    DiMora's Build Thread

    I’m still here, and the engine is still on a stand, and my car with OEM engine is still running strong, LOL. I am probably going to build it this year. Life got in the way…moved, new house, changed job duties three times at same employer, and got busy with basement finish, pool construction...

    Did I break my new T56 Magnum XL??

    I have Skwerl’s old transmission and I’m STILL beating on it. It’s been bulletproof. Coming up on 40,000 miles on that tranny. I even run a WOTBOX on it.

    Eaton Detroit Tru-Trac. A look inside.

    Once you let the magic out, there’s no going back. Thanks for the pics; I have one too. Love it.

    Parasitic current draw - anyone have specs?

    I've got an aftermarket Eclipse.

    Parasitic current draw - anyone have specs?

    Found a spec. Service manual 414-00-15 "Charging System - General Information - Diagnosis and Testing" "No factory-equipped vehicle should have more than a 50-milliamps (mA) or .050 amp draw" *Vehicle must be at rest for at least 40 minutes. *Procedure is to remove fuses from SJB one at a...

    Parasitic current draw - anyone have specs?

    I'm trying to determine if I have solved all my electrical woes or not. My alternator issue is now solved (bad clutch pulley in a dedicated thread). Now onto this next gremlin... I've always had the car battery die after only 3-4 days if not kept on a battery tendere or charger. I have...

    2006 4.6 procharger belt for a 3.4 pulley

    Years ago when I was seeking belts for some different setups, I downloaded the Gates and Dayco catalogs. They make a huge assortment of belts between the two of them, so you should be able to cross-reference the needed length to a given part number. I have a bunch of notes for Roush blower...

    Saleen intercooler pump stopped

    If you want to go epic, install a Stewart EMP pump and 1" lines along with a degas bottle partial bypass. There are numerous threads on the topic.

    07 Mustang GT no idle or gas pedal.

    The fuel rail pressure needs to be exactly 39. I would replace the FRPS....it should NOT be fluctuating at all. The ECU uses Pulse Width Modulation to "pulse" the fuel pump top keep the pressure at 39. The FRPS tells the pump to pulse faster or slower as needed (fuel pump duty cycle) to keep...

    Voltage fluctuations

    My next door neighbor used to service county police cars...they all had autos...but he said they also used clutched alternator pulleys and that failures were quite common. I did a lot of research and found some clutched pulleys that do indeed work on the Densos. I'm talking 6-rib here...there...

    Voltage fluctuations

    Good info; thanks. What is the fix (assuming you have knowledge of this issue)...is it to replace the SJB?

    Voltage fluctuations

    Because the rapid RPM change during gear shifts can cause belt issues. They are called "OAD" pulleys (Overrunning Alternator Decoupling). I think on an automatic you could run one - or not - but they are mandatory with a manual. From manufacturer WAI describing this design: "The Overrunning...

    Voltage fluctuations

    Here's a troubleshooting checklist from start to finish: 1) Check (or replace) battery and check battery terminals for secure attachment, corrosion, and loose or broken connections 2) Check alternator pulley if it is a clutch-type like manual transmission vehicles require (remove belt and spin...

    Voltage fluctuations

    I got my car running and voltage is rock-solid now at 14.2 on my Aeroforce Interceptor. Whoo Hoo! That was it...alternator clutch pulley (one-way pulley) was bad. I sent a note to Jason at DOB to see if he can source me a couple of new 6-rib clutched pulleys and send my bulletproof Denso I...

    Voltage fluctuations

    I believe I found the problem: https://dimora.fotki.com/various_things/misc-junk/img-3804.html I think the DOB-supplied alternator clutch pulley is bad? Shouldn’t it only free spin in one direction? O’Reilly’s has a 6-rib that I can get in 5-7 days. Anyone know if I can run an 8-rib on a...

    Brand new Interstate MTZ series AGM battery, fully charged.

    Voltage fluctuations

    Trunk battery to power distribution block is 2 AWG. Alternator max output is 150 (2010 OEM Denso) or 160 (DOB) and will use the 4 AWG PA Performance alternator cable and in-line fuse.

    Voltage fluctuations

    Ordered a PA Performance upgraded alternator charge cable from AM last night (went with a GT500 length one)...I'm going to replace the existing one Roush provided that has the integrated fusible link in it just to eliminate a possibility that something is wrong there. The new one will be 4AWG -...

    Voltage fluctuations

    Passenger side engine block ground checks good. Removed it, cleaned it up, and re-installed it with some dielectric grease to prevent any corrosion. It looked really good. I also tried using jumper cables to directly ground the alternator to the passenger side strut tower ground point...

    Voltage fluctuations

    I am going to get the car on ramps and check the engine block ground. If it is good I will try your idea and report back what happens.

    Voltage fluctuations

    Another failure! Either my DOB bulletproof Denso alternator died and Skwerl’s old alternator is no good, or my Optima died and killed the DOB, or I have bigger issues. So far…I pulled the DOB bulletproof Denso and put in a brand-new Interstate MTZ-65 AGM beast. I installed Skwerl’s old...

    Help! Car completely died on the road. No power

    I've got a similar issue now...will report back if I can find the fix. Ugh.

    DiMora's Intercooling system upgrade - Operation Iceman

    My biggest thing with the fans is that I see negligible effects idling with them on/off. I thought they would really matter idling and I would see a significant temp swing cycling the fans on/off...but I do not. I also tend to agree with you that above 20-30 MPH they might be hurting more than...

    DiMora's Intercooling system upgrade - Operation Iceman

    Sure. System fully primed. Pump pushing through heat exchanger then the biggest restriction (intercooler, which only has 3/4” plumbing)...instead of then going into the degas tank icebox, I “short circuited” the 1” (return) hose that would have gone into my degas tank (icebox) into a 6 gallon...

    DiMora's Intercooling system upgrade - Operation Iceman

    System was fully primed with no air. My GPM is valid I believe.
