    Need Help! Need Advice For Super Charger On 03 Gt

    The guy said he wanted "just a weekend driver, to have fun with" and "so no racing or anything" so I'm not sure what relevance a "cool story bro" track story has here. Centris lack the instant torque of PD blowers and turbo kits like those from Hellion require surgery to swap the K-member and...

    Need Help! Need Advice For Super Charger On 03 Gt

    Just get one of KB's intercooled 2.1L "Big Bore" kits. Complete bolt-on and you "need" nothing else. You might "want" a set of 3.55 or 3.73s but if you do consider a tire/traction upgrade. Other upgrades might include a Lightning MAF and cold air kit from KB. Again, not strictly needed but there...

    02 Stock Alternator Amps?

    I doubt a "big" alternator will fix your dimming issues. There'll still be too much output resistance in the alternator and too much time lag in its load regulation for it to be effective against large transient loads like bass hits. There's also too much resistance and inductance in the...

    98 Mustang Gt Inner & Outer Tire Rods

    For me, alignment and tire wear concerns would rank second to a worn joint separating resulting in a very bad day... Don't drive a car with known-bad steering components.

    What Is This Loose Washer On My Shifter?

    Speaking of shift boots, OP, why does it look like your shifter and surrounding area is full of metal shavings?

    What Do You Think It Is??????

    Bizarre. Can you get a fuel pressure gauge on it? You said before the FP it read 14psi which is, as you note, ludicrously low. I suggest you check it again and investigate the fuel pressure regulator and vacuum line running to it. The regulator diaphram may have a pinhole or an internal leak...

    What Do You Think It Is??????

    Right, but does it happen at idle? When cruising at steady speed? When cornering slowly? When cornering hard? When accelerating gently? When accelerating hard? When braking gently? When braking hard?

    What Do You Think It Is??????

    Not sure about water or debris (gasoline will float on water so water in the tank would likely cause driveability problems all the time). But I agree in spirit that the problem is likely in the tank itself and not under the hood. The OP doesn't mention the conditions under which this happens...

    Help Me Please!!! This Is My Daily Driver!

    Sounds like clutch chatter. Bad clutch install (didn't resurface flywheel, got oil or grease on the clutch facing or flywheel etc) or he put a super-aggressive puck-style clutch and/or a disc with an unsprung hub.

    Engine Rebuild Wtf

    The engine shop may have been dicks or they may have been trying to understand what your longer term plans are for the car. If you didn't say you planned a blower or turbo then it may be that he thought you were looking at a freshening but retaining the hypereutectic pistons and powdered rods...

    Engine Code Reading Rich Mixture

    Don't set it to 40psi when at idle. Set it there with the key on, engine off (KOEO) or pull the vacuum line off the regulator. Remember you're looking for a pressure drop across the injectors of ~40psi. At idle, the intake manifold is at ~20inHg vacuum which is about -10psi of pressure (with...

    Engine Code Reading Rich Mixture

    The first thing I'd do is check your fuel pressure. If it's too high you can get these codes. Set it to 40psi KOEO and see what happens...

    Engine Code Reading Rich Mixture

    There are parameters within the PCM itself stored in the form of tables and others called "scalars" that store this information. These can be programmed using an SCT tuner but you'll need a tune made up for the SCT to transfer to the car. I'd suggest talking to the Bama guys through American...

    Engine Code Reading Rich Mixture

    Fuel injectors are designed to operate with ~40psi drop across them. A stock set of injectors for that car are 19#s, rated across a 40PSI pressure drop. Your 30# injectors are able to flow 58% more fuel across that same pressure drop. That's tons and tons of fuel. There's no need to augment it...

    The tune definitely needs to account for the use of those 30-lb injectors. The FPR should be set (if adjustable) to the stock pressure specification.

    Please Help Me Identify This Knocking Noise!

    Get a mechanic's stethoscope and check around the front cover. It could be timing components; tensioner arms or chain guides. Any metallic glinting in the oil? If the chain guides have worn enough and you have aluminum arms the chains can start cutting into the arms, machining away bit of aluminum.

    Flowmaster Exhaust, Cannot Get Rid Of Knocking, Help!

    You're running a K&N filter, presumably oiled. Have you ever cleaned the MAF sensor? If not: The oil from the filter can get on the sensing elements of the MAF leading to it under-reporting the amount of air entering the engine. When running oiled filters then, the MAF should be cleaned...

    New Engine Build Questions

    That 2.851 has to be a typo. A 3.552" bore and a 2.851" stroke would yield a 3.7L V8. FWIW, their other figures don't make sense either: A 3.552" bore and a 3.750" stroke only gives 4.87L, not 5.1. You'd need a bore more like 3.625" to get closer to 5.1L... Call 'em up and ask them the real...
