ok - that is fantastic!! Have you done any dyno runs or track runs to get an idea of the power and times you can get?

 

Not Yet, I still have to come up with a PVC system that works with the boost, Right now I can't stay in the boost long because of the factory PVC system. I had back surgery 3 months ago and i'm still recovering. I read somewhere where a guy had a 2wd EX and it made right at 250 RWHP stock. I forget the torque it put down. Hopfully before winter I will get it done.

 

That's some sick ***** right there!! I freaking love it!

It's too bad your wife wants you to get rid of the setup. It would be nice to follow your build as you work out the bugs and kinks in the system.

Cutting and welding together a set of L headers is a novel idea. They can be easily found too because a lot of us L owners have upgraded to long tubes.

Reminds me of a few years back when the first turbo systems were being fabricated for the L's. Lotta bugs to get worked out.

Stewart, It was Lightning intake manifolds I was cutting in half. The V10 is the same engine as the 5.4 just add 2 more cylinders. So what I am doing with the intakes is cut the back 2 cylinders out of one and the front 2 out of the other. Put them together and you will have a lightning intake with 5 ports on each side. That will bolt right down to the V10 heads. Then the rest is fabricated from there.

 

Here is a terrible video of the Ex blasting down the road behind the house. Trust me, there will be better ones to come

I want!! I want!! I want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yea, it's great. My buddy was just telling me if I can get the PVC system worked out and keep it from going lean it will be safe at 10lb of boost. I can't wait..

 

That's what I get for not reading S L O W E R.......LOL.

Who is tuning the beast for you?

Stewart

 

I think that's pretty cool, hope you get it all worked out and don't take it off.

 

I email tuned it with a guy in California (www.tricktuners.com) It only took me 5 datalogs to get it where it is now. His name is Joe. If you get a chance to go to his site read his bio.. one slick guy...

 

SCT 2, Predator, a different hand held?

Inquiring minds wanna know!

Stewart

 

How did you guys get your vehicle info and photos in your post? do I not have enough post to do that yet?
Thanks

 

I found a used unlocked SCT Xcal II. It worked excellent. I purchased a cable to take my Wideband and EGT readings..

 

I used to use the Predator to download tunes into my L, but when I switched tuners (human tuner), he didn't use Diablosport programming, so I had to switch to the Xcal II.

I dunno if you have to have over 25 posts in order to have a signature, like you do to use PM's, but maybe you do.

Once you hit 25, look in your User CP and see if the sig button in the left toolbar shows up.

Ok. I'll check it out once I hit 25. Everyone in my area uses the SCT.
