little.


O My !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

[Kirk]

It's initially N/A the maybe within the next year put a little Procharger on it.

And those flow numbers are with the stock valves, we have installed larger ones & I should have flow numbers for them some time this week.

[Kirk]

That is the direction I have been heading in for a while, and with what I spent on the exhaust last year we are not changing it for a turbo.
Besides it will meet our goals just fine.

[Kirk]

i gotcha i didnt know you had been considering a blower i always though you were going turbo. ok just wondering

Hey no problem.

[jefflouis]

it seems like everybody and their brother is going the route of the turbocharger these days. its good to see that you're doing something a little bit different from everybody else. regardless of what you choose to use for a power adder, i'm sure that car is going to fly. one thing i keep forgetting about is that your car is a convertible, which makes what you've accomplished and eventually will accomplish even more amazing.

before i forget, what are you doing with your old heads, intakes, etc...?

[Kirk]

My current ported heads and intakes & the cam will be for sale.

[jefflouis]

alright, well keep me posted, i might be interested when the time comes.

[Kirk]

If all goes well it will be available in about 2 weeks.

[Kirk]

Today's Update:

The block & rotating assembly are back today. Tomorrow begins the assembly of the Short block. :beer:

[Kirk]

Got some new pics today!

I think it's old age. :D

The block was shot peened, and I know they are doing it right.

Awesome Kirk!! :banana: :shifter: :cool:

[Kirk]

Thanks James.

Stay tuned for updates all next week. Accessory brackets are powder coated too. :D

[Jesse James]

:thumbs_up :crn: :shifter: :cool:

[Kirk]

Well yesterday we did a baseline dyno & 1/4 mile run.
Then puller the trans & motor out.

I'll post some pics of the carnage later today.

You got it in the car and running already? WOW!!!! AWESOME!!

What do you mean by "carnage" though?? Did something not good happen??

[jefflouis]

yeah, i agree with greg, "carnage" doesn't sound overly assuring.

[Tim Russell]

:eek: Do tell :eek:

[Greg@GLD]

I think I read Kirk's post wrong; I think he was saying that before they install the new motor they baselined the old combo and then the "carnage" is of the resulting removal of same.

[Greg@GLD]

I just spoke to Kirkster, he was talking about his old motor. :D

He hopes to have the new one running by Saturday. :cool:

[Tim Russell]

Man talk about play'in with us. :p

[Kirk]

Sorry,

Yes old parts is what I was referring to.

:D

[Kirk]

LOL... you guys are funny. :D

Today we are assembling. The heads & intakes arrived late this morning.

[Tim Russell]

I was going to reply that you tie that to the antenna to indicate a clean sweep of the competition. Submarine style.

[Jesse James]

I was going to reply that you tie that to the antenna to indicate a clean sweep of the competition. Submarine style.

"I remember LOTS of those D.B.F."

Awesome Kirk! I just can't think that you didn't clean some of that hi-performance parts before re-installing. :cool:

[Kirk]

Everything on the engine has been cleaned , painted or powder coated.

The motor is back in & now it's tranny time. We should be firing it up this afternoon. :rockon:

[Greg@GLD]

Good luck buddy!!!

[Kirk]

We are doing th exhaust now. Front accessories and a few double checks & it will be time to fire it up.

Tonight will be time to put a few miles on it and tomorrow will be dyno/tuning.

[Cobrawife]

Have fun :banana: :banana: :banana:

[Kirk]

We are about to make some dyno pulls.

It started right up! Idle & cruising are good, we just need to add some fuel at WOT.

From a roll @ 70 it pulls hard past 100. We let off there due to the rain.
It wanted to keep going.

[upngo50]

So.....any numbers yet? Or did you finally decide to take a break and get some rest?

[Jesse James]

:shifter: :crn: :alc: :thumbs_up :cool:

[Greg@GLD]

Awesome. Simply AWESOME Kirkster!!!

FYI guys: Kirk is currently in an area with very limited internet access and when he does come on, it's dialup.

Be safe on the ride home Kirk! Happy New Year my friend!!

[drag79stang]

The new setup sounds absolutely awesome, Kirkster. (hell, I thought your previous setup sounded/looked/ran kickass)........:>)

For post vids/pics of the new setup soon!!!

(and I agree...........be VERY careful in the rain!!!!!)

[Kirk]

Here are the results on a very fresh motor.

246rwhp 239rwtq

We did a 1/4 mile run a 13.4 and a 12.9

Weather was crap high humidity & rain.

[Cobrawife]

Way to go Kirk, bet you are happy :banana: :banana: :banana:

What does your car weigh Kirk???

[Kirk]

3500 & change

[upngo50]

Awesome!!!

[Greg@GLD]

3500 & change


I've never done a 1/4 mile run on a dyno. How does the dyno factor for the weight of the vehicle??

Congrats on getting it all together so quick Kirkster!!!!!

[Kirk]

It was a MustangDyno and it has you input the car weight. We did it last year with the same weight, dyno had a 14.2 and it ran a 14.10.

So not too bad. It's a good guestimate.

[Greg@GLD]

Your numbers are excellent. Mustang Dyno usually reads "lower" than a Dynojet.

[Kirk]

The weather was not good but all I can say is it feels good. So let's hope for an early GLD 2007 season so we can see some real world results. :D

[jefflouis]

awesome kirk! congrats on the new motor!

[dufkis]

Nice #'s Kirk

[Kirk]

Thanks everyone.

Awesome #'s Kirk!! I'll bet you're very excited!! Engine looks great in your engine bay!!



Is that coolant I see under the thermostat housing??

[Tim Russell]

Looks great Kirk, can't wait to see the numbers after it's fully broken in.



Is that coolant I see under the thermostat housing??

What, all that and you didn't fix that coolant leak. :p J/K

[Kirk]

Nope, no drips, runs or errors. not a leak anywhere.

[Kirk]

Finally it was dry around here today & was able to get on it. I swapped the BFG's back on the rear. All I can say is WOW.

[Greg@GLD]

:cool:

Maybe tomorrow on the way home we can hook up and I can get a ride??? :D

[Kirk]

:cool:

Maybe tomorrow on the way home we can hook up and I can get a ride??? :D

You can have a ride anytime.

Just give me a ring & let's see what works out. :shifter:
