    F150 Ecoboost Builds

    If I remember correctly, the one time I looked at boost on my 2015 2.7, wide open accelerating, I saw my boost dropping after 4000 rpm. Just loses torque at higher rpm so there isn't much top end power. I think peak 17 psi was around 3000 rpm?

    Welding on block

    haha had to count again to be sure. Yeah, I agree, worth a shot.

    Welding on block

    Using a single bevel weld joint and drill/tap through the center so there is no discontinuities? I would be surprised if there is a significant difference in displacement of the knock sensors due to a welded on boss vs cast. I'm not a scientist, just an engineer.

    Love Death + Robots - Netflix

    On your recommendation, we started watching Love Death & Robots last night. Love it. Odd mix of weird, uncomfortable, and amusing short stories. Not going to lie, can't wait to watch more tonight.

    Nice! Did you use a MIG spool gun?

    2020 GT500 DCT 750 HP - NEW PICS ADDED 1/14 - Pricing added

    That's pretty much what I was reading on the TR-9007. Sounds like most of the transmission control is handled by a Tremec TCM.

    2020 GT500 DCT 750 HP - NEW PICS ADDED 1/14 - Pricing added

    Listened to one of the teaser videos where the tranny shifts up... kind of reminds me of our old 1995 351 Bronco and the A4OD tranny.

    Bringing the GT500 Cluster Boost Gauge back to life!

    Wish this thread took off... Was just thinking of putting an Arduino board in between a vac/boost sensor and the GT500 boost gauge pin(s). Like the OP, don't know what type of signal the gauge would require. Any new knowledge of the GT500 boost gauge signal would be appreciated.

    Engine ran out of oil (oil filter gasket issue), ran for like 2 seconds before I turned it off.

    Could the lack of oil pressure in the tensioners allow the chains to skip a tooth at the crank sprocket when the engine was shut off?

    I'm curious what you did with the rear suspension?

    Intake mani and tb question!

    Am I the only one that hits 6500 rpm every time I drive the car to work? Hey I run that combo with long tubes and its fun, reliable, and uhh not that fast. My recommendation would be to stick with the stock manifold and TB unless you are going to use that high rpm HP gain. I have another FRPP...

    Any welders (school, job, hobby)

    I have a friend who has been running one of them ching chong Harbor Freight TIG machines for a few years. Still works... Personally I run a Millermatic 211. Its a MIG machine that has a plug adapter to run off 120vac or 240vac. I also run a 2nd bottle of pure argon for the spool gun to MIG...

    Mailbox Light...

    Hows abouts one of them there solar powered, motion activated, LED walkway lights? In the past, they really sucked, but the light output now is actually useful. Or just one of those little pancake motion activated lights...

    8.8 whine and vibration

    Agree with 3.73 tending to be noisy. You can sometimes get away without using a new crush sleeve if all you're doing is changing a pinion seal or flange. Proper preload on the bearings is defined in running torque. I use a 1/4" drive beam style torque wrench when I set it up. You want to...

    2005 Mustang GT D.O.B kit

    While you're picking up the 405 pump & wiring setup, ask Jeremy for a set of brand new, flow matched, set of 47 lb injectors.

    Occasional stumble.

    2010 gt hot rod cam sputtering issues

    Pretty much the same setup here. Low RPM drivability was sacrificed for a mild improvement at top end. Pretty much anything over 1500 rpm purrs smoothly for me though... All in the tune.

    Will welding hold on aluminum block?

    A fix could be engineered... As mentioned, you really want to clean the surrounding Al well. TIG welding process is a must imho. Forget which wave pattern is ideal, but of sine, square, and saw tooth, one is better for cleaning with high frequency. Would suggest a 100% efficient weld design...

    Squeaking and rotor hitting caliper after gear change

    I hope that the c-clip is not just sitting in the bottom of your pumpkin. Although that is one of the benefits of rear disc brakes... keeping the axle from totally coming out if you lose a c-clip.

    Squeaking and rotor hitting caliper after gear change

    Just a thought based off my experience... Had a whirring noise that developed right after I bought the car (~24k miles). Changed sound around right-hand corners. Long story short, ended up being the carrier bearings making the noise. They were pitted pretty bad and they didn't have much...

    Need help ! Unable to install Borla S type on 2006 Mustang GT

    Personally I was a little disappointed with the fit of the Borla muffs. Took a lot of "fine" tuning with channel locks and vice grips on the hangers. I didn't have much drone with the old [manifolds - stock H - ATAK] setup.... Barely anything at 2000 rpm. More noise came from my worn out...

    Need help ! Unable to install Borla S type on 2006 Mustang GT

    Believe I had the same issue you're describing with my Borla ATAK on my 2010. Ended up trimming hangers w/ sawzall and adjusting the bends to center the tips in the bumper. That was when I had manifolds and stock H, but the fit is the same with Kooks long tubes and X.
