    Trouble installing power steering high pressure line to pump

    Long story short I have been doing a lot of maintenance on my car including replacing the entire power steering system (rack failed and I decided to do the whole system). Among those things, I installed a new power steering pump and I am currently trying to attach my new high pressure line to...

    Are the inner and outer belt tensioners the same?

    I am really sorry if this is a duplicate, but I have spent quite some time searching here and on google for information on this and haven't had any luck. My power steering system started leaking and my pump started whining this winter, and the other day I found that all of my power steering...

    Has anyone used KW coilers for drag racing? Can vikings be used for back roads?

    So I am dead set on keeping my IRS, and I am planning on installing FTBR bushings soon, but I am trying to figure out the rest of the suspension. My car will be a street/strip car that handles better than stock on the twisty back roads, the drag strip and the occasional track visit. Has anyone...

    Who makes 1" drop motor mounts for our cars?

    So I have seen people mention getting drop motor mounts for proper hood clearance over 100 times, and yet I have never been able to find even 1 set of drop motor mounts listed online for our cars. I have seen it for older and newer cars, but I can't for the life of my find "drop motor mounts"...

    Alternative to Ford Racing Ring and Pinion Gears for 8.8 IRS? What do you guys run?

    Background: So long story short the other day I got really bad wheel hop and made a nice sized hole in my rear diff cover. It was late at night so I drove the car (without gear oil :bash:) around 7 minutes to a friends house where I left the car overnight. The next day I had the car towed to...

    I'm so sick of my garbage tranny, who offers the best replacement trans?

    So my transmission is garbage. If I get on it and go through 1,2,3 and want to shift into 6th above 4k rpms I have to double clutch or let the revs drop or it will grind and not go into 6th. Every time I backup my car wants to pop out of reverse. I also have a 4th gear grind occasionally...

    SCT iTSX iPhone/Android tuner issues (0xff) Won't tune car

    So basically my iTSX refuses to flash a tune on my car. When I first got the tuner, the canned tune worked no problem. Took the car to get dyno tuned and the custom tune wouldn't flash. After hours of trying every reset available, my tuner was able to flash the tune with his son's android phone...

    Am I missing something here? Coilover spring rate question

    Okay so I have been searching and have found plenty of threads on this and many other forums, and all the research has just confused me even more. I would like to get the UPR tubular K member with coilover kit. Now their recommendations for different setups are <=200. Many of the threads I...

    Enkei RPF1 17" wheel fitment question

    I want to get a 2nd set of wheels and tires for some drag radials and I figured if I'm going to buy a 2nd set of wheels, I should buy some lighter ones to aid in performance. On my search I went through drag racing wheels, realized they were too delicate for the street, forged wheels which are...

    The Flat Plane Crank explained

    So several magazines have mentioned the possibility of a "Flat Plane Crank" which most people don't know very much about, and some recognize it as the style of V8 used by Ferrari and in the new Lotus, but that's pretty much all they know. Well Im going to try and explain how it works, the...

    ITBs not performing?

    Is it just me or should this car be making more power? Individual Throttle Bodies are supposed to produce gains across the entire board but this car makes roughly the same power as a car with the standard BOSS302 intake and the same mods (long tubes, exhaust, tune), maybe even less. And they...

    What struts are people running withe the UPR coil-over kit?

    I am looking at getting a UPR chromoly K-member kit with coil-overs and I think I'm going to ditch my stock struts while I'm at it. What do you guys recommend? I'm kinda leaning towards the QA1 adjustable struts, but I'm not even sure if they are compatible? Who is running aftermarket struts...

    Got a 2.8 pulley installed and dyno'd my car today

    I maxed out my MAF and my fuel system, so I'm a bit down on power above 5k rpms. My tuner tried his best and put a lot of work into it but just couldn't do much more without upgrading the MAF. I think I'll wait till I get ported or a TS to upgrade those. Was over 100 degrees in the shop so that...

    Will the 8100 rpm rev limit ever be over-ruled?

    I am not completely sure how the 8100 rpm rev limit is implemented by the copperhead system and can't find anything useful on the internet. Does someone more knowledgeable on the ecu think an exploit will be found to increase the rev limit or is it hard-coded in, and an aftermarket ecu would be...

    So I'm thinking about putting in a tubular K-member when I go long tubes. Now sometime in the future I plan on getting a Kb 2.8LC supercharger. Should I get lowered motor mounts on the K or will the supercharger fit with standard motor mounts? Thanks

    How tall of a sub box can you fit in the trunk?

    I was measuring and with the mach 460 stuff in the way it didn't seem like the box I wanted to get could fit. I plan on removing all of the mach amps and speakers anyway, would I be able to get a bunch of height back by removing the pod holding the amps in? The subwoofer enclosure I like is...

    2012 2013 suspension upgrade compatibility

    So I was looking around Vans site and I notice the Griggs suspension package that drops an outstanding 280 lbs from underneath the car. Now this would be an incredible performance gain Id imagine, but the 2013 car has a redesigned suspension, but how much of it is redesigned? For instance, how...
