What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

[firewater88]

The Manivan is alive again!!!  New used engine worked out perfect. Although it's completely stock again. But have 24mos warranty on it.  But damn does it feel good to be driving it again.

Glad your back in the road again...

Hmmm threw in some E85 to combat this crap winter gas.. I never get KR.. saw 2 or so degrees pulled.... bah!

Normal.

You are short on all your WOT fuel targets.

Tune may be giving some more spark if it sees favorable conditions so its gonna push up to the knock limit.

Once the trims do their magic and you beat on it a bit it will be gone.

Lol, true... or I can just throw a couple gallons of 104 octane to fix it for now... which will throw my trims off... oh well...

No more KR though!

KR isn't always bad...Your Eco wants you to have more power.

KR isn't always bad... your right.. but I'm maxing out the spark on my current tune.. so any KR is taking away my power...

Got a baby sitter for my wife tonight, taking the SHO out tonight!!

 

[SHOdded]

Trouble brewing in the old city tonight .... Enjoy!

 

[Wardog692]

GOOD NEWS! I finally got my SHO back from the shop after 3 weeks! Final tally, 1 new PTU, CV boot, rear turbo and oil lines, thermostat, and A/C system. Final cost? $80 including a state inspection. Thank God for warranties!

In the hour I've had it back, I've already put my intake back on and done the VTA mod on the front BOV (didn't feel like fighting the rear one with a hot engine). Now that she's basically brand new, I think it's finally time to tune!

I noticed one of my reverse backup lights were out and ordered a set of Phillips 6000k led bulbs from www.rockauto.com and overall great quality bulbs for 7.86 ea.
I found it ideal using a slight angle pliers along with a flat head to remove the six plastic fasteners with ease but you need to make sure the bulbs are installed correctly. Z

[UPDATE] Found that one of my rear license plate lights were out as pctured above and installed a new bulb but to no avail.
I inspected the lamp and found one of the screws & contacts to be rusty and (Brown).
I also noticed the tiny thin gasket that surrounds the lamp to be brittle,loose causing water to intrude inside that one side of the lamp causing my issues.
I ordered a new license lamp and hopeful on a permanent fix.  Z

There is a recall for that part.

I saw a license plate bulb out when less than 2 years old. When I pulled the assembly I also found it unusable because of rust. I didn't know about a recall but evidently it caused Ford to drop the price of the assembly including the bulb to $572 each OTC.

Installed EBC GD rotors and Redstuff pads, purchased a while back from AJP.  Only did the fronts today, rears in the coming weeks.

 

[FoMoCoSHO]

........ I get 20.5 degrees advance on 93 alone... at 14.5psi...

Although how much boost are you targeting? Makes a difference in spark...

I'm already talking to Brad about updating my tune to account for the added corn.

15, as the temps improve I might start moving toward 17 but i dunno....more boost equals more IAT2 heat.

There is a huge difference in how the car feels between 20 and 27....It's made me a spark junkie and Brad is my dealer.

I have seen a lot of datalogs... the 13+ SHO's must have better logic to assist in fuel pressure... I see 13+s hitting 2400 psi at the rail, sometimes more, and mine never goes above 2250psi...like most 2010-2012's

The rail pressure curves are very different!

Makes me a sad panda because ambient temps really play havoc on my fuel pressure...

You might want to have him rescale your OAR as well.

Why the need to rescale OAR? I admittedly don't know enough about the scaling of OAR, haven't really compared the spark at different OAR's...

But in theory, it scales based on input from the knock sensor, not sure why you would need to rescale it for the added octane of E85?

Lets move the discussion here....

Today:
Re-torqued lug nuts and reinstalled center caps

Filled with gas

Took crooked gas station photo.

How many speeders did you pull over lol.
That looks just like the PI explorers around here.

I think we may need to start a dedicated section to crooked pics at the gas stations.LOL. :rofl2: Z

Those look really sharp! The orange pads are hardcore. You won't have any problems stopping that beast

Nice, I'm jealous. I was looking forward to installing those on the car. Those rotors aren't cheap and seemed to be better than your average slotted/dimpled style. The vanes inside the rotor are directional rather not in the cheaper style..And I was hoping the redstuff were more aggressive than the PP pads but I'm not sure....I wanted yellowstuff but they weren't available at the time.

Don't forget to break/bed in the new brakes properly,best of luck.  Z
