    Supercharger install information

    run a Boost a pump and larger injectors, all you'll need for the fuel system. Install is extremely straight forward, just take your time and keep track of what's being uninstalled. The routing of your oil lines is pretty critical, I had one rubbing on my crank pulley and ate a hole into the...

    Racing ST4 & Need more HP

    I am not too familiar with the regulations of your class, but this is what I would recommend if allowed: aggressive cams, a nice set of ported heads, shorty headers, and some sort of intake to support better airflow. You would easily be able to reach your 30hp goal while retaining reliability...

    Help on specs

    The coils will fit. They are adjustable and may be set to accommodate your current wheels. In my eyes this is your best option. Getting measurements from the forum in order to purchase non-adjustable suspension may result in fitment you're not in love with. The KW's will allow you to make...

    Help on specs

    If you can fork money out for adjustable KW coil overs I would highly recommend those. They offer decent adjustability and good ride quality.

    What brands do you have access to? I believe BC Racing ships to Europe and those will perform well for your needs.

    IMRC Delete Help

    Last inspection of the plugs was performed about 5,000 miles ago.

    IMRC Delete Help

    The plugs broke when I tried to inspect them. Since I was already working on the car, thought it would be a great idea to check the condition on my plugs. 6/8 cracked when removing and they were installed to the proper torque prior. Only thing that I feel could've helped with removal is allowing...

    IMRC Delete Help

    Found the issue, turned out to be cracked porcelain on my brisk plugs... thank you everyone that helped out and commented. I'll also include Dyno results later today for the IMRC delete.

    IMRC Delete Help

    Could the lack of a retune be causing it not to start entirely? Generally I have read that it should start, but this is new to me so I am unsure as to what to expect.

    Car cranks over healthy and all connections are connected.

    IMRC Delete Help

    Just deleted the charge motion system off of my supercharged 3v, but I am having a no start issue. My tuner says the vehicle should start right up, but no luck. All I did was remove the butterfly valves and rods from the charge motion assembly and filled it with quicksteel. Everything looks to...

    New to me 09, idles high, hesitation between shifts.. help

    I would try swapping your throttle body out. I had this issue not too long ago and turned out to the the Idle Air Control Valve, which is located on the throttle body. What you're describing sounds like this issue exactly. Best of luck!

    Weird off idle stumble/miss

    Ensure the terminals are tight and PCM just may need to relearn throttle position. Let it idle for a bit and drive it around. If the issue persists, I would look at diagnosing the issue then.

    2007 Auto Complete Transmission Failure

    If I were in your position, I would just put an auto in. Save your money and the hassle and just bank the money until you're ready for a new vehicle if you plan on sellin. Do routine maintenance on your next transmission and keep her going as long as you can.

    S197 GT owners: What’s it like as a daily? Coming from a New Edge GT

    I have had my car, 2007 GT/CS, from the dealer since 2007 and it has been extremely reliable. Car has 103,000 miles and is bullet proof. I would highly recommend the 5 speed manual for this car if you're looking for something fun to drive around and beat on a bit. Fuel economy isn't the greatest...

    Unintended Acceration

    I've used the SprintBooster before as well as driven with a few cars having it installed. No issues what so ever with the device, but a tune is of coarse a better solution to the throttle response. For the RPM climb, how many miles on the vehicle? Sounds like a throttle issue or potentially...

    Longevity of 4.6 - 61,000 miles - pull plugs now, or wait?

    Ford recommends changing plugs at 100,000 miles. If it were me, I would leave them and replace at 75,000. However, taking them out to get a good idea of engine health isn't a bad idea due to you recently purchasing the vehicle. Also, letting the motor get warm before removing the sparks makes...

    Engine out of time

    I agree with Boss to check for alternator health. A bad diode would throw those codes. And for the sparks, how have you tested to diagnose the spark plugs are not firing?

    signs of a leaky gasket

    A bad gasket would show either in your coolant/oil or be burning on the motor. Pop the hood and let it idle for a bit. If your fluids look good and you don't see any smoke coming from your engine bay I would say you should be fine and its safe to assume its condensation.

    Not starting after headers installation

    I would start with ensuring the starter was installed correctly. Also, there is a ground on the passenger side motor mount, make sure that you reinstalled that ground properly. Should be laying flush and is located on the upper front motor mount bolt if I remember correctly. If that doesn't work...

    Help with tracking down a mild steering wheel shimmy?

    How many miles on the vehicle? Was camber adjusted when you got the alignment and if so how much camber do you have? I would start with inspecting steering related bushings. Kits online available, I am running poly bushings and love them, firm but at the expense of comfort. If I were in your...

    Strange hesitation between idle and 3000 rpm

    I believe they discontinued it, but still be careful and ensure to apply anti size per spark plug manufacturer recommendation. Also, the larger issue at hand is probably your spark gap, but new colder plugs would be a great addition to the power you're making. I just went to the Dyno last week...
