Title: BoostfoSHO 2015 SHO Build thread!
Post by: BoostfoSHO on November 25, 2017, 06:39:55 PM
What's up everyone. I git a 15 SHO PP about 3 months and the first month and half it spent it at the dealership with a blown rear differential. Took 2 trips to the dealership first they replaced the entire steering assembly and it didn't fix the issue, even though I had told the tech it was the rear diff binding together he ignored my diagnosis. So I went to another dealer and they listened and found the rear diff full of shavings and missing teeth. So they replaced all the rear drive unit.

Now I've had the car back for about 3 weeks finally and so far i have installed

Air raid intake
3bar map
OBX downpipes
160tstat
And tuned by AJP Turbo

Waiting to be installed is
a snow meth kit stage 2
electric exhaust cutouts
MSD ignition coils
Colder sparkplugs

I painted the chrome in the front grill and the rear red with some plastidip and i hated it so I took it off. Found a less colorful red and tried again. So far I'm leaving it but I think I'm gonna go with a black.

Any comments or tips are welcomed.

Thank you all.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171125/b02398fddd97265244993c3196098089.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171125/565743f7b7ea14df951896a1667ef51d.jpg)

Welcome aboard the E.B.P.F BoostfoSHO!  Nice looking SHO and truly glad to have you on board.  Z   :WELCOME:
I do love Red as you can tell but would honestly go with the black trim instead.

Does anyone know if it's necessary to plug a vacuum hose to the Tial BOV? I traded them and don't have instructions. Also do I need to change the springs if I'm boosting a bit more from a tune ?

I would not worry about the Spring rate @ the moment but would be more concerned
about finding the correct source for vacuum reference for the Tial BOV!
What spring rate do you have?  any idea what color of the actual spring ?
It's probably a -10 psi spring rate with the Tial BOV IIRC.

Oh lord. No wonder it had a blown rear diff. That guy did NOT know how to treat that car. There should be a line from that port on top of the tial to a MAP reference. You can either get the reference from the brake booster (near the rear left of the engine). Alternatively, on the hot pipes you have, there is a small plug, with an allen head (that takes 1/8" NPT threaded bungs) located right underneath the map sensor. Get yourself a few hose fittings to put in that location (my recommendation is a 45 degree, into a barb, or a 90 degree into a barb) and then from that a small 1/4" diameter hose to the tial. Alternatively there are MAP adapters, like this: http://www.stage3motorsports.com/TS-0720-1005-2013-2016-F150-3-5L-EcoBoost-Turbosmart-MAP-Sensor-Boost-Reference-Adapter.html (http://www.stage3motorsports.com/TS-0720-1005-2013-2016-F150-3-5L-EcoBoost-Turbosmart-MAP-Sensor-Boost-Reference-Adapter.html)

The MAP adapter will not allow for the engine cover to be put in place however.

There is a lot more in this thread of mine than you need, but post #109 has a few pictures of the connection I recommend, to the bung under the MAP sensor on that Tial Q 50mm. You should have either a -10 or -8 spring in place, it comes with a -10 from Eco Power Parts. Myself and ZSHO went to the -8 for better response.

The following chart has the correct colors, etc. A new spring is ~$30 bucks, but it can be a bit of a pain to swap them, or to check them. Also, you need to be very careful opening the tial up, as the spring is under extreme pressure and it can take an eye out, or worse. http://www.tialsport.com/documents/w3_tial_qqr_sp.pdf (http://www.tialsport.com/documents/w3_tial_qqr_sp.pdf)

I never ran my car with the -10, I swapped to the -8 before I started, based on the recommendation I saw from ZSHO and another member or two at that time. Many people have been fine with the -10. You can use the chart I linked (http://www.tialsport.com/documents/w3_tial_qqr_sp.pdf (http://www.tialsport.com/documents/w3_tial_qqr_sp.pdf)) to see your resting vacuum. Using your tuner you can get an idea of the vacuum value at idle, or if you have a boost gauge it is even easier. The main difference between the -10 and the -8 is the response of the BOV. The -10 is set for a slightly higher amount of vacuum so it opens slightly later. The -8 looks for slightly lower vacuum and opens quicker.

EDIT: You may actually want to get a straight 1/8" NPT to 1/4" hose barb for the port I mentioned. (something like this: https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/69920 (https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/69920))

Alternatively you can get an 1/8" NPT to 1/4" NPT straight fitting, with a coupler (female 1/4" on both sides), and then 1/4" NPT to hose barb with a 45 or 90 degree angle depending on how you feel about routing the hose.  A 45 or 90 degree would have been easier for what I did, but it wouldnt clear the MAP sensor hence the need for the straight extension.

I traded my stock pipes for the hot ones from shohard on this forum. He was trading his car in all stock...

I got the BRA so if I understood correctly I can use that and just place it under the 3bar map on the manifold. I don't care if the engine cover can't be placed back on. I already have it off.

Bov spring rates are based on vacuum..boost really doesn't matter...now if you are talking about the spring in the wastegate mod for the intake that will matter when it comes to boost...springs for bov are pretty standard as most normal road cars will idle somewhere around 15-20 inhg vac

Either MAP sensor will work to give you a reference. The one on top of the engine is a slightly better option IMO. Other than which MAP, you are correct, just go from the MAP adapter to the top of the TiAL. If you are planning to use that adaptor for another boost reference, then you will need to get a "T" so that you can feed both sources from the one reference. Alternatively, like I said, there is a port on the hot pipes, below the MAP sensor on the pipe. You would do the same as what would be done with the MAP adapter.

Post by: AJP turbo on December 05, 2017, 09:51:14 AM
You need to connect your vac line to the map sensor on top on the intake manifold...the tip sensor is pre throttle body and won't see vacuum and you need vacuum reference and boost for bov

The boost helps hold the bov shut and the vacuum works against the spring pressure to open when you lift

I got it hooked up yesterday from the BOV to the sensor on the manifold. I checked my pipe and it doesn't have the port under the map sensor. But the BRA has an extra port I could use later to tie the wastegate.

So I haven't pulled the trigger on getting transmission fluid, I'm a bit lost on the part of the transmission. Do I buy 11qts and a transmission flush?  I've been reading that the filter can't be changed. So do only buy like 6 since the average to come out I've reads about 5qts? Can I use amsoil for the transmission or use the Ford sanctioned Mercon LV?

Use the blue label amsoil signature series ATF LV. It's meets the Ford spec and is way better due to the fact that it's a TRUE synthetic that uses group IV base oil like the motor oil.

I would buy like 6 qts and drain the case and refill because due to the bypass valve being closed because the fluid temp is cool you won't be able to flush out the converter.

Just noticed there are as many Miller lite cans as amsoil bottles.....Take it easy if you are changing the tranny fluid as well...Or there could be a 12 pack on the table lol

Sounds good. I wonder if Ford sells the tranny filter. Makes me wants to take it down for a full fluid and filter change. I can't find any info online on the Ford parts website about a tranny filter.

You won't find a filter because there isn't any.  There is a SCREEN that can be replaced or so I hear.  But to do that you have to crack open the case halves.  Will require way more than a 12 pk of beer to get THAT done.

Hey guys so I'm near ready to install my methanol but I got an issue that I just noticed. Since I bought the EPP hot pipes used from a forum member I didn't have a choice on a meth bung size and it came with a 1/4IN bung but the nozzles are 1/8 so I'm trying to figure out how to make it work. What do y'all recommend getting a reducer from 1/4in npt to 1/8npt or getting a new 1/8bung welded on the pipe, I called devil's own to ask around and they said the reducer might work but it could cause the nozzle to be recessed in the reducer and not mist correctly. Why is a 1/4 bung offered on the hot pipes when the nozzles are 1/8?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180119/4617993967f5e8e08e48cbc6bb3f604a.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180119/d2074c2565ee51cc622bd5a6e152a36a.jpg)

You could flare out the inside of the 1/4" reducer and maybe that would not hinder the spray pattern?
Title: Re: BoostfoSHO 2015 SHO Build thread!
Post by: ZSHO on January 19, 2018, 05:45:48 PM
Its an option of 1/4" or 1/8" Bung depending on the nozzle but if the orifice was small you can certainly drill it out and re-tapped it ! Dunno!

What size nozzle are you running?  hope it's not the SNOW Performance nozzle and would avoid @ all costs!
I would also take the necessary precautions as sometimes the Meth Bungs do not have the correct Thread pattern to install your nozzle! would verify confirm fitment!  Z
Title: Re: BoostfoSHO 2015 SHO Build thread!
Post by: BoostfoSHO on January 19, 2018, 07:54:52 PM
Well the pipes I got have the 1/4bung and my nozzles are 1/8th so they don't fit. The hole is way too big so I don't see how drilling and trapping would work. And yes they are snow nozzles but if that's an issue I can buy whatever brand you guys recommend. I already bought the devil's own top housing assembly for the pump and bought stainless braided lines with 4an fittings. Didn't end any leaks with the push in fittings. So what nozzles should I buy?
I'm thinking I'll just have to get the bung welded and cap the one the pipes came with.

Should I get devil's own or prometh nozzles? Also I haven't gotten into the size of cc yet. Which sizes should I go with?

From reading other posts I've concluded anywhere from 375cc to 500cc is enough so I've added their nozzles to my list to cover that gap now I just need a brand recommended, I'm leaning towards devil's own they seem to sell quality products judging from the few things I've already bought from them.

So upon further reading devil's own rates their nozzles at 200psi and prometh at 100psi, the pump I have from snow says it's a 300psi pump will this affect the rate of the nozzle spray?

I've also decided to spray 100% meth instead of the boost juice of that makes any difference. I just got a 5gal of VP m1

Well feels kind of sluggish doesn't respond as well as I remember, it maybe that I've been tuned for a couple months and got used to it since I dog on it pretty hard once or twice a day. But it feels like it's missing the punch. Maybe it's just me maybe I need to just install the methanol and see where it goes from there.

Well Brad has told me there's definitely something not right as you can see my wastegate shoots way up high towards the end of gear and I lose some boost even while the wastegate is working it's hardest. I have done several leak tests and fixed them. I have replaced the boost solenoid, I have inspected both turbos several times and they seem fine. No damage to fins. No shaft play. No excessive amount of oil. I have played with the wastegates and the diaphragms feel fine. I'm out of ideas short of replacing the turbos but that's not and option at the moment.
I was also thinking maybe I just got used to the car since I used to only drive it on weekends a few miles each day and now it's my daily driver 250miles a day back and forth to work.

Hey guys so I'm installing my meth and have run into an issue I was needing some help I have an issue with mounting the nozzle. I got my pipes used and they came with a huge bung for I don't know what but it's not meth. So I bought a tap and nozzle holder from devil's own and tried it out before installing and when I use the drill and tap holder it doesn't mist properly and it drips instead of misting. Here's a few videos so y'all can see what I'm talking about.

The nozzle is recessed into the holder it should be flush so the very tip shows and mist properly, how are you guys installing the nozzle on the pipes?
The pic below is the nozzle adapter I bought and it hides the nozzle so it doesn't mist or reach the air stream correctly.

I haven't taken it off I haven't had the time to wrench lately with work. I just popped the hood to add washer fluid and saw that. I still hear 8t functioning as it should but I'll take it off as soon as it get a chance in the meant time I'll garage the car.

Hey guys so I'm assuming because of my boost reference adapter my map sensor isn't picking up any cooling,so if I have to remove the BRA would it be ok to T off 3 line off of that one in the video ? I need sources for my meth controller, BOV, and wastegate regulator mod. Attached is a picture of my current set-up. I haven't cut the hoses to lebght yet waiting to see if it will stay this way or if I need to modify. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180402/c5681e6d3d10adc9d664e8fb00a06413.jpg)

Would something like this work if I want to tie into that line that's  being tapped in on the video ?

Seem like a great option to replace my boost reference adapter.

A vacuum tree would work fine but IMO is a lot more than you need. IIRC you have EPP hotpipes right? If so, there MAY be a 1/8 NPT fitting under your MAP sensor (mine had one when I got it but IDK when he started putting them there). If you do, you can run your BOV reference from that, since its pretty close (you can get an 1/8 NPT to 1/4NPT male to male fitting (straight fitting), then a 1/4NPT female to 1/4 hose barb  (90 degree), and run 1/4 line to the BOV. Then on the brake booster, they make a form of T that is actually a cross, you can use the cross block, with two 1/4 NPT x 5/8 Hose barb (if I recall size correctly) to tap into the stock hose, and two 1/4 NPT x 1/4 hose barb to run 1/4 hose to the wastegate regulator mod and the meth controller.

I have somewhat of a parts list and some pics littered throughout this thread: https://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,7171.msg109449.html#msg109449 (https://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,7171.msg109449.html#msg109449)

there were a few others that chimed in with other suggestions and parts/pics as well.

Good luck

A vacuum tree would work fine but IMO is a lot more than you need. IIRC you have EPP hotpipes right? If so, there MAY be a 1/8 NPT fitting under your MAP sensor (mine had one when I got it but IDK when he started putting them there). If you do, you can run your BOV reference from that, since its pretty close (you can get an 1/8 NPT to 1/4NPT male to male fitting (straight fitting), then a 1/4NPT female to 1/4 hose barb  (90 degree), and run 1/4 line to the BOV. Then on the brake booster, they make a form of T that is actually a cross, you can use the cross block, with two 1/4 NPT x 5/8 Hose barb (if I recall size correctly) to tap into the stock hose, and two 1/4 NPT x 1/4 hose barb to run 1/4 hose to the wastegate regulator mod and the meth controller.

I have somewhat of a parts list and some pics littered throughout this thread: https://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,7171.msg109449.html#msg109449 (https://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,7171.msg109449.html#msg109449)

there were a few others that chimed in with other suggestions and parts/pics as well.

Good luck
Yea I had read about the tap under the sensor but my pipes doesn't have it. I think they were the early gen. I've looked at alot of fitting and I could use a cross type but then I would have to add another T to get a total of 3 outlets. I figured this would be the best option since it comes with plugs for the remaining outlets. If I ever need more I could use them.

In that case my recommendation would be to get rubber line (flexible line, 3/8 (not 5/8 as I previously said)), and the correct fittings to replace the stock booster line (which is a hard plastic, and a PITA to but into/modify, and even worse to try and re-route. Run from the first fitting to your tree, and back, then add your additional sources on the tree (and mount it in the back of the bay against the firewall so it looks stock. The foxbody mustangs actually used a vacuum tree setup which you almost don't notice in the engine bay, but they are on the lower portion of the firewall basically next to the master cylinder and booster.

Ya that's my plan replacing the hard plastic kind with rubber hose and the tree in between or just cutting in the back end where it's already rubber and placing the tree there but it would be a cleaner install replacing the hard line so it can be screwed into the back fire wall

Why not tap the brake booster line?

Super easy peasy and from reading through the thread, you're over complicating this entire process.

FWIW, my brake booster line has been tapped and utilized as boost reference for nearly 7yrs now w/o any issues whatsoever.

As long as your connections are solid, and you you cap the unused outlets off (presuming you're purchasing that contraption you posted an image to).

Yes I purchased that manifold I posted. I bought 3/8id hose so I'm thinking I'm just gonna cut the hard plastic and replace it with hose. If I cut the hard plastic hose from the connector pictured can I just slide the 3/8th hose in ?

I wouldn't mess with the plastic connections, or anything associated with it. As Z points out.

Regarding your question pertaining to a check valve or what have you, to the right of where I tapped..... no clue. That is from the factory.

I would stay to the left of that, cut just what you need out of the booster line to fit the length of that doo-hickey you're buying, and call it a day.

Cut less, NOT more!

Yup, its the only line that has substantial size to use for taps IMO. All the other lines are just barely larger than the ports they feed, and IMO you'd mess with air flow more by tapping one of the 1/8 or 1/4 hoses than tapping the large 3/8 hose.

Regarding hard plastic to not hard plastic, IMO I would source the quick disconnect connectors used on either end, completely remove the stock line and save it for later use if needed, and make a custom line setup using new quick disconnect connectors and your 3/8 fuel line.

If you aren't going to go the new connector route, then as others said, cut near the middle of the booster line, DO NOT cut close to the connector as it will be a pain.

This is what I was wanting to do I think it would be the cleanest and also allows me to keep the factory hose for whatever reason I may need to return to stock. Thank you I'm gonna go searching for the quick connector now.

So after driving around everywhere even going to the dealer no one has that quick connector. I gave up and cut into the hard plastic.
The dealer has the whole pay for $60.0 I found it online for $40 so I'm just gonna order one to have a back up.

Now to test and start logging the meth pulls. Hopefully that fixed my cooling issue with the sensor not detecting. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180403/478d96a3f2187398291f5ded4a0b0312.jpg)

Seem like a great option to replace my boost reference adapter.

I just ran a few pulls and could definitely see a difference in temperature reading. As soon as I start spraying now it goes to ambient temperature or lower real quick compared to before it wouldn't even drop any. But that's just me I still have to wait and see what Brad sees in the datalogs I sent him.

Not certain on the HP/Torque estimates but the 1/4 mile looks reasonable based on your mods. I ran a little quicker at similar trap speeds with my SHO with the catless SW downpipes, hotpipes, AJP wastegate reg. mod, and a nice 3 bar tune on E20. I was still working out the regulator mod. Before downpipes and hotpipes I also ran a pretty similar time 12.87 @ 110 IIRC, with 15psi on a 93 tune.

Looks like that is estimated Flywheel HP btw, if that is at the wheels it is much higher than I would think. My car with the full modlist on E20 put down 369/451 for HP and Torque at the wheels on an AWD dyno.

I'm not so sure I'm that low. As usual with my SHO Brad and I are going through some hiccups in the tuning. Still have issues with the cooling and the LTFT and STFT.

Yes and yes but I put a 19lb spring combo so it's not opening any.  The cooling is almost non existent dips a bit then climbs back up.

Huh... are sure that the pump is activating off the boost reference?  I know you tested the pump... but did you verify the boost reference is working properly?

With the M1 you should have noticed the extra fuel in the fuel trims?

How's the knock?

Yes I've put boost in the hose at the controller and it turns on the pump it should. The knocking is detecting the extra is going to -4 right away the long term fuel is cutting back but then the short term replaces what the long term is cutting. Brad says he's never seen any meth SHO do this before.

Normally I would say check the WB's but the MAP sensor isn't picking up the meth cooling either....

Weird... have you tried going back to stock and seeing if it see the meth? Obviously switch out the sensor first..

No I haven't tried going to stock. So far I'm just going with Brad's recommendations.
I had ran the line under the car and thought it was getting heat soaked but I ran out inside now and it didn't make a difference.

No way it would be getting heat soaked in the line... the meth would literally have to evaporate out of the line at a high rate...

The pump is mounted below the tank yes? Is there anyway to verify that the pump is properly primed?

Dunno dude...

Could having a trunk install be the case of my issue? I have a 3 gallon tank always full so even if the pump is about 2ibches higher than the tap line in the tank there's enough pressure to feed the pump. I have a check valve before the nozzle as well. Only thing I don't have is a solenoid check valve.

Well I've unscrewed the line from the nozzle holder and placed it in an empty container and then added boost to the reference hose and it started the pump and meth came out the line at a decent rate. Idk how else to prime it. I don't have any loops where air bubble could hide in.

Dunno...not sure what else to check... the systems are really simple...you have verified that the nozzle is spraying correctly? Not just pulling the line off the nozzle?

That's the only thing I haven't checked is the way the nozzle sprays. It was a pain in the ass mounting the nozzle so it's near impossible to remove but I can change the insides of the nozzle which is the only component that makes the spray difference. I've got a new throttle to IC pipe hard pipe with the correct nozzle bung size and also that will remove the wastegate regulator mod.

Drianed my Catch can that I recently got, probably 2k miles. I think I need to do it sooner maybe every 1k. Love the drain hose. I don't even have to remove the can. It seems like it's alot so I checked my oil level still looks good. I'll inspect the turbos next time im under the car.
I'm due for an oil change asap I'm at over 5k miles but I garaged the car yesterday to stop adding to it. Just haven't had time to change it. I use AMSOIL as well. Maybe this Sunday I'll change it and also the RDU and PTU.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180423/2b5a6c84ff9f05daef0a51058eaffbce.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180423/01eb0b3f7536c5836ecd1c39aa00197d.jpg)

Installed my EBC rotors, changed the oil and changed the RDU fluid. Tuesday I'm changing the PTU fluid. I didn't feel like removing the downpipe today since I didn't have gloves I didn't want to get fiber glass all over my hands from the downpipes wrap.

Question. I want to get my calipers powder coated but is there a special way to remove the rubber boots from the calipers the ones on the Pistons and the ones on the bracket?  I don't know if it's ok to send them to get coated and baked with the rubber boots on.

Also if you remove all 4 calipers for the coating how did y'all manage to keep the brake fluid from draining? I bought some hose clamps but the hoses are pretty hard I didn't feel comfortable pinching them too much.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180429/6acf6ca0be4f2fab198c16c4b066b72e.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180429/d69b2fcd521f0dc028d40f984fb5c589.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180429/a1c994359f86e97c8999ee2412cf885a.jpg)

Any tips on removing the boots? Or do you think I should just paint them and call it a day... Maybe not worth the hassle for coating. Even though I found a place that does it for cheaper than the cost of the paint.

Make sure the seals are for the PP calipers.  They are brownish-orange in color.  The calipers are not a smooth surface, if I were to powercoat, I would sand them down first to make it worth it.

Not sure I trust Dorman with safety parts, but most people say not to put them in critical applications.  IDK.

So here's a bit of what I'm doing today.
Took apart the front calipers and sanded them down then took apart the rear but I couldn't get the Piston out I dont have the tools for it. So I'm just gonna take the front apart and sand them both down. For powder coating and the rear I'm just gonna paint with a brush kit caliper paint. The rear is hassle to take apart.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180501/35f644034a1d8624062ff9b760db56c6.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180501/d76d216969ad4851447332c024626ebc.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180501/db45b9881f615051c76959ab1ab9b51d.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180501/50b7ff9f87ed3b8f9c6273a176753c35.jpg)

So I'm looking at coilovers... And haven't found much info on spring rates. The bc coilovers website says 6k in front and 8k in the rear. Yet all the info I find online about coilovers have a high rate in the front then in the rear and most for lighter cars than the SHO are in the 10k range.

Long story short what's the norm for the SHO, I do about 90% hwy driving and a bit 1/4mile sometimes. I'm looking for comfort yet performance but that nice high end performance not a bouncy as hell ride.

Also changed the oil on my daily driver to AMSOIL from Royal purple.

Now just waiting for the calipers to get the car back on the road. PTU, RDU, engine oil. Transmission and brake fluid, All in AMSOIL. Gets expensive pretty quick. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180509/4c03f7f25ed3b023574fdf662c00ee98.jpg)

So of course with my luck on anything regarding mods to this car. They fucked up my calipers at the powder coat place. The idiots coated the inside of the Piston area and the inside where tree guide pins go. FML they said they can fix it and take the coating off those parts but I know I'm gonna have to buy new calipers.

I should have know better and just paint them at home. It so hard to find capable and experienced people and their jobs where the oil field is at. There is so much demand for employees that employers hire anyone and no training given cause of extremely high turn over rates and the one screwed is the consumer.
I specifically told them where not to coat and even taped off the Piston area and what do they do?  They remove my tape and cost the whole thing.

I got a quote at the dealer and it's $414 bucks for new calipers I hope they'll at least go halfs with me so I won't be out too much. But I have a feeling they're not even gonna help with a penny because they said they didn't specialized in calipers but we're willing to give it a try.

Do y'all think if they removed the coating and sanded the inside of the calipers they would be usable? I would think as long as the rubber seal and boot keeps the Piston inside and doesn't leak oil they should be good, no?

They should go more than half, if they cannot remove the coating and make them usable it is on them.  THEY are supposed to be the experts, if they have not powder coated calibers before it sounds like they should not have taken the job until they knew how.  Compounding that is that you went out of your way to prep for them and they  then messed it up.  May very well have been a new guy that didn't know or not trained yet making a bad decision on his own without asking.  It happens, BUT that does not mean YOU the customer should be out anything more than a longer wait while they fix it.

I work in a service industry and that is just the way it goes, if we make a mistake WE make it right, not push the $ back on customer.

Hoping for a good outcome for you!

Do y'all think if they removed the coating and sanded the inside of the calipers they would be usable? I would think as long as the rubber seal and boot keeps the Piston inside and doesn't leak oil they should be good, no?

They should go more than half, if they cannot remove the coating and make them usable it is on them.  THEY are supposed to be the experts, if they have not powder coated calibers before it sounds like they should not have taken the job until they knew how.  Compounding that is that you went out of your way to prep for them and they  then messed it up.  May very well have been a new guy that didn't know or not trained yet making a bad decision on his own without asking.  It happens, BUT that does not mean YOU the customer should be out anything more than a longer wait while they fix it.

I work in a service industry and that is just the way it goes, if we make a mistake WE make it right, not push the $ back on customer.

Hoping for a good outcome for you!
I sure hope they hear you. Around my area they don't care about the little guys they have contacts with oil companies and that's where 99% of their jobs are coming in from. They were already giving me an attitude about how the powder paint was worth more than what they charged me to coat them.

I should have know better and just paint them at home. It so hard to find capable and experienced people and their jobs where the oil field is at. There is so much demand for employees that employers hire anyone and no training given cause of extremely high turn over rates and the one screwed is the consumer.

in an aim to work things out amicably i would propose they buy these new calipers for you just to be done with it. much cheaper and no headache for them. and even if they won't deal with you at all i think it's you're easiest/cheapest solution.

So I know the calipers don't make a difference wether pp or not on a 13+ since it's only the pads. But I just want to make sure before I pull the trigger on these that they are correct since they state not performance package... Any help please?  Definitely cheaper than dealer or Amazon and even cheaper after returning the cores.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180518/e1f1a24d33a75002bfde1cd9ce2d5e44.jpg)

no no no.  the OEM front calipers do have AT LEAST 2 differences between the PP and non-PP types on 2013+.  First there is the drilled pistons, and second there is the higher temp seals.  There is no difference for 2010-12, except for pads.

RockAuto does have the PP calipers, their catalog can be funky so you have to search by part number (S5468 in this case)

My 2015 PP didn't have cross drilled Pistons so that's no biggie.  Would ordering those powerstop one still be ok though?

Strange, wonder why that changed ... 

Looks like the same part number tho going back to the image from RockAuto that you posted.  Amazon says it is PERFORMANCE CALIPERS, not PERFORMANCE PACKAGE CALIPERS, RockAuto says it doesn't work with the PP package.  I would call up Power Stop and ask them directly, TBH.  Not that I don't trust Fomoco :D but doesn't hurt to get the mfr to verify.

The seals definitely look orangeish on both?  The calipers mrhighcaliber got also did not have drilled pistons, but did have orangeish seals on them.

Could be, hell they did it on the map sensor by saving one screw maybe this is the same thing. Or could be the cross drilling made them prone to cracks like the rotors do.

Mine were orange seals for sure... Is mrhighcaliber the owner of that picture? Cause the person that posted that on FB said their replacement didn't have cross drilled either but we didn't talk about the seals.

yes he posted those pics originally on shoforum when he was upgrading his gen 4 brakes.

Centric does list 2 different part numbers for the pistons, but of course, no specifics given

Brake Caliper Piston   Steel and Aluminum Caliper Pistons   SHO   exc Perf Pkg   Front    146.48046

So I just picked up the bad calipers from the coater so I can use as a core. They paid $350 out of the $400 bucks for new calipers. So I guess I'm out time and $50 bucks better than nothing though.

Most definitely specially since I was expecting around $200 tops.
I called power stop to verify the seal stuff and they were no help at all. They just said it's factory rebuild. I still went ahead and ordered through Rock Auto at $330 after core return so not bad at all considering I'll have $20 bucks left.

Do you think the seals are really that important wether they're from a pp or non PP? I mean I don't track the car at all just maybe 1/4 here and there and some street pulls. There's a bunch of ppl running out there being non PP

Probably not under your stated conditions, but it's like having marble and then deciding to replace with vinyl (to me).  If I have a higher performance trim, I expect to maintain that accordingly.  It is possible tho that Ford has quietly done away with the differences.  But at least the seals are still different per mrhighcaliber's pics.

I had one pic I was able to blow up and look at.

Apparently I need a photographer mod, lol.

I was able see through the hole in the caliper to see the piston which is NOT drilled.

I was unable to see the seals due to the angle.

Having had both types of brakes I don't think anyone will notice a difference unless the car is being tracked.

Hey guys so I'm still having methanol problems. I called devil's own and they say that for my set up I should be using a no10 nozzle which equals to 940mil/min at 200psi... I'm currently running a no5 nozzle rated at 520/mil/min at 200psi... According to both tuners who I've tried to get my methanol tuned with my methanol is non existent. It does read in the KR part but as far as cooling goes nothing temps keep creeping up. I've tested the pump and it does spray progressively according to boost. I've taken the nozzle off the pipe and activated the controlled and I get a real heavy fan spray. Can y'all tell me what size nozzles is the norm? I am in Texas and temps have been above 100° and at 3k elevation. The devil's own guy said that alone is enough to be using the nozzle no10

At this point... I would use what
Devils Own recommends... worst case is you over spray a bit but it will tell you if you are cooling off the IAT sensor....

See... here is the deal... the only place your meth will hit that adjusts intake temp is that 3BAR sensor. So if you are monitoring IAT2 then that is THE sensor.....

I say try what DO is telling you...

OR go back to a 2BAR sensor and see if that sensor picks up cooling? Perhaps your 3BAR is not working properly....

Are you still running the WG mod?


Basic trouble shooting before going crazy....

Yea I'm gonna try what devil's own told me first. I am reading iat2s so it's the sensor but it's not picking up any cooling at the moment. And no I'm not using the wastegate regulator mod any more I bought a new charge pipe to get rid of that elbow and have a proper nozzle placement.

Sounds like all that's left is to up the spray....I am unfamiliar with DOs kit... can you adjust the pump to spray more without changing the nozzle?

This is why people should just order the Alky kit from Alky Control... it just works... every time....

I have a Frankenstein kit builts from devils own nozzles hoses pump housing and fittings. And snow pump and controller. I think my system has always been working I was just under the wrong idea of nozzles I'm sure going to a higher no7 I'm sure it will solve the problem 🤞

Why not go to the 10 they recommend rather than going for the minimum?  If you are going to do it, do it right and make sure you have the meth spraying that they recommend rather than scraping by and wondering.  Minimum is not the goal imho when it comes to kits like this.  I love to save a buck, but not at the sake of undersizing things.  It's $25, get the recommended make sure it is dialed in and working as expected, then you can think about dropping the size to 7.  You COULD have an issue elsewhere, but with undersized nozzle there is no way to know.

I got both nozzles the 7 and 10 I'm gonna log with both. I'm sure I'll stick with the 10 cause the outside temps have been over 100° everyday.

Hmmm... are you still running that add on for vacuum line on top of the intake?

It positions the map sensor up higher..

No I removed that back when you told me that may be the issue... I'm leaning towards not enough spray. Maybe nozzle too small.

Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

If it is in fact not enough spray then the flow rating of the nozzle is way off as is the gauge you have that reports the flow. Because according to the nozzle rating you are spraying a TON. In a way you can kind of care less about the cooling if the knock sensors were adding spark due to the octane. And if you were showing expected STFT's and getting the spark added but just didn't see the cooling it wouldn't be a huge deal and you could guess that it was an atomization issue.

But you have little change to the STFT's AND little to no cooling....I can't imagine a way you are under nozzled with the flow you are saying you have and not seeing a change in STFT's.

I've seen 200-300cc/min give STFT's in the .8X range.

I just bought a gauge to test once and for all the pump and see what PSI it's spraying vs what the rating on the nozzles is. I've tested the pump several times and it sprays I just need to make sure now that it's pumping out at least 200psi to match the rating on the nozzles.

Hey guys so I've been having a bit more knocking than I'm comfortable with between +2 and +3

I have been getting code p2098
P2098 Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Lean Bank 2 what could be the cause of this p2098?

Is that the code that is supposed to pop up for catless downpipes?
I thought for catless is code p0420 or something like that.

Quick question. When spraying meth which of the fuel trims should be the one cutting back fuel the LTFT or STFT ?

I've noticed my LTFT drop to .80 while my STFT remains at 1.0 is this correct or should it be the other way around?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180619/2152fede8b54d631540b2b4347bac93b.jpg)

So it's been a while since I posted but I've got a few things since I was last here.
I finally got the meth figure out and tuned I went to the track with a GH meth tune and my best was 12.6 with a 6k DA at 95degrees.
A bit disappointed honestly I was hoping lower 12s but I guess with that DA can't really expect much more. I've seen other SHOs run 12.8 with just a 3bar tune and a drop in.
So I took a 600 mile trip and I noticed that on long distance after parking over night the next morning on start up there was a huge cloud of white smoke smelled like nothing but burning oil. I checked my oil and noticed it was a bit overfilled  so maybe it was burning excess oil because it only did it that one time. But that was enough to get me to do the following...
I ordered about a week ago the xdi30 hpfp and ATP +2, turbosmart wastegates (not sure if I'm gonna end up using them or not). Waiting on pump and Turbos to arrive. I already sent my cores and ATP has received them now I'm just impatiently waiting.

I'm also considering getting the DW injectors, do you guys think there will be any benefit to getting the injectors as well?

How many miles on your SHO.  If the numbers are getting up there, you could possibly justify dropping some for the DW injectors as a way to get new parts in there.  But full usability probably will come with a built block or all out E85 setup.

I've only got 42k miles... Built motor is not to far down the line maybe sometime next year... I didn't go with the xdi60 because I was told the cam can't handle full E85... So I didn't go that route maybe I should have done some more researching?

With a properly upgraded fuel system, I believe you can run E85, if I am remembering EcoPowerParts' Flex buildout correctly.  Longevity is a completely untested factor though at least on the transverse platform AFAIK.  The big brouhaha with E85 has been variable quality at the pump, and actual pumping limitations of the stock fuel system. 

Because EPP had a custom port/direct injection setup, a custom ECU was required.  Would be sticking with DI here, so I dont see the need for a custom ECU unless there are limiting tables in play.

Maybe it's something to look at I know he's got an upgraded fuel system for sale in his website I'll look into it later. For now the Turbos and hpfp will do till I get the built motor.

Mainly you would need, and again, I might be misquoting/not an expert, an upgraded intank fuel pump basically an auxiliary fuel pump, and the fuel lines rated for full flow e85.  Then the rest of your plans should fall into place.

NOTE: The cam lobe for the fuel injection pump must be at Bottom Dead Center (BDC) for the fuel injection pump installation.

Remove the fuel injection pump roller tappet.
- Inspect the fuel injection pump roller tappet, refer to Fuel Injection Pump Roller Tappet Inspection in this section.
Remove the fuel injection pump mounting plate.
Remove the RH front wheel and tire, refer to Section 204-04 .
Position aside the RH fender splash shield, refer to Section 501-02 .
Using the crankshaft pulley bolt, turn the crankshaft until the fuel injection pump cam lobe is at BDC

StealBlue can do this with his eyes closed :D

I have installed several DI pumps on this car... the only reason I can find they want the lobe BDC is to make it easier to install the pump....

On the bottom of the pump is a spring, when installing if the lobe doesn't have the flat side up, the pump sits higher... so it makes it difficult to tighten down. You can do it, you just need to take your time and tighten a small amount on each side of the pump to bring it down flush.

You should do that anyway when you install it... I have not yet ever set BDC and haven't had a problem yet....

Don't "push down " the spring... the bolts are long enough to start it without pushing the pump down...

So as I'm impatiently waiting for my ATPs going on 5 weeks now.

I installed my aFe throttle body spacer and I like it I feel like it really makes a difference for a cheap quick mod

I ordered some Verde axis v99 wheels 20x9 wrapped in some nitto n555g2 275/40R20 and some BC coilovers to go with it all. Hopefully there's no issues with fitment. From what I've read around there shouldn't be.

Ordered some hub centric rings which I believe are the correct size idk if they'll be needed but got them just in case.

Any opinions or thoughts?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180911/81fc25a5f5d3ebd0709c533f30895ea8.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180911/a41aac50a77d7c786c07dae818971f5f.jpg)

On another note, I installed my hpfp but no one had been able to tune it, something about SCT doesn't have the software. So that really sucks. I don't if I'm the only one experiencing this issue as I haven't heard anyone else mention this before

I think you misunderstood my email. The software is perfectly fine with SCT. Waiting for values to use. Waiting on information from manufacturer of pump.

I'm sorry I didn't mean software I meant parameters for reading it. But it's not just you I have gotten the same response from 2 other tuners.... What I'd like to know is am I the first one to encounter this? Supposedly at the point all that can be tuned is current but can't adjust it for higher pressure. So why are people buying the hpfp if it can't be ran at a higher pressure like it's supposed to do.

Gearhead, Unleashed, and BCB are already tuning that pump with SCT.....

Matt has customers running at 2600 psi iirc... he has figured out how to get the pump to work properly...

The issue according to him is that none of the other tuners have figured out to increase the psi of the pump.

I'm running the LMS HPFP with perfect fuel pressure on an E30 tune.

So far with unleashed, gearhead I just get a max of around 2300psi with Brad I don't get any high pressure it's only the in-tank pump that activates and I get 90psi max and the cat doesn't go above 3k rpm, Matt and Brad told me they don't have what's needed to tune it. Matt said he can only tune voltage but that im not taking advantage of it to make it run at the higher pressure that's capable of. So it's basically like a stock hpfp.

Once you have the tune parameters you can run 5000 psi if you want...2300 or 2600 is just a request away...

Just a matter of having the parameters from the mfg.

That makes no sense... Or Matt was lying to me which I doubt.... so you are holding 2300psi... are you getting an fuel pressure dips? It's flowing 35% more fuel as well...

I'm figuring it's like a turbo right? 2300psi but 35% more fuel gives you a lot more to work with...

15psi on a small turbo is not the same as 15psi on a big turbo...  Volume comes into play...

So I'm fixing to start working on my sound system
I'm just gonna upgrade the speakers and add a 12in sub. Nothing fancy just better components and a small box for the sub since I don't wanna add too much weight.
My knowledge of sound systems and components is very limited,so far all I got is the speaker sizes.
I'm probably gonna buy everything and take it somewhere to get it all installed.
Which do y'all recommend to bypass the factory amp

I'm probably gonna do the install and remote tune them just to daily drive it then once IC and intake arrive install them and drove over to Dyno tune it. The coil overs will probably be the last cause I'll have to get an alignment after and around my area I have to schedule the alignment shop

Does anyone here have the ATPs with turbos smart wastegates? Is it even possible to upgrade the wastegates on the ATPs? Any pictures of the set up and or idea how to properly adjust the wastegates would be appreciated.

Edit: I found out the ATP wastegate is already an updated version so no need for the turbosmart

It will require a Tune update IIRC! Provided you work with your tuner! The stock IWG actuators are 4lb springs and have a good amount of preload set from the factory.
The Turbosmart-IWG are 7lb springs AFAIK! Dunno. Best of luck and indeed look awesome.  Z

The ATPs have a bent rod design on their wastegate and the turbosmart or factory wastegates doesn't that's what my main concern is. I'm sure if it installation was possible then matt could tune them. But Mike B told me the ATPs already have an upgraded wastegate to match the bigger turbos.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180927/7463a1932b4ea458efb8940042b93568.jpg)

They've finally arrived. Bc coilovers with Swift spring upgrade in the front and rear spring, which I find weird because every other place I looked only offered the Swift spring upgrade for the front. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180927/246cbc987918d89f9fbf2a12f8773a78.jpg)

Interested to hear of your experiences with these, as I will likely have to consider these very same options (& spring upgrades) when it comes time to replacing my Megan's.

Plus I have the added weight of the sound system now to boot.

Part #'s would be great if you don't mind providing those for the community's edification. TIA. :thumb:

At least the fronts will swap in SWIFTly for you :D  so much easier on 2013+ compared to 2010-12.  Take the opportunity to inspect hubs and clean/grease as needed.

Finally installed the ATPs and changed spark plugs and brake pads. Fresh oil as well.

8 hours total with a few breaks in between. Didn't need to drop the subframe.

Once you remove the axle and the bracket that holds the axle... The one shown in the last picture is not hard to remove the turbo just remove the heat shield like in the front turbo then remove the bolts from the turbo to manifold and it slides right out. The front one took about hour and half to 2 hours the rear one did take about 3 then the rest was all just putting it back together

So after my first log Matt is telling me I have a boost leak. I'm gonna go over all my clamps and connections.

do you guys have any way of pressure testing the system to test for leaks?

Since you changed the rear turbo,check the waste-gate hose coming from the IWG to your boost reference solenoid for starters...
Check all the clamps to verify there fully secure from the Charge pipes and CAC plus Rear turbo Piping. Z

Story of my life with this car. No matter what I do its never right. I'm probably not gonna work on it till maybe next Sunday  for now it'll just be parked.
After asking around and finding out last year on my own that trying to plug everything and pressurising the system is near impossible I'm probably gonna do break boost and spray soapy water as per mike b recommendation.

Any ideas on what can be causing my wastegate duty cycle to run extra high? In my stockers I was running wgdc of 99% with the ATPs I'm at 89% but barely boosting 14ish lbs... I've inspected for leaks and also replaced the boost solenoid. I'm out of ideas I thought replacing my turbos would fix the issue but it didn't change anything. I'm near the point of getting rid of the car I can't seem to get it running right no matter what.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yea I decided to just keep it cause I'd be upside down and didn't want to take the hit so I figured I'd still go all out and finish the build. And I'm gonna adjust the wastegates and cross my fingers that it fixes my issues.

Finally got the chrome deleted, roof and wing wrapped and also got the whole car, windows and wheels ceramic coated. Enjoying the new look for sure... There are a few spots on the wrap that make me wish it was paint instead but it still looks good. Hopefully in the summer heat the wrap will mold better (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190102/e60b0c77b5693962f83482ecd8ad424a.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190102/875914cacccd741e2571a975b4a0c256.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190102/47f5cdc028004fc5eaf4df3f0bacdc83.jpg)
