Turbocharged Coyote/6R80 Swap, Build/Discussion Thread, Pics, info inside!

Thanks! Lot of late nights, pizza and coffee......but it's a passion indeed!

Still planning on starting the turbo build, might push it back to January or so give/take. I went out and decided to sell my Silverado SS and get a '15 F150 3.5L EcoBoost Crew Cab.

At least i'm all Blue Oval powered now!

Here's the video demonstrating my integration with the stock '06 CAN Network Vic cluster to the Coyote ecu . Full functionality!

two Coyote's, same chassis. Crazy how close we live to each other:

THIS is what I'm interested in LOL...Coyote in an 06+ Vic...did you do this swap as well?

I did not. I was assisting in the swap integration/gauge functionality and some minor tuning work.

Essentially, both swaps are the same hardware wise. However, it was VERY cool to drive a Vic with a 5 speed manual!
 
^ Got ya replied to sir!

Lots of ice and winter weather here, drove the car most of last week until it got nasty out, miss the 'ole girl! I'm itching to start on the turbo setup! It's looking like after the holidays are out of the way, I'll get going on the build finally. I do miss the fabrication work that goes into the turbo hot side, I think I enjoy making those components the most. I'm not sure what it is about it. Of course, 1/2 way through the build if you ask me the same question, it's not the same answer....haha.

Happy Holidays to all!
 
Thanks for the well wishes same to you and yours. looking forward to the turbo part of this . Thanks again for posting this build.

Nice! However, wouldn't a 6-speed auto in the context of a Marauder want to be paired with the Coyote engine and PCM as 96GT4.6 has demonstrated?

Well it's a kit to control the 6R80 & a Coyote together. I don't know why anybody wouldn't want that combo.

Its a stand alone computer that controls the shifts of the 6r80 so it can be swapped behind other mod motors like our 4.6 and not have to deal with grabbing a compatible PCM from another vehicle.

I'm much more interested in the 6r80 versus having a 5.0. The 6r80 in stock form has help up behind ridiculously modified 5.0's so its becoming the preferred "auto swap".

Basically the stand alone is allowing older cars to communicate with the much newer transmission.

Understood. But our cars are emissions-controlled, and a "legal" engine swap typically must keep the engine/transmission combination. Not to mention the Coyote is pretty desirable itself.

States that don't enforce emissions are becoming fewer every year.

I don't see it being an issue because you're not changing any emission related equipment. The controller will basically be the middle man between the 6r80 and the MM ECM/PCM.
 
As long as you don't have to turn off any CELs.. I can't pass emissions with the manual because we had to turn off 8 trans codes in the tune.

I spoke with the head guy for USEPA vehicular emissions and while an understanding nice guy he said that it still goes back to tampering even though I can get way better fuel economy with what I've done.

So **** it. I disabled every single item except cats now. I tried to play by the rules.

That is not how The Man sees it. It sucks, but if you want a legal street car you have to play by the rules. I don't like it and don't agree, but I intend to drive my car on the street.

S/C'd with a Mo's tune passes NC inspection with flying colors w/ EGR deleted. I'll go grab my inspection sheet to see which systems they test for...

obviously Cali is a little bit more strict with the mods
