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

    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
