Project Large Caliber - Cam's NEW 2009 Bullitt Build Thread

[GallopingFord]

No drag radials, just leave the stock bullitt wheels and tires... Smoke show! Go old school lol.

Probably gonna widenend them to accommodate 285 in the rear. Don't need a DR on these I'll get a purty set of drag wheels for fun later.

..... if you like to live Dangerously. Worked out not so well for Skwerl (sorry Skwerl).

My middle name is Danger.

Speed sensor rubbing the axle behind the dust shield? Any issues with traction control or antilock braking?

Could be, but I had this issue before the swap and I thought it went away before I could start hearing myself again with the exhaust installed.

I may take the brake pads off and look at the slider.

Just got back from our body shop, should be dropping it off next week.

Sound is superb!!!

 

[GallopingFord]

^Haha, I agree.^ I can't keep my foot out of it.

Yesterday, I took it to Cars and Coffee and it got a couple good reactions. Many people thought it was stock. My mom finally was released from the hospital too last week and it was her birthday yesterday so I drove over to MD to go see her. She was really surprised when I pulled up in the car since she hasn't seen it in almost 2 years. Lol.

Wait until winter to start fucking with the header install so you can just enjoy the car instead of constantly wrenching on it. I'm just sayin...

 

[GallopingFord]

That's the plan... I really don't want to the headers and tune it until I put on a larger blower. I like having something I can look forward too.

I have a bad squeak still so I'm either thinking it is the accessory belt going out or the alternator about to take a shit. I would look closer at it tomorrow, but I'm using my day off to go test drive something I've had my eye on.

I also need some MM Camber plates. The GT500 plates are making so much fucking noise when I turn.

 

[Gabe]

That squeak, is it anything like this?

(a new belt fixed it)

 

[GallopingFord]

I can take a video in a minute. It goes away when it the engine warms up, but then it gets loud when the RPM's go up/engine load. Obviously I can't hear it over the s/c whine though.

 

[19COBRA93]

I was running a 90mm idler in place of the stock idler, and the bearing in it had a lot of drag, which caused my belt to squeak/squeal when it was cold. I put the stock idler on, and the noise went away.

If your noise is the belt, my guess is either a pulley alignment issue, or pulley bearing issue.

 

[GallopingFord]

It started happening after I installed the upper aux idler and a new gates belt. The first 30-40 miles it didn't do shit and then one day I started it and it was loud. Ever since it does this.

 

[GallopingFord]

Gabe I stand corrected. I put wd40 on the upper idler and it went away while idling. But if I rev or put a load on it, it comes back instantly.

How do I prevent this in future?

Thanks. I'm over thinking everything now. Lol

 

[skwerl]

Either replace the upper idler or replace the bearing in the upper idler.

 

[GallopingFord]

going to see if I can replace it.

 

[GallopingFord]

Billet Pro shop is sending out a replacement pulley.

Car is at body shop. Needs a lot of touch up and am leaning towards repainting the entire car.
