The engine would only crank when the cables were hooked up directly to the jump pack, no battery present. See latest post for the fixWhen the key is in the ignition position, does everything work as usual? (radio, cluster, door chimes)
Can you have someone listen with the hood up when you hit start to see if the clicking noise is coming from the starter solenoid?
Also, can you check the cable connections at the starter to see if anything is loose or severely corroded? (In the past when I've been diagnosing a no crank issue due to loose cables, sparks would shoot out from the poor connection. The only way to see if was to have someone watching, otherwise I would never have noticed it from inside the car.)
I might be missing something, but if I understand your descriptions - the engine will NOT crank under any condition. Is this correct?
Appreciate it! Picked these up from a guy who had them on 240sx for a great deal. 18x9 and they came with good rubber (275/ 35/18) so financially it made great senseHas to be a connection somewhere, right? Sounds like you’re getting close!
That’s a nice looking ride with those FR500’s! Contemplated them for mine, but the 17’s were eternally out of stock at LMR, and I got tired of waiting!
I would have expected a black sealant adhesive more like 3M windshield gunk.Tore down the back seat and quarter window assembly so that I can glue the window back to the track. Had to remove speaker enclosure and seatbelt bracket and then 4 bolts held in the entire assembly. Used a razor blade to scrape off old adhesive and cleaned with a degreaser. Applied the new stuff and now waiting for it to fully cure for reinstallation.
I looked into the 3m windshield adhesive but it was $32 vs $7 on Amazon. This was also marketed to have instant hold which I wanted so I wouldn’t need it clamped too long. If it works well, I will sing it’s praises. 2 hours of cure and it seems rock solid. Will install tomorrow when daylight returnsI would have expected a black sealant adhesive more like 3M windshield gunk.
Does Gorilla adhesive list glass on the label?
That's great news! I'm really glad to hear that it was just the cables. Nice job!The engine would only crank when the cables were hooked up directly to the jump pack, no battery present. See latest post for the fix
Thanks, so far I have acquired every piece for the build EXCEPT for the head unit. Still waiting on the funds for that one or a deal on a used unit.I think your boost plan is pretty solid. I recently (this past winter) put a v3 SCi on my HCI 302. I went from 300hp to 416hp at 6.6psi.
The blower kit I'm buying will come with the 3.33 pulley that comes stock in the kits so I will be running that one initially. I am not sure how much the crank pulley will add because I cannot find anyone with that size as the foxbodies can run 8" pulleys due to more space. With the 3.33/7.25" combo and the power pipe I am hoping to be around 10-12 and will adjust the blower pulley if she makes more boost than anticipated.How much boost do you plan on running with those pullies? 14-16psi? That’s a little much.. I would think about head studs at the minimum.
You're absolutely right. I do see conflicting reports on people's boost levels as it varies so much. I actually am a little bit more worried about the trans/clutch than the motor to be honest but both are very valid concerns. I appreciate the insight as real world experience is always helpful and appreciated. The good news is the 3.12 is a desirable size so I should have no issues selling it and picking up a 3.55" or something in that realm to even things out. Going to the Vortech inlet system would also work but after having that intake tube in my hand I could not install it in the car seeing that massive restriction.I see. Anderson advertises 12-15psi with 3.33/6.87 (and I assume their power pipe). I would guess you’d pick up a couple psi with the larger crank pulley. Even around 10-12 psi I would be nervous about blowing a HG or worse. I’m sure you’ve done your homework and I am not trying to offend. This is what my hundreds of hours of recent research has concluded so I figured I would share.
