Finally some progress

**Martin0660** · 03-20-2007, 10:04 PM

I've finally been home long enough to make some more progress with the Capri

AEM Wideband O2 sensor installed, Disco light AF gauge removed :D

I ran all the wires for datalogging the wideband, RPM, MAP, and ultimately MAF.

New shifter handle with line lock button installed and all the wiring run for that. The upper intake has to come off to install the line lock, so i'm going to open it up for a Super Coupe 65mm TB I have laying around. I will need to redo the cold side plumbing for the MAF anyway, might as well get that on there ;)

Spec Stage 3+ clutch goes in Saturday. I will also throw the rear Eibach launch springs in, and change the rear shocks to pin mounts while i'm in there.

After the clutch swap, I can put the interior all back in with new carpet.

I'm going to wait to get some baseline runs with this cam, then will swap in the A237 on its own so we can see what its really worth.

Its starting to come together.

Also wanted to ask, whats the difference in the ranger roller and the a237?

The ranger roller is a stock ranger cam, its really mild, but the events really favor the turbo engines, its nothing fancy, just a cam that doesent do anything "wrong". Its got good bottom end, but some claim its a little dead up top (not my experience)

The A237 is an OLD Ford motorsport piece, a bunch more lift, and a little rough on the idle. Probably not the best turbo cam by todays standards. Its intersesting to me as its a 3500 - 7000 rpm cam, might let me run 1st and 2nd gears out a little further. With the 3:97 1st and 3:73 rear, I'm shifting as fast as the car moves ;)

My exhasut is 3" from turbo to back bumper. Its a Sacremento Mustang 3" downpipe, I made the intermediate pipe, a Hooker aerochmaber muffler, and a 3" flowmaster tailpipe on the drivers side.

Bob I've always heard a chambered muffler is no good for a turob application..
Isn't the aerochamber a chambered muffler?

On a side note you make me want a Capri to play with! :)
