Remember me??

Hey guys haven't been on this site in a long time figured id come back see whats going on with you guys and let you know whats going on with my car!


I had started a turbo kit install a few months back finally got that all done and got a total of 40 miles on her before she through a rod!!! Just my luck! So now the car is at a shop down here in Texas and they are putting in a forged 302 and re installing the turbo kit and everything.

Heres some recent pics hope all you guys are doing good!!!



Piece of the stock block I found in the road!


^all finished up the first time ha

^custom grills a buddy made for me

Damn that sucks to see... So when you say 302, did you put in a coyote or an old HO motor?

Sorry, gotta clarify these days...

just a 4.6 stroked to a 5.0 still a 3v

nothing wrong with that...

iron block...so a little heavy but stronger

who are you and why should we care?????????????

hahaha thanks david !


For getting me back on the site that it is

thats for bein mean

Haha. Sorry to hear it grenaded on you but congrats on the new stuff.

^Thanks that is how I feel to the T...I knew it could/would happen just had to happen at the worse time of course and wish I made it more than 40 miles for MONTHS of bloody knuckles,hot sweaty days and the many oil/coolant baths I took during the process haha

Not sure if it was the tune or not yet should find out this week...It was a HP performance single kit with a Precision Turbo 67mm with a billet wheel. Only was running a 8lb spring. Was actually on the way to take the car to get the a/c checked out and i pulled out hit 2nd gear rolled on the throttle at 2k she was done by 3k loud pop smoke no oil press light the car was off with in seconds...Bad deal but whatever life goes on i guess...

Is this Jarrod that use to have the grabber gt?

Yes its a ford racing iron block pretty sure bought it from a shop down here he was looking to make 1100 with a 81mm turbo but decided to go procharger and the motor was all turbo specific everything

Yes sir its me.

Did you have it dyno tuned? or is it the tune that came with the kit?

no it was remote tuned by a guy name Lito off of S197 forums he has tuned 10-12 turbo cars alone off of that forum and a number more or s/c cars all with great results. I was confident in his tune. But who knows some have said it could have been a oil pump failure idk either way its happend so what ever haha the shop its at now said they will stand behind everthing whether they tune it or not but it is getting tuned and built all by one shop so there can't be any finger pointing if something happens in the future.

BTW congrats on the new car it is SWEET..sometimes I wish i would have just sold and started over with a gt500 haha love the grabber blue though

Had that happen in my **cough**probe**cough** back when I was 18... not fun. Mine happened at 3k on the turnpike just after the Chandler exit going toward OKC. Grenaded my engine all over the highway...
