JMS module installed ....blew out intercooler inlet hose

[ECOSTANG]

Installed a JMS boost module today ...within 50 miles of driving, knob set @75% power I blew off a hose at inlet of the intercooler. No surprise after checking all hose clamps they were barely tight. Thanks for giving me a sinking feeling when I heard that pop .

That's always a fun sound. I've done it at 35#s on a 6.4L diesel. Almost expected to see a rod hanging out of the block.

Lol i got into the habit of keeping a spare 10mm socket wrench in my backseat on my ms3 for like a month after my FMIC went on. I remember the first time i blew a charge pipe and was just certain it was the motor. Just be glad the ecoboost doesnt have a MAF lol, when the thing is sputtering and spitting and barely running you're certain its the motor at that point.

.....now I carry a mini tool kit

any turbo car guy needs hairspray, spare clamps, and tools with them at all times

 

[ECOSTANG]

LOL .... and duct tape

For the module I'm pretty happy with it, log about 1000 miles with it now . Good improvement for the bucks. Solid 20 PSI, with a short peak boost of 24PSI.

Have you run into any P0234 codes yet?

 

[ECOSTANG]

Nothing at all...only issue I've had was that hose letting go

 

[ECOSTANG]

Not sure if anyone has run into this, but I was getting every now an then some pre-ing after shifting to a higher gear when boost would peak spiked (25psi). Just installed a new set of plugs 1 step cooler....Denso ITV22.

What kind of power is it putting down?

 

[SID297]

Denso Iridium plugs are my pick for most applications.

JMS claims 44 WHP? All I know is at the crank every PSI gained is about 10 HP. https://youtu.be/wN6JimMDf-s

Same here... been using Denso for a long time.
