I hate hydraulic lifters so much that I am tossing them and putting in some solid crower rollers in my 351w. I am running a stock 5.0 HO cam right now.. just wondering what would be a good place for starting lash on the intake and exhaust? This is a turbo engine, so the exhaust side will be...

My TT 351w just bent the #6 intake pushrod.. and I do mean bent.. As in the roller rocker was no longer pushing the valve on the roller tip; the valve was being opened by the aluminum beside the roller! I think I cought it pretty early on. My setup is this: 1.7 rockers, comp cams pushrods...

Anyone know how deep the Tore-ass (Taurus) radiator fans are? Looking for a junkyard solution to my radiator fan search. Another thread referenced the Taurus fans in regards to moving a lot of air. I'm a bit tight on room, but I might can fit it in. Got my twin turbo 351w running a few months...

I've had a lot of fun with my 260+ HP 2.3 turbo engine, but it is time to move on to bigger and badder projects. Just picked up a 351w engine to drop in in place of the 2.3. 7 out of the 8 pistons are cracked and it needs to be bored. I'm trying to figure out the compression ratio. This will be...

I am helping my friend tune his Mustang... I can burn chips on the Moates.net J3 adapters, so we were wanting to put his MAF transfer curve in the tune. His maf is a Granatelli and the model on it says just "75." I suppose that's a 75mm.. anyway, does anyone have a transfer curve for this MAF?

Today I finally got around to tearing apart my old N/A block. I had to determine if i was good enough to keep, or take it to the recycler. Well, it didn't take me long to decide it was not worth keeping around. Hehe.. it ain't the prettiest thing.. http://www.binaryweb.com/88lx/temp/ (Today I...

Just got back from the dyno a little bit ago. It was a Mustang brand dyno, so the numbers might be a bit low. They sound low to me for what all I'm running. All runs were at 22psi and 50psi base fuel pressure. Run 1 - 212 rwhp @ 4100 / 319 ft/tq @ 3300 - Nice flat HP curve; cam retarded 2...

:banana: :banana: :banana: Finally got some videos of my Stang! 1 is straight line acceleration and the other 2 are playing a bit on some twisties near school. Links are at the top of the page at www.binaryweb.com/88lx/ More videos are planned to come in the next few weeks, including some 1/8th...

Today I converted to a blow through VAM setup! I had been thinking about doing this for a few months, but never gave it any serious thought. A week or so ago there was a long thread about it on TuboFord. After reading that thread, I decided I had to give it a try. The hardest part was getting...

Does the coolant temp sender in the side of the block (a few inches under the oil sender) send a signal to the computer, or is that strictly for the gauge?

This past week I built a little contraption that allowed me to pressure test my intercooler pipes and my intercooler with the air compressor. I found 6 pinhole leaks in my pipes and 1 pinhole leak in the intercooler. I got all those welded shut, which needless to say helped spool time. Now I get...

After figuring out some problems and getting more fuel (see update in talk), I turned the boost up. 2nd gear builds boost to 22psi and stays there rock solid for the whole duration of the gear. No boost creep or spikes. So, then I shift to 3rd. It holds rock solid at only 20psi, no creep or...

Last week, the AMP light came on, and it has been on and off over the last week of driving. Seems that if I get going for a while without stopping it goes off. Around town, the light comes back on for most of the time. My volt gauge is showing a notch over the middle line. Today I checked the...
