    Serious Problem..? Car Being Towed As I Write This..

    It's possible I'm running rich because we installed an aeromotive fuel pressure regulator a couple of months ago and it's probably not sending the correct pressure.

    Update, the shop called me this morning and said that it started right up this morning and there were no crazy symptoms like there were last night.. they are going to do a full lookover the engine and find out if anything with the H/C/I was done incorrectly. they were able to tell me that the...

    Serious Problem..? Car Being Towed As I Write This..

    Unfortunately the shop that did the work is too far away. I moved. And I don't trust the guy, he was always sketchy. I'm having it dropped off at a speed shop I looked up.

    Serious Problem..? Car Being Towed As I Write This..

    The cars temperature gauge always seems to just barely go past the first or second line from the bottom at any given time driving the car. Not sure if it's ever worked properly. There shouldnt be a temperature issue though it has the Edelbrock water pump upgrade and a brand new mishimoto radiator.

    Honestly this was my first time doing anything like this. I was more of the helper / watcher than the prime worker

    Finished My Cobra Project. Pics + Vids

    A lot of it boils down to what your goals are. For me, I loved the look of the cobra intake. Found it at a junkyard from Connecticut and had it shipped to me. I went with the aluminum gt40 heads off ebay and f cam because those three are all decent power gain and not super tricky to put...

    Finished My Cobra Project. Pics + Vids

    So far, the idle is a little bit jumpy but she'll equalize over the next couple of days. It's 100% driveable, sounds awesome and feels great. big difference from stock.

    Running stock MAF and 19lb "multi spray" injectors. We couldn't get her to stop stalling with the 24lb injector/ MAF setup, but I blame the injectors that I got. Going to try a different brand later and try tuning

    Finished My Cobra Project. Pics + Vids

    After much anticipation and aggravation, after deciding to help with the install of my Heads, Intake and Cam, I am finally finished. Had problems with the 24LB injectors and 24LB MAF, so I will have to install those later when I get a tune to go with it and maybe a blower. lol. Anyway here's the...

    Thanks for the link. I'm not familiar with these forums too much. And I had the whole system checked for vacuum leaks and vapor tested

    Stalling Issues After Hci Work

    So I'm still trying to figure out why she won't idle right.. cobra intake, f303 cam and aluminum heads with 24# injectors and 24# maf. Haven't installed the better fuel pump yet. Every time I start it, the idle either jumps around a lot or it stalls. I've adjusted the TPS a bunch but I'm out of...

    Progress Pics / Motor Teardown

    Also, I'm not sure about the tune yet. My mechanic friend who was with me was in awe looking at the inside of the stock heads and intake condition. kept referring to the engine as a "virgin" and a "steal", which I'd have to agree with, considering i paid 3,900 for the vehicle. I was actually...

    I really don't know what all that junk was about, but I pretty much just ignored most of it.

    Progress Pics / Motor Teardown

    All right.. I started working on my H/C/I swap with my friend. Took off the heads and intake today to see what the small block looked like. Wasnt sure what I'd find but it looks pretty good to me, but I don't know much

    As far as that parts list, he's getting me all the receipts of these parts he's buying and when it's all said and done he'll adjust the price of the labor to make up from the estimate for the remaining parts needed to finish the job.
