    My 03 turbo cobra

    2003 Redfire cobra and my wifes 2007 Impala SS
    {Dont hate on the Impala its a nice little sleeper. 5.3L {303hp} only problem is she is FWD so traction sux!! With a 2.40 60ft and tcs on it ran a 14.6@96. I have tried turning the tcs off and it is like being on ice. 323tq kills the 18's. LOL!! It runs good from a roll!





    Incase you were wondering why I went turbo..{i get that alot}. I bought the car 3 years ago bone stock. Spent $700 on it doing a cai,2.80,rwtd tune and flowmaster catback. Car dynoed 460/485 and ran 11.79@118. I came across a deal where a friend of mine wanted to put his 2.2 KB cobra back to stock and trade it in on a new c6z06 so we worked out a deal and I went kb.


    Car dynoed 599.4/519 threw manifolds and cats. I never tracked it after that because Im not much of a track guy and I wasn't looking to go break shxt left and right for a et. I prefer the other type of racing. I had the kb for about 9 months and was already talking about selling the car for something else because it just didnt have enough for me. Dont get me wrong the car was fast,abnormally fast from a roll. I raced a guy from waco with a 10.7@130 all motor c5/402 and pulled 3-4 lengths and a cammed c6z06 by 1-2 the same night. I also raced 2 track prove bikes one beening a 08 r6 with afew mods and 125lb rider that ran 11.00@130 pulling him by 3-4 lengths and his buddies 02 cbr 1000 with afew mods that ran a 10.4@134. Ran door to door with him from a 70 punch. At that point I just figured it was time for something new because the car just didnt scare me. That weekend a friend of mine's dad brought his turbo 03 cobra out. Car had dynoed 737whp on a mustang dyno. One ride and the rest is history.... Sold everything kb and blower related and built my own turbo kit. I have since driven a hellion cobra making 650whp on pump gas running rich and am looking forward to finishing mine.

    The turbo kit

    I based the kit off the hellion turbo kit but did all the upgrades people have done since the kit came out in 2006. The base hellion kit came with a turbonetics t-76 {950hp rated},3' dp,small intercooler 24x12x3,draw thru setup and 2 1/2 charge pipes. In 2006 they dynoed 847whp in mmff at 24psi. Since then people have upgraded to the PT76 {1150hp rated} netting them a average of 30-40rwhp at the same boost level. They have also upgraded to 4'dp over the 3' dp netting them 46-48rwhp at the same boost level. I added 3' charge pipes,a massive 31x12x4 intercooler and made it a blow thru system with a ba3000 that will be tuned by HPP RACING. The average heelion cobra makes 670-690whp@17-18psi and I hope to see 710-730@17-18psi with the upgrades. Wish me luck!!!

    { JUST SO YOU KNOW THERE ARE NO BLUE COUPLERS ON THE KIT!!! THEY WERE JUST USED FOR MOCK UP!!}

    HOPE YOU ENJOY!

                  Yes, I work for honda so I have had many honda/acura cars. The hondas have always been good back up cars or daily drivers. I had a 91 ex coupe accord a few years ago that I wanted to turbo but it was a auto with 300k on it so I left it alone. Now I have a 90 accord coupe 5spd and would like to have alittle fun with it. I drove the cobra everyday for 2 years before I started the build and all it did was scare people away. I couldn't ever get people to play. Most cars on the street trap 118 down and even more trap 110 and down so I want something to play with that league of car that is out of the norm. The accord is perfect!!

                      Whats the point of putting someone down like that? Isn't everyone suppose to be welcomed here?

                      And to the OP, The mustang does look rather nice. Looks like alot of work went into building the turbo setup.

                        I will post picture of my cb7 once I take some. I have to get my posts up to 30 so I can post in other sections and I figured this would help alittle LOL!!

                        I like cars in general and Im not brand loyal. I say to each their own.

                        The impala is not s/c'd. It is a 07 ss which came with a 5.3L ls4 303hp/323tq FWD.

                          It was fun truthfully! Plus the fact that a brand name base single turbo kit sells for $6500 without any upgrades..ie turbo,dp,larger intercooler,larger charge pipes,bigger wastegate,blowthru setup,etc and I have 3k total in the setup including $1k in chrome moly front suspension kinda offsets all the work done.

                            oh i know, i have no clue why gm did that
                            the l67 3.8 is capable of far more power that that v8

                            just not a mustang fan, never have been, never will be

                            cant wait to see the cb
