My New Coupe!

[12second5.0]

Need to get some good rear control arms and shocks so that rear end can hook!

It has it all. He needs to let loose of some air in those tires and practice a couple more times. He has 50/50 in da back with airbags on the springs plus upper and lower control arms and welded subframe connectors. Hes good to go.

What arms?

[Blown01snake]

Yeah I'm thinking i need a driver mod more than anything! It's been a while since I've ran at a track and it showed in my times. I'll get the hang of it and get my 60' down and I think I should be ok. It pulls like a Mad Man in third and just as hard in fourth.

[egomez24]

The brand slips my mind but they don't have urethane rubbers on them them so they are a little noisy but should get the job done.

Lower the tire pressure as Emilio said. Low rpm launch is the only way on drag radials. I've done 1.70's with my crappy urethane bbk arms and drag radials.

got a new camera here's a few photos of the car and dyno sheet as well as best to date Time Slip

[Blown01snake]

oops won't let me upload pics right now...

[12second5.0]

send me the pics,Frankie. I'll load them for you.

[Blown01snake]

I got it figured out I think!

[egomez24]

Two things Frankie, first of all wash that thing. lol. Hey the second , thats not oil by the supercharger bracket is it? Make sure its not that... Thats all.

[Blown01snake]

So I was driving to Biff's and my car started acting a bit funny. I would accelerate and it would fall on it's face. I could roll on the throttle and it would do a little better. If I just hit it WOT it would instantly cut out. I didn't really have time to mess with it yet, but I did pull out the computer and it was hotter than I would have expected it to be. I also killed the car by moving the harness, so I'm thinking maybe that has something to do with it. I noticed there were two wires spliced into the harness, I have no Idea where they go yet, but the car is an 87 that has been converted to ma, so maybe that has something to do with it..... UGH!

[03 R Code]

Your car is weaksauce....

I'd sell it to a honkey for $10. But that's just me.

[ANRmotorsports]

Those 2 wires more then likely were the pigtails for the MAF plug if they did not replace the complete harness with a MAF. We just did a real MAF harness in a 87 coupe due to the fact that pigtail kept giving problems/signal.

[psiperformance]

His problem was the old balancer had spun on the ruber so we couldnt set base timeing to tune it.

As for your problem now
Odds are you got a lose conection there in that mass air conversion bro that would easily cause a issue.. could be a number of things

I say this till im blue in the face to people

" Tune doesn't change unless you make a change !"

if it was running right then started runing bad its not tune its something has changed or gone away such as a fuel pump distirbutor etc etc.



I personaly think you were maxing your mass air but its close with 42 pounders 500 rwhp should be doable all else considered IF you have a decent fuel pump and clean filter.

if your 100 percent sure you have a healthy 255 and a clean filter its most likely the mass air is pegging.

I have a new break out box so i can tell now if the mass air is pegging on the fox body 100 percent for sure.

[Blown01snake]

Thanks Dean. I was in no way putting any blame on you or the tune. I'm pretty sure it is something like an electrical connection somewhere. I know shit happens with these cars.... that's why I have 2.... Anyhow I just wish i had a schematic or something to follow to be sure I'm getting the right signals in the right places. Being as how this is a SD car converted to MA then having the mass air meter relocated for the blower I'm sure there is something somewhere I can do to remedy this situation until I decide which way I want to go with this car.

[Blown01snake]

I soldered all of the connections that had to do with the mass-air and the car seemed fine. I drove it around for about 20 minutes at different loads and all seemed well, so I'm hoping that was it!

[psiperformance]

glad to hear it bro.

Sounds good Frankie! Glad it's fixed........

[Blown01snake]

YEA for me! haha anyways it's my birthday monday so at least i'll have the coupe running so I can take it out this weekend hopefully!

[Forged331]

Good looking notch bro. I gotta get off my ass and get mine to a dyno....you've re-motivated me.

[Blown01snake]

here's a few shots of what I've been up to....

[Wiked]

wtf
The last time I saw that car it did not look like that...
lol

[4.6stanger]

what gives?? Gettin ready for paint or 96-04 dash converion!!??? That would be SWEET!!

[Blown01snake]

just lightenin' the load. You'd be surprised at how much "extra" weight these cars carry

[BigJnSA]

you got some nerve to take on all those wires!

and i like that upper intake. i dont think ive ever seen one like that before.

Yeah well we'll see if it even starts when I'm done... hehe. The intake is a Saleen/ Vortech. I wanted to swap it out for a Trick Flow R, but I hear they flow about the same. It's a pretty rare/ old school intake. It's got a spot designated to be drilled for extra injectors on the plenum, before the abundance of 97888758# injectors and fancy fuel systems

Yeah hang onto that intake. I always liked them. Of course you could probably sell it for more than you'd buy for a box style trick flow intake.

That Coupe Looks familiar, where have I seen it before, Frankie? :Oh I think I remember where I seen it before.
Lightening the weight, Tas Loco!!!!!!!!!!!!!:Eyecrazy:

[jstang6969]

Thats a lot of freaking wires. Your Nuts! Good Luck

[BlackSunshine01]

thats too many wires for me.

[Blown01snake]

I'm getting there. It's just hard to find time to get it the zone. lol. I'll start working on it, then something will come up. This weekend I'll update!

[Blown01snake]

So I worked on the car a little bit...

I started organizing every wire that goes into my computer, trying to get that ready to be re-harnessed
I've covered every hole in my firewall left by the HVAC system removal
I have the Engine harness, as well as 99% of all of the wiring from the firewall forward in position and loomed.
I have the everything mounted under the fenders and all of my wiring is also tucked away back there, no more clutter under the hood!
I have my new electric fan set up mounted and wired.
I have the e-fan controller mounted on a removable plate where the air silencer went once upon a time.
My AFM power pipe is now installed. It was kinda tricky due to the fact that my MAF is relocated to the draw through set-up as opposed to the blow through that ProCharger had intended. For that matter the Poewer Pipe was also not intended to have extra hardware on the end of it. I'm not saying that it's pretty, but it was definitely a challenge without resorting to chopping up the new pipe.
The hardest part of this project is deciding where everything should go. I've probably configured everything more than 3 times. I still have lots of work to do, but I think the hard part is over with..... anyways photos aren't uploading I'll try again tomorrow. I'm too hungry to wait right now

[Blown01snake]
