It looks like 2016-2019 CTS-V Calipers have the same mounting positions as the regular CTS. If thats so then thats a cheaper alternative (even though still pricey.. $500 per caliper) for a 6 piston BBK. Hopefully soon a cheap used V caliper will pop up on eBay so we can experiment. Those...
Sounds good
Fyi, the width of the Wilwood 14” rotors is 1.25” according to their website, you can always hit up FTBR to get more accurate dimensions if that helps you.
Alright I'm getting ready to replace my worn out clutch and decided I should upgrade the input shaft. I came across the Fidanza DFX complete 26 spline package from Last Call Racing. The kit includes :
Fidanza Pressure Plate
Fidanza 26 Spline DFX Disk
Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum 8 Bolt...
Hey SVTP
Well my new motor is broken in and ready for the tune. I am considering torco since I ruled out E85 isn't practical for me and I have a torco dealer not 10 mins away from me. My setup is in my sig. With the 2.93 upper 4lb lower combo I should be around 15 psi. I am just looking for...
Hey SVTP
I have my longblock back from the machine shop and now it is time to start prepping the motor for the install.
From the rear of the motor I know on both heads there is a sensor that needs to be bolted on. On the passenger head the rear heater tube needs to be on and the head cooling...
So I need to know if I F'd up or what but I had my valve covers powder coated a while back ago, now the actual powder coating job came out great except for that inside the valve covers I have a thin layer of very fine sand, which I assume is from the sand blasting. I tried cleaning it off with...
Anyone here deleted their factory oil cooler and run a remote one? Need a new one since the old one most likely has metal shavings in it but obviously can't find a new one due to them being discontinued.
Thanks!
Got a call from the machine shop today saying my lifters are no good and need to be replaced. My choices are going with the dealer oe replacements which he got quoted on for like $900 which I find ridiculous, trick flow, or the cheaper route the melling which he told me was around $500. Which...
I took my motor to a local machine shop and I ended up having problems with them and don't trust them building my motor anymore. I started looking up some different shops and found QMP and Superior, which one is a better choice for building modular motors?
I ended up going with my gut feeling and I'm taking my disassembled motor from a machine shop I have been having trouble with and ultimately just don't trust building my motor anymore. I am supplying the parts to the new shop and they take care of the machining and assembly. This is the quote I...
Alright SVTP, now with the machine shop issue out of the way is on to picking the parts my self and I need some serious help being a first timer on this.
The block has already been bored .20 over and my heads, crank, and rods are good to go. I've been doing some research and have come up with...
I decided to take my ticking motor to this local machine shop to get it torn down and inspected for $100 to see what went wrong, what parts broke. They told me it would take a couple of weeks since they are backed up, I was fine with it and waited about 3 weeks in till I finally decided to call...
I'm currently rebuilding my shortblock and was wondering if I would run into any problems running notched/fly cut pistons with stock heads, reason I want to run these pistons is because I eventually want to build the heads and get aggressive cams later down the road. Thanks!
Alright well before I even got to do my "New Cobra Owner" introduction thread, I believe I have possibly spun a rod bearing, 3 Days into owning my new Termi. :cryying::mj: I know I know...
Here is the story:
Late Saturday night I took it out for a spin and gave it a few hard runs (did not pass...
