    3g alternator conversion pulley swap?

    I'm waiting to get a house till the economy finishes crashing. I have quite a bit of money set aside. And yes you can. If you had to get it done to get to where you had to, it'd happen.

    3g alternator conversion pulley swap?

    FWIW, it would have been nice to have a compressor and my cutoff wheel while doing this alternator swap. Instead, I was out there with a rasp, grinding down the alternator bracket by hand. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger I guess.

    3g alternator conversion pulley swap?

    It kills me. Most of the time when I'm doing day to day maintenance on either of our cars, I use a set of harbor freight tools because they are at my house. If I go 15 mins to my friend's house, I have all snap on/mac tools with a big compressor(All the stuff from when I was a 10 yr mitsu...

    3g alternator conversion pulley swap?

    Maybe I'll go over to my buddy's house where I store my tools and fire up the compressor. I'm not trying to change pullies without an impact gun. Not like it will take me long to switch back if I didn't like it.

    Need advice oil on spark plug #8

    Do a leakdown test to see if it's the rings that are leaking. If you do it the easy way, it wouldn't take you long or cost much to just swap cylinder 8 valve seals. I know they were recently rebuilt, but that doesn't mean the reassembler didn't f up a seal when he installed it. Use a...

    3g alternator conversion pulley swap?

    It is definitely a bigger pulley on the 3g. The idler sits higher. The only thing I notice is that I have a slight flicker on the voltmeter at idle. Are you sure you aren't overspinning it with the smaller pulley though? I still have my core, so I can switch pulleys if it is a good idea..

    3g alternator conversion pulley swap?

    Is it recommended to swap pulleys from the 2g to the 3g when doing the conversion? I used a 94-95 mustang gt 130 amp alternator.

    Pypes V. Magnaflow help!

    Yeah, maybe it's been too long since I had to deal with that. I ended up cutting down my flow tubes since I ended up having to put on a new catback. Damnit.. Now you've got me getting angry while still waking up. Like I said, in their defense, they worked hard to make me happy and get...

    Pypes V. Magnaflow help!

    The catback kit would have fit well if I weren't running a pypes x pipe which is too long. I will say that Pypes provides excellent customer service. They did everything in their power to minimize the pain. And I got their catted x pipe very shortly after it came out. I have NO complaints...

    Pypes V. Magnaflow help!

    I have the pypes catback, and it's in no way too loud at idle or under moderate acceleration. It took a while, but it has gotten louder under full acceleration now. I run an x pipe, so it's kind of raspy, but I have no noticable drone. All in all, I'm ok with the sound, but won't use them...

    Hey there! New guy with questions... if anyone has the time.

    I don't see that you pulled codes. If you did, what did you get? If not, pull them. If I failed by 30 ppm, I'd do an oil change and an air filter and go right back. Out of curiosity, what is your fuel pressure?
