I was thinking about using a billiet flow pulley set up and running the stock and 3.4 and 3.1 pulleys on my ported blower. I see you are only at 14* timing why did you stop there and not take it to 15 or 16? just a question were you starting to loose fuel pressure???
sorry about all the questions

I am running 39# injectors and I am getting close to maxxing them out, ~90% duty cycle. The fuel pump duty cycle is skewed because of how I had it plumbed. I have fixed that issue so I need to get a retune to straighten it all out. The other limiting factor I am running into is the LMAF is close to maxxing out.

The tuner kept the timing at 14* to keep the tune safe. The car was pushing 475hp and I didn't want to go over that point. There is a bit more to be had but I would like for the stock short block to stay together for a while longer.

do you wave any pictures if what u did to the sender to eliminate the fuel issue?

No pics but all I did was remove the plastic cap that went over the fuel pump nipple and ran a hose from there directly to the fuel hat itself. I drilled a few 5/16" holes into the bottom of the basket as well.

so when does the oil filter housing/oil cooler go on? and how?

[bleedingfordblu]

ok who else got rid of the nipple thing under the lower intake manifold? mines being a pain in the a$$ and wont let the manifold sit flush. what do i need to delete all that?

[fastlane]

I kept the nipple under the lower intake, I just made sure it was screwed in very snuggly.

The oil cooler goes on eaiser if you raise the driver's side of the engine a little and before you install the alternator.

What is this nipple for?

[machgsxr]

Screw down that nipple like an extra three threads. It will get really tight.

Its for the pcv system.

I put the upper alternator bracket on, then the oil cooler and then the alternator then the lower bracket. Never had to lift the motor to get the cooler on, unless maybe you have a mm k member at which point i highly suggest an oil filter relocation kit.

I can't wait to start my swap

Great info in here!

[bleedingfordblu]

Can anyone post up a pic of the oil cooler?

01 cobra cooler on the left and the 03 on the right. Can you tell the difference?

[bleedingfordblu]

Yeah i think i got it thanks!

[watman02]

What do you guys do about cooling? I see over on svtp some guys swear by the 170 t-stat? those of you who have done the swap. have you done anything too your cooling system? adjust the fan temps? anything?

i got the 170 thermostat and plan on using some purple ice or something like that. but i havent had it running yet

[bleedingfordblu]

Has anyone used a gt500 h/e bracket? I got one from the guy i got my kit from and he says its better because with the cobra one you have to cut the bumper and stuff. Should i just get a cobra bracket?

[SHAKN' 04]

You won't have to trim much from the stock bumper. Using the stock cobra brackets

[bleedingfordblu]

Ok. How does it mount up?

[bleedingfordblu]

what did you guys do about the hard line that goes to the ac compressor from the ac condesor when installing the i/c line?

[watman02]

anybody got pictures of there heat exchanger mounted to the car?

Hi Guys


I have to change my inner belt, cause it's squeaking. But my problem is, that I dont know, which belt length I have to buy. I know that the original belt of the 03 Cobra is 96" long, but I have a meziere pump installed, so the belt should be a little shorter.

When I installed the eaton on my 01 cobra, I just reused the belt of the 01 cobra, but I think it's too short.

Anyone an idea?

thanks

[machgsxr]

From what I remember, I used a stock belt from an 03 cobra on my swap with the ewp. Only issue I had was the water pump rubbing on my pulley bridge.

[03Machra]

I have a 03/04 Cobra Starter/alternator wiring harness, will using this work with the Mach 1 engine wiring harness? My plans were to use the cobra one so I didn't have to mess with extending the Mach 1s alternator wires.

[watman02]

extending the harness is easy i would recommend doing that. read the whole thread,i know its long but its worth it.

[bleedingfordblu]

Well i noticed my cruise control doesnt work. The light on the dash doesnt come on when i turn it on and it doesnt hold speed. I didnt replace the cables when I did my swap. anyone else have this issue?
