Endgame setup- BW s257sxe

I'll have to dig up the spacer somewhere in the garage and try again

 

I got a 12" 6 way TB extension from Ballenger Motorsports. I will swap out the current harness if I experience issues again. I'm getting mixed signals about the necessity of the spacer. Tuna says not needed on ST manifold, Damond says it is, CS says its fine without it. So i'm just going to fck around and find out.

 

So far so good. A few WOT pulls near 37psi and plenty of varying driving conditions. Crossing my fingers

I just read this whole thread and it has motivated me to get my build done. How’s the car running? I have a question for you, I know you are running an eco boost crankshaft is it keyed? I’m shooting towards 700ish and haven’t found many people running these in high hp builds that I know of.

 

Build is still running strong at just about 10k miles now. My eco boost crank is not keyed. I do spin the engine slightly above 8k rpm at 604hp. It may be wise to key the crank at 700hp or above.

 

Glad to hear it’s running good still!! Yeah I was talking to Justin from freektune and he was making 1000hp on his unkeyed ho told me that instead trying to hit that 90degrees on torque just torque it to 225-235ftlbs which it what the 90 comes out to but less room for error just FYI to anyone who was wondering.

 

It was definitely a pain the ass to hit that extra 90 degrees. I used a right angle and marked both the crank pulley and bolt with a paint pen. I'm about 175lbs of pure fat which wasn't enough. I called over my 45lb 4 year old son at the time and he helped give me the necessary leverage to match up my marks.

 

I don't think child services would like you using a 4 year old as a breaker bar extension.

 

If the kid wants to watch Bluey then they'll do what they're told. No TV time until the car runs.

 

Well, fuck man, fair enough. Your house your rules.

 

Buy a six foot long piece of gas pipe that fits over the end of your breaker bar

 

I told him to hang off the end of the 1/2 extension bar while i put my weight into it. Oh well, my house, my rules haha
