I bought my block from FRPP, it was about 11-1200 bucks, already machined and ready to go, I honestly had the crank balanced to my rotating assembly and stuffed them in the block, no machine work was needed at all, just double checked clearances, put about 100 miles on it and then onto the...
Here ya go, this was when it actually let go, injector duty cycle was actually at 146%, voltage at 11.94, boost at 31 and LC-1 is AFR at 13.6! This was with 3-465’s and ID1300’s. The voltage issue just compounded the problem as I was already on the edge of the 1300’s to start with. As the...
No other solution but to have it sleeved, but I didn’t want to spend that kinda cash, after reviewing the logs, my alternator wasn’t putting out enough voltage and actually made the car run lean as the fuel injectors were at 130% duty cycle and AFR was in the mid to high 12’s. So I’m hoping that...
i originally bought my thrumpr tensioner in 2015, it broke in july of 2018, i was able to get it fixed under warranty for free only because they still had the "lifetime warranty" on thier website that they forgot to take down, so Peter honored it...... but now the warranty has changed to only 90...
It was a factory iron block, stock sleeves just upgraded rotating assembly. It was making close to 1300rwhp when it let go, it pushed coolant out the degas tank and then I also had water in the oil when I got back home. I was running 31-32 psi of boost on the KB 4.0, with some nitrous on top of...
if you want to push hard on the motor, hone it as little as possible. on my last built motor, i cracked a cylinder sleeve around 1300hp. so that is a weak point that you will be making weaker. that block was stock bore also.
i agree with the majority and can confirm that my own triple pump 465 setup and ID1300's were maxed out at the 1200 mark. so for your application with the 3.8, the 1700's are overkill, especially since you want to run pump gas, the idle and low throttle input will suffer with the 1700's. 1300's...
if the above post doesn't get you the results you want, just take out one of the rear wheel speed sensors, very easy to do, right behind the rotor, 10mm bolt holds it in place. just tie it up with a tie strap and you can burn down tires for days.
i never really got a solution since I started this thread, I just lived with it, and it performed great up until I cracked a sleeve late last year, but that was unrelated, LOL. but like i had said before, if i didn't have a boost/vacuum gauge on my car I would have never known the difference.
Spec P-Trim Super Twin Disc Clutch, used for initial dyno runs only, owner decided to go auto, in like new condition, this clutch can fit any Shelby 2010+, if you have a 2011+, you would need a .180 shim from Spec that is $10. Brand new from Spec the clutch pads are .350" thick and if you look...
been meaning to post this and haven't had a chance, just wanted to put out some useful info that I have.
so....... at the beginning of 2014 I swapped to E85 and retuned my car, now I had a KB 2.8, with the KB 75mm Dual Throttle Body along with their Ford GT Style intake system, built MMR...
I have a Metco Aux. Idler pulley set up that I no longer need, it worked excellent for me but won't work with my new 4.0 KB:( so I no longer need it. It was nice that it allowed me to beable to swap pulleys without the need to swap belts which is a huge pain in the ass, I only needed to swap...
Kenne Bell 2.8 kit for sale, this is off my 07 GT500, I upgraded blowers, it is a complete kit minus the BAP, Throttle Body, and mafia. I will include the adaptor plate I have that lets you use your stock throttle body if you like. I have two bypass valves to use with or with out cams, I will...
Some of you may have already seen this on FB, but figured I would include it here too!
Finally made my goal on the Lil 2.8! I am pretty sure this is the first 2.8 blower to make 1000+ on boost alone, I then added a 100 shot for kicks and made some serious steam. Mods are in my sig!
so tore the motor down and replaced oil pump gears, head gaskets, deleted the EGR (kept the SIP sensor), KB 168 mm Oval TB and put in JDM Super Stock Camshafts.
The Problem:
the car idles great, drives great, and is making power (haven't dynode yet). but my only issue is that now at idle...
