Right now I'm using an sct chip and tuning program. My tuner right now is the only on dealing with the tune. Mostly because the chip has multiple positions so we can load a lot of tunes at one time. After we get the final tune I'm going to switch everything to a moates chip. Then I could tune myself.

 

How difficult would it be to take off all the emissions stuff i have now, i hear it hurts mileage really bad. And what would i have to do to get the check engine light to stay off exactly? Wouldnt mind cleaning up the motor a bit and making room for future addons

 

Its easy taking everything off. I did have to grind down the lower altenator bolt because the belt would rub alittle. but after i figured out what belt size i needed to by pass the air pump it was easy. As far as mileage i dont really know. this truck is built for power not mileage but its not to bad when im out of boost. but as soon as i start hitting max boost the fuel goes quick. The check engine light is turn off in the tune all we have to do is turn off all the emissions stuff in the computer. The engine bay looks alot better with all the emissions stuff off, and hasnt effected the way the truck runs. the 351 throttle body i put on messes with it more but once the tune is redone there shouldnt be any problems.

 

if the emissions equipment is working properly the loss in HP is hardly measurable.

 

Awesome. Either way i was looking into just something to do to my truck till the school gets back with me on my budget. Think i will remove the emissions and see if the local shop and start to help me tune and get things set.

Let us know when you have the video!!

 

I shot all the video but the computer that I edit with crashed so it might take longer to get up but it seems like it will be some good video. I'll get better after tune. Even with the imperfect tune it will still hit the 135 speed limiter with no problem.

 

Alright. Well hope the tune goes well and hope to see the video you have soon. Right now my truck wont start... time to start diagnosing haha!

 

finally have my computer back up and running working on video now. The driving part I'm not going to put in it because the exhaust is so loud you can't hear the turbo. so im going to just do a teaser for now and after the tune I'll put the camera in a different spot and see if I can get more of the turbo sound if not then I'll wait till i get a muffler for it. The truck doesnt sound bad just alittle to loud for me. I like hearing the turbo but now since i took off the cats its hard to hear it. I also finally got my meth injection kit and am putting it on the truck this week and maybe have it done this weekend.

 

Cool, where are the links for the video?

 

Awesome... ill be looking forward to the video link! Just got approval to start my project!!!!!!!

 

Here is the video that i promised. Its short but i will put a better one together when i get it tuned. Turbocharged 91 F150 4.9L Teaser - YouTube

 

If at all possible...A close up video of the engine running, and inside the cab while driving...That'd be awesome...

 

I'll have a video of all angles. After its tuned, this was just to get a video up.

 

Very nice. Now a bit curious when starting it why the starter sounded like it struggled to turn over. Unless its the set up you have. I would rather my truck did that as it started. Makes it sound mean as hell when it turns like that than kicks in and sounds bad ***.

 

Dead battery / Barely tuning over sounds mean?
