What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

[4DRHTRD]

Spent 14 hours on the car yesterday but everything is in and working. Need to do some tweaking to the tune and fuel pressure settings today.

I figured out what was causing my boost leak, the old fuel cell that was in the car was "sitting" on the back turbo to IC pipe, when the engine rotated it caused the pipe to shift and loosen one of the silicone connectors. I am seeing 20PSI again, just need to get fuel dialed in, too too much fuel with new dual fuel pumps.

I changed my oil, 6qts 5/30 Red Line with a PureOne Purolator (store didn't carry 500s and I figured PureOne is same same anyways lol)

I also moved my rear 5/16" spacer to the front and put new 7/16" spacers on the rear, while rotating the tires.

Two days of hard work have paid off, car is fully running on E85! Looking good!
No more fuel cell under the hood, only have to fill the car up with E85, no more mixing 91/E85.

Bring it on like Monday Night Football!

went to first open car show with my ford club buddies. Luckily mustang, camaros & corvettes had their own classes. my SHO was in the 2005 to present non-moded. No super cars showed up, caddy V's, dodge srt8's, or 392's. car i liked best in my class was a 2006 GTO, but guy didn't clean her up good & didn't do anything for presentation, so didn't place. Luckily beat out the rest & took home the blue ribbon. main reason is ford has done such a poor job of getting the word out on our cars, most judges first time to see one live.

Way to go Mike!

 

[Needmoreboost]

SHO is at Ford dealership to get 1.) recall on fuel pump/module 2.) Fresh blood and filter 3.) Cross tire rotation.

Completed 4 more logs yesterday as Torrie has mentioned my car has been difficult to tune for various reasons.  LOL.  Making great progress though.  LOL

... took home the blue ribbon ...

Congrats, Mike!

OH snap; it's painted calipers and dirty wheels!

I'm too lazy to clean the wheels; too much damn rain going on over here.

I dig the paint; nice over that rusty silver color.

 

[SHOdded]

The calipers look purposeful and stealthy in position!

 

[mjhpadi]

I do like the fact that you can hardly see the caliper since it's painted black...looks very subtle and clean.

Got into a LOT of grasshoppers last night going to the World of Outlaw dirt races.. 96 degrees today and after work my truck smelled like fish guts, it was nasty. No rain for a while in the forecast so did a quick detail job.

Today I changed out my wiper blades with a set of Motorcraft OEM style replacement wipers. I also decided to fill my car up and put the gasoline inside the tank this time. Does anyone have any suggestions for any other good wiper blades to use on the SHO?

I've tried a bunch of different blades on our vehicles and have come to the conclusion that the Motorcraft work the best...I've tried everything including the top line Rain-X and Bosch, but nothing works as good as the Motorcraft...so that's what I'm using from now on.

Wipers easily piss me off if they dont work correctly, so I swap them out a lot. I remember that next time. Give them a shot.

Me too, but I don't use them a lot because I try not to take the SHO out in bad weather, but I do keep the windshield in Rain-X but no wipers I've tried work as good as the Motorcraft, only downside is that they are not inexpensive.

Kinda sucks when your black SHO is your bad weather car. One main attraction was the awd we kinda have. lol

Toy = 300whp Turbo ZX14 lol For those not fluent in turbo bikes, the Air filter is sticking out of the bottom fairing and connected directly to the turbo behind the front wheel. lol
