My 91 XR2 FMIC & MORE Build
« on: April 01, 2009, 05:25:00 PM »
Figured I'd move my build thread here.

This is my budget daily driver for now while I'm building my 86.5 Nissan hardbody.

Specs
1991 Mercury Capri XR2
103k Original miles.

I have alot in store for this car, So keep an eye on this thread.

Right now the car is torn down while I work on the piping route, the front mount intercooler is rock solid and ready to go, waiting on some reducers and other parts to get more done.

Pictures are in order from when I got it, to how it sits now. ENJOY!

Here are some pictures of the mounting of my FMIC

Rock solid and ready to be hooked up!   :D  

Also I'll be doing a custom 2.5 downpipe since I removed my AC with 2.5 pipe all the way back. Sending my ecu out to rocketman, and adding a boost controller. Also have some other things planned but you'll see them in due time.

Enough talking, here are the pictures.

 
 
 

My manifold also has the infamous crack, so i'm looking into having a custom one made.

Stay tuned for more updates soon!

Stock for awhile, not looking to drop serious time or work into this car right now, my hardbody is my main focus.

Small update.

Got my intercooler to throttle body piping done, as well as the bov pipe. Gotta order some reducers for the other pipes. Some more updates soon!

I'll be able to help people out, but a step by step just wouldn't really be worth while. I'm kind of winging it as I go hah

More updates soon.
