What I'm curious about is really what I'll have to look out for in terms of sensors being confused by the whole setup. For instance, I have no idea currently if the different vibrations would set off misfire codes, camshaft position codes, and what have you. I could have sworn I've seen tuners...
Well, 99%+ of all currently produced inline 4s are flat-plane cranks. The outer two pistons rise while the inner two fall, and vice versa as the crank proceeds past the 180º point. This results in good primary balance, but poor secondary balance.
Cross-plane cranks for inline 4s have the...
I'm very much so planning to work with the right people to get the custom parts and do the due testing. The main concern I have is entirely software related. Can I convince the PCM of X v.s. Y firing order? Will the crank and cam position sensors not brick something when everything is set up...
I'd love nothing more than to rip the guts completely out of one of these and have a mechanically 70s truck with the looks and lights of a 6th gen, but I feel my crazy idea may somehow end up being cheaper. Factory mounting points, wiring, plumbing, connections, sensors, etc.. Thanks for the...
I understand that to many this should go into the 2.3L upgrades/mods/discussions area, but for all of this to come together and work would practically require all the steps to an engine swap or flat-out getting a new 2.3L crate from Ford Performance...
I want to see if I can with custom balance...
Same for the same reasons.
@Atoledo95 think you could post a plain side shot or two so I can get a gauge of what the arch gaps look like? I think you may have the first rig with specifically the 5" fenders, 35s, and being a 2dr as a combo! All the others I've seen as 2dr builds with these use...
Looks absolutely awesome, congrats! Please post a side shot if you have the time! I can't tell if I should get the 2" or 5" ADV fenders for my future build.
21 and will happily make an EG or HPR 2dr Base my first manual bought with my own work and money! Grew up around my father's manual VW busses and compact work trucks but have been driving my brother's automatic for too long.... After working without a vehicle for nearly a year having a brand new...
