This is like the pic of the car he took apart in the snow!! How come we never see the thing put back together and running???  

I just don't know how he can do this stuff properly, without a tech school or years of ON THE JOB training.  :wtf:

The moment 550 realized frankie is 10 times smarter than him.

:lol:

Just crack the line let it blow into the air it don’t smell that bad :lol: jk that wouldn’t be right. So you doing internals rods/pistons on this thing? I’d imagine with this 500hp you want it’s gonna need to be pushing some big boost. Good work keep posting some pics it’s a interesting project.

one of the choker flaps dropped into cyl. number 4 so to get it running i would need to take off the head and see the damage. for sure 1 valve is bent. i might get a forged crank for it, ill see what stock ecoboost parts are the best and if i can get a wrecked ecoboost or something similar

Delete it rip all that nonsense outta there 😂 👍. Who needs a/c in Alaska anyways.

it defrosts the windows better for one. this is going to be a daily for a while until i am able to rebuild the 2.3 and turbo it. it is a black car so it does heat up inside terribly during the summer. fairbanks just set record hot temps this summer

Hate black cars suck to keep clean and suck in the heat. Probably find a cheap new ST turbo engine/trans and just swap that in fairly cheap.

Ya I think the motor was developed by cosworth racing with svt. car was a 04 I bought it used in early 06 I think maybe late 05 I don’t remember. It was fairly quick for a 4banger but I did full suspension on it and thing was like a slot car that was the funniest part of that car. There pretty cheap now buy one of them.

Anyone drinking and wrenching on shit tonight?  

1/2 drunk tech tip for the evening! 

On a Enticer 250, it is a lot easier to remove the angled carb adapter, then remove the carb then it is to try to remove the carb.

Finally got my front Bilsteins in off back order so I threw fresh calipers and hoses on it too, while I was at it, last night. Pads/rotors were new when I replaced the hard brake lines because they were rotted when I bought it May 2020. That working on the floor bullshit is for the birds.

got the 2 liter running yesterday. ford full synthetic manual transmission fluid was 90 dollars for 3 quarts. i just need it as a daily for  now so they are lucky no else had that part in town. this engine is worn out or neglected. has tremendous blowby and crankcase pressure. alternator is on it's way out and sounds terrible. power steering seems ok. im hoping a good full throttle drive will clear up a sticking piston ring, i hope that's what it is anyways.

needs an alignment, i did  not be careful enough to align the indexing washers on the subframe.

i can get plates for it hopefully on Monday

i broke my phone the other day and wasn't able to take more pictures of putting it back together

got the car running with the 2.3 ecu, drove it to the other shop that had the solus edge and tried to get the transponder key i already had to work on the 2.0 ecu. it didn't work, and erased the key from both ecu's, so my friend gave me a ride to the ford dealer to get my key copied onto another transponder key. the procedure for some bullshit reason requires at least 2 transponder keys so that is why it did not work the first time and i had to buy another key from ford

Question, why do you have a breaker bar in a photo with the removal of an ECU??

to check and retighten the subframe bolts. my first big drive in this car today from north pole to fairbanks so i wanted to carry tools to be able to fix it. it went great except for not having a running vehicle when the scanner erased the key from the 2.3 ecu.

i have some more pictures that i posted in a facebook comments section before my phone broke. the ass fucker gay boy service writer at midas was talking shit to me on a local ad that we both commented on. not even a bullshit story, last year my neighbor invited me over, and we were talking, i ended up telling her i got hired at midas and she immediately was like you know ron?(ron aldrich, service writer at fairbanks midas, big tall white dude that is bald) and i said yeah he works at the shop, and then she went on about how this one time she had this weird boyfriend, and she didn't know why he was weird....turns out gay boy ron was his secret boyfriend and they were making sweet butt love. in that comment section he was trying to talk shit about my car saying it will never get going and it will have alot of time on the rack this winter lol. he drinks so i will just show up to all the bars in town until i can see him and slap the shit out of him
