What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

[4DRHTRD]

Picked up the truck from suspension work late Friday night on the Tremor, new one piece drive shaft, moved shocks inside the frame rails, VSS traction bars and raised the front so that that steering will go full lock without hitting the lower control arms. I also had them cut the muffler off so it was just stock down pipes and exhaust but it stopped just after the cab. Saturday I went to a local CHEAP muffler shop and had them do an out the side exhaust and tip, he only charged $100, I asked him about installing my MAK PoS 3" catless steel DP and he said another $100, so home and back I went so he could install. Also had him shorten them up so they don't hang out under the truck now.
Video of new exhaust which sounds craptastic so I am putting in a muffler this week and also having him weld on my 3" boost activated cutout I have in the garage.
! No longer available




Next step?
Aux fueling!!!!
Found a way to make an intake manifold pretty inexpensively, just need a controller, hoping ProSpeed will do for us what they did for the GM stuff with CAN integration into stock ECU. I also have a 2 step on the bench and need to wire up the trans brake setup.

Seems like we need some sort of muffler on once catless downpipes are installed it gets a little raspy.

Ordered flanges for custom manifold for the truck based off of this work:

I have to pull the heads for studs eventually as the trucks seem to lift them so I'll gouge out some injector reliefs when that's done.
Also ordered some 18x9.5" wheels and 325/45R18 drag radials for the truck.
Need to get a launch max or do the home made trans brake and install so I can get to the track soon, looking forward to some flame shooter videos.
Also considering a 75 to 100 shot of nitrous....

I put snow tires on. That time of the year.

Ordered OBX catless downpipes today. They were on sale 25% off so I figured as the last mod to the car may as well get em while I can for cheaper.

How much did you pick them up for, just curious.

$388.12 w/ free shipping. Not bad at all IMO

 

[gtmorgan23]

I thought about buying those but I dont want to have a CEL showing all the time.

Usually your tuner adjusts for that.

Usually your tuner adjusts for that.

Meh..... that "adjustment" simply entails the tuner to merely turn off the rear 02's.

Something most aren't willing to do any longer, due to recent crack downs being handed down by the EPA.

Obviously not an issue for those in jurisdictions that aren't subject to emissions testing requirements.

But problematic for those that are.

Ha. Hardly a trade secret.

But there's the smart@$$ side of you poking it's beautiful head for all to envision, admire, and envy. Dear God yes.

Love it and love you Bradley.

XoXo

Gave the 2010 SHO a full car, car show detail, top to bottom, in and out, front to back, and plugged her in.... she's all ready for her Winter hibernation.

Also washed up the 2001 SE & had the Bridgestone Blizzaks installed for her Winter driving. The '01 believe it or not, is still rust free and just clipped past 131k on the clock.

Always have loved my Taurii.

Still the overall king SHO!

I've threatened many times to pick up one of those older gen Tauri.  They really are great cars.  Had one as a rental 10+ years ago.  It was one of the few rental cars I didn't want to give back.  Didn't do anything great, but was just so darn comfy and dependable with the vulcan 3.0.

Dad had a '96 with the DOHC motor.  Three transmissions later it was traded in.
