To not leave people here completely in the dark I have picked up an AEM EMS :D I won't be dyno tuning for aa while but I thought a little update would be nice.

Let's make page 100 worth while shall we. Forgive but don't forget; I have forgiven and in turn hope to never be forgotten!

Since as someone stated it all began here I will share this post here too as a massive update, though you know where to go for faster more expansive updates ;). it has been a long road to get to where I am at which feels like less than last year long story short I pulled the 3.5 apart and found that I had broken a couple pistons in its last run with that engine around 12-14psi. Since then I had gotten it put back together and had been running the 3.2 with the modified intake manifold and the heads pictured above, yesterday I was finally able to get the funds to fall in line with Cortney Green's schedule and have him tune it (I was amazed at his speed and knowledge of tuning with the EMS, MAD PROPS). We had a few bumps in the road and it was an all day affair but at the end of the day she had her first tune with the EMS. The downside was that we had to stop a around 9psi to maintain a conservative tune on a stock MAP sensor (long story). The next goal is to make a few small changes, such as add another fan, swap the thermostat, tighten down the vacuum lines, run an in car test of the meth injection setup (not used during this session) and fix a boost leak then re-tune. Sorry I had been away for so long life got busy for a bit lol. but here are some updated pics. The numbers were on a Mustang Dyno so they to are a little less than what it would have been on a dynojet so that coupled with the stock MAP sensor and the boost leak I am not unhappy with the results at this point.

Some updates since last post

changed the center console a bit for a better shot of the gauges and to add an Innovate wideband gauge
Image


added a smaller steering wheel that fit the build with a momo adapter kit, I have a quick release hub as well but I am undecided about it at the moment.
Image


Got the custom seat brackets fabbed and finished so I was able to put the Aftermarket seats in
Image


Picked up a set of Sarona fenders but they will not go on till the Sarona body kit does likely next year at this point I am poor now lol.
Image


here is a shot of the pistons that broke (too much boost too little tune, this was pre-EMS)
Image


added some LED's to the JDM headlights (not a performance upgrade but WTH)
Image


Image


Installed the Cobra Misano style seats (dropped over 100lbs) cars dirty in this pic
Image


added a shifter with a shorter throw than my previous short shifter
Image


Pics of the meth injection (tubing was upgraded after this pic to black tuning with a 200+psi burst rating). I also ugraded the pump to a Coolmisting 200psi pump tied to a Hobbs pressure switch to activate a (to be) alcohol tuned map in the EMS.

DIY nozzle was a pain in the "A" but I got it worked out
Image


Image


I started running low on funds so had to opt out of the Jethot coating and decided to wrap the headers for now with Defi Titanium wrap.
Image

Image


gave the engine a fresh look
Image


Image


And spent a day with Cortney and Element Racing
Image


Image


Image


Watch his speed as he is setting up the tune (he was actually moving faster at one point...damn he knows his stuff.

I admit it was a long and frustrating day as some first tunes are. Cort walked me though some suggestions as we were re-routing vacuum lines ripping out unnecessary parts and replacing my bad wideband sensor. This was why we ran out of time before we could get to the meth injection part.

Results for the day
Image

But all in all not too bad for round one, round two will be some meth, more boost a few modifications and hopefully anti lag all in search of more power!

What began as a dream is becoming a Legend!
