Default Slow Progress

Coming along slowly, but surely. Had some issues with the AC fitting so going with an electric compressor as it interfered with the bigger turbo (GTX30-770). Also went ahead with a ported head and added a set of cams, with the forged bottom end and semi closed deck. Should be able to rev to 8k, but will set it lower. The earlier sister car has a bit of overheating on track, so Geaux Moto is adding additional cooling. They have been good to work with, just trying to get across the finish line at this point.

No, it should be an MT82 from a Mustang. That is what Geauxmoto used in their own shop car, anyways.

MT82 from the Mustang. The glass ND transmission wouldn't work. Rear end with OS Giken (tuned) for now until someone makes a stronger one for it. Motor should be good for 550-600 at the wheels, but I'm tarketing around 430. It uses the Mustang ECU with a CAN interface to the stock ND eco. Stock ecu is handling all the body functions, There is a lot more complexity in these than the NA-NC cars.

Is it the ECU straight out of a Mustang? Or the standalone Ecoboost ECU from Ford Performance? IIRC, Ford Performance used to sell ECU's specifically for 2.0/2.3 EB-swapped cars, but I think I heard those are no longer being sold.
