Quoted From Tasogare:
I’ve seen way too many people blow their engines apart with a turbo than anything else. XD Turbos are good for track use or extending power to a low-displacement engine – but nothing beats the sound of a good N/A intake, some headers and a good exhaust. It’s pure heaven. Keep it in tune and you’re sitting pretty.
Then they probably didn’t tune it right its all in the tune or they just got greedy with the boost.
I agree for the most part the 79-93 foxbody is what put ford back on the map as far as high performance goes. That being said I like the 89-93 by that time they were all mass air flow equipped and fuel injected. I like fuel injection though.

I’m all for it.
You need to also check fuel flow along with psi. Also have any access to a scanner with live data? (Not just a code reader)

I have seen a video on realfixesrealfast , Eric has a link to that web site. Well he shows a car that had a problem with the map sensor vacuum hose. It was so old that when looking at it with the engine off looked fine but when you start the engine it would collapse, see if yours is soft. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfSq5GaTIrQ

Quoted From ETCGAdministrator:
Great idea! I will run it past the “Boss”, but I think that would be awsome to have a section like that. Heck, I can think of 10 things sitting in my garage that I would love to sell!
Me too! The wife says our garage looks like a machine shop and I need to get rid of some stuff lol. Lots of sbf stuff for sale pm me if interested.
I would say for a starter box get as big of a bottom box as possible that your budget will allow. Any brand will do as long as it is of good quality as is roller ballbaring. The reason I say get a bottom box is that you can also use the top as kind of a work bench.
Just bottom it out then 1/2 turn up its still at zero
My favorites are prob my metric gear wrenches,wobble ended stubby gear wrenches,pedal pumper,any air tools they make things so much easier!
Isn’t that what I just said in fewer words? No trying to be a A hole or anything just wondering if what I posted didn’t make any sense and what you thought I was trying to say.
Quoted From KLFER:
I did read it wrong thought FI was FYI and yes i was a little confused! Now i wish i read it right so i didn’t have to type all that thats 5 minutes i will never get back lol. live and learn right haha.
I figured that’s what happened lol personally I’m a nitrous guy myself.
Notice my sig did ya? Lol yeah they are a blast…when they run! they remind me of a 2 stroke do the job great till they quit. Good looking car though.
Quoted From KLFER:
I did see that. And yes there are fun I have perfected my method in building them. Most problems are the owners, they don’t understand them or how they work. It is a 4 stroke engine just does all 4 stokes in 1 revolution, which is why it make so much power for being so small.
That and they have 1/2 the friction of a piston driven engine. Just not my cup of tea. I do like the way they look though.
