I haven't had it on the dyno yet. But seat of the pants is remarkable over stock, much quicker than a raptor. On e85 its freaking scary. Now I wouldn't upgrade the turbos without the other power adders that help the engine breath (ie: downpipes, intake, charge pipes intercooler, and the correct...
Just the tune. I have a 93 tune that I can load when e85 isn't available.
I have the 3.5l direct injectors waiting in the wings but I haven't needed them so far.
Very interesting. I just ordered the engine wiring harness for my 22 BL SAS 2.7. I kept getting wastegate Position Sensor A Circuit trouble codes. It would disappear for a few days and then reappear. Finally It became a daily thing. The turbo boost is cut to nearly nothing every time the code...
I upgraded to the Full Race - Garrett Power Max larger turbos and I believe a couple of others on here have done the same. Makes a large difference especially with a ZFG e85 tune.
That's them. The places that blow apart are where two straight runs couple together like on top of the engine discharge from the driver side turbo and the bigger pipe in front of the engine going to the intercooler (the most difficult SOB to get to). It takes them a couple of months to work...
It's not fun but it's doable. It's easier if you take the tire off unless you have a lift kit. I have a 2" lift and I managed to keep the tire on. The worst part is you have to take the belt off of the a/c compressor and loosen up the bolts to get to one little bolt that holds the turbo oil...
It's like a two-stroke dirt bike when it comes on the pipe.....IYKYK!
Seriously, I can now say I don't need or want anymore power. It's almost scary how fast it is. You can definitely out run the suspension's capability on the road.
I've been running the CVF for about the last 30k+ miles with the Whipple IC. I like them except now that I have added the bigger turbos I do have occasional problems with the clamp joints blowing apart at max boost. I would still recommend them.
22 Badlands SAS, 69,900 miles. My first crack was in the upper pass. side corner at 2-weeks old. Along the way I have added a crack in the lower driver corner and 5 or 6 chips in the middle of the pass. side. So far nothing in the line of sight that bothers me. Still on the original glass.
