So its my first post in a while, thought I’d make it good. This post is geared more toward the Mech/Auto Engineers out there. I’m currently in school pursuing a Nuclear Engineering Degree (basically a ME degree with a Nuclear twist) and love it. Although, I’ve always wanted to get an...

Recently bought a d1AA 460. Planning on a budget build Turbo 460 Fox. I plan on pulling around 500hp on low boost. Ive already mapped out a big turbo to pull around 3700 (I dont want to be boosting all the time). It will be mounted as an rear mount turbo. The motor will sport a stock crank...

I recently graduated from UTI and learned ALOT. one of the classes was all on performance and how to blueprint an engine. We LITERALLY mic'd every part of a the motor (main journal, bores, cam lobes). The teacher said, when building a new motor, you should mic EVERYTHING and keep it in a...

I got a ticket the other day for "improper exhaust". The cop told me anything other than what came off the factory, is illegal. But thats very wrong. I talked to another cop, and he said as long as it passes emissions, isnt leaking, and exits the back - its legal. but here's where I need help...

guys - for a 93 5.0, i need the thread pitch/size for the big, long ass bolt that bolts the accesories to the heads. i need SOON because the hardware closes and i dont have any other way to work tommorow. I KNOW I POSTED THIS IN 'TECH', BUT IM TRYING TO BETTER MY CHANCES AND I'LL DELETE BOTH...

I have a 93 fox.. and im having a clearance issue with my centercap-->rim (03 cobras), due to the height of the dust cap. Was wondering if anyone knew of a place that made center caps with more depth that could curve this problem. I already have a spacer, and if I go larger, id have to change...

heres the short version of the story: - blew head gasket, pulled heads - hooked everything back up, no spark - i have 12v reference going to coil (MSD blaster) - tested coil, has proper primary/secondary resistance im thinking maybe i missed a ground for some part of the ignition ? i...

I have an RNH 347 that I had JUST got running after almost a year (build was stunted due to lack of funds) of getting together. The problems I ran into were never ending. All ranging from incorrect fly wheel, stuck open injector, hydrolocking, sulfated battery, distributor 180out, incorrect...

im chasing my tail. installed RNH 347. had to work out some firing issues (dizzy 180 out/firing order/messed up MSD box). after doing so, the car ran OK. it missed and would hold idle sometimes - but it ran. I figured it was because the valves need to adjusted. trackheat heads, stock (new)...

im going to make this as short and simple to follow. I installed an RNH 347. Its crank is set for the REGULAR 5.0 firing order (1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8). my stock 93 lx 5.0 computer is running the HO firing order (1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8). So initially, it was running off of 4 cylinders due to the fact that 4...

I just put on 9" 03 Cobras to my 93 fox. They are fine in the back, but the front is what im more concerned about. They arent touching but theyre awfully close.. .010 close. I havent driven it yet, and i KNOW i need to put spacers - but will i blow out the shock by driving it (lateral motion ?)...

im in need of a cowl due to my addition of the TF track heat intake/1" spacer. I heard 4" is a bit much so im thinking about going with a 3". where should I pick mine up.. and how is your field of vision with the 3" ? just as bad as the 4" orrr should i go with a smaller ?

installed new engine, mounted BBK Xpipe to FRPP shorties.. and now I have a problem. The xpipe sits at an angle where its hangers that mount through the trans bracket hold the transmission up so high, the studs on the trans wont go through the trans member. im about to cut those hangers. i hate...

This is how the story goes - Just got done installing engine, tried to crankover last night.. no start. I figured it wouldnt start upon first try, so I checked the essentials. There was plenty of fuel, checked timing - it was off. So i repositioned the distributor (properly, i checked) and...

ive seen it on here, but im not sure where. im deleting smog on my 93 lx 5.0 - and i need to know what size to get. i ordered a 84.5", and either the wrong belt was sent.. or thats not the right size. i searched and found too many numbers to decide on, help me out ?

im putting my engine back together and i KNOW this is a dumb question but im far too tired to think.. so im hoping all of you on the west coast who have a couple hours on me can help a brotha out :] whats this elbow for.. EGR ?

So im putting back together my engine, and ive come across a threaded hole that i KNOW had some sort of sensor in it (off of memory, and a sensor cable leads right down to it). If looking at the engine, it is on the bottom - just to the right of the timing cover - just to the left of the oil...

transmission is dropped. all the wiring is disconected, save for the clutch cable. HOW DO I REMOVE THE CLUTCH CABLE FROM THE BELL HOUSING!? I disconnected it from the clutch fork, but now due to its mushroomed end - it wont come away from the bellhousing. !!!#
