    Grinding/rubbing noise coming from my rear end~~

    I definately don't have stock power, its 365rwhp with a Vortech and a bunch of other crap... the noise only happens when I'm braking and coming to a stop, like under 10mph. And I never notice it when the car is first going, it seems after I drive it for about 20-30 minutes, then the noise will...

    Grinding/rubbing noise coming from my rear end~~

    It doesnt make any sound really at all at high speeds or turning at slow speeds, it happens when I'm going straight mainly or just pulling into my garage slowly... The rear end has 4.10 gears in it with about 15K miles on them, 35K total miles on the car with about 10 track passes only. Is...

    Grinding/rubbing noise coming from my rear end~~

    Hey guys, My car (2004 GT, 5-speed) is making a weird grinding/rubbing noise which sounds like its coming from the rear end. It only happens when I'm slowing down from like 10mph-0 and sometimes when I put it in reverse and move backwards slowly. It just makes a grunt for about 1-2 seconds...

    I've been reading alot, and seems like alot of guys put in a catch can to alleviate all of the oil problems. Anyone have any pictures of this installed and what lines it is supposed to go through? And a link where I can buy one from? :nice:

    Vortech Supercharged guys here.... Having Oil problems still...

    Thanks for the replies guys, feel alot more confident. Really never would have expected oil to be getting in there, just gotta watch it and make sure it doesnt drip down onto my MAF and air filter

    Vortech Supercharged guys here.... Having Oil problems still...

    No kidding!? Weird, my oil separators on both lines really don't collect anything... is it still possible its just blowing by the separators completely? is there any way oil may be coming in through the bypass valve?:shrug:

    Vortech Supercharged guys here.... Having Oil problems still...

    Rewind, 2 months ago, My head unit was sent back to Vortech to be rebuilt because the front seal was shot. Last night, I was cleaning under the hood and noticed the rubber elbow between the powerpipe-and-Vortech head unit came loose on the bottom… so I went to tighten the clamp and noticed...

    How To: Change Your Cluster to Blue L.E.D.s/Incandescent bulbs for $8

    Overall, do you think its worth it for me to cut my losses and get speedhut gauges or try to find a Mach cluster like yours? I can't find ANY Mach/Bullitt clusters for a decent price at all... sucks.

    How To: Change Your Cluster to Blue L.E.D.s/Incandescent bulbs for $8

    2004 GT here Well, I tried it tonight... all the excitement had me. Talk about a MAJOR disappointment. Would have been great to match the Boost gauge :( I just left it tore apart, gonna go put the stock bulbs back in tomrrow or something... just not looking forward...

    HELP! Vortech'd 04 GT - Oil getting in Powerpipe, car barely running....

    My blower doesn't sound nearly as bad as what yours is, but i do have those same exact issues. I put a breather on my drivers side valve cover, and a oil separator on the passenger side just this weekend. No oil in either, so i'm assuming that oil is back in the powerpipe and i didnt' even his...

    HELP! Vortech'd 04 GT - Oil getting in Powerpipe, car barely running....

    Thanks guys for all the replies. Come to think of it, those pics of the oil cap and pcv were mainly after a 15-20 minute ride to AutoZone and back... Ill keep an eye on my coolant and make sure it is ok. Guess it looks like the blower is going to have to come off :( Public Transportation...

    HELP! Vortech'd 04 GT - Oil getting in Powerpipe, car barely running....

    Ill have to check the coolant tonight, didn't even look actually. If it is low, what exactly does that mean when the oil is mixing with the coolant... is the motor going to be f'd? These pictures are the second go-around of the oil in the powerpipe area, I didn't have pictures of the first...

    HELP! Vortech'd 04 GT - Oil getting in Powerpipe, car barely running....

    I change the oil every 3K miles, so thats not the problem. Car has 26K miles on it only as well. Blower leaking is the last thing I wanted to hear :( Thanks for all the help everyone...

    HELP! Vortech'd 04 GT - Oil getting in Powerpipe, car barely running....

    Is there any way possible that it may just be extra oil that got inside the head unit that is coming out now? I'm just trying to figure out any other ways that this may not require taking the head unit out, never expected this to happen on a new piece on my daily driver :(

    HELP! Vortech'd 04 GT - Oil getting in Powerpipe, car barely running....

    Are you pretty positive that the seal is shot up front there??? That isn't something that I could fix myself is it?

    HELP! Vortech'd 04 GT - Oil getting in Powerpipe, car barely running....

    I'm using 5w-20 Dino Oil still... Haven't done anything with Synthetic. Shouldn't the separators catch some of it though? Both of them are completely empty. Do you ever get as much oil in there as I have shown in that picture? You should have seen it before I cleaned it, it was a huge...

    HELP! Vortech'd 04 GT - Oil getting in Powerpipe, car barely running....

    Basic background, In August, me and some friends installed a Vortech V2-SQ Supercharger on my 2004 GT. The past month or so, I've had nothing but problems with it. It has been getting tons of oil inside the powerpipe and airfilter/MAF. So just last week, cleaned the MAF completely, sprayed...
