Edelbrock E-Force Troubleshooting Manual

Yeah, I purchased it new back in May with 0 down, and I've been offered more than what I paid for it. Crazy that one can flip a brand new car after just a few months and make a profit. So much for depreciation as soon as you drive it off the lot.

Yea but this is limited time only..... was thinking about doing the same thing but I love that my car is paid off

So guys. I'm likely going to find out where the ceiling of this kit is going to be in wheel HP. It will require me to go 8 rib, but since I'm having an engine built, this is probably going to the be last rounds of upgrades for me.

Right now I'm determining what compression ratio to run... Lots of people say leave it stock, but I'm thinking 10.5:1 or 11:1 or 12:1. Those are my 3 options.

@illtal, where are you findijg 10.5/1 Gen3 pistons? What fuel are you running?

I'm having a predator block with gen 3 heads made ... So I'm not sure what the builder is going to order. He did tell me that 10.5:1 would be special order.

Fuels would be E-85, GT260,GT260+, pump 93 & methanol. Obviously, to max out E-85 will be the mostly likely fuel used.

I'm seriously considering going centri... Might be easier to hit a good number with less boost.

IMHO: If you’re going with big boost you should use a lower compression and if things are going well it will allow you to add in timing . Assuming it will be a street vehicle On pump gas with an occasional can of high-octane additive the lower compression will give you plenty of leeway to be safe no matter what the situation is .

I use methanol for added safety. It's much cheaper than any fuel additive unless you can get your hands on toulene.

Lower compression can run more boost on any fuel, which would make up for the power loss. Our supercharger is rated for 20+ pounds of boost. Watching the Steeda video, suggests that a 2.5" pulley on a stock motor is 22psi (8 rib). Which is more than enough to get 1000 wheel on 12:1 CR engine.

Trust me. Safety margin e is something that is taken into account here. Maximum power can be achieved many ways. For me I would just toss more boost at it.

I am also having some 9k+ rpm valve springs installed which would make it easier for me make that kinda of power on a centri. Plus the drops of a 3.55 mt82-d4 is kinda desirable for a 8000 rpm shift. The drop will be above 5k rpm in the bottom 3 gears. I'll be getting a calimer build on this as well.

For anyone near Richmond, VA or willing to drive.

weird that got posted here lol

Quick question. I meant to ask a while ago, and was just reminded by a few threads about the intercooler pumps.

Odd characteristic. Sometimes when I shut the car off, the intercooler pump stays on for a couple minutes as it’s supposed to. And then sometimes when I shut the car off, the pump turns off right away and doesn’t stay on.

Inconsistent I guess. It’s never been an issue but I’m not sure why it stays on sometimes and at other times it turns off.

Any ideas? Anyone experience this?

Forgot to add... I’m looking for a 2.90 Griptec 6 rib pulley if anyone has one they want to sell...

Thanks!

I'm not sure. I did notice the longer I drive it the longer the pump stays on.
Or if I flog it and then shut down quick the pump stays on longer

 

[Torinate]

Interesting. Wonder if it’s reading a certain temperature and if over that it stays on. If under that it turns off? Any idea?

not sure how it's done. I also have an aftermarket tune so ....

 

[Torinate]

No exactly. I’m tuned by Lund.

I don’t believe there’s any sensors in that closed system. But if you’re experiencing longer run times at certain times and I’m experiencing run times and then no run times, it’s inconsistent and sporadic. Higher coolant temp such as after running it hard and you’re experiencing a longer run time makes sense.

Obviously a very small sample size lol.

Has anyone else here noticed inconsistent intercooler run times after shutting the car off?

Does yours stay on for a couple minutes EVERY TIME? Does it turn off when you turn the car off EVERY TIME? Or is somewhere in the middle lol.

Thanks for your info!!

I've noticed mine to be inconsistent. I always just assumed it was outdoor temp related because it seems to stay on longer when it's warmer. It would make sense since it's wired to the egr.
