I'm anxiously awaiting that story RD.@madmike1157 , Have you not read the "Florida Man" stories?
Or met the folks around here?
And the weather?
Actually....screw the weather?
With all of that, do you really need to ask why I drug the family and all my crap across the united states for fun filled days of rain and lightening?
Ok....new job in Tampa. I'll let you know as I'm awaiting a couple of my neighbors to make the next episode of COPS.
John will pop back in. He's one of the previous owners of my white car. He checks in from time to time over the years. As far as the "Cops" episode. We came close. We had a group of kids come to our circle and start checking everyone's car for guns and money (common according to the cops). While talking with the local cops, some dude shows up with the old "so you see what happened here was." Of course three of the neighbors have recorded the guns and money crew through their home security and have identified the car, time, and whos cars where searched. The "dude" just continues on with the theories while the good officer patiently listens, as we wander who the heck he is. Thankfully the officer has already seen the video and knows that his time, random description of the kids, and story is completely off. Come to find out the neighbor's adult son is staying with them. Always wandered if the tv program interviewed the least intelligent folks in the neighborhood. The "dude" would have qualified that night.
Not to your liking Mike? Always open to having you take a trip down south to better educate me. Just make sure to bring tools, or a six pack.Tranny fluid, stabbing a dizzy,.......dropping oil.....IMgonnapuke
Dave, I can't say I am any closer than two years ago. I continue to jump from other projects, work, and other peoples repairs. I will probably be hitting you up for advice when it comes time to paint the cobra insert, and touching up a couple of places.
Now this is a case of " that sht don make no sense".
Him needing advice on his fuel line dilemma wouldn't matter if the car was N/A, or turbocharged.
Looked to me like he was trying to find a better way to run.......fuel.
dogging a turbo like its some evil thing that causes sht to break, or in this case, keeps it from running......smack yourself.
What kinda detective work is that? cyber-sleuth...
Honestly, Mike is right on this one. I've had the same turbo kit for years and have had little to no problem with it. Though I can't comment on HP's customer service, the kit worked extremely well with the previous stock 5.0. This mustang was actually purchased as a parts car. The motor had been beaten on prior to me owning it, but I managed to get it running decent before doing a rebuild on the vast majority of the car. The lack of motivation came from several moves, excessive work, and several surgeries (knee and back). The demise of the first engine, well I can't tell you if I washed the cylinder, or mistook it for the lumpy cam in it. Either way, that's my fault for not noticing it sooner. Placing a turbo on an engine that never intended to use one could go wrong depending on the user. The user is the multiplying factor. 20 years ago the simplicity of naturally aspirated motors would have been better for me personally. I like things to stay in one piece now. Back then, a little more nitrous or boost was too tempting.
Sick, I like your idea on the rails being fed from the rear. I sat down and added up the cost, and will likely just extend the fitting out from the front of the rail. Instead of just buying one of Glen's kits, I pieced mine together between fuel rails, pressure regulator and those expensive arsed Russel lines, I'm halfway to one of Glen's kits.
