Holley Terminator X Max Install on 2006 Mustang GT

[ponys197]

This is my build thread for the install of a Holley Terminator X Max on a 2006 Mustang GT.
This is being done at my buddy's shop - Dayton Performance.
We are using the following part numbers: ( not a full list will update)
550-1317
554-107
557-200
553-106
554-140
534-20
558-461
CR3Z9F836C - Coyote Gas Pedal as the DBW kit only fits that pedal.

We are going to use the stock alternator with a modification to make it work. Info will be available via PM.
I have a MVB so not using the transmission control.
My inputs and outputs are :
Rev Limiter - Input
Boost Control - Output
Alternator - Output
Cooling Fan - Output

VCT will be locked and deleted.

Should be ready to fire up here in a couple of days. Still waiting on some parts.
The attention to detail on the build so far has blown me away.
The hard line to the wastegate / boost solenoid looks great.

Interesting..... Aside form the intake and the turbo, what's been done to your engine? How much boost are you pushing?

I don't see why Holley doesn't offer 3V support. They do 2V, 4V and Coyote. If they can control the Coyote VVT, why no the 3V? Probably just the engineering/testing time investment.

Just oil changes - SBE with 93K on it. Last season on the stock ECU and just gate pressure - I was about 8 to 10psi on the transbrake and about 11.5 to 12psi at full boost in a run. Going to see if we can make a run at the SBE unopened motor 1/4 record. Ran 10.80 /125 . Changed converters to non-lockup and a bigger one plus the Holley to see if we can get below 10.30's.

She might give out but this motor has put in the work. It's lived thru a Whipple 2.3L eariler and it has been raced for 3 season's so I have no issues if she let's go this year.

It's crazy how fast stock stuff can go with boost. Just 15 years ago, today's performance was almost unheard of without massive infusions of cash.

1st startup of motor last night!!! Still waiting on solid state relay for alternator which should be here today. Also need to figure out how to control TB as the Freddy Brown control pack with my trans is +12V and the Holley wants ground so will probably use a relay in between as well.

Hope to have it actually driving and on the dyno by the weekend.
