Re: Blower High Only - Resistor Visually Good

Check it with a meter, you'll most likely find the resistor/fuse is open.

Re: It's not supposed to glow like this, is it?

10 or 13 degrees is not going to make much of a difference, certainly not with the amount of glow coming off this exhaust manifold. Whatever is going on, timing, plugged exhaust or other, 3 degrees is not going to make this type of difference. I've set mine at 8, 10 and 12, I stay conservative on th...

Re: It's not supposed to glow like this, is it?

A little glow is ok, however the photo you posted, if that is your 2.3T, is quite a bit more than a little glow. As you mentioned, if its down on power, one thing you can do to try and eliminate the exhaust is to disconnect it. I am not sure if you have stock exhaust, or something else. But, discon...

Re: It's not supposed to glow like this, is it?

Hello folks, So, after putting that mustang radiator in my car last month, I've been driving the car around a bit, and I've run into some more issues. Notably, the car seems rather down on power, and I discovered after a brief highway hill climb at about 80 mph that the engine is putting a lot of h...

Re: Disappearing coolant is normal - really?

A used all aluminum 32v 4.6 in an Aviator seemed to be losing fluid after a recent used car purchase and a bottle of Bars Leak solved the problem. Six months later, still no issues. Cheers I'd recommend against bar's leak in a turbo engine, unless you have the turbo coolant line disconnected. Runni...

Re: Any operators running the Quaife 7.5 LSD?

Few and far between, Quaife probably cost more than I've spent on all 5 of my XR's combined.

Re: 1989 XR4Ti 5sp blk on blk resto project

So it's $1000 for the car, please elaborate on the $811 as of this month? The extra $811 back registration tax thing only applies if it goes to someone else in the state of California. Ok, thats what I was thinking...just that it doesn't mention California, or any location of the car in the ad.

Re: Oil Separator, PCV, boost solenoid routing

Hey guys, long-time listener first-time caller here so please forgive my formatting ignorance. In regards to the bcs being bypassed or replaced with a MBC above, can I simply unplug bcs and swap with mbc? Or do I need to communicate my intent to the ECU in some way? Thank you for your help You guys...
