What did you do to your Mach 1 today

[BlkMach10510]

That looks like a Fast and Furious transmission

Yep, that is what it is called from Billetworkz, lol.

I looked at that one too but mine is a 10 speed and thought it can make people laugh.

GT500 gauges. Silly they didn't come with the Mach 1.

Was it a very easy swap? Time and cost?
Where did you get the 500 gauge?
Thank you.

If you have a PP1/2, bullitt or a Mach 1 the gauge pod is already there, you're just swapping in different gauges, it's literally plug n play. One question, does the my color work with the GT 500 gauge pod? In the past, swapping in the GT 350 pod was the go to mod, but the my color doesn't work on the 350 gauges, they stay white all the time.

Had a friend swap the Ecoboost HPP guage pod into his Mach 1 (Oil Pressure and boost), and the My color works. His is ESS boosted so he wanted boost instead of Oil Temp...

The ecoboost gauge swap is common. and it is well known that the my color works. But some would rather have an oil pressure and oil temp gauge like the GT 350 has, but the my color doesn't work on it.

Took me 10 minutes or so. Very easy. Check YouTube. All you do is remove that panel then it is 4 T25 screws and 3 Philips if you want to swap the rings. There is one pig tail for the gauges.

350/350R/500 same part.

I don't care about mycolor, so no loss for me.

This is a track car, so oil pressure and temp and critical to key and eye on.

I'm curious how the OE boost gauge would work with an aftermarket F/I kit on the V8?

The factory PP1, mach 1 gauges have a vacuum gauge. The ecoboost has a combo vac/boost gauge. the eco gauge is is the same as the pp1, just recalibrated to show boost also. the map sensor is already built into the system, so all you need is a gauge to show boost, the hardware is already there.

BTW, the 18+ GTs and all mach 1 that have the 12" digital cluster has a built in boost gauge, Ford uses the same cluster on ecoboost cars and the boost gauge is there, they just turn it off on V8 cars. Just use forscan to turn it back on.

But there is no oil temp sensor on Mach 1.

Are you sure? It seems to work though.

I am. This is why there is a cylinder head temp gauge in the dashboard display instead. The common belief is that the oil temp is a projected (calculated) value. I guess there is nothing wrong with that. It just seems to be not that critical for Ford .

You definitely made the right choice! Never thought or seen anything like that before. Might have to get one for my car too

Still better than a stupid vac gauge on a normally aspirated car.
