From my <personal> experience, I would shy away from doing OPG's. I'm not sure if it was truly the culprit for blowing my stock motor (that's what the shop told me), but that's what they said.
I had my Hellion Sleeper installed in July last year (along with OPG's) and 300 miles later the motor...
Good Point Jackson1320...
GreenS550, this is my 3'rd Mustang, first time with a Coyote. All three have had FI installed.
Maybe I fell for all the hype about the stocker OPG's/CS's being shit, and well - since it's a manual car believed it would be good insurance especially since the upper RPM...
I can't imagine wanting more than 900whp for a street car. But, I said that about 700whp damn it's a slippery slope no matter how you look at it.
IDK, having an OEM Product like the the Aluminator might ultimately increase the resale value vs. a rebuild.
Question: I was looking at the Aluminator SC, and although it's built for SC / FI applications, the warranty information doesn't say it covers it? Ugh, are there no engine companies that offer a warranty for FI? (I mean, I would have thought if it could be proven it was properly tuned maybe?)...
Wazslow, you're correct - OPG/CS were installed. Mechanic had a hard time finding a puller that would work I recall. Wondering if it was the first he did on an 18, but I know he triple checks everything and follows Ford Manuals for the procedure.
Wow, I just don't see this happening too often...
Yea, I know.... It could have been anything really, might have even happened without the installations. I'm being told 2018's+ are hit or miss with FI applications. Some have no issues, while others do.
Any Engine Companies currently offering a warranty on boosted applications?
I certainly...
Dear God, but do you think the mechanic will own up to it? Probably not. He was insinuating I might have over revved it, which I hadn't. Did I make a few pulls into the upper RPM range? Yes, but never in first or second gear, and not above redline, I mean for craps sake they're supposed to...
Thanks Guys, you've given me food for thought, much appreciated. Still can't believe the stock block let go after only 300 miles on the Hellion Set up. It was tuned by Lund, etc... I mean people do this all the time and have no problems, I guess I've fallen into a category of one in a thousand...
Well, let me elaborate.
With about 7.5 lbs of boost, it made 717 whp and 518 torque.
While this was impressive, it still did "Feel" like where I want it to be?
This is my third Mustang. First was a 91 foxbody with a Vortech, second was a 2009 Bullitt with a Roush M90 maxed with all the...
Hey guys, I know this topic has been beat to death probably, but I'd appreciate any suggestions on a strong OEM or Aftermarket Long Block.
Just found out one of my timing chains let loose, which leads me to believe there's probably other issues as well.
Might just go the route I've always...
OH MAN It just got worse too!
I broke a timing chain it turns out! WTF? I BARELY even got into it, never past 6KRPM and when it failed I was a 2Krpm going down a hill?
Yep, my luck has been the worst this year, this has really been a 123 Punch.
All I can figure is it was a crap...
I have the same issue on my 2019 Black Bullitt, it's a loud like "Resonating Chopping" sound is the best I can describe it. Right around those same speeds, i.e. 30-40ish MPH. And your right, even in neutral.
Funny thing is, it only occurs when it's cold. As soon as she warms up a bit, it...
Got an update to share, had the car towed to the shop on a flatbed. Tow Truck driver unloads it without first checking if the car was in gear or emergency brake on, and well she rolled into the shop and slammed into the lift.
The car appears to have only cosmetic damage, but I won't know until...
