    maf translator & MAFT-PRO questions

    get on fullthrottletechdotcom. Talk to turbobob. since your not converting to a different air flow meter system it should be easy enough in AFC mode. Timing control is another thing to consider given your HP goals. Ir works for the 7m ecu but i dont know how the 1j ecu handles that side of...

    Polyurethane bushing any one?

    Subframe spacers seem to be the end all cure for the "float". (add that to your list) Still good to replace the bushings after 20 years imho.

    Concerning gear oil

    ...and start out with NO friction modifier. Do a few figure eights in a parking lot, if its clunking and grabbing, add 1/2 ounce at a time until its operating smoothly.

    ARP Head Bolt Issue. Has anyone else experienced this?

    I would advise to always have the head decked or at the very least have a machine shop check the flatness. Even if using a composite. The framing square you have from home depot isnt quite going to cut it! You can add one to your tool set for a cool $100. Look up FORD and search some tsb's...

    mysterious missing

    I personally wouldnt worry about the missfire until i knew a rod wasnt going to detach itself soon.

    the good thing about leaky brakes

    lol, not quite. I had a seeping brake bleeder that caused the rear caliper to become totally inoperative. Pedal feel slowly softened and took a double pump to get the stopping power needed.

    ARP Head Bolt Issue. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Im curious what most find after 20K+ mile tear downs.. Do studs and bolts constantly work loose over the years of heat cycling?

    Another coolant problem

    the coolant shouldn't "boil" out of the radiator neck. Coolant will slowly rise as the temp increases but there shouldn't be anything exciting going on.

    headgasket question

    Why would the OEM hg only last a while? I wouldnt even consider a MHG with out redoing the block and head surface. If your tune/supporting mods (or lack of) killed an OEM hg at say 400whp and you run the same setup with a MHG, you will still have problems down the road. A MHG or forged...

    Another coolant problem

    drop the power steering belt and and you can slide the pump down enough to get a wrench along the block. From there its 1/4 turn at a time getting the sender off.

    JetJock's Igniter Mod Results

    Its a glitch in the calculations for the timing monitor. Nothing to do with actual timing or problem on the car. Something changed on yours ken, your previous timing curve looked terrible.. not to mention the breaking up you talked about. Glitches aside, what ive seen with the maft pro...

    headgasket question

    If you'd stop with the titanium coatings and gold retainers, I'm sure it would be a bit cheaper. :icon_razz

    maftpro

    you dont want to eliminate fuel cut. tune rich with the afpr and then pull enough fuel out with the maft pro to stay under boost cut. l tune so that fuel cut is 2-3 psi above my "limit".

    headgasket question

    just keep in mind that the weak point was not the hg per say, it was the material it was made out of + the TQ specs used. Kind of a system weakness all around. I guess i should ad the biggest weak link as well, up keep from the owner.

    headgasket question

    I dont think a good quality composite hg is the limiting factor. The tune is. A metal one will give you more leg room if your not on top of air/fuel/timing/boost. Where do these HP to HG numbers come from? Last year it was 350whp, the year before that 300whp.. Is there any data to back...
