I have basically the same setup except cp Carrillo rods and pistons and different cams. I pieced it together rather than buying a long block. Pretty stout combo so far.
I can tell you that if your goal is 1000wheel then that 2.9 charger is gonna be at its max. I was only able to make 840wheel...
Sorry to hear. 99% of the time engine rebuilds are a result of a failure and arent planned (ask me how i know). But like HK said, a blank canvas is a blessing in disguise especially for the 5.4L engines. It will take awhile and probably be a massive headache along the way but the end result is...
@Pribilof @13COBRA Thanks gents, unfortunately for me palm beach only wants ms109 for its current setup. I asked about switching to sunoco awhile back and they said they wouldnt want to run it since they dont have experience with it.
Anyway last time i bought a barrel it was 1100. I went down...
Hello everyone,
Figured this is the sub-section to post my question even though it looks to be mostly e85. I am in the predicament of having my car setup to only like vp ms109 at the moment which is quite expensive. I am only buying 55 gallon drums and i wanted to see if anyone is...
In terms of efficiency yes. Lets say it takes 50hp to drive a whipple at 20psi. It would only take 25 to drive a 2.65 at 20psi. Those arent actual number but you get the idea. That is where you will get the bulk benefit. Of course there will be a bit less iat2 temp and perhaps some flow gain but...
I dont think it will make it to 1000. I just did mine and it made 1005wheel with the following
Iron 5.4 block, 8.5:1
Ms109 octane
Stage 2 cams
Whipple 4.0 at 25PSI
All the standard bolt on’s.
Granted E85 may make a little more than ms109, but not with those low boost numbers. If you have a...
Thanks for the help Gents. I just got off the phone with RPG engines (unrelated), and they said that the bolt is a thermostat bypass and the spring behind the bolt is what regulates the flow supposedly. He says he has never seen a spring fail and he also states 90ish psi under high rpm isnt...
Oil pressure and temperature are monitored by autometer elite series gauges installed in a sandwich adapter between oil filter and the stock assembly. Oil pump is an aftermarket melling. While cruising oil pressure was about 85-90 psi which is obviously high but it was with sae 30 break in oil...
Coolant level is good. It did not start after the 170’ thermostat, it started while the shop was tuning the car on a dyno from what they said. Coolant is 170ish with airflow, and 190ish while idling since that is when the fan is set to engage
Good afternoon everyone. Im currently battling engine oil over-temp issues. Long story short, oil gets up to 240 while driving lightly with a 170’ thermostat. When i get on the freeway and introduce airflow, it gets hotter. When i am sitting at a stoplight it gets slightly colder. This is the...
Update for anyone following this….
Lund advised me to contact power by the hour regrading the 5.0 ECU swap. I called and connected with Justin and i told him the dilemma and my thoughts. He said rather than do the 5.0 ECU, a 5.8 ECU will swap in and all it will need is a flash. He also...
@1Kona_Venom probably not. Right now i am in the unfortunate position of them already having purchased a tune/sessions with palm beach dyno. It would be a huge task to cancel all that out, move and tow a bricked car, and find another shop in the area thats familiar enough to get it to...
@Blkkbgt I just bought it. It is the BFD code and mine was a BFC code. Im guessing its just a job built date suffix or a build date but it says it will work. Fingers crossed. Thank you for finding that man, i cant thank you enough for the help!
I also bought a used one on ebay, i couldnt find...
Thanks for that info, i might end up using them!
I have never been lucky enough to witness it so i can only assume the results, just like the ECU hahahah
What city/area were you searching?
That i am not sure and i am wondering the same. They are both copperhead ECU’s but 5.0 has t-vct and the 5.4 doesnt. I will probably go that route before i throw in the towel since those ecus are cheap
@gimmie11s yea i actually bought the fs1 one and they never shipped it. I dont think they ever had one in stock so i had to get a refund.
As for the motec, i might go for it but 7k is the baseline then i have to buy about 3k in tunes to get it running. Needless to say, 10k isnt the happiest...
@Deceptive My local ford dealer ran out the part numbers and advised me that they have been discontinued. He also ran a search of all the other state ford dealerships and they did not have any either.
The ebay link you provided is the one i found as well. But when you click on details, it...
