Jordan's Rebuild Plan of action

[Ecoboost_xsport]

Thinking about it more I'm going to try the trans cooler idea. Trans fluid out to cooler, cooled fluid to ptu and then back to trans. Can estimate the ptu temperature with the trans temp pid. Certainly can't hurt to try it out. The trucool cooler I have is pretty big so I figure I'll keep up just fine

If you want an accurate PTU temp, you could get an external guage and wire it to the temp sensor on the PTU. Not ideal, I'm sure. It's just a 2 wire resistive type temp sensor. I took a ton of readings on one to attempt to figure the scaling. I still have that data if ya need it.

Not worried to that extent but just as long as it's not effecting the trans adversely I can't see how it would hurt. Kind of an interesting use of oem cooler. Would simplify it over having to buy all the cooling lines to run the coolant and way easy process over an external pump and radiator. I might just find a plug for that sensor over just using the sensor or clip it. Got plenty of time to decide

Sounds good. Keep us updated on the finished design.

Decided to install the gh torque converter. Boogered some threads on the new ptu, borrowed a chaser set and fixed em up and that's now in the car as well!

Hi Jordan I've been watching your YouTube series. Very interested in the build-up.
You might want to consider running the hydraulic cooling loop through a cooler then to the PTU and then back through a second cooler. Hydraulic fluid can fry from too much heat. It also does not have the same thermal transfer dynamics as ethyl glycol in water.

You might also want to give this a look.

Not that it would be a problem at the track, but transmission fluid doesn't flow until the transmission is warmed up. There is a thermostat controlling transmission fluid flow to the cooler to prevent over cooling under normal conditions.

Cheers Bluezone

I will have to dig, but someone did post PID's for the PTU for the PP cars. It was in the TQ App. From what I remember, the PTU was always within a couple of degrees at all times with the engine coolant temp. That is why I haven't really looked any harder into PTU temps.

Thanks for the insight! Thermostat is I think 160

Honestly, I'm not really worried about it but the fact that I could throw it in line extremely easy only reason I'll test it.

Actually I big dumbed that reply. If it's a pp that came with the cooler to begin with them it would be within a couple degrees because the coolant system is what cools the ptu on the pp cars lol

Lol. That is the reason why I have never worried about my PTU temp. It already has a PID...lol.

Ended up coming across a splash guard I never had on Facebook from an old sho owner who was clearing space! Ten bucks later I got this. I think I'm going to take the sound deadening out of it and see if I can modify the faux vents in the bottom of it to be functional but was just fitting it up and seeing how the spacing on the vent locations looked with out a motor on it. Kind of interesting. This one is off I believe a 2012

I cut holes in my mine. I kept the material however.

I know the vents exist on the flex version and I'm curious of the placement of the bigger side as it seems like it's more in the general area of the firewall turbo than anywhere else. Given the firewall turbo bakes itself and destroys itself doing so looks like ford was aware

 

[SM105K]

Yes sir. Just took my grinder and opened them up. I just used self tappers to secure the material. None have fallen out yet.

I thought about cutting those out but I’d have a snow catcher in the winter. That shield does keep it a lot more clean under there.

ehh it'll melt quick.

You planning on running some people over and turning them into ribbons? Asking for a friend.... >.>

I'm not sure you want to force more air in behind the radiator...hmmm.
Id say making the SHO fender badges into heat extractors would work better.

Several manufacturers have the ducting, most all (if not all) have small ducting on the inside to dirrect the flow of air exactly where they want it. Snow is never a problem but occasionally it looks like people have driven through mud water
leaving quite a bit of dirt inside. I think it would probably fairly simple to fabricate a duct from some aluminum plate and rivit it to the shield.

Nice! Man, I can never reach that guy, lol. How is the EVO different than the XDI60? And I have a set of his injectors going in my car right now, he initially advertised them as +50%, but when I got the spec sheet, they are truly a little over +30%.

He's got my fuel hanger assemby as he is attempting to put something larger than the DW300c I've got (he was talking about a Bosch 400, but it may not fit), likely requiring removal of the in-tank filter and going with an external one, but it's been almost 2 months now and he's difficult to reach and to get updates on...

Awesome that you got that plug! My goal is 100% E85 and hoping he can help me get there...
