thank you for the clarification. i think when i do eventually supercharge it i am going to go without the OPGs and crank sprocket. also, the cat likely failed due to the oil that was leaking from the valve guide. revving it out should not cause cat issues on its own
i was thinking about asking the tech to quote me the cost of install for the billet crank sprocket and oil pump gear while he's down there, but i decided against it. saves me $500 and a headache of yelling at Boundary if for some reason something goes wrong with the parts. once im out of...
supercharging has no lag. because its directly driven by the engine, the boost and power are instant. those other questions, i dont know. i've never owned a supercharged vehicle
old cat was taken off and cylinder 7 was darker than the rest. turns out one of the exhaust valve stems is leaking oil. tech is saying new cylinder head. cat was also heat damaged. definitely not what i was expecting or hoping for
i would recommend getting a Whipple instead of a Procharger. the Whipple has tunes out now, doesnt vary boost depending on engine speed, and assuming the 2024 kit will be the same price as the 2023 kit, the stage 1 Whipple with a 3yr/36k mile warranty makes as much power as a stage 2 Procharger...
that title feels like the author is trying to get diehard Ford people to attack others for what they drive, like the diehard Tesla people are infamous for
cams are not worth it unless you are looking to get every single bit of power you possibly can and are willing to throw everything else, including your money, out the window. Whipple stage 2 already brings you to 875hp on 91 or 93. e85 and a smaller pulley will make that even more once you can...
i know this thread is old, but if there is other lights on like the BRAKE light, traction control, and all that, this is likely an ABS module issue. there is an SSM out for this where the solution is to re-program the ABS module, and it will be covered by the 3yr/36k mile bumper to bumper...
i've done some autocross events, and i have some fun with it. definitely not torturing it to the point where the cats melt, though. its my daily driver, but i think i drive like most other Mustang drivers do
we replaced the downstream O2 monitor and no dice, still reading funny. tech mentioned that there was a powder on the sensor when he took it out. next step is to replace the cat. so glad this is all under warranty because this is how its shaping up so far
if when the tech bore scopes the cat...
those marker lights are really how Ford should've done it from factory. love the look of them, it doesnt look like some cheap $5 aliexpress specials like the factory ones with the only 3 SMD chips
the Ford Performance one comes as a set of both, and has a very OEM look to it. otherwise, i think most all oil catch cans work about as well as the others
i have the brembos too, and 19" diam with 11" width and +24mm offset works perfect. plenty of caliper clearance and you can run up to 325/30R19, but the clearance to the strut will be close, but wont hit. i do recommend running at most 315 width, though, as 325 will cause some minor rubbing at...
this damage will 100% fall onto the driver for causing it. the dealer has no reason not to fix this, as none of it is going to come out of their pocket, unless for some reason the person checking in those vehicles told the driver not to code it. i expect there to be at least an 03-04-6 (front...
