Chasing Superchager Belt Issues/Engine Knock/Clutch problems

[Scott]

AFCO looks right at home. Best of luck with the break in tune!

How many miles before a tune is safe to be done??

well, the way I break in is a couple heat cycles then change oil. then a couple wot pulls to 4k under load in 3rd gear then increase the wot pulls in 1000 rpm increments all under load. after I reach target rpm then i hard decel immediately after each wot pull

Rings break in quick, never any issues doing them that way. Will run a little warm initially but that is a good sign. On wot pulls I am sure to do hard decel to blow out chips etc from the rings cutting in..

I tune right after that. Whole cycle takes a day minus any fine tuning of course.. And I run the piss out of it lol.. I break it in like I intend to drive it

ZERO OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS...ZERO BREAK-IN PROBLEMS

Nobody has ever tried the DUI coils.

The sultans of spark! Heh.

The issue with OEM coils is flakability where one fails and you wind up buying an entire set after pawning your kids clothes/crib/motorcycle.

GOT PROBLEMS!! NEED ADVICE PLEASE

ok so been driving the mustang got a hair over 100 miles on her now..

spuratically the car when moving from a stop "underload" it will sound like a diesel and barely run and then all of a sudden go away. sounds like its coming from the passenger side again. and other times when i come to a stop the car fill fall on its sleep and sound like a diesel again and barely run.

today i stop by the PO box drop off and a puff of smoke came from the hood and sounds like a damn diesel loud barely move under its own power... so i costed off to the side. turned it off. looked under the car and under the hood all was good.

started back up and purred like a kitten.


got to work about 10 miles away and it did it again and could hardly get it into a parking spot on flat ground.

turned it off and started it again and purred like a kitten then went to diesel mode right away and finally a CEL came up.
i dont have my scanner but ill check when i get home..
FML

my engine builder says it sounds like the cam phaser?
how hard is it to replace that?
dont i need a new torque to yield bolt or does ARP make one?

DAMN IT!

thanks for anyone help

 

[skwerl]

Sounds like a cam phaser. Check with Freedom Racing for a good price on individual phasers. Yes, you will need a new bolt as well as a wedge tool for the timing chain. Once you get the valve cover off it's about a 10 minute job.

 

[crownaviation]

ughh.. yeah sounds typical of a phaser or vct solenoid. I would pop the oil cap off and let it run to see if you can hear anything.

What have you done with the vct? Locked, limiters or what? I a have seen plenty of vct solenoids fail. Those are simple to replace and pretty cheap.

What codes it throw?

 

[GT500KR]

after talking to local mustangers and engine builder... we have decided to replace the VVT solenoid. due to the fact that it goes back to normal after restarting the engine.
autozone $131...
rockauto $60 shipped!!!

still at work. working 7-12s nights
hopefully she gets me hope this morning
running codes ASAP this am

stock cams and original phasers/gears
new VVT solenoids

 

[GT500KR]

im ready for a FU&$*&ING LSx

 

[GT500KR]

She got me home. 37 miles.
Ran great till I got to my subdivision and started rattling a bit.
My Diablo wouldn't read my CEL
But my other scanner did



don't think that's the problem
Pretty sure it's the VVT

Read this and it makes sense http://forums.themustangsource.com/f669/variable-cam-timing-solenoid-failed-444457/

 

[crownaviation]

Yes the solenoid is fucked. They are cheap and I would replace them both with genuine Ford parts. They are $42 ea and you should remove the valve covers but don't "have to"

Think p0340 is the passenger side. You may also get a p0000
