    I have a vortech v2 that i'm going to put a 2.87 pulley onto. Its for a 2000 mustang and i need to know if i can pull the pulley off my self or if i need any special tools.

    Oil leak or transmission leak?

    Well the vacuum from the plenum goes to the pcv valve, then on the other valve cover there is a hose that goes to powerpipe, so i guess its allowing it to be able to breath. I did however test it out and blocked the pcv valve and the car is still leaking. As for the rings i have no clue. The...

    Oil leak or transmission leak?

    My mechanic swears that he did not mess up installing the Rear Main Seal and that it should not be leaking. Is it possible that there is just to much pressure in the engine and its causing this? I have cams, ported heads, and a vortech v2 with the stock 5quart oil pan. Could all that be...

    Oil leak or transmission leak?

    I totally agree with you, but the shop is telling me that the labor is not covered if the part is bad. This is a very small shop as well. I already owe him money for the engine rebuild and i had to go through hell just to get the car back without him holding it as collateral. He only wants $200...

    Oil leak or transmission leak?

    Really that just seems a little extreme for 8 hours of labor. The rear main seal is accessible once the transmission is removed, that should only take 2 hours at most. It should be the amount of same labor as replacing a clutch? Im assuming the rear main seal is near the clutch.

    Oil leak or transmission leak?

    Actually that is not coolant. I went to the self serve car wash and sprayed the bottom of the car with engine cleaner, which happens to be green. I also sprayed it down with cold water with the pressure washer there and it might have missed a spot. I did this so i can see exactly where the leak...

    Procharger install / tune, Shop price

    If i were you i would go buy a kenne bell supercharger. They are only 5k and they are much more torkier than a centrifugal because you get instant boost. Most people find the kenne bell more simple than a vortech, but i think there about equal. You also get a really good tune from kenne bell.

    Oil leak or transmission leak?

    I recently got my car back from the shop. It was rebuilt to the specs in my signature. I have had the car but 3 days and the last three days i have noticed that a puddle of black fluid was below my car. I went ahead and took it to the car wash and really cleaned the underside of my car to see if...

    Wideband 02 sensor help

    I believe they are turned on because i was able to pass smog in CA with his tune, not sure if that matters. I was doing some research and it looks like i need a wideband controller and not just the sensor, this sucks because i needed something now and i cant find a controller locally at all. I...

    New problem, the day before my KB install

    Umm dude, you need a custom tune to run that fuel pump. You are flooding the engine with fuel because the computer sends out a pulse that requests the fuel for a certain voltage, well when you replaced the pump its sending the same voltage just double the fuel. I would install the...

    Diablo Tuner Question

    Honestly i would save my money for a better tuner! I have owned the Diablo Predator and it really sucked, my car felt slower afterwords so i used it just to adjust my gears only. The predator had less features than the Sct tuner and most tuners that are really good use sct over diablo anyways...
