    UPS Claim! Ruined seats, will they help?

    Some experience with UPS.. the shipper must file the claim. If they did not purchase insurance, UPS will only cover $100. If they did purchase insurance, they must comply with UPS's shipping requirements (box, packing material, dimensions, etc). A claim agent will be assigned to your case and...

    Q's for Tuners or Ford Techs

    I'll call tomorrow - I was away this weekend, so I didn't get a chance to call. I'm getting a little fed up, and am tempted to take the car back and fix the 'gremlins' myself, and then send it back for tuning. With the XCal2 that I bought, I should be able to datalog everything and figure it...

    Power Loss from an exhaust leak?

    Depends on the extent of the leak, and the impact on the inputs from the O2's to the PCM. Definitely can affect drivability, idle, mileage and even power.

    Advice on cams

    I was looking at comp cams until the guys here convinced me to go VT. VT Stage I's are a great cam for daily driving - nice and mild. Some of STII's sound good too, but all depends on what you want from your car..

    Q's for Tuners or Ford Techs

    the tuner wasn't there, so I was talking to the shop owner. Not sure of the ratio, but it must definitely be running lean as the voltage is close to zero (less than 0.4v indicates lean condition vs greater than 0.6v which indicates rich).

    Q's for Tuners or Ford Techs

    ... so I hauled my arse up to steeda today to check out my ride, and things look good on the install. It sounds mean as hell with the new cams and heads. They're going to clean the MAF and see if that improves things. When the car went into closed loop, it would surge on idle and then...

    96GT heads cam intake

    I won't be able to help you w/ your specific problem, but perhaps you could list mods and what specific type of cams, valves, etc. A video will help people to. NOTE: there were some recent posts on noisy engines specific to cams. I'd lookup those threads for some leasd..

    Q's for Tuners or Ford Techs

    Is that because in closed loop, its reading from the table vs. the o2's? Sorry, just clarifying my understanding. Cheers :)

    Q's for Tuners or Ford Techs

    Update I passed along the comments from this post, and the vacumm leak is probably not the cause, as the tuner said all of the data looked good re: vacumm (was his initial hunch when he got weird results). He said that on open loop (think this means WOT and when the car initialling turns on)...

    Q's for Tuners or Ford Techs

    My car has shown the CEL since I bought it, and always figured it was due to my prochamber. It's tough to say if the problem was present before all the work was done on my car or not. My upstreams are obviously still enabled, but the downstreams are disabled through the Xcal. I know...

    looking for info on pi heads and blowers

    Your compression is too high to do a blower properly, unless you changed out your pistons while doing the PI headswap - tough to tell when you haven't given us alot of info on your ride. On that note tho, nitrous loves higher internal compression numbers...

    Truth About CAI Systems

    There's a video on myspace of someone shoving a leaf blower into the air intake and gaining about 5hp on the dyno - you're probably better off doing that dude vs a CAI. Pretty much every mod that comes to mind is better than a CAI - look at my long list, notice I haven't even bother yet? Save...

    Q's for Tuners or Ford Techs

    Thanks svttech76, I'll pass the info along to the tuner. They had replaced the O2 sensors, but now I question if that was required.

    Q's for Tuners or Ford Techs

    So my car is at Steeda.ca right now, and has had MMR STII's heads and VT STI's cams installed. They're using an XCal2 to tune the car now and are running into problems with the O2's. Initially, they were not getting any voltage from the front O2's - they replaced them with Ford OEM O2's and...

    Door lock actuator install

    I looked into adding this to my car - it was way too much work. Replacing one might be simpler, but you pretty much have to dismantle the entire door, and I would recommend removing the door(s) to simplify the install.. good luck!

    noticable gains?

    Difference on the accufab is basically nill. 1.25hp is like losing 10 pounds, lol. I just got it because it is the best and looks the best imo. As for a good use of 5-600 bucks, I would recommend a short-throw shifter first (much higher fun factor than CAI, TB and plen), and maybe UDP's? might...

    Pissed off about Xcal2 and MPH..What do I do?

    Dont feel too bad - Steeda has had my car for over 4 weeks now, and it's still not ready. Wonder if I'll ever get it back...
