after you install have try the brake? How the brake bias..
I went from not being able to lock up the rears to locking up the rears now. There is certainly a "wet" and "dry" track setting for my application. Note this doesn't mess with the front brakes, instead adjusts the amount of pressure the rears can see.
What if my perch is collapsed? Will this still work?
If you mean by the area around where the spring is supported...I wouldn't trust it to be honest. This dorman plate is pretty small and not sure it can take the entire load of the spring. Better to find a weld in solution to fix the actual perch. This is more so best for those that are rusty/springs move around but the perches are still somewhat solid.
😢 lol nice truck
Thanks!
Nice table.👍
Thanks 👍. I like it so far.
That's Oliver the shop cat. Protects the Miata and firebird from mice. Provides support and makes an appearance in many videos, usually voice at a minimum.
Cat being a true helper here lmao
Always!
People might not be able to tell but this car truly is MOVING!
Thanks! This ended up being the fastest pass as I didn't find time to get back to the track after dialing in the clutch tamer on the street (could 60' on the street tires as good as it did bogging on the hoosies) and dialing in a 100-150 shot. Oh well. Car was mostly an all around street car, still got 30+ mpg on the highway, could idle through a parking lot in gear without bucking, and was a blast on back curvy roads.
@@completetuningsolutions be careful with those bigger shot's you may want to think about what fuel you use after 100 shot I have a cam and I plan on going nitrous and I'll run a standalone for a bigger shot just my 2¢
Absolutely. I was running nitrous outlets standalone controller and then HP tuners for timing retard on top of standard tune.
@@completetuningsolutions that's good you also will get more power that way is your goal mph or time
@@benjamingutierrez4260 Absolutely. The end game is as much power as possible, safely, without leaving bits on the track.
Just put jb weld in the spark plug hole a start it up real quick. It will fill them scratches up
Ha love it! I'm dropping in Wiseco pistons and Manley rods.
Is there a way to pair it with OBD II Data for cars with OBD data available?
Not that I'm aware of. You could potentially use an app like track addicts to match up and overlay.
if its rwd i think you want all the power to the back?
The key is to dial in enough knee pressure to have the rears contribute without locking up. Weight transfer plays a much bigger role than drivetrain configuration.
@@completetuningsolutions you wont lock up if its in gear though? Like almost imposible?
@@BEYTEK no it'll lock them if I hit the brakes hard and have too much power to the rear.
What pins are those? Do you know if I can buy them direct and avoid the extra splice?
They came with the Megasquirt kit. Here is the full kit from them: www.diyautotune.com/product/ms3pro-plug-play-26-pin-options-port-connector-package/
Let me know your thoughts. Have you used this tool before? Interested in seeing the comparison to the Amazon style one I have coming? Please note apologies on the audio drop, would it benefitial to correct and re-upload?
What did I miss? Was this useful? Anyone inspired to mount their Holley in the factory location?
YOUR THE BEST HERMANO
Glad to help!
Thanks for the video, I actually have to do almost the same job here, minus the lid riveting.
It wasn't too bad. Take your time and measure a lot, cut slowly.
@@completetuningsolutions I did, turned out great!
Awesome! @@ninokri
Great series with a lot of good information. I watched/listened as I was doing a cut and crimp set of plug wires on a small block Chevy. Having spent a good part of my career working on these and other import vehicles these are sound practices for just about anything held together by nuts and bolts. Keep up the great content.
Appreciate the input!
Update: The linoleum tops slid so perhaps some glue would work versus the factory adhesive.
Funny that I got this video recommended. I also have a red NA Miata, and I also made crib blocks for it. I went with 8 layers of 2x4's, staggered like you did. On top of that I have two layers of 3/4" particle board and 1 layer of 2x12, keyed to the top like you did, and giving me a total height of 14.75". I think I used them when I pulled the trans...You need a lot of height for trans removal when you do the clutch, etc.
Small world! Makes sense for the height if you are dropping the trans out the bottom. I'll keep that in mind and "key" some extensions for that day. Who am I kidding, hopefully I can have quick jacks or a 4 post by then. I do plan on pulling the motor later this year and the trans will go out with it out the top.
@@completetuningsolutionsIf you can afford quick jacks or a 4-post, that's ideal. So many people have told me to pull the motor and trans together. And if you have the room, sure. I have limited ceiling height and limited garage length. I had no problem pulling the trans out the bottom. And when I rebuild the engine in the near future, I'll be dropping the trans and pulling just the engine out the top. Hope yours goes well.
This will definitely make your brakes perform better! Good luck with the rest of your upgrades!
Hope so! Let me know if you want any details or other tips/tricks as I film this car build.
This looks sick omg 😍
Thanks! I hope it performs as good as it looks.
About to add these to my exocet (probably overkill). Noticed you used the standard torque value along with the threadlocker. Loctite recommends reducing the torque seting by 20%. Have you had any issues with disassembly?
I was just following their instructions. Haven't had to disassemble yet, but don't think it'll be an issue. I usually shoot for close to max setting or a smidge under, never over when using loctite. Aware it does give me a mechanical advantage and the possibility to overshoot.
Dam 6.8 with a manual 😳
Yeah the finals was just as impressive. The track prep was ON POINT this weekend.
Nick is set on kill💪💪😎
My favorite was the consistency over the weekend. It wasn't a glory run, kill mode all weekend every hit.
Killer supra wow
Yeah that Supra is no slouch.
Do they make this for the rear end as well the bump stops in my rear coil springs rusted out want to know b4 I get to work on it with a welder and some 2 inch pipe I already orders these for my front end
Sorry I'm not sure if they do, didn't see this comment. Hope it works out for you.
Do I have to welded the part???
Nope. It's a bolt in affair
Its welded?
Just bolt in and go. Dorman's website has additional details.
Will that be an issue if it rains?
Thanks for commenting, sorry on the delayed response. While I don't forsee it being an issue I have a contingency plan. I can easily move the filter inside the engine bay in a rain situation by clamping it on the end of the pipe that terminates right before the turn down into the fender area (why I made a junction there as well on the downturn) and capping the hole. I'll just be sure to pack those things in my spares "in case of rain". I do run the factory undertray so I'd only be concerned in a downpour situation. Great question!
Do they make a set for the rears also?
I'm not sure, sorry. Don't see why not
You saved my Jeep!! Thank you so much for this!! A grateful UK Grand Cherokee WJ owner.
Glad to pay it forward on the Internet
Great video, thanks for posting. I was under the impression that this was supposed to be welded in, but i guess not. I think I would pay a little extra money to have someone weld in a new support rather than this fix, but I will keep both in mind
Yeah or even jb weld works too. Idea is the spring + vehicle weight holds it down in place.
got to love those "safety gloves"..
Yeah! I got tired of getting stabbed and I lost gloves in the garage when they are camo.
Great video.Thanks.
You're welcome. Let me know if you have questions.
Very clever, I had no idea. Thanks!
Glad to be of service.
my wj is leaning, 10mm on rh side. if its not a broken spring, im going to look at these things
Did this fix it for you?
I know it's probably ok, but where are people getting the information that ATF +4 is compatible with the 44-45? I can't find anything official anywhere. It just seems like a word of mouth thing.
the older manuals for the ds had it speced that way. I saw a photo of it. In think ram has rationalised it now and specifng the special oil for the 44 case in both. I am going to run just ATF 4 plus in mine.
I had found a paper awhile ago. Could have been on bobistheoilguy
same for me but I hear you can't use atf 4. I called the dealer and they said def don't use it. has to be the expensive shit I guess
There was a change for 2016+ rams. Many of them got the 44-44 Borg Warner transfer Case and that requires the special sauce. The older 44-45 tcases allow atf4+. There are some 2012-2014 1500 ram owners manuals floating around showing the call for atf4+.
@@codyfisher3706 Really? My dealer said they were using ATF until they could get more MOPAR stuff in. The guy I spoke to said it should be fine. Too late for me I guess if your dealer is right, I went ahead and used the ATF+4. I may change it out whenever I can get my hands on the recommended stuff.
Just drop xlutth
Dropping the clutch wouldn't work in this scenario as it had to much clamping pressure. Thus trying to get a controlled slip.
What insulators did you use
Moog
I got the almost the same setup as yours because these videos, I know it is an old video but What kind of line lock are you using? I'm looking at the rsd and cartek right now, my abs isn't working and I'm having problems with the burnouts
Fastbird line lock. He posted on the c5 forums
Man ur a life saver thank u a million I juss discovered mine doing the same thing and was thinking about getting rid of it but I’ve done so much to the Jeep but do u know if they have some for the back and if so could u put the link in the comments for me anyway thanks again
I'd check doman's website. Not sure they make tears, sorry.
Sad to see this track go away. :(
Yeah for sure.
Awesome!! You made it look easy. Thanks alot.
Hope it helped!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO!!!! I'm a big time diy and was about to pay $400 to have this repaired on my jeep. I saw this item before but didn't realize it was a bolt on and I don't own a welder. Thank you man. God bless.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Had no idea these bolt ons existed…Unfortunately i we to u pull it and bought a replacement Dana 30 … hope I can return for credit
Happy to help!
I was doing ball joints on my 02 last year and noticed the sway bar mount was gone completely. Wifes car never run off road but to many years of Cape Cod winters. Luckily I have a welder torch and scape steel. Rebuilt for free she bought a 2018 and I am driving the 02 as a winter beater to save my truck from salt roads.
Rust can really eat these up
I've owned it for a year now. Thing still rips.
Awesome!
04 Z06 here... what is your intake and throttle body?
This would have been a LS2 throttle body with adapter wiring and a Mamo ported FAST 102.
Where did you get the software and OBD 2 unit?
Alpha OBD is the program you are looking for. Many bluetooth OBD2 scanners should work, the Alpha OBD software gives some recommendations. Works well for any updates needed. www.alfaobd.com/
At what power point would you think this is a good idea over just having arp studs?
Many say 600+ it is recommended. The manufacturer recommends it at 350hp actually as the individual caps can shift. This motor made 900 without it however, so your results may vary.
@@completetuningsolutions Thanks for the reply, I figured it'd be around there. I was making 550whp last year and just swapped to a 6766 so I'll have the potential to hit around a thousand. Guess I'll keep it turned down until I have time to pull the motor and toss the girdle in.
@@schafer240 before they were a product we were making 700+. The girdles drastically reduce your chance of main issues.
@@completetuningsolutions I could see that, it's probably even a better idea for me as I'm running a 2.4 Galant 6 bolt motor which has all individual caps. I'm a fan of kiggly, I have their springs/hla and trigger kit. Not cheap but the quality is outstanding Only thing holding me back from just tossing this in is a line hone. I wouldn't want to risk it with the amount of money I've tossed at this motor
@@schafer240 unfortunately you'll want to do that (line hone). This is especially true if you aren't running ARP mains.
Would applying seam sealer prevent any more rusting of the perch?
It might. My worry would be that you would trap in moisture. I just did a heavy coat of Rustoleum.
