Edelbrock E-Force Troubleshooting Manual

[allicedout]

Yea. Those are the basic nitrous pills that slow the closing of the by-pass valve. I’ve tried with the stock 15, added a 32 and tried without. The smoothest by far is the stock 015. Without the pill the boost was totally on and off. I use the 32 daily now. Is that a 35? If so, try a smaller one too. You may find the 35 is very close to the on / off of now pill.

Arun is pretty busy. Have you booked in yet? He’s busy with all the Corvette and Chevy guys lol.

Changing out the injectors was the hardest thing on the whole installation for me! I’d be tempted to stick the stock injectors in and run the EB tune to get it running and get a feel for it. You haven’t really had the car running for any period, correct? Then decide about the tune.

Where are you located again?

It's the pill that came pre installed by Edelbrock. I've only had the car running for a minute..... I'm at a crossroads right now.... Do I put in the stock injectors and run the Edelbrock tune for a bit to make sure everything is good then switch back and flatbed it for tuning...... Or flatbed it as is and deal with whatever comes up.... I'm in Brampton, Ontario.

Ok. It should be the 015. Try that and see what you think. I found it easier to buy new pills different sizes and also new vacuum hoses and just switch out the whole line rather than try to fish the pill out and change it. Literally a 2 minute change. You won’t know what you like until you drive it some.

Up to you about the tuning. May want to get hold of Arun and see what his schedule is like and then decide.

It's smaller to largest... 15 is pretty restrictive, but balances small throttle inputs well. I do not recommend rolling without it for street activities.

I would recommend you leaving it as is so that you can just get it tuned. The Edelbrock tune was not good for me. Very off/on.

What’s up everyone. I just installed the 103mm tb and air box in my ‘18 along with a revised Lund tune. Check engine light just came on with lean codes. Car was fine before the swap. I’ve checked the gaskets, bolt tightness, clamps tight, maf is facing the right direction, hoses are attached and filter is on and tight. Anyone have this happen to them? Thanks!

Tell lund to check the tune.....

I sent them logs and all I got back was “yes that’s quite lean” and if I checked for any leaks. Everything has been over twice and all is connected and tight.

What leaks do they mean? Vacuum leaks?

I got that same response until I told them that the shop had tested everything and they sent me another tune and then it was all good.

My car had idling problems with that initial tune. We only could just start the car with it.

Likely vacuum, but there are only 3 to 5 places to look after the maf.

Thank you for the info! I will reach out Monday

Quick update: I got in touch with Arun he said he's consulting with a US tuner and waiting to hear back from them..... I even reached out to Steeda in Hamilton and they reached out to SCT to see if they access the ECU to tune. Everyone seems reluctant to tune the car, trying to transport the car across the border seems expensive since I no longer own a pick up truck. I may have to work with one of the US shops and get a tuned sent to me and do the data log work myself.

That stinks. I was afraid of that. Nothing wrong with remote tuning though…

In your opinion is using Lethal performance and buying a Shoemaker tune the way to go? Or should I stick with Lund? Lund offers tunes that I can use with my SCT device while anything from Lethal requires me to get a HP tuners dongle with the tune.

I have to go with Lund. I tried others, but they couldn't tune out the surging and jerking at part-throttle acceleration. Now, Lund didn't tune it ALL the way out, but it's really close and very predictable on the street. Can't go around driving WOT all the time. Lol...
