Should've posted this earlier but got the car back from nizpro about 2 weeks ago and they fixed the tune and fitted a new intank pump as the factory one was losing pressure something fierce. Original graph reads 260 and new tune reads 281. Conservative and safe as it's my daily. 46fb194553152a4097973079c01583f9.jpg5f0eec96e19405c7ba5f72252b189a17.jpg

Cheers yeah the first tune was done by a well known shop but was wayyyy off so queue me driving like a grandma for a while until it was retuned. Would audibly ping under load and was so rich at idle. Was terrible but now it feels 100% better.

So I replaced the fuel pump in my car with a walbro 460 yesterday and left it at that. Today I went for a drive and noticed that the car is running 11:1 vs the 12 and a bit:1 it was running before. Although I haven't had the laptop onto it yet it is still idling where is it supposed to be. This also gives me the option of running e85 at the drags and not worry about running out of fuel.

 

Today I replaced the coils with genuine ford items and took it for a drive. Previously the trans was popping out of gear and the dash was lighting up and losing the speedo. Now the trans shifts properly at WOT and appears to be working fine otherwise.

 

I also replaced some hotside ic piping and moved the pressure signal closer to the boost solenoid. It seems that it has helped quite a bit with boost spiking between gear changes.

 

Happy days.
