    Pi Donor Cars

    The vehicles listed above will be pretty much plug and play. They are the same basic engine, just some very slight variations with the plenum and maybe a plug location. You can also make it as much work as you want, but if you swap the original engine parts onto the donor engine, its simple...

    Grinding Noise

    It could be just normal noise that you are not hearing through the shifter. A short throw shifter feels better because it gets rid of the rubber grommets, and other things designed to eliminate noise. It is similar to adding caster/camber plates. This always makes your suspension louder...

    Got Traction Problems?

    Very nice stuff you got there, a lot of it looks familiar! I have the Team Z k, arms, strange front coil-overs, and springs. I went with the Strange billet rear shocks, only becaues I could get a shorter shock because of how low my car is. The only thing I dont have on there are the rear...

    Engine Cams

    If you do the work, you can probably get it done for ~$2k usd. Go HERE. Just looking quickly, but 2.5 cams, degreeing service, and the TFS adjustable crank gears would get you to about $900 shipped. HERE is a PI intake swap kit. Add a BBK 78mm throttle body from HERE. That should get you up...

    Engine Cams

    MHS has some Stage 2 and 2.5 NPI specific cams that do not require much in the way of supporting mods. Anything higher than that will require a lot of mods. The stage 2's you could literally just bolt on and go. The 2.5's you should probably upgrade to the PI intake manifold, or an...

    '02 Seat Buckle Signal Not Registering

    If it is the wires that goes to the buckle, nothing. The dinger is bypassed by connecting the wires, closing the loop. I don't know if there is a check for that on any inspection, but it just wouldn't show your seatbelt was NOT connected. If, by chance, you got the wrong wires, then you might...

    Been Awhile...

    I just passed 100k last week. I might have to part with it if I want a GT350. At least, that is what the wife says. We will see....

    '02 Seat Buckle Signal Not Registering

    I did this, and it was wonderful. I broke one of the wires under my seat, I guess it was the ground for the seatbelt. I just got under there, found the other wire, cut it, then spliced them together. Not another sound.

    All Vroom And No Boom !

    Have you made any changes? Wheels/tires? I had a friend who added new wheels/tires on his car.....and they were over 20lbs heavier on the rear than the stock wheels/tires. This unsprung rotational mass mad his car slower. There are other things, and you could just need a basic tune-up...

    Throttle Help

    I have a lot more questions.....this might just be normal. Did you have the CAI on? If so, was the sucking sound from the filter area? How long of a "hesitation" was there. like a half second, or longer. When you do the throttle, you will hear the sucking of the air into the filter, then...

    Fuel Pink Injector Going Out

    You have not made me mad, this is something that I know a LOT about. I am not going to disagree that the Pink injectors are "labeled" as 21 lb/hr injectors. I am saying that you CANNOT COMPARE THEM without balancing the pressure one way or another. When you do, you realize that they are...

    Fuel Pink Injector Going Out

    Um, are you using the picture that this Paladin put up as your reference? All I can say is LOL. I asked for proof that is not something that some yahoo wrote an put up. But, I'll play your game anyway. I will make this even more basic..... 1) Bosch Pink top injectors were NEVER rated at...

    Engine Pi Heads Or Upgrade Stock

    Save money on the Typhoon intake an get a stock Ford plastic PI intake. The Typhoon might "look" cool because it is metal, but that is not necessarily a good thing. It heats up fast. All Professional Products are rough cast which means the inside of that intake is going to be rough, not...

    Fuel Pink Injector Going Out

    Holy crap....here we go again! Can you please provide me data/proof, other than a forum, or someone's write up that they are actually 21# injectors? Facts: They may have different part numbers, they may have different colors.....but, their spray patterns, cone angles, it is all the same...

    Fuel Pink Injector Going Out

    Pink injectors are 19#. If you replace them all, just do 19# injectors. They don't need to be ford, just a 19# injector.

    Glue For Hood Scoop

    Taking a car to its potential is, I guess, a relative theory. It might be easy to hit "full potential" in a honda civic, but there are some that you can never really find out. Take mine as an example. According to the gear calculators, 4th gear at 7k would be about 145, in 5th would be 180+...

    Engine Pi Heads Or Upgrade Stock

    Mr. wmburns is right, as usual. This is been done 1000s of times, and it works well. The CR increase from PI heads is pretty decent. Add a set of cams that DOES NOT require you to cut the pistons, I recommend calling Modular Head Shop and talking to Nick. Doing a full PI swap with PI intake...

    Glue For Hood Scoop

    The only issue I have seen with the 02-04 stock hood scoops were with people that "modified" them, or tired to make them functional. Other than that, I have never seen another issue. Now, what really concerns me is that it seems all you want to do is drive over 100mph. The previous thread...
