I don't mind spending the money required for a standalone, but I am not prepared to spend the money required to be the first one in a vehicle. Hopefully this opens up the 10r80 control. Perhaps fuel tech sees the opportunity to make some money on those of us who are stuck. It ain't cheap, but...
Have you ever worked for them? You have more faith than I do. I know sometimes they hide behind incompetence, but they are full of it as well.
I bought a 24 f150, I hope to be able to tune it someday. One of the reasons I chose it was to force myself to delay mods. If it doesn't happen...
Might be residual oil or some other chemical, I had this happen on my car after having a trans installed. Got hot, smoked, never found anything. I think there was something that finally got hot enough. Hopefully nothing, just be methodical and check everything (plugs, oil, leak down, etc ).
To summarize a very long issue, since going to the 10 rib setup I've probably shredded 20 or so belts, went from the vortech bracket to MFP. Had angular issues, spacing issues, and numerous other things. I finally got square pulleys, properly spaced, and a belt to hold to 8500 roms with out...
I had a chin out on the bottom of the intercooler. It extends forward, a couple bends and tucks into where the belly pan used to bolt in. It supports the assembly from the bottom. I did the barn built tube front end so there is not much supporting my bumper. I think I've been 130 maybe...
The world will never know.
I thought about just doing a couple components and seeing, but I have almost no free time; so while I was there everything was done. The only thing I did not do was the harness, which several suggested was the issue.
Maybe it was the springs. Maybe the MMR stuff...
I tried to upgrade my cams, the phasers were cut wrong and the oil pressure would drop and VCTs wouldn't work. Cost quite a bit of money and time, was done at the shop. Now that I have pulled the top end apart, if I do it again I will replace them with something bigger. It was not hard, just...
cams all work now. replaced VCTs, timing chains, tensioners, guides, solenoids, and valve springs. I've done a couple WOT hits so far so good. Everyone on the street before have the cams revert at some point during the WOT hit. I sprung and oil leak and am still fighting belt alignment...
Any comparison vs no filter? I have a bell mouth for mine but have never done no filter vs bell mouth, just filter vs bell and that is usually significant.
Only thing I am suggesting is Mike can share his knowledge. He has already discussed some very basic principles of thermo (efficiency and such) that seem to not be understood by many.
I was not arguing your confirmation bias, but sense you are defending it, I'll agree with Mike.
Did your...
He tunes his on vehicles, has tons os real world data, is a an actual practicing engineer who freely shares what he observes and learns. If you have a question about which parameters to monitor or what to tune to he probably can answer those questions as well
Been a bit since I've been suckered in, why not...
OP, they all have different pluses and minuses; depends on use and goals. They all work on the coyote.
Each one of them is some sort of compromise over the other, after all that is what engineering does. Takes scientific theory that requires...
