What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

[irondoor19]

Rain up and down the east coast as well.... thinking of joining up with another guy to hit up Boonsboro, MD for the Mason Dixon 1/4...

If Brads tune doesn't get me a 12.1 I will slander his name forever ;-)

Subbed for results from the JLT!

Going to check it in 2k miles and see what's inside! Will follow up!

I picked up some rubber 1/2 inch insulation in Black to try and seal and lower the intake temps a bit.
FYI I purchased at Home Depot 1/2 inch × 6 ft for  $6.00.
I will post some pics after the install is complete . Z

Thursday, I discovered a gas station about 15 miles from me, that has E85. I've been plagued with KR for some time, so I was thrilled. A couple emails to Bradley and I'm about to go mix my first tank of E30! I'm taking a few 5 gal jerrycans to keep at the house, too. I can't wait to see what results we'll get

Maybe not necessarily today, or even what I've done "TO" my SHO in the proper sense.....

However, given the amount of outdoor venues I've been showing the black/white 2010 SHO at, and none of them really offering electric hookups, I opted to purchase a handy 2000 watt power inverter generator recently FOR my SHO.

This thing fits the bill in so many ways. Compact. Portable. Relatively light weight for a generator. Loaded with all sorts of tech and info friendly features. I've been elated with it's performance thus far.

Always fun keeping the spectators entertained with the audio blasting away, video, and then all the LED lights to boot at these events.

Ooooooo sweet!

[bpd1151]

Oh yea, I forgot.

I also performed a software and navigation update to the SHO.

Since mine is a 2010, there is no option for my model year, other than to perform these updates via CD. kind of time consuming to say the least.

1st disc, of 4, took 50min.
2nd disc, of 4, was NOT needed.
3rd disc, of 4, took almost 2hrs.
4th disc, of 4, took almost 1hr.

So needless to say, although not jealous of much, you owners that can simply plop in an SD Card and be done..... like lickety split, does induce some envy for sure.

Regardless, I am now updated to "10.0x".

Did you have the engine running during this update, or drive off of battery?  Folks, remember to check battery condition first, regardless of sync/navi/tune updates!

Good question to ask Manu!

The directions explicitly state to leave the engine running the ENTIRE duration.

I however, due to having BOTH a power converter, as well as a plug for same, was/am able to simply plug into any normal electrical outlet to keep the car powered, without having to run/idle the engine.

Thus also why I purchased that inverter/generator in my preceding post.

But excellent point to bring up.

Can you imagine?  Idling your car for FOUR hours?  So much for EPA compliance, LOL!

I was pained by the hour it took my car to update using the SD card.  That was the longest I ever let a car idle.  Temps never looked bad and it wasn't a crazy hot day, but it was still painful.

Now that I know it takes that long, I will use my smart battery charger next time.  Just plug in, hook up, and let it go.
