16k Mile EcoBoost Engine Disassembled at Livernois

[99SaleenSpeedster]

We purchased a good, running 16k mile take-out engine from a 2010 Taurus SHO for engine development. This will lead to some exciting things... :rockon:

We have a few SHO guys now with minimal mods running low 12's with one close to the 11's..

I was going to document the entire tear-down, unfortunately the guys in engine build got excited to see what was inside..

I got excited when I saw Eco-boost. Thought there might have been a truck tune ready :lol:

It's comin.... hopefully soon. The encryption is tougher to crack than we originally thought. I have a list of almost 300 people waiting for it.

I have been waiting for A 2011 Dodge Ram tuner for a year. These new trucks aren't easy to get into I guess.....

I agree with gutted fox body. Then again, a first generation SHO or Ranger would be sweet.

those exhuast tubes are tiny! are these intercooled? I did not see a core in the intake?

 

[99SaleenSpeedster]

I have a customer that wants to buy this for his SHO as soon as we make forged parts and port the heads.

They have an air-to-air.

Edit: Yes, we do have 5.0L F150 tunes. It makes a huge difference!

geez, crazy looking intake and odd/restrictive exhaust. Should make killer #s with a tubular manifold and open plenum style manifold if packaging allows.
pics of combustion chambers?

 

[chunkybs]

can't wait to see where this leads.

What kind of Caddy?

We do a ton of CTS-V's and I took one to the track and accidentally started in 2nd gear and went 10.7.
