What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

lamrith · October 14, 2018, 08:38:42 PM

Put a V8 in my SHO today. There is just no replacement for displacement. It's a project I have been thinking about for a few months and found a deal I could not pass up, so i jumped on it.

I was worried about fitting it at 1st, but these boats got plenty of room, so it dropped right in with room to spare.

If you have all the Right Tools, Lots of Patients, AND the Proper Extensions, Almost Easy....!

2011 SHO: Got both turbos out of the Car on Sunday. FINALLY,
I was able to remove Rear Turbo without F ing with the Sub Frame or Axle,
I was also able to get the Oil Feed Line off at the Turbo, by removing the Turbo & Rotating it,
to get at the Oil Feed Line @ the Turbo. Tye Wrapped it And removed the Feed line At the Turbo.

Then was able to Rotate the Turbo Out without Removing anything Else...Yaaaa

Wow you can really see how small the turbos are.
Makes sense for really using a turbo per 1.75 literes and 3 cylinders.

Juuuuuust when I had become content and have SHO where I want it, made the decision to not tweak it or push it any farther and start planning and researching my mustang project as the pushed to the limit fun project car...
Some filthy no good jackwagon has to go and post poll on a local FB group that he is looking at bringing in E85 to his gas station GRRRRRRRRRR. I never considered E20/30tunes as there was just no source for the E85, now this.

I just gotta stay strong and keep telling myself, the car is already faster than I need for a DD, leave it alone it is your DD, take the stang to the ragged edge... Yeah that's my story and I am sticking to it!

Ha! The eternal enthusiast's conundrum. Just keep those pockets full of change!

Welp I finally got around to submitting my 11.91 to drag times. Hope everything goes smooth with the proof I got. Got pictures of the car on the track and of the slips with matching numbers on it, but no video this time around. Everybody in my group was busy trying to not die of the 95 degree sunny day heat in the canopies. If it gets added cool if not I am not gonna cry about it

SHOdded · October 16, 2018, 12:56:21 AM

Looking forward to the link once you get it up on the site!

I bet you'll get it. Basically you're just updating your time, you're already accepted and not everyone has video.

I submitted my info for my previous 12.0 and it took 4 or 5 business days to get approved. Then I noticed I overlooked adding car type. You can see in the email the link states Ford Taurus. I didn't list it as SHO. I updated my info to fix that and I havent been able to view it since. Perhaps another 4 to 5 business days to approve? Should see it again this week. I don't know if I should wait and see or submit a new one for my new time....opposed to updating all my info again.

SHOdded · October 16, 2018, 07:12:36 AM

So that's how it works!

Talk to Brad again, he has some lights out E30 tunes. Once you go with E........you will be hooked. I am almost out of pump E30 in my car and the ambient temps are dropping. My car will only be getting Torco T-85 with 91 going forward. Hopefully we can squeeze a little more performance out of her and she can click the off 400+ AWHP and run a 12.50-12.60 ish at the track here tune only (tune, plugs, and K&N drop in).
