Cleaned the radiator and condenser. Did a couple test fits and trimmed the fan shroud for blower clearance. Changed oil, refilled coolant, PS fluid. Changed my existing tune to speed density (still running original injectors) to keep variables at a minimum for now. One thing that surprised...

Well I was kinda under the weather for part of last week so didn't get a whole lot done. New reman ps pump appears to be fine, we'll see I guess. I swapped the hose ends on the PS line and it fit fine, no pulley clearance issue. Ground down the fitting a little to be safe, have tons of space...

I hope it freaked some people out to think that he was back...

welcome

Yeah, the instructions tell you to use that end to make sure it clears and since it doesn't I just want to make sure I'm not doing something else wrong before I press on. I have a feeling that will be the fix though, it would be pretty easy to just grind down the end of the fitting a wee bit...

Made some decent progress this weekend. Went relatively smooth, a few unexpected bumps. New balancer came in, but my install tool wasn't long enough. FYI the Autozone rental tool "long reach harmonic balancer install" works great, even with the 8 rib IW balancer. Drilled the pan, drilled the...

Got the pulley off, auto hobby shop on base + press ftw. Apparently there is a backorder / A&A is out of stock of the v3s (self contained lube) due to holiday sale demands. They offered to change to the V2 (engine oil fed) and I accepted. The V2 Ti apparently has the "heavy duty" bearing and...

Well, Ryobi has let me down. I could not remove the crank bolt with it. But it is supposed to be torqued to 240 lb-ft and likely that red loctite was used. Ryobi and I weren't talking after the incident last night, but I think we can still be friends. 1/2" ratchet with entire floor jack...

I absolutely love it. Ever since I got it, I don't think I've used my air impact once. On the ST I had to change axles, which required removing the hub axle nuts... came off easily. I will be using it remove the crank pulley bolt here soon, we'll see how it goes but I'm expecting no drama...

Like I said in the first post, the kit hasn’t even shipped yet (should soon), but I am getting antsy so I started the teardown last night. Going to be taking my time and hopefully enjoy it (most of the time at least). I know it’s going to be hard to stop once the hardware is here though. First...

EB is more or less correct, just technically the driver side pump drives the fuel transfer as well. The driver side tank contains the fuel pump. Within that same bucket, there is a 'venturi' pump which constantly siphons fuel from the passenger side to driver side. So at 1/2 tank on the gauge...

Why yes....the car is due for an air intake filter replacement and this is all they had in stock. They sell a variety of external pump kits, but I went a different route and put in a Lingenfelter Walbro 450 in tank pump.

Well, my move is complete and settled in to where I can get back into the build. Went to local mustang dyno to get a good baseline run to account for different dyno and elevation change. I don't have the plot, but it made 350whp uncorrected or 405 SAE lmao. Lost about 60-70 hp from the...

Affirmative

Well, the slow turbo just got slower. Went from sea level / 93 octane to 4300ft elevation / 91 octane. Lost about 30hp according to vdyno and confirmed by datalogs (airflow mass). I guess it's time to go BT for a second time, lol.

rumor is Enki will come back on the condition of Redline being unbanned

that's pretty neat. Really the biggest thing holding me back from doing a valve cleaning has been coming up with some sort of contraption to hook everything up. I need to look into the feasibility of this working on a FoST.

Maybe his car currently looks like a Do Not Enter sign.
