Like the title says, Currently running a 69mm w/o any belt slip issues. Not looking to swap to a higher rib count. Just curious if anyone has had success using a 63mm 6 rib
Heads were torqued to 100ftlbs per arp instructions with arp lube on threads & bottom side of nut / top of washer. Engine is back in should be running soon. That gasket def had more than 1000 miles. I had a few engine builders look at them they all said the same thing. Hopefully it’ll go 8.99 Now.
No wouldn’t think so. I’m thinking they reused the gasket. The material missing wasn’t stuck to the block. Stock headgasket isn’t recommended for this boost / power level.
Just got the heads back, Resurfaced & pressure tested. Machine shop also said gaskets looked used. Not sure on power it traps 151+ mph 4000lb race weight.
Noticed coolant dripping into #5 cylinder when engine was cold. The shortblock is a forged RPG unit, headstuds, stock headgaskets. The shop that installed the new shortblock claimed they used new headgaskets, engine had 1k miles and around 20 1/4 mile passes. Heads were removed from the...
Jeez! My line pressure on very very light throttle shifts is almost 150psi 147 to be exact. I think the max stock value is 150psi.. The 1-2 shift is violent the rest are ok just firm. I’m going to have the car retuned this spring
I’m probably just being paranoid. I’ve read some other post where people are seeing pretty high temps with no issues. My 1-2 shift part throttle is super aggressive to the point where I dread the shift. I’m gonna have the tuner pull back some line pressure to soften it up. Did you experience...
Fluid level is perfect checked a couple times at temperature. Maybe the Heat extractor is blocking flow to the trans cooler. Climbed to 210 once then dropped around 205-207. When stopped it cools down pretty quick to 197 or so.
Installed my freshly built 6r80 (GPZ clutches, intermediate shaft, billet planetary, 2C converter) I noticed the trans temperature around 208-210 degrees while on the freeway. I never really paid much attention to the trans temperature before, Now im kinda paranoid after spending so much $$. I...
Thanks for the pics. When yours broke did you have 1st-3rd gear & lose 4th 5th 6th gear? I was told when that shaft breaks you will only have 1st gear?
Took the car to the local track today. On the 3-4 shift the car slowed way down. I was able to limp the car home it currently has 1st 2nd 3rd gear. 4th 5th & 6th are non existent. Could it be the E clutch drum?? Intermediate shaft?
What’s done internally on your transmission
I saw on a vmp video where they switched to a 137R throttle body & gained 50whp with a 79mm pulley. I hadn’t heard much on people running the 163R. Are you running a ice tank reservoir?
Nice pass! I have a similar combo gen3r 69mm pulley, e85 stock converter my best is 9.75 @145 full weight premium. Have you considered the 163R throttle body? I was told I’d see 60+whp over the twin 69mm
There is diminished value. I got a quote from the dealer doing the labor & the dealership I purchased the car from. Both offered a significant less amount than they would have due to the engine being replaced & the vehicle having that blemish on the vehicle history report. I think best thing...
Not really what I wanted my first post on here to be about.. But here it goes.
2018 mustang gt a10. I've owned the car for approximately 2 months, The car currently has 900 miles. I noticed the famed typewriter tick around 800 miles. Decided to take the car into the dealer, was told there is...
