I am making this thread to document my process of pulling apart and trying to figure out what went wrong.
Lets start off with some info.
1996 mystic cobra.
Mods:
Vortech (S-Trim) V1 Supercharger
Ford 42/lb injectors
SCT MAF
Flowmaster cat-back
Bassani X
SVO shorty headers
31 spline axles
Short Throw Shifter,
subframe connectors
Eibach Springs
Adjustable struts and shocks
BBK caster camber
BBK throttle body
MSD ignition
Ford 3.55 Gear
Autometer fuel and boost pillar guages
Raptor shift light
Mickey Thompson E.T. Streets
Car Made 455rwhp/395rwtq @ 10psi
Gas= 93 Octane via mobile gas
Plugs =
This is what happened.
OIL FIRST STARTING TO POUR OUT
Here are 1 vid of it right after we noticed something was wrong..
Here is what it looked like when i pulled the plugs..
Update...
Didn't get a chance to pull the heads off or the intake for that matter since the throttle body and inlet tubing were being a bitch. Plus my buddy adam decided that it was ok to accidently drop the throttle linkage down somewhere by the headers.
Here are some updated pics.
Elbow
Inlet
Throttle Body
Inlet to supercharger
Bottom of blower from underneath the car
Drained oil
Air Filter
UPDATE
Well, Got more done with the help of Erik (aka MGT2002) and my girlfriend who helped out as well. Turns out she is mechanically inclined
Anyway..
Got the spark plug wires etc off, blower, brackets, coolant res, intake manifold etc etc etc..
Btw, THANKS ERIK for coming out again :headbang:
Here are some more pics from the tear down.
