Hey Impact 5.0
- did you guys ever find a solution to the surging/throttle issues? I have a 2012 with a 3.6 pulley and BBR mail tune. We've been trying real had to get rid of the surging/extremely touchy throttle. I have the cfm intake as well but still stock throttle body. Also as well as the touchy throttle I keep going into limp mode with a torque management check engine light code.

I got the chance to talk to the tuner who does Mag's tunes that come from factory. He even said these Coyote's are a PITA to tune. Tell BBR to play with the TB table. Take some out and see if that helps. You might also be triggering the knock sensors.

 

[Nick_50]

Sounds good. Thanks!

Any idea on a timeframe for the fitting and testing to be complete?

I played around with it yesterday. There's a fitment issue with this prototype, it may take a little reworking of the mold to get it right.

I have the cfm one on mine. Uses the airraid box. Might as well just stick to that. Now just to get this damn tune done.

I already paid BBR and we are working on it together or else I would. If I'm paying money for another tune, it's going to be a dyno tune. Shop by me wants 650-700 for a tune. I thinks that's a little steep though.

 

[Avalanche3377]

Anything new on this?

 

[SID297]

Word is that a second prototype is being produced.

Nice article! I just ran into the same issues with my 2012 GT500 with factory maf setup, stock injectors etc. Have Ford Racing TVS, 65mm TB/elbow, and 2.4" VMP pulley. The are made 670rwhp/671tq sae, but I am pegging the factory maf.

My 127mm JLT is on the way to me now and ordering the 2013 500 injectors tomorrow. I wasn't thinking I would get any more power gains out of this, but this article has me thinking.. maybe? Will be good if more power comes.. if not.. I am happy where I am for now.

BTW, the maf pegging was causing my fuel pump duty cycle to max out at approx. 5400rpm. Guess it was compensating?

 

[Avalanche3377]

Any idea when it will be ready to test?

Providing you still have this setup. How has the long term performance and reliability for the coyote and the blower been?

 

[SID297]

Long story short; the prototype CF intake hard a few figment issues. We're not giving up on the project, we still want it to work. We're working on a a new design currently that should quash all the figment issues while still retaining all the power production advantages.

The durability of the afore mentioned home-brewed version has proven to be surprisingly robust. Still, the final version should be even better.

 

[Avalanche3377]

So do you have any idea when this final version is going to be ready? Is this actively being worked on or is it a side project?

I owned Magnusons 2011 5.0 SEMA car and was always frustrated by the lack of great power numbers and other tuning issues. Would have loved to have seen this intake a year ago. I may have kept the car.

 

[SID297]

We're scheduling a time to get a second version prototyped.

 

[Avalanche3377]

Any word on the new prototype?

 

[Avalanche3377]

So has this project just been abandoned now?
