Yawnald’s on point. Direct injection contributes to quicker dilution of the oil via more fuel entering the crank case. Couple that with the long change intervals and you need a lot of oil to mitigate dilution. Even my gen 1 ecoboost 3.5 took nearly 8 quarts.
I have a 700+ RWHP 2010 with 13k miles on it. I’m asking slightly more then your $33k budget, but if you’re seriously interested we can talk. I sent you a message on FB messenger
I would venture to say that it has to be installed BEFORE the MAF sensor itself. The air that is being rerouted, while not much, would already be accounted for by the ecu if it passes the MAF sensor before being routed into that tube thing. I don’t think it would cause major issues, but it...
You seriously want to spend $145 to make the blower louder inside the car? I guess if that’s your thing, have at it, but I would not recommend drilling anywhere into the PMAS. It’s designed with a bell mouth for a reason and adding any kind of obstruction of velocity disruption would be...
Forscan is not complicated at all, it’s actually quite easy and the software is actually free. The only things you need is an OBD II plug with USB or Bluetooth and a laptop with windows. Other then that, a couple minutes of googling and you’ll find the software as well as a plethora of proven...
Yeah me too. I went from a loaded 13’ FX4 SCREW with an eco boost to an 18’ XLT Sport SE SCREW with a 5.0 and I couldn’t be happier. I enjoy the truck so much I kind of don’t feel like bothering with the Shelby half the time.
I have those springs with D-specs. I think Bilstiens are in my future. I just can’t justify the cost of air ride for a car I drive a dozen times a year.
That’s pretty similar to my old set up other then the BPS elbow which I bought when I bought the blower. Maybe it was just a bad night for boost, that happens. I’d cram some more boost into that thing with a 15% lower and send it. At that compression ratio, it should respond very nicely...
Fair enough, none of my business, I was just saying I know he can be misunderstood some times. Either way, not my fight.
My TVS really didn’t have a heat problem before porting and has even less of one now. I’m actually surprised that your having heat soak problems with the speed your...
The larger tank won’t necessarily “lower” your IAT2’s below your current average operating temp, but it will allow you to maintain low temperatures longer. If you think of the coolant / water as basically a heat absorber it may make more sense as to why a larger supply of water would make the...
I think in my experience, a better alternative to the killer chiller would be a bigger coolant tank in the trunk and addition of ice. Even without ice in the tank, the higher volume of the coolant would have a more efficient level of heat absorption and would take far longer to heat soak. That...
