Also, I wouldnt doubt if that increased fuel pressure is also aiding in combustion and thus reducing knock. This thing is an animal. Never did I think I'd allow 18* on pump gas for a Gen1 Eco.

Hats off to both Ryan's for letting me be part of this.
My read on this is that with so many pieces to the puzzle, and the various options when deciding on a "build", there's a considerable spread between possible outcomes.

In this case the choices have resulted in a nice sweet spot. It's a happy motor, from the sound of things.

It's actually adding timing. He's on individual knock right now. So + is adding :). She wants more....
Yes I know, the log looks very familiar! ;) I just saw the -1 was lowest value, not sure where that is in relation to rpm/gear etc. I can see it adding timing. Just amazing.

You have a 35% but stock heads. if that theory is true, you should be able to run more timing that a stock hpfp?
 
I took the day off to get a couple things done on the truck.

New OEM windshield installed
Front window re-tinted
Installed a ethanol gauge to do some experimenting with. Hoping that I can get the sensor installed early next week. Still need the right adapter.
DId you watch the people do it? Hopefully you didnt have the debacle like I did. Even with a hand tool, the paint under the windshield is damaged, they have to put this primer epoxy on the scrapes with a brush before reinstalling window otherwise it will rust.

In my cause it was just all fucked, makes me mad thinking about it. Had to use touch up paint all on upside edge and a pillers, I think I showed some pics in my thread. :mad:

BTW-can multi quote on here like other forums or am I not seeing it? I had to post three times now, lol.
 
You can run a eblend with what you have now, just lower blend and taper in the boost.

The shroud is for fuel efficiency at stock power levels.

I dont want a eblend unless it can be truely flex fuel. I want this to be a true DD.

I am all into perfromance and stuff, but you see all these people online that have to measure fuel, change wheels, pull seat out, change the tune, read a book, with the exhaust out the front bumper etc etc just to be "Race ready" for their "street car" that can "drive across the US at any point"

I don’t see a option to multi-quote in TT. Kinda a bummer.

The windshield dude came to my house to swap it. He did a very good job and showed me with the windshield out, that the last guys also did a great job. No paint damage that we could see at all.

He seemed very experienced.

I totally understand that as that was my goal with this truck. No meth, no crazy fuel or ethanol. I don’t mind flipping a tune here or there, but my DD tune from Brett is a pretty “strong” tune.

So for me right now, I want to try e30 just out of curiosity. Heck, if it pans out, it may be a fun tune to have for beating down my brother or for a run down the track there is only one e85 pump here, so not practical from a DD standpoint.

So I went to a local wrecker yesterday in hopes of finding a new dash vent (my boy broke it pulling on a phone mount). No luck on the vent, BUT there was a 2018 lariat that just came in and had Sync 3 in it. I decided to ask how much they would want and they said $250!!!!! I had to grab it for that price. They said they will have the screen and APIM pulled on Monday for me to pick up.

I know I’ll have a few other small things to grab for the upgrade, but pretty stoked to finally be able to do Sync 3 for a crazy cheap price.

That's my only gripe with my 2012 is having the crappy MFT. My only option is pretty much change the radio or do a navtool

You got a steal on that sync3! I have something in the works with a junkyard for something sweet too [emoji51]

You have to change the USB and also GPS too FYI. Leave the sync 2 gps in place for the the direction to work on LCD and new GPS works on sync 3.

There is also a lot of codes to change in FORscan.

If anyone is interested, I can still guide you to someone who will assemble everything for you and write all the code for you for pretty good deal compared to others online!

Thank you, I have the antenna on order, but I did forget about the USB.

Probably be a few weeks before Incan get it installed.

Thankfully I already have all the code changes I need for Forscan to get it configured properly

So when do we get to see this thing on the dyno?
 
Discussion starter · #997 ·
Well, since I spent my Dyno money on a Sync 3 system, I don't know. I'm going to get my GT's up for sale, AFE intake and a few small things to see if I can fund it. $200 a trip and a Wife on Maternity leave, means I gotta be careful with the spending.
 
Sounds like a lot of good problems to have :)
 
I don't need dyno numbers.
In fact, don't tell me.

It's almost a no-win. Lol

It's really not that bad. The E content tends to remain constant at the same pump within a season. Test a few times to verify consistency then have at it. There is enough breathing room in the tunes for that. Many of us truly daily driving an e blend. Some test every tank but many don't. Testing takes hardly any time.
