    Help, battery light came on

    It is definately not coolant and is battery electroltye fluid. There are no leaks in any area beyond the top of battery and battery tray. Also, the fluid burned skin (acid) before I got my gloves on. Smell seemed more electrical to me. Belt is super tight and notch on tensioner shows the...

    Help, battery light came on

    Current update, battery still has plenty of fluid within but was basically dead when i pulled it out of the car. It charged just fine. Going to get battery and alternator tested. Fully expect at least (probably) both are bad now, even though again, they are 1.5 mo old.

    Help, battery light came on

    Ive been reading online that overcharging (ie from a possible bad voltage regulator) can cause heating of the battery and thus electrolytes to push out.

    96 cobra new exhaust do I need to tune?

    I don't know where you heard you need a tune with any catback exhaust, but you do not. Regarding exhaust, only long tube headers and removing your cats requires anything in a tune to be changed.

    03/04 swapped kenne bell cobra, fully built in NC

    I am putting my cobra up for sale hopefully for the last time. She needs a new home as I don't have time for her. The car previously had a procharger f1a setup on it and no one was interested in it or the corbeaus I had in the car. So I swapped the procharger for a KB 2.6H setup, and swapped...

    my take on a terminator swap-big cams vid and pics

    SO as some of you know I had a procharger f1a on my car and it never really drove the way I wanted it too nor did it sell when I wanted it to. So I saw how most terminator swapped sn95's were selling pretty easily so me being me I decided to have some fun adn swap mine over as well. Without me...

    guys with kenne bells- boost guage question

    just took my car out for the first time with the kenne bell 2.6h. gave it a few stabs and had no boost showing on my autometer boost gauge. (I know the gauge works because I used it on my last setup and all I changed is where the hose goes to). I have the boost gauge connected directly to the...

    need help with frpp 80's

    had another thread but starting fresh here. I am having issues with my car running overly rich (11.5 afr) at idle and I can't seem to get it to lean out much at all. I've got it as far as 12.o but that's it. I'm using frpp 80's and a sct2600 with my KB setup. I've research the issues with...

    Interesting fuel issue- any thoughts?

    So I recently swapped out my procharged f1a setup for a kenne bell 2.6h setup. nothing in the fuel system changed except for the fuel rails. I also changed the maf to a SCTBA2600 (not fuel system related). When I confirmed all vacuum leaks were addressed (first start idled at 1700rpm), the...

    new setup issues- looking for insight

    hey everybody- I started up my newest setup last week and it has a high idle of 1700rpm and I'm concerned the iat2 temps are too high. the setup consists of a built motor 10:1CR, big cams, built fuel system, trans, rear etc. it ran very well with the procharger f1a setup I had previously but...
