Edelbrock E-Force Troubleshooting Manual

[ForYourOwnGood]

Is it a mechanical gauge? If so, they are sensitive to bumps, drops, and NVH, it can throw off the internals and cause it to read wrong. Thats why I prefer electric ones, they self calibrate to ambient pressure every start up. If yours is electric maybe the sensor got damaged, some gauges include little filters you can add to the boost hose to prevent debris and small particulates from getting into the sensor

It is mechanical but the vacuum side reads spot on. Its an Autometer Cobalt.

Run to auto zone or harbor freight and buy a cheapo boost gauge and see if it reads the same or something different

I got mine at harbor freight. I ended up buying the discs, but they don’t give you any leverage. I had to smack it with a box end while my neighbor held the line in place.

Perfect. Need a fuel line removal tool as well.

What step in the instructions will need this tool?

Its in there somewhere. Right before you remove the manifold. I got one that worked at Advance Auto, its a blue 3/8 tool but had much thicker walls than the other ones I had. Worked like a charm.

So I bored out the bypass pill they sent to about .035" and we'll see what happens.

The EB kit was on AM’s “best seller” list this morning. Pretty cool that it’s becoming mainstream.

 

[ForYourOwnGood]

Definitely an excellent kit.

Delivery! Thanks to @SoCalTim for the quick shipment and killer deal.

Everything looks good and inventory went well with a small hardware discrepancy in "bag #1".

Gotta get things set up over the next couple days when I have some time. Planning on install Monday.

Can't wait!

Before you do anything make sure you e-mail the calibration team with all your info including weather or not your S/C has the brass fitting. You will also want to set up your sct device so you'll be ready when they e-mail the tune to you. Sorry if you already did these steps but I over looked this and had to put off my install a couple of weeks until I had another block of time freed up.

Just a quick note because I don’t think it was ever mentioned anywhere in this entire thread… You WILL have extra hardware when you’re finished. Just so you don’t freak out, haha.

yep, I didn't use any of the injector clips bc I ran DW95's instead of their Lu47s. Also have a lot of other left over things here and there. Put them all away case in my random bolts bin

Definitely an excellent kit.

It better be....I’m ditching my Whipple for this

Why did you choose to do that? Just curious.

Disappointment mainly.
The Whipple makes me giggle.
The Edelbrock will give me sore ribs with it’s ridiculous power delivery in the lower rev range.

I've never driven a Whipple car but even my measly 2300 kit hits really hard down low. I got a smoking deal on my kit otherwise I probably would have stayed stock motor for a while longer.
