- I got a 2003 Ford Lightning SVT as of February 2015...It's always been my dream truck, after some saving, and alot of hard work, I finally was able to get one! I plan on uploading videos of me enjoying my new money pit, it's progress, and journey of making it faster! - Other projects to come as well, plenty of builds, and car guy/automotive enthusiast content!
So make sure you SUBSCRIBE to make sure you stay up to date with the latest videos and progress on the builds!
I would personally go whipple. Can make plenty of power and reliably. Kenne Bells are ok too, but make more heat, so take alittle more effort to make right.
Where is the part your supposed to delete I pulled my charger off to clean the cooler and found all the ceramic on wheels to be on top of cooler after cleaning I believe it's ready to be installed but would like to do it right and delete and catch can just not sure where or what to do.
There's an elbow with a hose that comes from the back/bottom of the lower intake manifold. Take the hose off, elbow out, and put a 3/8 npt plug fitting in the lower intake to block it off. Plenty of threads on Lightningrodder with all the steps/pics, google "Ford Lightning turkey pan mod/delete"
By chance, do you know what trans pan gasket you need for that pan and filter? I'm pretty sure I have that in my truck and need to get to the trans filter and fluid. It has a aftermarket pan with a drain plug. Truck is my daily that's why I'm concerned.
I'm trying to figure out a solution for a portable AC unit in my garage but I've been mulling it over for about 2 years now. I have a concrete block wall I'd have to go through to add a direct vent outside and that doesn't seem like a practical solution. The only other options I can think of is to go through the ceiling like is shown here or I thought about cutting a vent directly into my garage door which I could cover with a magnetic cover when not in use, but then I'd have to connect the vent each time I used the AC and would have to remember not to disconnect it before opening the garage door.
I thought about the garage door thing too, seemed like a pain though ( I open and close mine often). What I did here, has been working great for years now. Zero issues, set and forget
Hell yeah, premium quality 🤘lol! Didn't last long, I was gonna built a legit stand out of wood, but it ended up working better on the ground anyways. Still works great though, all these years later.
I have a 2000 I did mine at 272 k I got the JLP Seasoned Motor I did 3 pumps in the tank with Jlp extreme fuel system & jlp special plenum 2.6 KB I drive it every day dyno 746 up front 616 rear love it run 5- 50 motorcraft synthetic
I'm set up pretty close to how you are but in a swapped 4x4 truck and a Whipple 2.9 I have a "93" tune that is 18PSI and 10.5 degrees and I have a "99" tune that is 20PSI and 16 degrees. I use boostane marine to get to 99 because I still have cats on the truck. I have a J&S Vampire, which is set to pull global timing vs individual cylinder timing, having one is crucial in these motors(I believe anyways).
That was my thoughts too. Supposedly, gt500 bolts hold plenty power/boost, but idk, I feel like it shoulda been studded as they advertise, but that's just me.
@@DebtLife_Projects I have a 13 GT500, it only makes 16PSI in factory form so thats what the bolts are designed to hold. Seems one would use studs and a matter of routine on an engine that expensive. I know if I had a shop, you wouldn't get an option, studs only, everyone turns up the pressure on these things eventually.
Hi 🫡my friend I salute you fron SAN DIEGO please don't forget the ARP for your heads.I know they are expensive but worth it ,.I delete my cats and on my Headers's I used long bolts whit presure washers and used antisee paste on them. I also deleted the radiatorfan install electric fans..Good luck whit your Red Devil 🙏my friend.
not sure what exactly happened yet, but yup, built JDM longblock, coolant went into everything. Looks as if cats were extremely clogged, preventing alot of flow, and creating excess boost/pressure. Havn't cracked open the motor yet to look into things further though. Once we get it open, we will see what happened.
Shawn, looks like your cats were starting to fail or have, the one I can see in your video looks all plugged up. That could have been why you were making so much boost and could be the potential cause of your issue. The exhaust leaks at the collectors would have caused that to happen as you have cool air mixing with hot exhaust gases and it can melt the cat.
I do like the svts but always problems and problems....I have before.. now I have a Super sport 03 and 04. LS 6.0. Can't bets on reaviliavity. Good job brother nice video
