    Burning up alternators

    I keep burning up alternaters. I've gone thru two already. What should i be looking at that could be killing them? I just converted to a 130amp. The first one lasted about a week. This one has gone for about 3 months. They just stop charging. I found the first one died from a problem with...

    g-force transmission reviews PLEASE

    I love mine! The only bad thing I can say about them is that they are louder than a standard T-5, but that's because of the thicker gears. I can beat on this thing, and it keeps on ticking! I think it likes powershifting. :D Plus, weighing in at an even 4000lbs in my Ranger, I has alot of...

    Serious Discussion: Velocity vs. Amount of air available

    One thing about velocity is that too much will kill a motor. Anything above 440 fps is way too fast and creates too much drag with the boundry layer at the port walls. So you get excessive tubulence, and hindered flow. (But too little turbulence will cause fuel to condense on the port walls)...

    Broke the T-5

    That is just how my T-5 blew apart! SPEC stg 3, grenaded 2nd, only mine was in the rain. The counter shaft had no teeth on it for second gear. Very cool,.... well not really. I went with the GForce, and am very happy with it. This thing seems to love powershifts! But you will have to...

    Ran a Dodge Viper GTS...

    Good race! My buddy used to have a Viper, so I know what they can do. And I must say launching those things is a pain! Either bog or wheelspin. The best thing to do is get the tires to bark, then hook. All that is left to do is plant your foot. I've seen Vipers run high 11's stock, on stock...

    Installed Blower.. have questions

    Wait, if you tried to get on it without an FMU, and it entered boost, then it fell on it's face because it leaned out. Don't enter boost until you have an FMU. Engines are expensive. The check valve goes in the vacuum line going to the map sensor. You just cut the line and insert the valve...

    Help build a reliable 347. What parts or Kit to use??

    100 bux!!!! Man what a deal! I'll need to see it soon. I had my motor machined by performance clinic in Fairborn. But after having Kammer & Kammer do the work on my axle, and taking a tour of the place, I think the next machining project I do will be at their place. They have both an...

    Help build a reliable 347. What parts or Kit to use??

    What's up Marques So your going with a 347 now.... :D I say piece it together. Do you know who you want to do the machine work for you? What size injectors do you have now? 24's right? Oh, the Ranger is back up, and I got my Lightning blower sitting downstairs. Just need to mount that...

    Help DID SEARCH and still lost!!

    I just put a 3G on my truck. The white/black wire should see at least 10v to work right. With my alternator I got a wiring diagram that showed were everything should go. The green/red wire should be connected to ignition thru an indicator light. The white/black wire loops from the center of...

    What to do about lean mix/misfire?!!!

    Timing at 14*, set on a new balancer. Fuel pressure at 38# with the line off and plugged. And it is a stock meter. Can I pull that screen out and clean the wires? Or should I just get a replacement from the auto parts store.

    What to do about lean mix/misfire?!!!

    I have a bad miss, that will come and go. Sometimes it will just misfire a bit then go back to normal. Sometimes it will miss so bad that it slows me down. I can't touch the gas. I pulled the plugs, and I'm running lean, at least thats how it looks. #1 cylinder had a little tan, and #2 was dead...

    I have one T3 Turbo, Could I Modify one header for low boost?

    Not at all. It would not run right, and you won't get 5psi with just one T3. I'd look for another one, or do a single larger turbo and sell the one you have.

    FR500

    Sure, if you can find room for both blowers. You could also do twin turbos quite well. But from what I know nobody has the FR500 intake. In short, money can make just about anything happen.

    Car's running extremely lean

    Splitting the wire like that is like wiring the two in parallel. Both the computer and A/F gauge will see the same voltage. But the current required for the wire to transfer will increase. Not a big deal. Many people run A/F gauges, so it might be one bad gauge.

    Crazy low vacuum

    Well, with no other options I could think of, I pulled the manifold, and am replacing the gaskets. I hope this works. I'm also returning the PCV to how it was.

    Crazy low vacuum

    I'm trying to find a vacuum leak that is driving me insane! I only get 3-5 inches of vacuum. But it idles smooth. I thought the gauge was woring, but I also don't have power brakes. They don;t have enough vacuum to work. I have sprayed starter fluid on everything. I checked each vacuum line. I...

    HELP!! Does anyone know????

    Sounds like low fuel pressure. Could be the fuel pump. What pump is in the 85 right now? You may want to upgrade. If the pump is ok, then I'm not sure what the problem is.

    What rear suspension do you have? If you can hook, you will run much better.
