    Baffle for Factory Valve Covers?

    I have the scorpion 1.6 RRs. There was not alot of clearance on the sides but they did not rub. To be safe I made some extra clearance. :D

    Baffle for Factory Valve Covers?

    Hi Jim, I went through this dilema when I built my motor. I first removed the old baffle and ground material away and made a new baffle and reattached it by drilling some new holes and using self tapping screws. This worked but I was nervous about the screws. Even though I used loc-tite I...

    windage tray in the way of dipstick

    Same problem I had when I installed the Mac windage tray. :( I was able to force the dipstick to go down but I was not happy so I unhooked the mounts and raised the motor and removed the oil pan. I found that when I was forcing the dipstick it was actually being redirected at an angle and was...

    New track times after H/C/I

    Thanks iLkYsPoNy. My work rented the track for the day and also rented a portable dyno to use for free. I got a run in and it ran 318rwhp. The dyno was not the best set-up and did not gve me hp/torque curves. It gave me speed/hp. See attached link for the print-out. I also weighed at 3020lbs...

    New track times after H/C/I

    Thanks. Actually, my first run was 13.83. My second run I lugged it and ran my worst time at 14.03. I found that launching at 2000rpms and feathering the throttle worked best which I was getiing 13.3s. I went around the water box and did not heat up the tires. I also did not powershift...

    After H/C/I, what supercharger?

    Ok clear as mud. I do not want to get the car tuned right after the install I may go to a tweecer and tune it myself. I am just trying to find what I should start with.

    After H/C/I, what supercharger?

    This is an S-trim with 6psi. How about a 255lph, 30lb injectors and a FMU? The reason I like 30lb injectors is because I can get a set for cheap. Otherwise if 30lb are too small then probably 42lb?

    After H/C/I, what supercharger?

    I installed AFR 165 (61cc) heads, Comp XE270 HR14 cam, and Edelbrock Performer intake. I want to install a mild supercharger but do not want to split the block because the bottom end is stock rebuilt. I am around 300 rwhp and would like to be around 400 or so. What supercharger and supporting...

    loss of power after H/C/I install. need help

    I think you are confused between carb cars and fuel injected cars. :shrug: Doing a cylinder balance test is no different between carb cars and fuel injected cars. This procedure is accepted practice in the automotive repair field and in fact the National Automotive Technicians Education...

    coolant system pressure

    Your gauge is probably correct, it may be around 220F without boiling. Remember pure water boils at 212F, but a 50/50 mix of water and coolant raises the boiling point to 223F. The fact that it becomes a problem at idle indicates that you need better airflow across the radiator or a larger...

    New car No power

    Insulated spark plug boot pliers work the best. But you could insulate a set by wrapping them with electrical tape.

    Tips for buying used engine?

    Anytime I buy I used motor I pull the oil pan. This will give you a good indication of the condition of the inside of the motor. Check for sludge build-up and blockage of the pick-up screen. :D

    New car No power

    I would start with the basics. :D Do a cylinder balance test and see if all eight cyliders are contributing. you can do this by pulling each spark plug and measuring the drop in rpms an each cylinder. If you get to one that does not have any drop then that is the suspect cylinder.

    loss of power after H/C/I install. need help

    My car did the same thing after H/C/I. It ran poorly and I messed with timing and fuel pressure to no avail. A couple days later when I was checking the timing I noticed one of the injectors was unplugged. I plugged it in and it ran great. I never thought the car had a miss because I had a...

    Eaton M90 on a fox?!?!

    There were three different generations but the housing and mounting does not change. I have a third gen with coated rotors and also a 1st gen with bare aluminum rotors. In 1989, 1990 the rotors were bare aluminum. In 1992 thru 1993 the rotors were gray epoxy coated. There were small changes...
