    what style of hood ?

    personally i was going to get a Mach 1 hood for mine when i had the stock intercooler. looks like this one the left vent should pass a bunch of air over the intercooler in the stock location. but if I were you i'd save up and do a front mount of some sort. -Ryan

    Motorcraft PCV valve?

    on that note... could that be why i have oil leaking. The pcv valve is in the tube that is connected to the underside of the upper intake, correct? What exactly does it do? mine actually keeps blowing off (the tube with what i beleive is the pcv valve seperates from the lower tube.) I've...

    Manual Fan Switch

    my fan was tempromental (worked some times and not other times) so what i did was splice a wire right into the hot side of the fan wiring and wire that to a switch and a LED. So that way it would tell me when it was on by lighting up the LED or I could manually force it to be on by throwing...

    Ignition Problems.

    i say rip it out and work on the turbo motor to put in... unless this is your daily driver... otherwise check with a voltmeter at the harnesses. check at the ICM that its getting the right signals. Make sure the icm is working. see what plugs if any are getting spark. and work from there...

    Fan Problems

    I just finished wiring my fan yesterday. Mine was tempremental, it would work sometimes and not others. I have a loose/busted wire issue because when i would shake the wiring by the ignition coil it would work again. Eventually i gotta rewire all that to get rid of the problem but for now...

    Fan Problems

    it was my understanding that they already have a constant ground. Thats how it is in the wiring diagram. They are high activated, meaning the "switch" is on the 12V side. Apply voltage to it and it turns on. if you could just ground it to have it on constantly that would mean it would have...

    Ordered my 2.3L 40bob.com intake, now I need intercooler piping!

    i actually had an exhaust shop quote me $500-600 to do my intercooler piping.. 2 1/2" all mandrel bent. I also had another place quote me $90 for what sounded like a hack job. Your best bet is find a buddy that can weld and buy the bends you need yourself imo. I didnt do mine myself, I ending...
