Just saw a 1985 Mustang GT Hatch go for $12k on Mecum Auto Auctions. Was fully restored and race preped. Ive never seen one before, i rikey alot, paint job was fail though.

Being American, its probably junk, can anyone confirm / deny this?

Thins is the one..

hell they didnt sell for that new.. last of the fox bodys (1994) would be my pick with a saleen kit and a paxton blower hanging off it. new ones are too smart for themselves.

the one you linked is not worth anywhere near that price.

Mustangs are the Honda of American v8's there are everywhere here and are cheaply modded probably the most arrogant cock car owners also.. it always mad me smile when i mustang 5.0 guy pulls up next to my 240 and gives me a evil look trys to leave live a bat out of hell and my RB walks him, even my sr20 beat them stock vs stock American cars = junk unless its a Corvette (lsX motors) Camaro SS (mid 90s, also ls1) Trans-am WS6 (late 90s, also ls1) . they are fun for drift with just cooling upgrades and suspenion tho gotta love v8 instant torque.

    • I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.      
    • Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!
    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
