    Fuel Pump Fuse Blowing

    Went to get my 02 GT out of winter storage today. It has a Kenne Bell 1.7L 'screw and there's a BAP wired into the OE fuel pump. The car has had this configuration for many years now with absolutely zero issues. The car went into storage in late October of '15 and ran like a top. Today after...

    Digital Tuning Innovate LC-1 users in here (long)

    I installed an Innovate LC-1 in my KB 02 GT last summer and have two issues I'd like to pass by others for feedback. Background: The car is running the factory H-pipe. I have removed the B2S1 O2 sensor and installed the WB sensor there. I wired the LC-1's Analog 1 output to the factory O2...

    Innovate Lc-1 And G2 Gauge Question

    Just installed an LC-1 controller, WBO2 and G2 gauge in my 02 GT. Everything seems to work fine except once in a while after an engine start the gauge needle does not move off '8'. The gauge cycles after starting, returns to 8 and just lies there. The controller LED is on solidly which...

    Water Pump: Shaft Play?

    - 02 SOHC, ~80,000km (50,000 miles) - chasing down a ridiculous noise from motor (see here); judging by the title of the vid at the time I thought it was the Kenne Bell making the noise but it's not (blower has been completely rebuilt and noise persists) - noise is worse hot; barely noticeable...

    160o thermostat guys: How hot do you run?

    My KB 02 GT has a 160o thermostat that came with the supercharger. The coolant gauge needle typically sits in the 2nd quarter region of the face but I find it tends to spend more time nearer the middle of the gauge face than I would expect given its lower rating. Where does your gauge sit and...

    My Kenne Bell needs a rebuild: Recommendations?

    I've been getting some noise from the supercharger for a long while now. This noise occurs at certain points on the tach (typically at ~2K and quite noticeably at ~3K). I don't hear it at all at, say, 2500. It's worse when the blower/engine is hot. It's generally at its "worst" when at...

    Serp. belt tensioner bolt

    The serpentine belt tensioner on my 02 is retained by a single bolt. According to my shop manual, this bolt is TTY (torque to yield): tighten to 89 in-lb, then an additional 90-degrees. I've gone to a Ford dealer looking for this bolt but they didn't stock it and said I had to buy a bag of 4...

    Tensioners, idlers

    This spring I'm going to be replacing the idler pulleys and tensioner on my KB-blown 2V. I haven't had any issues except a little bit of a squeaking noise so this is more of a preventive maintenance thing. The car is 9+ years old now and all these parts are original... I've been looking...

    Kenne Bell 1.7: Idler setup?

    I recently installed a ghetto (I cannot emphasize that enough...) huge (4") intake duct on my 9#, I/C 1.7L-equipped GT that replaced the OE ducting from the MAF to the throttle body. I use a 3.5" to 4" 45-degree elbow from the MAF to this fiberglass duct and at the throttle body, a 90-degree...

    90mm Lightning MAF fitment?

    I'm thinking about upgrading my OE MAF to a 90mm Lightning part because some logging in the fall showed that I'm close to saturating the factory MAF even at non-WOT conditions. Thinking about this: from American Muscle. I'm curious to hear from those that installed this regarding...

    Block heater leak?

    Tromped on my KB 2V Saturday and was greeted by a rather sizeable and billowing cloud of steam behind me. At first I thought I'd hurt the motor but it was running on all 8, no noises, no apparent power loss or stumbling, no coolant in the oil, no steam out the tailpipes that I could tell etc...

    Kenne Bell: Intercooled or not?

    The Power Adder forum seems a bit slow so I'll try here too: I'm looking at 2V superchargers from Kenne Bell and talked to a local distributor today about them. My original thoughts were that I don't really want to run 9PSI (TS1000-99-INT) on the street for a number of reasons one of which...

    MRT H-pipe: Replacement converters?

    My car's had an MRT catted H-pipe: for a while now and seemed to be losing power, gradually, for some time. It dyno'd surprisingly low before the cam installation and afterward, the numbers weren't great but okay. I had it tuned locally a year ago and the car put down an okay 274HP but a...

    02 GT emissions sniffer fail

    Car has Comp 262AH cams, an MRT catted H-pipe, 24# injectors and custom tune. No MIL. Runs great. Gets ****ty gas mileage -- worse than I'd expect but since it runs well and doesn't have sooty tailpipes I figured it was average. Subjected it to a sniffer test today. First is an ASM2525 40KPH...

    What shops do you guys in the GTA, with modded Stangs, use for Ontario's DriveClean smog testing?

    Oil puddling on valve cover near PCV?

    02 GT with a Romeo. Basic bolt-ons and Comp 262AH cams. Low miles (38Kmiles). Anyone else see oil pooling in valve cover bolt holes near to, and apparently leaking from, the PCV valve on passenger side valve cover? I dab it up and a week or two later there's a fair amount of oil back...

    Tuned 2Vs: What's your ignition timing at?

    I'm not satisfied with my car's post-cam install power and am suspecting the tune. Although I've got time scheduled for a re-tune (with a different tuner) a week from now, I thought I'd do some forensics to see if my current tune is suspect. I dusted off the old AutoTap scanner and did some...

    Dyno tune AFR from tailpipe on catted car?

    At a recent dyno session I went to I noticed the exhaust sniffer for AFR monitoring was placed into the tailpipe of a car with catalytic converters. This got me thinking... How valid a reading can one get from this? Modern three-way catalysts convert HCs into water and CO2...what is the...

    PI 2V: OEM springs with Comp 262AHs?

    Who here is running Comp 262AHs with the original springs on their PI 2V? Any issues with this? As I understand it, 262s don't need a spring upgrade though it is recommended. What're your thoughts?

    Comp XE262AHs installed: Sounds like a Powerstroke at idle?

    Finally got my XE262AHs installed in my 02 GT at a very reputable shop. The car idles well and gained right around 20HP in the process, seems to run really well otherwise and so on but... One thing I noticed while poking around was that the engine has attained a sound characteristic that I...
