xopher.white posted:No external mods, FRP 4.10 rear axle gears, 93 octane/shift tune. If the economy takes a complete poo poo, no mods for a long time. If it only takes kinda a dump, Eaton M112 blower in the spring. I know someone who has an M112 they would probably let go of for a few hundred. He bought it for his SOHC Mustang because he is an idiot and didn't talk to me first.

Baby Hitler posted:I've never even seen a returnless system except on the Grand Prix and I think the Focus. Returnless is s waste of time and overcomplicated needlessly. There are no drawbacks of a standard return-system, its pump requirements aren't crazy and all the mechanicals have 40 years of performance in tens of millions of cars and nearly every race vehicle running EFI. Hell, I've seen return based carb setups, now thats wacky but has its advantages. Right, but the dude was talking about converting to a returnless system, not from one, which is why I was confused. kimbo305 posted:On SVT Focuses the stock pump and returnless system would start being erratic by 40 lbs/min, which will only give you around 250whp. Past that everybody upgrades to returned. Eh, with the Cobra tank (for Mustangs anyway), Fore fuel hat, bigger fuel line, and triple Ford GT pumps you can reliably support 1200hp. The problem with that setup is that the tank costs $800+ (if you're luck, $1100 is dealer price) and the rest of the kit costs $1200+. $2k+ for a fuel system that can support 1200hp or $1500 for a return fuel system that can support 2500+hp; the choice is pretty obvious but a lot of people like to keep the returnless system to be different.

MikeyTsi posted:If it's what I think it is, it's sort of the reverse of the old hearing trumpets people used to use. Basically, it centers your hearing down to a very focused point so you can find out exactly where a noise is coming from. Kinda. You take any solid object, like a broom handle, screw driver, or a piece of metal and place one end against a part you think a noise is coming from and the other end on your jawbone right next to your ear. This makes it extremely easy to pinpoint where a noise is coming from in a cramped and noisy place like an engine bay. I've used it to listen for whether or not a tapping sound was coming from the rockers or a fuel injector and it works great.

VibrioCholera posted:It is actually a pain to convert a 6 to an 8 much more so than a GT to a Cobra. Engine compartment is completely different along with the rear end. Yeah, the engine and rear end are different, but how does that make it more difficult to convert? You still have to pull out the engine and put another one in its place. I guess you must be talking about having to change the suspension too?

Evilpiggie posted:Paying 3500 for any car with that kind of mileage is deal. What's your beef? Since you used kilometers instead of miles I'm going to assume you live in a country where that was a good deal. In America a 1997 v6 Mustang, regardless of miles, is worth $1500 tops. Make sure to get the compression checked as the head gaskets like to pop in those cars. You should also check the intake manifold for cracks.

OneZeroSix posted:I'm really happy that I was able to find a good car with such a low budget (about 3k); the guy had been getting calls about while I was checking it out and there was even a guy that tried to ninja it from me the morning I went to pick it up, drat thing looks brand new so I feel kinda lucky. You paid $3k for a 2 door 1999 Explorer and fell for the old "someone else is coming over to get it" line? Really? I paid $3500 for a 1994 Explorer 4x4 in 2002 that was in immaculate shape, in Alaska's inflated car market. Why on Earth would you pay so much for an SUV that loses the U part due to its 2 doors?

Method Loser posted:Here's how it sits now: Didn't you just get this thing back from the shop? You just keep modding it so you don't have to take it out to Steele and get embarrassed, don't you? OneZeroSix posted:I don't get what you're trying to say here. The SUV was $1500 below KBB value, and it's in "immaculate" condition, so yeah I got a great loving deal on it. I didn't fall for the "someone else is coming over to get it" line either; I don't even know where you got that idea from. Someone else was literally there when I went to pick it up trying to pay cash for it, and I sat there while he told him I was there to pick it up. I wasn't trying to poo poo on your new vehicle, just how much you paid for it. An 11 year old base model Explorer isn't worth $3k. The Alaska comparison was to show that 8 years ago I purchased a higher end, more desirable, model of the same vehicle in a car market with an already inflated price for just over what you paid 8 years later. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings about your SUV.

Crayvex posted:By the way I get 26 MPH on the express way easy! I average 18 unless I drive completely crazy. 26MPH?! That's insane! Driving those speeds on public roads will get you killed! Any reason you Mopar guys don't go SCT over Diablo? SCT is so much nicer to tune with and has a bunch of parameters (for Mustangs, anyway) that the Diablo just doesn't have access to.

kill me now posted:Because SCT hasn't put much effort into their tuner for these cars yet. Diablo is the tuner of choice on the 3rd gen hemi right now because its the most functional and if there is something you cant tune trough the basic parameters on it you can have a tuner load a CMR tune through it. Makes sense. Jerry W helped found SCT. Jerry was an engineer with Ford and basically designed the 4R70W transmission and had a lot of input on the ECU design. Having Jerry on board really opened up SCT's ability to tune Ford products. Ford still has a pretty close relationship with SCT, even though Jerry left a while back. It's good to see that the competition is finally getting something going with these cars.
