Well here is part of it. I got the wire harness for the oxygen sensors, maf, and injectors. The new map sensor, the air adjuster thats the orange thing on the left. I got the ecm for the motor, mass air meter, oxygen sensors, and piping to hook up the maf meter. What i don't have yet is the tranny controler and wire harness it is supposed to be here next week? And i don't have the instructions for the wire harnesses that they forgot to send. I'm not too sure about these people?

 

the suspense is killin me dangit

 

Well i have done as much as i can but not with out my own mods. I moved my over flow tank so i could get my air filter closer to the in coming air. I still have to build me a shield to seperate the cooler air from the fan. The only thing i don't like about this is not knowing how much good it did. But i think it looks good any way.

 

I got the air filter set up all done and i drove it today. I now from all the testing i've done in its present form i'm sure it hurt performance but man it sounds good. Nothing sounds better than an open element except for a set of flows. Maybe by this time next week i will have some real results.

 

Well i have some results i'm just not where i want to be. I got the maf kit installed it was pretty strait foward remove all wires from the ecm connector that go to the tranny and some other various wires. Install the 2 new oxygen sensors and new wire harnes. Install the wire harness for the injectors and wire them to the ecm connector and wire in the maf pig tail. This is a pretty simple install so far other than welding in the new bungs and building the air intake. I have started it and it runs but it needs to be tuned.
Now for the part i don't like i have yet to get my tranny contoller so this install is far from being over. I have tried to get a hold of them for three days i sent them an e-mail strait to the point today and i finally got a response. So maybe i will have a controller next week so far i am not impressed with these people. I hope there product speaks for them. But now that i have seen how they did the maf kit i am pretty sure i could of built this with the help of a good junk yard. Except for the tranny controller and i could have ordered that from baumann my self i am pretty sure that is where they are getting it from. I am not tring to discourage anyone from buying any thing from them im just saying they could be more involved with there customers and let them know what is going on. So now i am back to playing the waiting game.

 

Would you be able to post pictures of these bungs you speak of. I've never welded anything and am not quite sure what you are speaking of when you mention these. Also You said this kit can pretty much be built from a chunk vehicle. Would it be possible do you think to just scratch build something of the same quality. If its at all possible is their a wiring diagram for this setup that you just installed on your truck. I might try to scratch build my own harness if you have this info. Thanks man.

 

The "Bung" that is being refered to is a round piece of metal like a pipe with threads on the inside. In this build there was a hole drilled into the exhaust pipe, then a bung welded over the hole so the AFR could be screwed into the pipe and get its reading. Any good auto parts store or exhaust shop will have them. I think they are around $4.

I had just discovered this thread rescently and love it. There is a wealth of good info hear. I am now convinced that underdrive pulleys work and I am ordering a set within the next few months. I was wondering if you knew the part number for the adjustable fuel pressure regulator as well ?

I have a one off mod on my truck as well and I wonder if there are any performance gains with it. I have a 1990 w/ a 7.5L. The truck is a mud truck. It has a body lift which I am not a big fan of. Past expirience with body lifts and four wheeling gave me problems with certain parts . Clutch cables and accelerator cables and dont get me started on steering linkage. Anyways, these problems weren't on Ford trucks. Not wanting any problems with the accelerator linkage, I had a 3 inch tall plenum spacer built . I did this to put the throttle linkage back in its origional hieght. Its made out of aluminum . My friend built it for me with $75 of aluminum and around 10 hours work ! Its on the truck ,but I have yet to pay him for any of it. I am almost scared to ask what the final bill is. The nice thing is we have talked about adding Bungs to the spacer for NO2 if I want.

Now have I noticed any performance gains with this mod? I am not sure. They could just be in my head, but it seems to have a little more umph (thats a technical word) at 2500-3000 rpm. Tunnel ram effect, or just slightly cooler air,not sure. I have a couple pics and I will be glad to post if you want to see them.

I had the KN FIPK deal on mine for a while. I took it off and put the factory air box back on with the I6/460 tube and KN drop in filter. My truck runs much better like this and gets better MPG too. I think those open element air filters don't work that good esp on computer controlled vehicles.

I did think the open element fitler setup did look and sound cool, but thats about it. It also gets dirty much quicker.

 

monstertrucker the part number for the regulator from summit is BBK-1707. If you got pics of your spacer lets see them as for a performance gain. From the testing i have done the results would be so little i doubt you would fill it 2-3 hp or tq would be all. From what i have seen you can not add any more air to the SD system it just can't handle it. flitefreak, monstertruck explained it well bungs are nothing more than a nut welded on your exhaust pipe to screw a oxygen sensor into.

That link is before the install. After install is below:

Thanks for the part number on the pressure regulator. Underdrive pulleys are now on the future mods list as well as the regulator. Truth be told, the regulator and gauge will probably be next unless something else comes up. Other one off mods in the near future are a hood scoop and air filter relocation to take advantage of the air coming in the hood scoop. The hood scoop is a long story but It will be a full function mod. Plus being a mud truck, I want the air filter as high up as I can get it.

Any more info on this yet? I'm concidering swapping in a 460 or larger into my former half ton... since I'd have to swap it all over to mass air anyways, I'm thinking more cubic inches would also benefit me!

 

Not yet still waiting. Good looking rig blueoval since you are starting from scratch and i doubt you are planing to swap a e4od right? I would get a 89-93 stang wire harness and ecm and put that on the 460 it is that easy. If i new what i know now i would have went a different route. All the way back to the engine build that i really wish i could change. I would have used earlier style heads and converted an air gap intake over to efi i think the stock efi intake really kills these motors. There is a guy over on 460ford.com with a 528 way bigger heads and the same maf i got i was very surprised to see his dyno numbers. 299-466 this is respectable but i would think it would make more power than that. Just some food for thought.

 

Thanks. I was honestly thinkin of just throwing a few things on my small block and doing the MAF conversion... but got to thinkin if I'm swapping to MAF on the small block... it wouldn't really take much to do it on a 460, and that's reall what I need. I'm just looking for something that's going to make this titanic of a pickup fun to drive, and I'm going to need some cubes to do that. Do you know if all your gauges can work with the mustang setup?

 

Oh and I've already got the E40D, but I've got WAY more aftermarket in there then E40D so it SHOULD be fine

 

Well i finnally got the tranny controller on the truck and it is up and running. Last night at this time i didn't think it would ever run again and i was ready to burn it to the ground. The wire harness for the tranny controller was a total night mare i did't get any pics of it and i hope to never see it again.
After i got the controller tuned and the shift points worked out. It did run better and felt like it had a little more power but not much more, but it did idle a ton better and do it on its own that was a major A+. Setting the shift points on the controller is very easy. It took me about 30 minutes of driving to get the program where i wanted it. If i had stock tires i could for sure catch a second.
When i got home i started playing with the timing and fuel pressure looking for the power that i was still missing and i started to put my 61mm throttle body on. I was wishing i had ordered the tweecer set up that would definetly help out. But since i use to play with mustangs and this truck has a stang ecm. I just so happen to have a old school Andersonford PMS tuner so i put it on the truck and started tuning. And what a deference it made i don't know how much power i found but i found it. The truck pulls hard through the gears where before the tuner at 4000 rpm to 4500 1-2 shift went flat made no power. I worked that out and it now has no flat spots it just pulls. I can't wait to get it on the dyno now so i can know for sure. In the morning on the way to work i marked off a spot between 2 signs the best i could get before was 67-68 mph so i am going to try it in the morning and hope for the best.
