copmagnet Posted July 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 the mach blew out the passenger side exhaust manifold gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copmagnet Posted July 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Exhaust gaskets overnighted to my house, and i decided to pick up some header wrap since I have to pull the turbo kit off. Its probably not the best stuff ever (DEI is fucking expensive!) But it will have to do for now. Do you guys know of anyone else on the forum with a forward facing on3 kit? I'm trying to determine if I can pull the manifolds without dropping the K member, as I only have about 10 hours to pick the car up, and fix it. Luckily I have a lift so that should expedite things.

Lanter Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I have the same kit and am almost certain you can pull the headers with the k member in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that's perfect! After fighting with UPS on my overnight delivery item i have everything to fix it tomorrow . long story short. 1. Payed $65 for overnight shipping from Tusca to get gaskets by today to fix tomorrow. 2. Ups delivered at 1pm. 3. Responsible adult at work, can't sign for package. 4. Immediately get email delivery attempt was made. 5. Not knowing package to be signed for, called ups pissed. 6. Ups says I can drive to their hub (1.5 hours in the opposite direction of my car) to pick up packages. 7. Explain situation to ups. 8. Rep gets ahold of driver and explains the situation. 9. Ups driver waited until 7pm for me to get home and receive package. 10. Hunter is happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copmagnet Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Against all odds, i actually got the header gaskets swapped today, and I even wrapped all the hotside and downside with header wrap. I'm so unbelievably excited to have accomplished that today. It took roughly 13 hours straight working on the car to get it done. Down side, my fuel level sender is apparently stuck, because when I start the car. The needle sweeps as it should, but then it goes all the way to E, low fuel light comes on. Buy when I went to a gas station to fill it, 2.5 gallons was overflowing the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copmagnet Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 14 degrees total timing. I start making boost at 3200, and have full boost by 3700. It drives like factory, and it pulls like a fucking freight train. Are you supposed to be scared of your car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copmagnet Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Started installing my gauges today. This turned out to be alot more difficult than originally anticipated. I have the wideband sensor and pressure sender installed on the motor and hotside. The wires are ran through the firewall on the passenger side and through the back of the dash. I have the old pillar out but ran into clearance issues with the new one and all the wires. I picked up a nifty little cutting bit for my dremel and cut out a slightly bigger hole. Unfortunately I ran out of time. So next weekend I should be able to finish that install up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copmagnet Posted August 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Well, today I finally have my first series issue. Earlier today I made a 2-4 gear wot pull (i was passing a semi, and why not?) And all was good. Later that night retiring home I kinda got on it a tiny bit in third gear, and at 3900-4k, the car falls right on its face. If I dont hit it at wot it will pass 4k, wot and its like I'm letting off. I can hear the bov open when this happens so I dont think it's that. Ill be checking the plugs to see of I POSSIBLY fouled one since I am slightly rich and conservative on the tune side. For tye record, I'm freaking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanter Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 The BOV shouldn't open until the intake manifold is under vacuum. Opening while at WOT will certainly make it feel like it's falling on its face since a lot of your boost is escaping the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copmagnet Posted August 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 The bov isn't opening causing the issue. It's opening when the motor stutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabres Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) Are you sure that isn't just assembly lube? The excess will wash out of the motor with the oil. I've had moly assembly lube on my drain plug the first 2-3 oil changes every time I've built the motor.

copmagnet Posted December 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 I was told it's normal for break in, since I only have 3k on it. So I changed the oil and I'll drain it at 500miles and check again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanter Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Have the Mach out any this year? My oil was glittery for the first couple oil changes, actually need to get it changed soon and see if it's glitter free yet or not. I've read some engines during break in can take up to 5000 miles before it stops seating everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copmagnet Posted November 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 sorry I've been gone for so long. Military life and such. Car has been running fine since aside from my breathers blowing oil all over the motor and smoking out. Didn't do it before I deployed so I'll be doing a leak down and compression test tomorrow to make sure motor is healthy. Still runs like a raped ape 😂😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
