Welcome!

You're not too far from me, so if you're needing extra help with your rig or wanting to help, or need parts, just hit me up.

 

[Gideonclark]

Awesome, I'll definitely keep that in mind.

 

[Marco Lau]

welcome, nice 3FE!

 

[Gideonclark]

thanks the 3FE is definitely a great engine.

thanks the 3FE is definitely a great engine.

agreed, it is a great engine, but if your EGR/smog components is not up to par due to a 25+ yr old platform, i would look into refreshing those and will make a huge difference on how your engine performs. Desmog and advancing timing (if you can get away with smog) is definitely best thing you can do to the 3fe.

 

[Gideonclark]

I've looked into desmoging a little bit, and maybe someday I will but first I plan on redoing the exhaust [eliminate cats], and then I will probably think more seriously about desmoging.

 

[Gideonclark]

as far as refreshing, you mean replacing everything?

 

[Marco Lau]

as far as refreshing, you mean replacing everything?

well, my rig was running decent when i first got it bone stock from PO. Since the desmog, it was running 100x better and restored power lost due to old emission components/EGR etc....i would suggest refreshing old emission components if you do not have a way to desmog and pass smog

 

[Gideonclark]

I guess I'll have to look further into desmoging
