  1. 7 Second Build - Red Demon - Boostin Performance Built & Tuned

    Just trying to keep up with all of you fast guys. :thumb:Nah...It's still a budget LS1 for now.
  2. 7 Second Build - Red Demon - Boostin Performance Built & Tuned

    I've been a fan of this car since it ran at the half mile. It'll be interesting to see what it does this year...Especially at KOTS if you're doing it again. We threw an 894" motor on 3 kits in to the flat black Mustang to try and keep up with you... :D(j/k)P.S: I've asked on your...
  3. 1995 10 sec FWD build

    What was your weight on this pass? Still around 2750 like your profile says?
  4. How many people, if anyone, is doing this?

    I would wire in my own aftermarket continuous duty relay, and then use a toggle switch or the ECM output wire to turn that relay on and off. I'd advise against a toggle by itself unless it's rated for the continuous amperage a fuel pump draws.On racecars, I just use an aftermarket switch...
  5. How to make the perfect first start 4g63t 1g

    I wouldn't...Unless you're trying to break-in a brand new ring & pinion or gearset at the same time. That's a different ballgame.Properly seating the rings and valves are crucial. That won't happen properly without RPM and cylinder pressure.To each his own I suppose...I guess just do...
  6. Newbie!(Warning: Pics & Videos of Rustangs)

    Yep, we've been involved in the event since the very first one when it was invite only.I do the electrical work on the flat black mustang...and usually handle a lot of the tuning. I wish we had time to test before the event, but shit happens. It was a blast and Devin is a cool guy...I'm...
  7. Broke!

    A bad weld, too much stress on the joint from heat cycling and weight, poor material quality, etc. More than likely a combination of the aformentioned reasons.
  8. How to make the perfect first start 4g63t 1g

    Jeeze, the tech advice on that first page of the thread is brutal to say the least.You don't baby a performance engine during break-in. Fill it up with a conventional break-in oil(Brad Penn has some great oil) that has a high amount of ZDDP(But be careful, if you have a cat. converter...
  9. 1st DSM and first rally car basket case build

    Ah, I see you're familiar with John V. :D
  10. Newbie!(Warning: Pics & Videos of Rustangs)

    Thanks. I don't intend on doing anything crazy...Just a stock bottom end with an hx40 or something for now. But who knows after that.
  11. 1st DSM and first rally car basket case build

    You should have fun in Open Light. I've been thinking about doing a Group 2 car for a while now, but my scheduling doesn't really allow for it at the moment. Are you on RA or Special Stage? I've got the same username on both of those sites as well.
  12. Newbie!(Warning: Pics & Videos of Rustangs)

    Well, I've been on here for 9 years now, but I haven't posted enough to bust out of the newbie section yet.Anyways, I'm looking to pick up a 1G this winter as a project to keep me occupied until Spring. I'm planning on doing a simple setup that will be able to go low 11s...Something that...
  13. WTB 1g awd tsi - $3000

    Looking for a 1g awd Talon in the chicagoland area for under 3000. Must be in decent shape. 708.287.1998 - Dave
  14. Rear sump oil-pan for RWD conversion?

    Does anyone offer an oil-pan with a rear-sump for longitudinally-mounted 4g63's? For a RWD setup that has an engine crossmember and steering rack.
  15. AWD to RWD thread, official [Merged 10-7]

    Does anyone offer an oil-pan with a rear-sump for longitudinally-mounted 4g63's? For a RWD setup that has an engine crossmember and steering rack.
  16. Air Fuel Ratio Setting

    11:1 at peak torque and leaning out just a bit to 11.5:1 as you get to peak power. For cruising, as close to 14.7:1 as you can get while maintaining smooth driving(no bucking, etc.) 14:1 or so should be a good number to shoot for while cruising.
  17. Noises From Rear-end

    Did you replace or cut the rotors when you did the pads? Did you clean and re-grease the pins that the caliper slides on?Sounds like the brakes are hanging up somewhere.
  18. I Want Louder Exhaust!!!

    It will work. Illinois Emissions testing for 1996+ vehicles is only a scan of the computer. There is no visual inspection and no smog test.
  19. I Want Louder Exhaust!!!

    Find an o2 simulator. That'll make the computer think the o2 is reading normal and it won't throw a code.
  20. Which are best? Stock, High or Low compression pistons?

    It was obviously a joke.
  21. Which are best? Stock, High or Low compression pistons?

    Bump it up to 11.5:1, bolt an 88mm turbo on it, and run it on Methanol.
  22. Lets talk Ebay FMIC. Especially if you have one.

    Have a local fabricator make you a support out of chrome-moly tubing. It can mount in the stock locations, save a bunch of weight, it's still very strong(stronger than the fiberglass stocker), and it won't restrict airflow and free space around the fmic.
  23. Senior Project..Pullin Out All the Stops

    Looks great...All though pictures won't show many small flaws. But looks like it turned out nice.Get some pictures of it in the sun. I love the Pearl White(specifically the pearl white on the mid-late 90s Cadillacs).
  24. how do you clean inside/outside of the projector headlight?

    You should be able to put them in the oven and heat them up. That'll soften the glue and allow you to pop the lens off. Then you can clean/wetsand/buff the inside and outside. Then use black RTV to seal it back shut.
  25. Can I use high temp copper rtv on my thermostat housing

    Yep. I used black RTV on my mustang with no issues for 1.5 years(sold it, it's still not leaking for the new owner). Those cheap paper gaskets that come with most thermostats are junk anyways.
  26. ignition problem

    Sensor clip...As in maybe the sending unit wiring? Or the fuel pump wiring? If it would just crank and not start it sounds like you messed up the pump wiring.As for everything else not working now...Check all the fuses, etc. As well as the battery posts and connections. It's probably...
  27. Anybody know how to seat piston rings?

    It works too good. It won't allow proper seating and wear of the rings as the fresh motor breaks in. Conventional oil allows for the hone of the cylinder to 'file' the rings and get a perfect fit. It has nothing to do with the oils viscosity as previously stated.Don't baby it at all...
  28. 2G Emissions Failure

    The only way I can think of lower octane helping is because it burns/ignites easier. So you get a more complete burn of the fuel and therefor slightly lower emissions.
  29. 3" Exhaust Install / Stock Bolts wont budge!

    Heat them with a Mapp gas torch and see if they'll budge.
  30. compression results

    Just check the intercooler piping/throttle body/intake for oil...It will be obvious.If it was a head-gasket you would have cooling problems and problems with the coolant being pushed out of the overflow bottle.
  31. 2G Emissions Failure

    A few bottles of "HEET" mixed in will help lower emissions too. That was the only my Jeep would pass.
  32. T28 makeing car jerk after boost dose it supose to do this?

    Supras cut fuel if the boost goes too high. He's talking about the fuel cut defender which will prevent it from cutting out like this.What the thread creator was talking about sounds like it's just a poor part-throttle/low-boost tune. Easily fixed by someone who can tune good.
  33. T28 makeing car jerk after boost dose it supose to do this?

    Not ALL turbo cars do that. Just ones that have poorly tuned part-throttle areas.
  34. Carbon Fiber Repair? [Merged 12-7] CF hood

    You can wetsand it if the clear is thick enough.(Use ~2000 grit). It still needs to be buffed after the sanding though because it will be scratched up and hazy...The buff removes the fine scratches.
  35. Street Setup

    Just throw a rod and piston in it and you can make all the power you want. It's not too expensive either, just have a competent machine shop do it.
  36. Best way to Hide a FMIC

    Using some regular paint has no noticable effect on intake temps. As long as it's an efficient core from the get go, it won't lose much efficiency at all by painting the front of it black. I've already seen the effects first hand with a few turbo cars(with much more power than the average...
  37. What's needed in the auto trans for it to hold up to mid-high 10 second passes?

    I don't have one yet. I've got a mustang that's quick, but I want something different. I've always liked dsm's..And since I've been reading into the auto trans' I've wanted to do one even more. My mustang has a c4 auto with a reverse-manual valvebody...So I shift it just like you would a...
  38. What's needed in the auto trans for it to hold up to mid-high 10 second passes?

    Been a member for over 3 years now...But my first post.:)Since I can't ask in the proper forum, I'll ask here: What's needed in the auto trans for it to hold up to mid-high 10 second passes? I was assuming the performance rebuild kit from IPT with the nice clutches and steels, a nice...
