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

Well, what an interesting weekend, but here we are......finally.....on the cusp of what I set out to achieve from day one. We are eating boost, and everything seems to be functioning great!

The turbo spools fine, i'm able to control boost down to a minute level, and all the hardware appears to work flawlessly. Thing drives like stock again as well, and man i'm glad to finally get her back on the road!

MUCH more coming guys, we're just beginning! On the measly 2.6 psi in this video, with only 13 degrees lead time.....it's faster than it was all motor. Baby steps, but now that I know the how/why and where in the tune to do things, I feel much safer turning up the wick.

Stay tuned!

Watched it over and over last night, congrats man

It sounds great when that speedo needle is sweeping quickly!

Somebody is going to need widened wheels and drag radials :)
 
Very impressive what has been accomplished here, and in such short time. Well planned out, well executed, with beautiful results.

Thank you for taking the time to document it so thoroughly.
 
How much boost do you ultimately expect to run on this bad boy...?

Also, any plans for a SNOW Methanol kit for even more (safe) boost/fun!?

Thank you sir! And yes, it's pretty much at the point of over coming the stock radials at the moment. More on my upcoming tire selection here in the coming weeks.

Congratulations. +1 on widened wheels and drag radials.

Agree, it's becoming very much like the Vic was at this point. Street tires, are pretty much worthless!

Thank you very much. It's the least I could do to repay the automotive community for all the help I have received, and continue to receive on this project. I wouldn't be where I am now, without the kindness of others helping me in turn.

I plan a maximum of 9-10 psi, which from what I have gathered is about the *safe* limit of the '11-14 Coyote. Granted, on a Coyote that jives out to 650 or so RWHP. Sure, it could probably go higher, but i'm all about safe.....we'll worry about setting records and such at a later date. This car is a street car, and I would really love to enjoy it this summer. With 600 rear wheel, that is more than enough for me for the time being. No plans for Meth. Pump 93 is the most she will ever see unfortunately.

Some small tidbits of video today. Got the GoPro ready, but didn't quite get that far. Just got into playing with the electronic boost controller at the end of the day. Got the initial tuning going on 6psi, and man that is a big difference from what she's at now!

Here's a quick hit. That exhaust note though.....the Coyote certainly commands some respect for it's throat on boost:

Also got a chance to make sure my ABS relocation held up. This was a panic stop from highway speeds.

Some people like it, some don't. I'm one of the few who do. The computer's ability to regulate and control wheel spin is far better than having no ABS in my opinion.

no leaks and the system functions like it did pre-relocation.

Did a quick check up after multiple hits and general trial-by-fire this weekend on the old girl:

And, just so it's known, my projects are always for sale for the right price. If anyone happens to be interested, shoot me a PM. You might just be surprised at what could happen.

No plans on stopping with the build, or anything of the sort, i'm just never THAT attached to a project.

This next weekend, will yield those videos I have been promising for so long now. Will be moved up to 6 psi, which from the feel of the initial tuning on that boost level, will produce quite the smoke show from a roll on street rubber!
