I am getting close to having my F100 3.5L eco engine swap running.

Is there anyone in Phoenix area that can properly tune it?

I will most likely be upgrading the Turbo's etc

Tuning help after upgrades.
 
I would not trust 3.5 TT GDI EB tuning to anyone currently other than LME or Unleashed.  Since you have a custom job I'd recommend Unleashed since Torrie will let you catalog and adjust the tune. 4DR may be able to help you through Black Market Racing.

In inquired to LME a few times but they never responded. Will try the others you mentioned. Thanks!

Link to build: I just became aware of this site and would put it here if enough interest,

By the way it will not allow me to respond without the verification . .

Did not expect that! Torrie responded to my email in a matter of minutes on a sunday afternoon no less!

I am, Impressed . .

Typical... Even though tuned by LME, I am impressed with his responsiveness.
 
Torrie is the "pre-thought" responder :)  A 5 post minimum is required before security verification is bypassed (anti-spam measure).

He did respond again after I gave him additional info and said he could help with the calibration!

I will contact him once I get to that point. Hoping by April 1st . .

After going for a ride in a F150 yesterday that had upgraded Turbo's & just knowing my truck will be 1500lbs lighter has me excited even more so to get this on the road. Hoping to prior of Ford releasing the harness pcm kit.

Mostly because when I started this project and was looking for standalone harness someone at ford Racing told me it could not be done . .
 
It can't be done, I'll second that opinion, however if you remove the DI setup and move to PFI you'll be able to do it pretty easily, just probably no VVT.

This truck will have DI & VVT.

I found a way around it for the swap . .

So I am sure you will give me a "FREE" turbo upgrade once the truck is running with the DI & VVT?

Mark my words, It WILL happen . .

Expected start up date by April 1st.

Ford told me the same thing years ago when I put a blown 5.0 into a new 1996 Ranger. 1st year of OBDII
 
I am sooo glad that you are attempting this. I always thought this engine would we stupid fun in an old f100 or even a 60 something mustang. I do hope you pull it off with the DI and VVT working.
 
Not sure if you've already got the ball rolling with Torrie, but I'd suggest hitting up Erick at Leading Edge Tuning. LET is one of the best there is when it comes to tuning the 3.5L EB in the F150 and I can personally attest to how strong his tunes are with the transverse 3.5L EB found in the SHO.

Erick was out in Phoenix a few months ago tuning the Full Race F150 for SEMA - http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1017046_ford-previews-a-pair-of-2015-f-150s-modded-for-sema.

Mike aka EcoPowerParts can attest to LET's work with these motors.

Yup, Erick hasn't told me that he's ready to tune SHO's yet though.
He actually stayed with me when he came out :P

Per my conversation with Erick this morning... SHO tunes are officially for sale, sir.

I am new to who is who in the Eco Tuning world.

I will send him a email.

As I said, I WOULD get it to work. I can now say I did. It now runs just fine! Of course using the DI and the VVT.

No problem!


I can now offically say its up and running just fine with all electronics as Ford intended them to be.
