did u do any modifications to the lower intake chamber? plastic part....

 

man i dont think even the wind will be able to catch you when you are done.

 

HI!... FASTER150 : Yes the lower ABS plenum was also gasket matched and the center post was tapered to not upstruct airflow.

 

My god!! U have to get some video of a run after you are done. Reading that makes me tingle.

 

did u cut the center peice from the gasket... do u mind taken a pic of the lower plastic part. im gettin a intake manifold soon for mine so i wanna see a good way of porting it out.

 

HI!... Here ya go :

AFTER :





I'm still playing with the idea of removing the center wall totally to make the lower plenum more like a SINGLE PLANE intake. I'll lose a bit of low end (I've got WAY too much right now) but I should gain some mid and top end power. The cams I'm running make power to 6500RPM+ so all the help I can get is a good thing.

 

HI!... A few more things done this weekend :

*EGR VALVE*

AFTER SANDBLASTING :



AFTER PAINTING :

 

HI!... New 6 rib alternator pulley that's 10% smaller that factory pulley.

AFTER SANDBLASTING :





AFTER PAINTING :

 

 

HI!... New IAC (Idel Air Control) :

 

HI!... *Belt Tensioner*

BEFORE :





AFTER SANDBLASTING :

 

Now I really wanted to get the belt tensioner Ceramic Coating to go along with my timing chain cover but HTC (High Tech Coatings) said it could not be done due to there is a plastic bushing and spring inside. The heat from the procedure would destroy the bushing and the spring might get jammed up do to the polishing procedure. So I decided to paint it black.

AFTER PAINTING :

 

HI!... Crankshaft timing gears. These are also getting CRYO-TREATED next week :

 

lookin nice yeh i was wondering probably would help ya to remove it.. our ford engines have gobs of low end... but having the upper end power should help fuel economony some and also help our top end performance which is what we need if were racing enthusiats.... cuase most of our F150's kinda stop pullin around 90mph

 

HI!... Well I have a P.I 3000 stall converter and 4.10 gears so I can afford too lose a bit of low end. It's the top end I'm concerned about. That's the main reason I decided to go with a turbo set-up over a SC'er next spring.
