Mark - I'm sorry if I missed it but what did you 'change' that resulted in no more ping? Or do you think it's just figured things out on its own? If so, could it be ambient temp related? Have you noticed a pattern?
Ok, so I can confirm what has been noted previously. Technically, you could cram the FR oil separator in with the PP2, but it sits very firmly against the wiring for the TB. I think it's a bit disingenuous when they suggest you get one or use one with PP2.
I think it depends on where the 'T' fitting is installed and how the hoses are "happy" which is different for every vehicle. The hose comes off of a spool which causes a varied natural bend radius. It's just the nature of mass manufacture.
The day I picked the car up it was 82 degrees and I drove it 20 miles through heavy stop/go traffic and noticed the ping when I got close to home. Yesterday was a little cooler and I took it on a 60 mile ride on country roads and tried to get a ping and nothing. Today its 62 out and I took it for a 10 mile drive and tried multiple times to get it to ping and nothing.
Well, I have been using 91 octane ever since I took delivery of the car. I also installed oil separator within the 1st 100 miles. The engine still pings. It pings less with Octane Adjust turned on.Re Ping, I switched from 87 to 91 months ago, so the car had plenty of relearn time before install of PP2. I wonder how many with ping issues are just now switching octanes???
I agree with you. We must be a few of the lucky ones. No issues whatsoever, other than the one caused by me where I broke the vacuum inlet to the intake and had to replace the whole damn thing :frusty::lol:. Runs like it should though.
I agree completely with what you said. I have tuned quite a few cars over the years and audible pinging is pretty rare unless really pushing it past the limit. It is definitely an aggressive tune issue, my worry would be if the ping persits over more than a day or two. The OAR is a learned value, so it does take a little time to adjust itself.
The intake must locate it in a slightly different spot, because I fiddled with mine for quite a while, and no matter what I did, it was jammed against the TB wiring. No amount of "repositioning" was going to make it work. With the stock intake and GT350 TB, it just didn't work for me.It fits fine!
I have Power Pack 3 essentially and FRPP separators on both banks, they fit OK. Yes you need to get creative with harnesses and hoses but it does fit.
Loosen the bolts on the coolant reservoir and as it has some movement to give you more room.
P.S. Keen eyed will spot thats not a 350TB, but now I have 350 TB in as well and there is not fitment issue.
That makes more sense. Your set up is really nice. My set up followed the Ford instructions, because it was done by the dealership. Good to know it can work for those who want to make it work.
I have PP2 with stock manifold and my FP filter fits. It's snug but it fits. The throttle body connector is VERY close to it but it does not push against the filter at all, just sits right next to it.
