thought i'd share my (ugly as sin) intercooler bypass mod. it's akin to the 13/14 GT500 setup. i could have absolutely made this prettier if i had planned it back when i built the car, or swapped to a different crossover setup . . . at least it's effective! there was serious cavitation from...
thought i'd post some sound clips of the 2 exhausts i have. simple startups + couple revs. the one thing these videos don't show very well is the volume difference - the stingers are much much louder than the m-58. i thought it stalled the first time i cranked it with the m-58 on but nope, it...
having a hell of a time finding the rubber hose clamp seal that goes between the air intake tube and the throttle body. i'm using stock intake tube and tb. anyone know where to source, or a part number?
thanks!
Hello,
I'm trying to hunt down a squeak that has started recently. It's in the front of the motor, seems offset a bit to the drivers side, and it's coming from lower than the blower snout. Most prominent at startup, but goes away after a few minutes of driving. Car sat for ~3 months and began...
About ready to get my Cobra inspected, wanted to ask this again for some piece of mind since it's been a few years -
The Whipple EO for my 2.3L states
"The Whipple Charger kit, for other Ford vehicles, consists of the following main components:
Twin Screw Whipple supercharger, intake manifold...
Last November I purchased an intercooler flow mod and adapter, as well as an alternator for my Cobra. I've been having an impossible time trying to rectify an issue with the adapter - here I am almost a year later and I still don't have what I paid for. This is sort of a public plea for help, or...
i'm having trouble getting a leak-free seal between my midpipe and driver's side manifold.
the midpipe i'm using is a magnaflow 441114 x-pipe with 4 cats. it's a 2.5" stainless system. using a caliper, the pipes are actually ever so slightly larger than advertised. for reference, the stock...
Hello,
I'm postponing my engine rebuild for a little bit to wrap up some other, more pressing projects. I'd still like to be able to move, or even drive the car, while i bide my time.
One cylinder is down on compression a bit, but has been running fine for 3-4k miles. passed smog no problem...
howdy,
long story short, my motor has a bad piston and i'm planning on having it rebuilt. goals/supporting mods are a whipple 2.3L, 17-20 PSI range, 91 pump gas (e85 down the line). sub-700 HP.
other than the pistons, is there anything y'all can recommend that i might want to have improved...
Howdy,
Previous owner nuked a piston, likely from a failed in-tank fuel line and 5th gear highway pulls.
Used to use Motor Machine for all the engines at the shop I used to work for many years ago. I’m looking for a recommendation for other shops in the area to get some quotes to compare...

Putting feelers out - had a build all put together for a ported Eaton, only to discover that the ported case was warped upon assembly.
I'm looking for a 2.3L Whipple & inlet for stock TB, used, from someone willing to ship or meet up locally...
Howdy,
I’m swapping the internals of my stock Eaton into another ported case. I’m having significant contact with the rotors and case near the porting. Am I missing something when installing the rotor pack? Could The case be warped? No issues when reinstalling the rotor pack back into the stock...
bracing myself for emissions come registration renewal at the end of next month and worried about the visual. looking for the stock upper pulley, protective belt/pulley cage, and a stock length belt (used is perfect). paypal, venmo etc. let me know what you have, please!
does anyone know what the stock FPDM outputs as far as amps? The final driver is a 5125FE MOSFET, but there is 0 information or a datasheet to be found on these chips, let alone new replacements available for purchase. it was apparently designed as a RF/VHF amplifier.
Indirectly someone...
Howdy,
I recently found and bought what I thought was a steering wheel for my Lightning on ebay. turns out it was mislabeled and is actually a black FR500 wheel. I am considering putting it on my Cobra, however - this was brand spanking new, still in the plastic wrap from the OEM. it's museum...
So, CA emissions laws are garbage, and I'd also like to limit the things I have to do to the car to prep it in between daily driving and driving events. That being said, I've heard only anecdotally that the stock cats might not stand up to HPDEs. I haven't been able to find anything in the way...
is 04sleeper still offering remote tuning? so much good has been said about his work, but it's been a little difficult to figure out how to reach out - I saw that the fb page is no longer around.
what's the buzz?
thanks
I'm looking for the coveted M-58 catback. I have a polished stainless Borla catback with Stingers in really good condition, and a VRS catted midpipe.
I would be willing to trade, include cash, or purchase outright for the M-58. I'll eat all of the shipping costs, too.
edit: I also have BNIB...
Howdy,
Recently bought my first 2003 terminator. been piecing together the history of the car from previous owners and some internet sleuthing.
Mildy moded (pulley, idlers, FIPK, home port on plenum, PPRV delete w/ KB disc, high-flow catted x, Afco H/E). Fuel pumps were near maxed on the last...
