    I am going to order one of these, money is a concern so I am looking at the microsquirt based on price. I dont have a power adder car so I dont need a lot of add on ability but I also dont want to end up wishing I had bought a larger system. Mainly I need to turn out the smog stuff that isnt...

    Engine EGR not hooked up. CEL on

    Ok, I have the plug hooked up to the EGR but the EGR is laying back hanging. The side of my spacer has a block off plate. What are the ill effects from this? I have the factory A9L so cant turn off the CEL. Is this causing the car to run poorly? I have a few issues I am trying to work out...

    Where to buy new Fuel Injectors??

    I am switching my car back to 19# injectors from the 24# setup on it now. I tossed out the old pintle cap injectors a while back and I want to go with the more efficient and newer 4 hole type. Would like to have the skinny EV1 type like the explorers and had but would be fine with the bosch...

    2000 GT Strong exhaust smell possibly really rich but no codes

    Some background. We did an engine swap on this car. It had a locked up motor so we put one from a 2002 in it. We used most all of the wiring and sensors off the 2000 and we do have the orange top injectors on it not the pink ones (the 2002 had orange). We did have to use the MAF from the...

    Moates / TwEECer / MicroSquirt? Which one should I look into?

    Been fighting with little issues after making a lot of changes to my car at once. I have a pretty long thread going in one of the other forums about it. Wondering if I can do my own tuning and save myself some future headaches. Long story short I built a new engine for my car which was...

    Swapping a 4.6L from an 02 into an 00

    It looks pretty straight forward and I have swapped plenty of engines but I usually do apples to apples easy but want to make sure this is as straight forward as it looks. Were there any differences that would require us to pay attention? I know one is a windsor and one is a romeo but should...

    Tremec 3550 (TKO) Too far to the right in the shifter hole?

    Guys I have had this car for a bit now and the shifter bolts have been hitting the shift bezel pretty good in 5th and R. I did a engine swap this weekend and figured I would find out why the tranny set that way when I had it out but when re installing everything is the same. Just sits a couple...

    Electrical 1993 Mustang GT Clock Spring

    So from what I can tell this is a 93 specific part and it is also discontinued (thanks a lot Ford). I am pretty sure mine is broken or damaged as the air bag light blinks, I get a dull beeping under the dash periodically and the horn does not work. Has anyone successfully retrofitted another...

    Engine 19# or 24# injectors?

    I have everything already except for the Mass air injectors currently. Getting ready to swap in a new motor. Trying to decide if I need to go ahead and use 24# for this or if 19# 4 hole type injectors are fine. I dont plan on doing any "major" upgrades later, maybe small stuff but no power...
