looking to throw a supercharger on my 15 6.0.  I run e85 and will do so after install.  Whats a good 1000cc injector and in tank fuel pump?   Has anyone done a similar setup?

 

thanks

A while back i posted about my venture on adding a blower to my 2015 high country 6.0 with 4:88 and pedal commander. Did a whipple blower with intercooler, 1000 cc injectors, ngk plugs, msd wires, walbro 540 pump on e85.   Truck didnt fit on the dyno so he street tuned it with the wide band.  He said the truck is a beast.  He said it makes a ton of low end torque.  I pick her up tomorrow and put her to work and see how much of a difference.  He said that this truck has no ethenol sensor it has a virtual setting that adjusts off of the af sensors and o2 sensors.  Which is good cause he said i will have no issue running e85 or 93.  He said i made a easy 150 hp n tq over stock. Whipple was 4900 Injectors 700 Walbro was 75 Wires 100 Plugs 80 Install n tune 3000 So about 9k into it which was about my budget

Take this from me here, the virtual sensor aka the o2 sensors are not very accurate with alcohol content and they are super slow to respond to changes. You'll see the o2 sensor themselves report the changes because the fuel trims will change a ton but the value that changes for alcohol content will lag behind by a lot compared to a real sensor.

 

A real sensor can change the content within like 2-3 miles of driving because it's seeing the fuel flow through it in real time, the o2 sensors generally take way longer so I'd be careful when switching fuels because it's not going to fuel correctly for a while with the stock virtual sensor.

Thx for the info.  I primarily run e85 in the off chance when i cant fill up with it till i get home i was concerned.  Wanted to know if i could run it short term.

Here is my update on the 15 6.0 with a whipple.  Went back to tuner today for the issues i was having.  Pedal commander and whipple no good.  Had to get rid of pedal commander.  Changed a couple of mph shift points and driving a lot better.  But do miss the pedal commander.  Trucks virtual e85 is garbage.  Installed dsx e85 kit and went from 50% to 72% ethenol.   Gas up tonight and put her to more work and see what happens.

  Looking for insight.  2015 6.0 just did a whipple.  Only does it when giving more than 50% throttle.   Having issues and trying to figure it out.  Heading back to tuner for 3rd time next week.  Sent him this from another group  Dirk Diggla doesn't look to be a convertor issue, especially if Temps are still normal. Every convertor failure I've seen,, the 1st warning signs are 6th gear shudder and higher than normal temls from slippage,    id be intersted in seeing what was done to the VTT tables and reported torque tables in your tune. These gen 5  E78 pcms are 100% torque based and if those 2 tables aren't done correctly cause lots of issues. I'm betting your tune is way off  His reply Hey Andrew, I’m m not sure what that noise could mean, I read what you sent that you found online, but the VVT tables are stock and untouched, the TW tables were raised in the correct areas, I was able see the video I’m not sure what that noise is..   Looking for insight.  Know its hard without a log file to view.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LU5kRrMpe3SMn9BuDwLNnwUyqM3NDdys/view?usp=drivesdk

    • I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.  
    • I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋
    • I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉
    • CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect. 
    • That dog don't hunt. 😏   First, a 2025 with 12K on the clock AND idled for a year nonstop is false on it's face; this is 2026. You can do one or the other but not both.    Second, ENGINE HOURS are absolutely available. The rest is third grade math. Micky Mouse scanner he got out of a box of Cracker Jacks OR an ID10T error.    Third, if they ran it out of oil "Several times" that motor is boned on the first hit.    Does this guy think piling higher makes it stink less?
