I'm helping a friend with his turbo project. He got a 93 F150 for free and he's going to use the cab for a plow truck and the engine in his very clean 83 F100. I managed to find a MS2 computer and EECIV adapter harness used for $225, plus another $150 for the wideband O2. The first step was swapping a couple pins on the mustang EEC adapter to work with the 4.9 harness. It took us a few hours to get the truck to run on MS, so that was a victory . Next we started accumulating parts for the swap, including a 9 inch rear and C6 trans. We also have two Audi KKK K24 turbos and some 34lb injectors. We're going to use an eBay FMIC and fabricate the turbo up/down pipes as many have done before. Looking for 350HP in this first round and we'll see what lets go on this first engine so we know where to improve on the next. This engine seems to run well, but has high miles and was really only sourced for the EFI components. Where are people getting forged pistons? Any luck with any of the custom piston makers? how about cam selection, o-ringing heads, etc? The plan is to start with 8-10 PSI and see where that gets us, then gradually increase boost and add meth to combat detonation. I'd post some pics, but can't scale them all down right now. Why the strict image size?
