Update on the motor build guys.

Dolbs4082 · May 17th, 2009, 06:21 PM

Went out today, figured out that one of the ac lines got melted on the header causing the erruption. No biggy, i'll worry about replacing that line later down the road.

So i moved the line away from the header, and secured it there. Then i filled the tranny up with fluid and fired her up. I let it sit and idle for about 30 min watching the temps, and everything else. Nothing came one, so i decided to take it for a cruise. Car runs fine, clutch is a lil jumpy, i just need to replace the stock cable and quadrant with the steeda one (im ordering first thing tomorrow morning)

Then after an hour of slow cruises my check engine light came on, p1506 which is idle speed yada yada yada... my idle is set quite a bit high right now, but i've turned it down, it idles at around 700 rpm, cant go much lower then that or it starts chugging.

Now for those of you who just read all of that, heres a little gift for ya

howd u turn down your idle?

Dolbs4082 · May 17th, 2009, 09:14 PM

i adjusted the set screw on the throttle body, it was screwed way out holding the butterfly open. then i used the sct tuner to reduce the idle rpm down a wee bit. once its tuned i'd like it to be around 600-650 rpm. but the 700 sounds sick as well haha

jivepepper · May 17th, 2009, 09:21 PM

Sounds good. Mine idles a little more than 800.

Dolbs4082 · May 17th, 2009, 09:28 PM

mine idles at around the 7-8 hundred mark, and it just seems to be idling too high, but then again maybe thats where its supposed to be idling? haha idk

mustanginky · May 17th, 2009, 09:36 PM

mine idles around 1k? weird, mine is blown though so my tuner may have made it idle a little bit higher.

roosgt! · May 17th, 2009, 09:36 PM

Dolbs4082 · May 17th, 2009, 10:16 PM

But yeah the car sounds great. I wanna see some numbers on the dyno and at the track!

Dolbs4082 · May 17th, 2009, 10:31 PM

yea me too! im calling up monday to set up a dyno day. and the next test n tune night is in 12 days, hopefully she's running decent by then.

Because im more concerned wit the qtr mile et then the hp numbers. so we'll see how things turn out.

Willy Mo · May 17th, 2009, 10:32 PM

right on. what mods did you have with the 13.4?

limited · May 17th, 2009, 10:59 PM

sounds good, glad you got it running. mine idles fine at 850 so you don't need to go any higher imo

Dolbs4082 · May 17th, 2009, 11:15 PM

that time was in my 31 tudor, when it said quarter mile time, i thought it ment fastest quarter time, not just in the mustan ghaha... cause my stangs never been to the track.

Willy Mo · May 17th, 2009, 11:23 PM

I see, lol I was just wondering, as I am hoping for a lil slower the that with my set up. what do you and anyone else think dolbs will run at the track?
