My 2011 FX4 mod thread


I just opened my hood one day, and there it was. :3gears:

Installed the 45' angled oil filler neck.

Shopping for some bigger Ford Racing injectors and once I get those installed, it's off to the dyno!

Got some bigger Ford Racing injectors on the way.

Preparing for the higher boost level than what I'm running now.

These are stock on the Ford GT!

So the injectors I picked up are OEM for this little sporty number here:

Bigger MAF to go with the blower, to eliminate "clipping" of the voltage signal at higher RPM's.

Came from an F150 with a 4.6 V8.

80mm vs 65mm. Has 51% more internal area than my stock one. Should work well with the projected 42% HP increase and 58% larger fuel injectors.

Won't install this until Dyno day, as the signals will be all wonky for my stock tuning if I put it on before then.

Just need to find an air filter now to fit on the end.

Looks like any old 3.5" universal cone filter will fit.

Added some heat sleeving to the EGR tube to help keep my wires and hoses happier!

Pretty little injectors, all in a row.

Glad to find these because apparently they are not available anymore.

Will compliment the blower nicely without being too large.

Bah, my supercharger front seal has just started weeping after only 3 months of operation. Grr.

And this was after I went through the trouble of having it all professionally rebuilt with new bearings and seals throughout before I put it into the truck.

The work was done by Watrous Diesel, a long time, respected local shop that rebuilds huge superchargers on BIG GM diesels all the time.

However, I can't remember the brand name of the bearings and seals. (I had bought and supplied the parts to Watrous)

SO, I just ordered a new SKF Viton seal, and a couple of bottles of oil and I'll change the seal myself.

Viton has higher temp resistance than nitrile, but I'm not sure of the material until I remove the old seal.

Dammit Janet!
