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

He had to modify one header, so you might want to read the entire thread.

He also lists the fuel pump and fittings, it's a good read :)
 
Coyote is on the dyno made 550rwhp at 9psi on E85 , tuning continues , and boost is going up!

Looking for 750-800!!!!!!!!!
 
96gt4.6 I've been wondering, is it possible for us older 4v guys to do what some GT500 who are running the 6r80 have done by switching over to a Coyote auto ECM to control the 6r80? It's been proven that the Coyote ECM is able to control a non VVT engine in the 5.4L, I see no reason it couldn't control a 4.6L. The GT500 do have can-bus technology but only for their instrument cluster, abs module and SJS and audio unit and (SJB not sure what that is).

We know PATS can be disable from the ECM, is it also possible to disable the other things we don't have nor need (Abs,BCM ect) and still run the 6r80 trans?

Sign me up for a 6r80 in my 03. Heck yeah

My car already has a CAN BUS system, so this is intriguing....
 
I would venture to guess that using the Coyote ECU would be possible in those situations, but I would need to reference some things to verify.

Essentially that's the same thing I did with the Marauder on one hand. I disabled all the codes not needed and kept only the engine/transmission control items. Being as the Cluster on most modern vehicles simply grabs all it needs from the CAN BUS, the gauges should work.

However, I have a feeling you would get a host of other warning indicators, and i'm not sure if the Coyote ECU will play nice with everything entirely in a modern vehicle swap such as that. Could be totally wrong on this one though, i'm sure there is someone out there that is work on or trying it though, the 6R80 is a brute and can take serious power and not even care. Shifts like a kitten around town, kills the tires at 1/2 of total available line pressure (at least on this build it did!). Lots of growing room for power in those transmissions.
 
Hate to keep bothering you brother. But... do you know what the radiator hose you used the yellow 45 was from, trying to finish up my coolant side. Thanks man
 
Gates part numbers for the upper and lower hoses. You will need to modify both. On the lower, I used 1/2 of the original Marauder's lower hose along with a plastic hose coupler. Look through my pic album to see how it was modified:

Upper - Gates# 22144
Lower - Gates# 21585
 
You will need to modify the key way on the orange connector/mating connector as it clocks the outlet in the wrong direction. The orange connector came with the OEM 2012 F150 radiator hose, I believe it was the lower hose radiator side connector, but it's been too long.
 
That looks like a very good alternative for a 6R swap controller. It's a good trans, and now that they are starting to support it in the aftermarket, only good things will come. I just looked through the install manual for that controller, it's the cat's me-ow by what I can see. Fully programmable, has VSS out, and many other goodies!

And, of course, just as I had been preaching from the beginning, they also state that the 6R80 is capable of near 1k hp in stock trim with only programming.

She's a stout unit, and you will love the 6 speed side of life once you have one.
 
This is an excellent transmission , but people need to realize by the time you buy the control unit, transmission, torque converter, drive shaft your looking at 5K or more.
