Feedback on an EcoBoost set-up

[NickZ]

Well, Nick and Penguin totally highjacked this thread when they could’ve taken the interaction between themselves to messaging and the OP is no where to be found. So what were we taking about? Oh that’s right treadwear patterns on an ‘92 F-150 with Rancho shocks and worn tie rods. Kool Aid anyone??

lol, sorry

Hell Yeah!


Thank you for taking the time to give me all of those links. - Went through them all on my 30 min' break at Sonic (the burger place. I'm on skates.. I work there.. yes.)



Thank you for asking. - Definitely not strip or track... it is my daily driver, which I drive a good ass amount since I work a bunch! - Adding a little extra with those mods is what I'm onto at the moment

And I KNOW Right? - FreePenguin's got one of the sickest looking beasts on the forum. Big Big Fan, and I'm glad you were so open on where to get everything!

Okay.. after more more research (I literally spend at least 2 hours of search everyday on this)

I've decided to upgrade the list a bit:

1) CVF 3" Catted Downpipe
2) CVF Street Intercooler WITH the Charge-Pipes
3) AirRaid Intake Tube
4) K&N Drop-in Filter
5) MBRP Black Series Cat-Back Exhaust; Street Edition
6) Pro-Tune through PD Tuning w/ Cobb Accessport.

// My car's exterior is/will be a "blacked-out" Red Mustang... so, the all-around Tint-Kit, Black Custom Spoiler, Black Hood Vents, & black highlights etc etc etc, is what I'm going to go for.. so, will the Black Series Exhaust work best?

My brother has a Full Bolt-on mustang, and he's a car enthusiast as well, but he insists that getting a black exhaust is "dumb". - What do you guys think? I think it will go super nice with the whole look of the car!

I got my spoiler installed a little bit ago, let me show you guys some pictures!

I.. tried to make them smaller.. sorry for taking up all this space, haha!


- So yeah, what do you guys think so far?

I also fucking LOVE the way the CPF Intake LOOKS!!! But.. I already have a Blow-Off valve from Steeda, though, so I wouldn't get it for the sound... rather for the looks.. - .. Not sure!!!!!!

That black spoiler certainly goes very sick with the red paint!
for mbrp street, make sure to check the clip I put on the other thread, see if you like the sound (or the look, the tip is pretty big in my opinion...) I'll post it below. Note that gopro's mic can't pick up the low rumble, but if you want neck snapping, go with race... (I don't want people to notice me in such a degree, you know, being annoying... but it's up to you, just my 2 cents)

That is one of the sweetest looking spoilers ive seen on our ecoboost. Definitely dig that more than the gt350 spoiler that everyone has. very nice choice. Good deal, buying matching intercooler with the matching brands charge pipes ensure proper fitment, im not sure if different brands have different degrees of variation causing fitment issues. I was able to slide mine up through the belly without removing the front bumper, you may or may not be able too. it was a snug fit, my buddy just pulled gently on the bumper just a hair for a moment to flex to push the only little touching piece. no damage or anything.

I don't really want to take my bumper off unless really needed, risking it not going back on perfectly.

the cpe intake is just a sealed intake with just a few little gaps between the welds and such, you won't see them, but very slight noise will come from it on WOT. otherwise I don't hear mine at all. I prefer hearing my BOV over my intake anyway, I had the intake plexiglass off for a few days as a test, I hated the open intake noise. just too much, and took away from the BOV. imo.

put the glass back in, and only hear it slightly on wot, and I prefer that

Ah, nick, I like that. - How much of a difference do you think the Street one is from a Stock one? - I definitely don't want too much attention... I don't want to be LOUD. - But I do want to hear a differenece... is the one you have on the Perfect fit in the middle?
I'm afraid it's too "not-much-of-a-change". - Let me know your thoughts! Other then that, I absolutely love the exhaust note.

Thank you Penguin! - The Spoiler is a very big thing for me, so I made sure to look for months even before buying my car! - It's one that is from a small little website, and I've never seen such a unique look before. Came ready-to-paint. Got it painted for $50 Glossy Black. - It has a super slight Curve to it, and it looks not too Boxy, or Big. I like the way it highlights the "slim / slick" fit of the car. I'm in love with it!

Since I'm going to do so much to the car, I'm thinking of starting a build threat, just to keep track of everything!

So, in three weeks I'm about to drop near $4,000 on my beautiful car.
I'm going to add all the Bolt-On Mods we talked about.

The Drop-In Filter
The Airraid intake tube
The Intercooler
The Chargepipes
The Exhaust
The 3" Downpipe
The Accessport
and the Pro-Tune by PD Tuning
// Along with that, because I want the car to come out refreshed, I'm going to add the RTR LED lights & Upper grille (I couldn't resist.. they're too beautiful), I'm going to paint my hood vents black, I'm going to hopefully add slick window louvers, (not the back windshield, as I find that the "Louvers" look leans way more towards an AGGRESIVE stang, so I found a unique looking design that is slick, and shiny black to compliment it). - Along with an all-around black tint for my car to yet-again go with the "blacked-out" Look.

All of that above is what I'm about to change and add to my car in three weeks. - It's a bunch of money, but It's for my baby. I'm terribly excited and cannot wait! - It will be a VERY different Look, and feel. I'm planning to get all of the stuff done in one day, haha.

I'm guessing... // The Drop-in Filter & Tube i'll do myself for 10-30 minutes. The Intercooler w/ Charge pipes, along with the exhaust & downpipe, I'm going to do at a shop I'm thinking.. which should take no more then an hour?. Along with that same "shop-time" I'm going to have them install the RTR Grille.. so I'm thinking thinking all of those will take 3 Hours at the shop.
I'm then going to istall the Accessport, and contact PD-Tuning, which we'll already have a set up RUSH appointment, where for 4 hours via a laptop we'll go back and forth data-logging and getting the tune perfect. Total of about 6-7 hours so far.
Before that I'll make sure I take it to get the oil and everything beautiful, along with I'm going to spent some time detailing the hell out of it and cleaning it so so so nice for some pictures.

And just like that, after hopefully 8 Hours of non-stop work on the car, I'm hoping to walk out of there with my car looking brand new refreshed, and $4,000 down!

... I'm guessing after that I'm going to chill out with the spending, and eventually work on the "engine-bay" look and everything.. - I have lots of more plans for the exterior though, and I'll casually mod them as the months go by.. nothing huge like this plan!

I do YouTube (I sing and make music videos) - so I have some good camera gear, - I'm thinking of recording/documenting the entire experience from stock to finish.. might be a fun little watch for any aspiring EcoBoost-ers once edited and made nicely! Thoughts?

Sorry Goran, forgot to tell ya the clip is with out the dp, I'm looking for a time to put em on.

For difference from the stock one, it's BIG, first time ever since I start driving I want no more music, just the sound and vibration is blessing to my ear. Though the vibration is a bit hard to live with for the rear seat passenger (sorry mom). After putting some sound deafening mats in the spear tire well, it's much better (a happier mom)...

And the cat back is a bit harder to get them on yr self if you don't have a lifter... Took me 3-4h, lying under the car and hoping the best that pipe won't smash onto my face... and a bit hard to get the 2 tips' position right (asked dad for it)...

 

[NickZ]

I'll try to put on a clip when I got the dp on, I predict the sound will be just right. Right now sound feels just a TINNY bit lack a adrenaline rush, but it's certainly much better that stock. Ok, the sock one sounds like a camery... even 4runner sounds better (with it's ridiculously loud fan in the front, it's a GOOD truck).

 

[NickZ]

yr plan sound GRAND... for an EB...
but certainly exited to see how yrs turns out!
