I am finally done with my motor (351W) and wanted to know if there is a way to get it on a dyno since it is EFI and computer controlled.

Would a dyno shop typically have something to test motors that are computer controlled? Just looking for a way to test the motor before I put it in the truck.

Thanks.

 

Nice looking engine man. To run it on an engine dyno you will probably need to get a harness and everything to run it on the stand. I doubt they will have everything to run your engine off of. I'd just wait, get it in the truck and running good... Then once it's running good and the tuning feels good, put it on a dyno and see what it makes at the wheels.

 

I'd say it depends on how well equipped the dyno shop is. Is the truck an auto or stick? If you do wait to get it in the truck, auto's are tricky on the dyno to keep them in 3rd, I'm dynoing my Lightning tomorrow, but have a tuner to disable the 3-2downshift.

 

Jack Roush has one , yeah put on a dyno jet when its in , they can tune it on there to...

 

Such a pretty engine... it deserves a better home - pops the Bronco's hood open - .

 

hahahahaha

 

It's an auto and I also have the Baumann transmission controller (not sure if you are familiar, simple google search will find their site) and I may be able to disable the shifting there.

 

What's the specs on this engine if you don't mind me asking?

 

I've been asked before and instead of typing it out again, here's the link if you don't mind following it - https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post10664694

if you were asking for something different, let me know, would be happy to provide

 

nice motor, you need to move your pcv valve and have it enter to the underside middle of the upper intake. you dont want it plumbed into the very back of intake otherwise it will cause issues.

i take it your going to run mass air and would be best in the truck to get it spot on. I say trailer it to the dyno shop and let them get it spot on right away.

 

Good to know about the PCV valve. I will check on that.

Yes, it is MASS air (converted from SD) but there is one problem with installing the new motor and taking it to the dyno: when I converted from SD to MASS Air, the motor would start but only run at about 500 RPM and was running rich...so something was obviously wrong. The motor was working before the upgrade with the SD system. After a few months of troubleshooting, I had to move on to rebuilding the motor (the thought being that the old motor wouldn't run under the MASS Air setup because it was is really poor shape [head gasket leak and some other things]).

So when I install the new motor into the truck and if it doesn't run, I won't be sure if it is the MASS Air conversion that still needs to be fixed or if something would be wrong with the way I put the motor together. That's why I wanted to see if I could dyno it before I put in the new motor.

 

The computer will need to be tuned to the 30# injectors and MAF , is the meter you have set to run the 30 lbs injectors ??..

 

did you buy a conversion harness or what?

 

Lew52 & Kemicalburns-

I use a sampling tube on the MAF sensor to adjust for the 30# injectors. But after the conversion, when everything was stock, I was testing with the correct sampling tube. I think I need to get a new one for the 30# injectors (not sure if I have it already).

The conversion kit I got was from IST (interactive systems and technologies). There is a 'truck kit' on their page that I called and talked to them about. It has a fuel injector harness, MASS air computer, the senor, new O2 sensor, and a couple of other things. Since the first attempt at the conversion didn't work out, I had thought about buying the wiring harness from them that they sell. But I haven't decided that yet. The only part of the MASS air system that wasn't replaced is the computer and the wiring harness. I am pretty sure my work is good, I have checked and rechecked things MANY times.

 

I went to 30# injectors on my 302 , with a pro m mass air meter that was calibrated for the injectors , it ran fine but after a good dyno tune with a custom chip it was so much better , the stock timing curve and AF ratio just wont work with a built motor...
