do you notice any timing pulled? or any min knock counts? my stock IC had more max knock counts but no min knock count when changing

not at all.... i had a stock intercooler for a while to gauge it and for 1 or 2 pulls every 30min made no difference then my MAP intercooler. granted the MAP cooled down a lot fast and didnt heat up as quickly, the stock is good for daily with pulls every now and then. If you want to look for...

okay how about we end this. The ecoboost will NEVER be on the same level as a force induction 5.0 but it doesnt mean it isnt a good engine. unfortunately the 2.3 is the first turbo engine most people on the forum have ever had so a lot of "stupid" questions get asked but the doesnt mean it...

its not that odd when the 2.7tt becomes competition with the 5.0 and taking away sales. The way I see it, in 2017 timeframe the new line up will be standard V6, ecoboost with some tweeks from the focus RS to up the power slightly the GT will be the 2.7TT

Doesnt seem like its talked about much at all here but has anyone deleted the balance shaft? 18lb of rotating mass weight reduction and from what ive seen has 10hp/tq gains across the board. not sure how badly it is needed for 4cyl engines and would love to get learned up on this if anyone has...

not sure on how the full can is routed but shouldnt be anything horrible. check to see if there are any oil splatters around the disconnection. could just be getting small amount of unfiltered air and ecu correction. either way pull the code to double check

"and hopefully it's UNMOLESTED." I started cracking up after I read that and looked at your avatar lmao

cool thank you! spent all day going to AZ's and homedepot's with no luck but boomba has exactly it. should post this to the thread so part numbers can be found by others.

yes, totally agree. i was a machinist before i enlisted and its not hard at all to make a header (lack of) or compensate coolant lines. its all a cash grab with stats and numbers not supporting the forum or people. granted they need to make money but saying there are no better ways or anything...

seeing as this has become a vendor parade, yes you can make a diy kit. look at fox body mustangs, 240sx's, 2jz anything, etc... kits are convenience but its not hard to get your own made. just follow the basic steps... 1. pick your turbo 2. buy/make/have a machine shop make a flange for...

please read the post. i asked what check valve is being used, not the solution. i just got off the thread a couple hours ago and posted looking for a check valve people have used aka a part number or where to find. if i should post there let me know

hey just wanted to get some info for what people are using for a check valve when gutting the pcv valve. car started smoking on stock downpipe (muffler/res delete) and want to get is resolve before i install my downpipe. so basically two questions really.. what check valve are you guys using for...

Food for thought, the whole car is moving so the oil will slush around more or less regardless of mounted or floating. Just keep up with emptying the can and there will be no issues. I wouldn't stress on weight placed on the fittings though.

yes and no. only reason to go with the dual UPR is for the check valve where other catch cans don't have one. A gutted pvc requires a check valve. With other brands you can just splice a cheap one in somewhere on the imput line but for less mechanically inclined or shear simplicity you just go...

UPR dual if you want to gut the PVC valve and just set it and forget it because it comes with a check valve. otherwise its a brand preference.

honest truth is you can make one cheap just look up catch can diy on google. the problem with diy ones and ebay is that you need to make a mounting solution. it may not be pretty or "name brand" but it does the same thing. that said i own a mishimoto because i liked the clean mounting and...

easily super car like. power to weight ratio would be insane like a modern version of an AC Cobra.

I don't remember of the top of my head but if you go to the bottem of the first screen click ok (my vehicle?), then settings then oil life monitor. it will show you XX% oil life. hold okay and it will reset.

I feel like the fact that the blonde is using an adjustable wrench on a rubber hose is bothering me more than it should...

downpipes are always the biggest gains in turbo exhaust setups but if you look at any catback system dynos the gains are minimal and shift the powerband slightly higher up. to me I didn't see any point in dropping over $1000 for a catback to get 10hp and a different exhaust note. I just wanted...
