    Bbk Long Tubes O2 Sensor Problem

    I ended up moving the 02's to match the Borla Heaer's sensor location. So far, no issues, but I need to give it some time ~6-8 months to be certain. Until this point, the car was failing 02's rather quickly as indicated. The diagram in this pic is of the Borla headers, the picture is were I...

    Bbk Long Tubes O2 Sensor Problem

    The car currently has a tune on it, with the rear O2's entirely removed both physically and in the tune. The issue we are having is, that the front sensors keep failing prematurely. The car has had a total of (4) new O2 sensors over the course of a year, two each bank. I noticed that the Borla...

    Bbk Long Tubes O2 Sensor Problem

    I have this same concern on a customer's 2014 3.7L Stang. It keep ruining the O2 sensors. Usually 3-6 months at most. Both sides have been replaced twice now. Has BBK addressed this, or is there a verified fix? Thank you in advance!

    Quickest mods to beat LS1!!

    11.02@127. 10 Psi, pump gas timing on 50/50 race gas. Ran out of time, didn't get to up the boost or play with the timing. That's a $500 motor....running 11 flat. Need to add a t brake so I can leave on boost, then maybe mid 10's. 15psi and we'll see 9's :)

    Quickest mods to beat LS1!!

    Got full exhaust on the pile now finally. Track opens in 2 months, so we might finally get a slip on this thing. From a dig, street tires: From various roll speeds: Idle clip: Pretty much worthless on street tires indeed. We'll see how she does at the track on some slicks in March.

    Quickest mods to beat LS1!!

    ^ True that. However, i'm guilty of the Mustang moniker myself as well... :( But, i've learned a little as time goes on. Anymore, if it's fast I really don't care what it is, and carry just as much respect for the Ford's as the Chevy's. Both have their pros and cons just like anything else...

    Quickest mods to beat LS1!!

    I always did like the 2v engines myself. They are built pretty stout it seems. Look at the Lightnings..production 2v engine with lower comp. pistons. Rest is production hardware, If I remember correctly from the training course back in the day. The Terminator was the only one to receive all the...

    Ya I feel ya N8, and get where you are going. It would look totally gay to see 5.6L on the sticker... For me, the reason I don't like the 5.7 moniker is because it shares nothing at all in common with the old 350's like everyone is used to. They are two totally different designs and nothing...

    Quickest mods to beat LS1!!

    I wondered when somebody would catch that :nonono: I always did hate that marketing ploy that GM used branding the LS1 a 350/5.7. They have NOTHING in common with the old GEN II's or I's less rod bearings and one other small aspect that I can't remember.

    Oh It would make real good power. The 4v heads flow very well indeed. I'm a huge fan of the modular motors personally. I used to have a '96 GT I modded out as well before the Camaro and Frankenstang. In fact, if you search YouTube with MPT70 you will see the same turbo i'm using has been used a...

    Quickest mods to beat LS1!!

    Thanks! Well, the real deciding factor on the Ford/Ford was the $. The motor, is a COMPLETELY stock 5.3L longblock, with a Corvette cam (more ideal characteristics for boost) and dual valve springs to prevent float at high boost. It's well documented the stock LS longblocks will handle upwards...

    Quickest mods to beat LS1!!

    And I didn't thrash it out either. There is not a single visual cue on the body that says what's under the hood either. She's all blue oval outside, and the modifications are reversible. Used a stock Ford K member and 4.6L mounts. Could swap back K's and have a nice home for a 5.0L. Also...

    Quickest mods to beat LS1!!

    Thank you sir! I saved this one from a rather ugly fate, rusting away in a farm field: Ya, it would definately be more at home in it's own shell....but ya just can't beat the Mustang's light body, 8.8" rear and 4 link suspension out back....all factory. And the deciding factor for me...

    Quickest mods to beat LS1!!

    My solution to this problem.....was a little more eccentric.....:D As you can tell i'm still a Mustang freak, but love the dirt cheap LS horsepower. 600 RWHP on a 3050lb Fox Body is a great time to say the least. Liking the new 5.0L though, lots of potential there it looks like...

    '88 TBird Powertrain with turbo/header/intercooler

    Got a friend that has his powertrain for sale. It's an '88 Turbocoupe complete powertrain. Has the T5 manual transmission. Removed from an '88 Turbocoupe and is currently installed in an '85 Mustang. The car ran a best of 14.5@89 with the stock turbo/intercooler. It now has an upgraded Hybrid...

    Just a little update. Got some more tuning done tonight! This video is 6 psi, 10 degrees timing and 10.08:1 AFR. Ultra safe for a 1st burnout video! Car will be making 15 PSI on race gas at the strip. Should be around 700ish hp full tilt. Boost - YouTube

    Lol, ya John I know. But, at least I saved it from becoming a washing machine or melting into the ground in the field. I'm still a Ford guy at heart tho.

    '82 to '89 Dash Swap, need experience

    No sir, you are absolutely correct on the year. When I started this thread, I wasn't aware of the '82-'83 year break, and my car is in fact an '83. :hail2: And, as far as the swap, the entire process from when I pulled the car from a field in Western KS: Till Now: Can be found...

    Thank for the advice guys, I got the swap completed and it really wasn't that hard at all! Idk how well you can see this pic, i'll take more when I get it moved outside shortly: Fresh out of the booth: The Powa: Short video while I was tuning on it: July 24, 2011 12:24...
