Engine not happy

FordTard · Jan 28, 2009

My roommate works at SuperChips and is one of their calibrators on the Ford team. I let him drive my car to work today and He threw it on the dyno and it made 186 hp and 243 trq. [mods in sig] I know I have 90psi on cylinder 3 and my highest psi was 145 so the engine is tired. Just thought I would throw this up here.

After this he threw a tune on my car and it feels better but did not have time to re-dyno.

You may be suffering low compression from when your dad took your car for a joyride and wrecked it.

I think its low on blinker fluid which caused the muffler bearings to spin and it messed up the O pipe

nope. 5 speed.

LSwhat?

Sounds on par if u have one clylinder not making over 100 psi. I'd say its a ticking time bomb. Don't put an ls motor in there. 4.6's are a dime a dozen for PI motors. Find a wrecked exlpoder and put an all alum block pi motor in there. U'll be faster and love it.

why not drop in a 13b from a 2nd gen rx7 i mean who dosent like to 9.800 RPM redline lol and they are easy to mod all you do is drop a muffler from autozone and you will make like 150hp more to the weels lol jk.

i think drop a pi motor in their with a 75mm TB with a 125 shot, 3.73's and you'll be set

or just buy a 99 and a little 100 shot. i think this will be better in the long run

Mustangs too heavy. It will need the 20REW twin turbo

FordTard · Jan 28, 2009

All joking aside I am seriously looking at what my options are. I am figuring out how much money I can spare right now and that will determine what I can do. I like the option of freshening up the bottom end and doing a PI swap. From there if money allows I would like to do gears and may be bolt up a t56 while the engine is out.

Any other [serious] suggestions?

Shes gonna let go on ya, mine just did. Do the swap now. There are good deals out there, I just got a killer deal on a 98 motor with a PI swap, its being installed in my car right now

I am always afraid of these threads, how do people motors get in this shape.
