    TRANS COOLER LINES---HELP!!!

    I have a 93 N/A that is my daily driver. The top trans line was rubbing against something and now has a pin hole in it. I can make a repalcement line for it, but would rather not have to bend all of that tubing. I know how to replace the damaged line with stainless steel braided hose, but...

    MAF CUSTOM MADE COLD AIR KIT

    I drew it in Solid Works. It is the same 3D CAD design software Jason from American Chopper uses to design their bikes.

    MAF CUSTOM MADE COLD AIR KIT

    I have designed a homemade cold air kit for MAF 2.3 stangs that can be made from parts purchased at your local parts store and hardware store. The kit pictured below is made out of PVC but you could also use SS pipe. Just wanted to know if you guys thought this would work before I buy the...

    Thanks Red_LX thanks for the info. I am going to move the brake line this weekend so I can get the exhaust ran next week:D

    Force Automotive Muffler Feedback

    Yeah, they are chrome steel. This guy has done exhaust for me before and used the same tips. I know what you mean, I had to polish them all the time. Another quick question, if he puts a Y-pipe after the cat (like on an 85GT) will I still need to relocate the brake line to the center of the...

    Force Automotive Muffler Feedback

    The $175 is for 2-1/2" stainless pipes, Y pipe, (2) turbo mufflers, and chrome tips.

    Ranger Header Upgrade

    A lot of people just use the Ranger EGR tube and their exsisting 2.3L EGR tube to fabricate a new one. If you are a good welder you may want to try that. As far as power gains, you won't notice much. The header seamed to add a little more low end torque when I installed it, but I also have...

    Force Automotive Muffler Feedback

    I talked to my local muffler shop yesterday. He quoted me $175 to put a Y pipe, (2) turbo mufflers, tailpipes, and chrome tips straight out the back like 5.0's. Is that a goood price, or is he kinda high?

    cranks but no start!

    I doubt the sensor is bad. It probably just needs adjusting.

    cranks but no start!

    Crank Position Sensor If you are sure you have fuel and spark you need to check the crankshaft position sensor and/or your ignition control module. The feedback voltage to the computer should be greater than 8VDC if I am not mistaken. See the pictures below to help you locate and test the...

    Force Automotive Muffler Feedback

    Yeah, I probably just buy the Walker Y pipe or get one from an 85GT and put 2 turbo mufflers on it.

    Force Automotive Muffler Feedback

    Yeah, that's what I figured. I bought a wrecked 91GT as a donor car to eventually do the V8 conversion. I did install a Ranger header and, didn't notice too much of a difference in sound. I plan on driving my LX with the 2.3 in it for sometime while I rebuild my 5.0 and just wanted an...

    Force Automotive Muffler Feedback

    I was wondering if anyone has ever used a Force Automotive muffler on thier 2.3 stang to give the appearance of dual exhaust? The one I am looking at is Summit Racing part number FRC-5304 (see pic below). It has 2-1/4 inlet and dual 2-1/4 outlets and is roughly the same dimensions as the stock...

    Ranger Header Upgrade

    FIXED!!! Problem fixed. The vacuum lines at the EGR vacuum regulator solenoid were brittle and had cracked ( I guess it happened when I pulled the old manifold out). Patched it with some rubber vacuum line I had and everything works fine.

    Ranger Header Upgrade

    I used a coat hanger and brake parts cleaner to clean the EGR tube really good. I have also checked the vaccuum lines and cannot find a leak. I didn't pull the EGR valve all the way off, I just loosened it and tightened it back down. I think I am going to try to take it all the way off, clean...

    Ranger Header Upgrade

    Sorry I wasn't verry clear. I installed the EGR tube from the donor Ranger so the system isn't open. There are no exhaust leaks that I can find.:shrug:

    EGR delete?

    Check Engine Light Code 332 Biffmeistro, I don't know if you have already blocked your EGR off but you may want to read the info I found in a tech manual. Pay special attention to the NOTE at the bottom. You probably will get an engine light for code 332, insufficient EGR flow. I am...

    Ranger Header Upgrade

    Just finished the Ranger Header upgrade this weekend. I paid $30 for it at my local junkyard. I didn't notice much of a difference in HP, but from takeoff it made a noticeable difference in torque. I would recommend the upgrade to anyone who could pick up a Ranger header for around $30...

    Strut Mount

    Top of threaded rod chipping off A buddy of mine helped me by holding a big screwdriver in the slot while I tried to loosen the nut after spraying a bunch of WD40 on it. All that happened was that the threaded rod started to chip off. That nut is really on there. I was wondering what you...
