Hi all, long time no see. Long story short my car build went a little further than I was expecting and now have a goal of 700+ hp .
I am going to be running a mechanical fuel pump and looking for advice!I planned on following this diagram of how the lines are ran below. I contacted the person...
I’ve read some people run without it . Just makes me nervous. I’ll be installing a temp gauge . I basically just drive the car around and will be going auto when I put my built motor in. I usually only take it out to beat on it… was just concerned it might need a cooler. Thanks for the input...
Okay so I have been doing a ton of reading and still am not coming up with the answers I’m looking for. I got a Mighty Max FFWD OFH and would like to figure out how to run a external oil cooler, since I cannot seem to get my hands on a 90 OFH (MD132912).The biggest problem I’ve seen is that...
Alright gurus I will be posting this with a little more info this time hoping for a answer with the Newley provided information, I tried posting on tuners but no hits. So I’m still trying to figure out the right headgasket size.
My head is reading about
5.190”
And my pistons sit about 5-7...
Hello, so today I have a question that I find really complicated and I’m sure you gurus won’t.
so I’m trying to figure out what headgasket thickness I will need to keep from hitting valves and pistons here’s what I got going on .
the car will be on GSC S3 cams , or kelford 288/280. If two cam...
So I messed up, basically have a brand new oem case and was turning the gears slow with a drill when I felt a small bind. Pulled it back apart and noticed I didn’t have the stub shaft tight so the gear had play in it . Causing it to score the housing. Should I be worried about this? I assume I...
Hello everyone sorry for the slow response I got no notifications that people commented. Yes it is extremely loud in person. Loud enough tk make the knock sensor freak out. Going to have to just dig into it and find out myself guys. Sorry the video isn’t the best, the phone has a hard time...
So I have this very strange noise that refuses to go away. It has been doing this since I rebuilt the motor 300 miles ago. It follows rpm and gets louder from rpm. It sounds like a very very fast rattle. Compression came back
1. 120
2. 120
3. 120
4. 120It’s so bad it’s causing terrible false...
did a leak down and comp test . If I had bent valves it would leak down / have a significant comp difference in one cylinder. Even checked it out with a bore scope. Even did a couple pulls. I think I’ve been touched by a angel. Crank jumped by like 2 teeth. I know I wasn’t supposed to rip on it...
Update. Compression came back 120psi on all cylinders and did not leak down very fast at all if any. I did the wrist pin knock check by undoing a plug wire while the car is running. Nothing changed. My next guess is a collapsed lifter or 16😂
Hi all. Started my new long block and it has been having a problem idling . It honestly runs like shit. So come to find out it skipped one or two teeth. But it ran decent enough so I didn’t think much of it I thought it was just in the tune. Drove it to get gas and everything . Come home and see...
Hi all. So I’ve been told time and time again that I should have went with a different piston and my manley platinum series pistons are too weak for my goals of 700ish. They’re 9:0.1 with the .210 wrist pin. Just posting this to see if anyone has made good power on these pistons? I called manley...
Yeah not sure what the problem with NPR was, but they refunded me so we’re good. No clue how they sent the wrong ones but hey I got it figured out so that’s all that matters
UPDATE:
For anyone wondering the car is done. I believe this car is haunted as the last owner is deceased and there is some stuff that should not be happening here as in the rod bearings being DESTROYED but the crank being spotless, or the head trying to fight and getting stuck on its head...
