So cool if both would have been on road the same day . .
Finally took my ecoproject for a longer drive today. Around 55 miles on it so far. Total blast no issues yet.
I check back on yours every couple days. Looking good!

That would have been so awesome if you had gotten it going today!

What blows me away is being a v-6 / 3.5 there is so much packed into / happening in that engine bay.
Now that your that close to turning the key. How do you plan on celebrating bring life to Frankenstine?

I was hoping to get a baseline dyno run prior to doing the mods.
Thinking I may gain some with over double the size of a cooler. Especially when the hot weather hits.
I did buy a LiveWire along with the turbo's, down pipes, pump from Geoff.
I was hoping to see around 475+ RWHP after proper tuning.
I am 3810 lbs right now curb weight so a bunch less than a new F150 but not in ballpark of your mustang.
Mine does feel quite strong right now and scoots along pretty nicely.
The low end torque is unreal on 3800 lbs
A teaser vid of my test drive yesterday. 27 MPG for the last 30 minutes of driving. Love it!

I am just shooting from the hip to make it work. Not a real clue what I am doing . .
Right now I have everything 100% working except for the Restraint system.
Think I have a handle on that now too. Know what I have to do just have not done it yet.

Your truck weight isn't bad at all actually, my Shelby weighs 3800! My project car will weigh somewhere around 3300-3400 lbs with the roll cage and water-cooled intercooler setup. 27 MPG is amazing, that shows what the f150 can do if it shed 2k lbs!

I got a couple of 4" stainless steel hose clamps and looped them around the turbo pipe u-bends and the front crossmember to hold them in place. If they were loose odds are they would move back and rub on the stabilizer bar.

Just watched the video of you driving, that's so cool, I'm super jealous! With the mods I have already performed on the car I hope to be 450 RWHP after a proper tune. Of course that's only phase 1 but is a great start. I've got high flow turbo piping, high flow air intake, high flow dual exhaust, water-cooled intercoolers, dual fuel pumps, a manual transmission, and less rotational weight than the trucks. Supposedly you lose about 35 horsepower through the automatic transmission alone. Being at 5500' altitude will also bring me down some, I may take it to somewhere with lower elevation to dyno and drag race it so I can get more accurate information.

Updated Video a bit better quality from my cell phone. Had been holding it up for 35 minutes. Arm was getting pretty tired.
