New 03-04 Cobra Kit weve been working on
I know, I know...
This is a GM site. But hey, a fast car is a fast car, and a sick *** turbo setup is cool on any car!
So yeah, here are the pics of the first kit. Still uncoated, mock wastegates, etc etc.
top setup
electric cutouts
wastegates, bov's and huge f'n intercooler!
passenger header swinging to the front and the downpipe headed back
Sheetmetal Upper
The main problem with kits on the newer cobras is everything ran under the K-Member and suspension. This kit is from the k-member up, in essence there is better ground clearance than stock.
The kit isnt for sale (yet) because were still fabricating, but should be done soon.
*DISCLAIMER*
I am in no way endorsing or trying to sell this kit. Just showing people the progress we are making.

Twin GT35R's = #'s coming soon
A kit made by Induction Concepts and tuned by HPP made 515rwhp with 9psi, 644rwhp with 14psi, and 730rwhp with 17psi. This was all on pump gas with 12* of timing, because it was back to back pulls. For the 17psi run we added a can of torco but didn't change the tune for safety sake.. Granted, that kit has 3" intercooler piping, no cats, non stock forged pistons and inefficiant airflow. I would expect this kit to make 800 plus on a stock bottom end. (remember, these cars has forged internals stock)

Heres the setup:
Stock upper, 6lb lower, Catted H-Pipe, Stock manifolds, Heat Exchanger, Borla catback, and a HPP Tune.

I know you said the FMIC is big, but it looks really small to me. Can you post
up pics of it uninstalled? I've been considering going turbo for quite a while. I'd
like to do twins. However, there really isn't a quality twin kit out there. This looks
promising. I also put zero stock in companies putting out new turbo kits...no offense
of course.

If you check out what weve done with the race car and our shop in the last year, Im sure youll be impressed.
Call Manny and talk to him about the kit. It has been in the works for almost a year just so every last detail is perfected.
The intercooler may look small but it is incrediby tall and thick.
Some of the interesting details:
From Manny, owner of HPP and designer of the kit-
"I wanted a 9 second true street car "I know that's what every one wants". I wanted to keep the stock fan, be able to run a bigger radiator, 3" downpipes, electric cutouts, hi flow 3" cats ( I wanted it to be sleeper quiet), aluminum discharge tubing (big weight savings), etc.... Here are a couple pics let me know what you think. All thats left is mounting wastegates, Tial BOV, and coating.
Driver side header faces forward, passenger side goes around to clear A/C, discharge tubing is 2.5" aluminum to cooler, 3.5" aluminum tubing to MAF, and 4" aluminum to TB."
Intercooler Pic and info
http://www.modularfords.com/forums/a...g?d=1150174120
On this car it is GT35R's, they are each good for around 660fwhp. Together they have already proven to make over 1krwhp on a couple different applications. The kit can house up to twin 76's, however the intercooler is good for about 1,350fwhp. So the intercooler would have to be upgraded in that case.[if you choose to upgrade to 76's]
Unit: Our preliminary production run was 5 kits, 6 counting this one. All of the kits as of today are spoken for with deposits. So in a few weeks I will post up on how all of them went and Im sure youll see the owners post up on "other" sites.
PM me for my number so I can give you the skinny and send you more pics.
