    Timing components for build

    Since you're ditching VCT, I would use the 2v iron tensioners personally.

    Timing components for build

    From my understanding, this is to eliminate the ratcheting function, as the ratcheting is problematic with VCT (the cam advances/retards, creating temporary slack). If you're locking out VCT, I do not believe this is required, as it is going to be static, same as a 2v. Melling makes iron...

    2006 procharger 4.6

    Glad you're squared away! I'm personally not a fan of the 3v ProCharger kits for a multitude of reasons. If you're going Centri, Paxton/Vortech all of the way. You can also try some hairspray on the inside of the coupler if it gives you problems again in addition to those good ol T-bolt clamps...

    2006 procharger 4.6

    Pictures and details would definitely help. What throttle body? How much boost? What kind of clamps?

    Two piece cam phaser lockout placement

    It looks like he cut a standard set of lockouts himself to "degree" the cams. I run Trick Flow adjustable crank gears on my 3v with BBR lockouts (locked out to degree then removed the lockouts to keep VCT). It may be worthwhile to invest in a set of adjustable gears and just use standard...

    Broken camshaft driverside

    This has me worrying about potential problems with my Bullets.. If by some chance it isn't a cam core issue and your head guy has repaired everything properly with ideal cam journal diameters and alignment, that leaves me wondering what else could be going on. Those PAC springs are probably a...

    Kenne bell tune

    Another vouch for Lito. Tuning aside, he's a great resource and interesting guy. I'm thankful to know him, not just because he tunes my car. His tuning has always been top notch in my experiences. He's the sole reason I didn't invest in HP tuners and teach myself to tune after experiences with...

    E-force supercharger Maintenance

    I remove the throttle body, spray it down with CRC TB cleaner, then give it a light scrub with a soft bristle toothbrush while holding the blades open gently, then spray it clean. Let it dry, then reinstall.

    FRPS and CPS Pinging Signals

    I ran these cams with Comp 113 springs and an M122 while SBE for several months and they were great even with a 3650, 3.31s, and 27.3" tire. City traffic wasn't a problem. The only time it was iffy was creeping through a parking deck. I'm really impressed with them. They're Cushman blower cams...

    FRPS and CPS Pinging Signals

    Hey Jeremy, engine builder was supposed to have locked the phasers with BBR lockouts, degreed to 116° ICL with Trick Flow crank gears (116.5° is as close as the gears got), then removed the lockouts to retain VCT. All new Ford timing components: phasers, chains, guides, tensioners.

    FRPS and CPS Pinging Signals

    I'm avoiding idle time until I break the engine in. I may just have to drive it like it is to seat the rings then go back to problem solving.

    FRPS and CPS Pinging Signals

    I think duty cycle drops down to high .1X or .20 once RPM drops. I'll have to go back and check the drive down the driveway and back log. Mine is running just under 6 volts actual at the pump at cold start (1200-1300). I haven't logged fuel temperature. Haven't verified that both pumps are...

    FRPS and CPS Pinging Signals

    May also be worth noting that my AEM oil pressure gauge is T'd in with the factory oil sending unit by the oil filter. It is pinging out at 100psi on cold start with 5W-20 in case it is mechanical. Boundary oil pump, Saleen 302 rotating assembly, ARP hardware, Cushman cams degreed to 116.5* ICL...

    FRPS and CPS Pinging Signals

    Duty cycle stays pretty stable at ~0.21/42% and fuel rail pressure is pinging between nothing and 39psi at cold start idle. That's what's weird. Fuel pump voltage, flow rate, and duty cycle look good, but FRPS and cam position values are wack. They're pinging back and forth between maximum and...

    FRPS and CPS Pinging Signals

    Here is the most recent log showing actual voltage at fuel pump, pump voltage from table, duty cycle, and RPM, very short start and idle with mechanical fuel gauge hooked up. Let me know if you think it would be beneficial to pull up other logs and dig into other values.

    FRPS and CPS Pinging Signals

    I primarily suspected fuel pump(s) as well since they're a new change, and I've logged duty cycle, RPM, fuel pump voltage, and battery voltage without finding any major abnormality. I hooked up a mechanical fuel pressure guage (cheapo from a box store) T'd into the fuel line just before the...

    Kennebell 2.6L not starting after install

    I ran .032" at 10psi for years with a blower, and for S&Gs, I threw in HT0s gapped to .042" and still saw no sign of spark blow out in datalogs. I see no reason for going down to .028" at 7-10psi. You want as much gap as you can get and still have reliable spark. The only reason we neck down the...

    FRPS and CPS Pinging Signals

    Following the Stroker/6060/TVS swap, I am having an issue with fuel rail pressure pinging between 0 and 39psi and cam position pinging between 0 degrees and 40 degrees. The wiring harness is unchanged from before the engine swap. Grounds over the passenger side headlight, passenger engine mount...

    Reman 4-piston Brembos on 05-14 GT

    Mods, why was this moved from the 4.6 section to general chit chat? It's application specific and obviously tech related.

    Reman 4-piston Brembos on 05-14 GT

    About a year and a half ago, I threw on some Napa GT500 brakes onto my 07 GT. They were a direct swap, and even easier to deal with than the factory GT calipers. They carry a lifetime warranty, were significantly less than big brake kits, and so far, have held up to 17k miles of street use, two...

    Replacement Alternator

    Another thing to note is if you're running a supercharger that relocates the alternator next to the blower snout such as the DOB and Roush is that you may need to trim the plastic guard around the terminal. All I had to do to put a Denso on my 07 with a DOB kit was hog out the terminal and trim...

    pros and cons on removing cats

    I'm also supercharged. I've been catless with JBA long tubes, offroad H, and Borla Touring for years. I'm not in an emissions state, so it isn't an issue for me, but it would be if I was and was ever stopped. It has a smell, nothing major, but its noticeable. It is MUCH louder without cats than...
