    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    @ANTHONY-GATLIN I haven't done anything noteworthy :P I have been driving it fairly frequently since getting it running. It's still running okay.

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    The wideband/AF gauge is working. I got that working before I started driving. I was too scared about something going wrong to not have it running :) Yeah that's what my plan is. I wanna get this running pretty efficient. Then start working on a second engine that I'll add another power adder...

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    I got the boost gauge setup over the weekend. I had expected the pulley to make ~10lbs of boost, and the highest I saw was 9lbs. So pretty much right in line with what I was seeing on saleen forums.

    Gotcha. Well, I might just see how far the 5r55 gets me then look into a 6r80 when it goes. I think you're making a bit more power than I plan to at least in the near future. Have you had your car to the 1/4? EDIT: Put the gauge pod in. Doesn't look great. Doesn't look terrible. I'm not that...

    Thanks LSXkilr, glad I haven't spent any money yet. I'll check out your thread. What built 5r55 did you use? I heard a lot of good things about the Level10 stuff.

    I got the autometer 15308. I just quickly lined it up in the explorer. For a 2 gauge A pillar pod, this will work fine (for those looking to get one, this doesn't line up exactly. If you're worried about how it's gonna look, I'd keep searching). It's dark now but I'll try to install tomorrow. I...

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    It'll probably be around early next month before I can get new tires on. Got a bunch going on with the holidays here. It's also winter here, so I'll have to wait for good weather to be safe :p I think once it warms up a little bit I'm gonna add in a boost gauge and a-pillar dual gauge pod for...

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    Here's a clip of not quite 0-60. One of the rear tires has full tread while the other is a little worn, so I disabled 4x4. If I floor it in first it spins quite easily so I have to ease into it. I imagine once I can launch in 4x4, 0-60 would probably be around 5.5s or so. We'll see though. I'll...

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    Hah, no worries. I was wondering if I said something especially stupid or something. I don't have a boost gauge but with the pulley I got on there it should be making like 9-10lbs. It runs pretty good, I got no complaints. I haven't had a chance to really mess around with it yet, but the...

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    Well she spins em. I still need a couple more things but it runs and drives now. One of my tires went super flat and came off the bead. I have the full size spare, but when 4x4 kicks on it's a bumpy ride. I just disabled 4x4 via fuses for the moment. My projects for spring will probably be...

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    Did idle and free rev datalogging with the MAF Extender and Don's new tune. It seems to be running okay. I'm just waiting for Don's go-ahead before taking it out on the road. I've been saying this for months, but I really think that I will be driving by next week. @boominXplorer I'm not sure...

    Thanks LSXkilr, I'll quote this message in the first post for reference.

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    Back again. Shipping on the Maf.ia took a while longer than expected. American Muscle was a few days late shipping (they were also confused why I was buying a Maf extender for 05-10 when my car on there is set to an 04 mustang :P ) In any case, installing was a breeze as expected. It plugs in...

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    Replaced brake line. Don told me from looking at the data it looks like I have a vacuum leak, so I smoke tested the intake and sure enough I did have a vacuum leak. I fixed that and it runs and idles good. I'm not driving it yet though, as this is still a base tune. But assuming nothing else...

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    With the latest tune it is running okay now. Don said he deleted his codebase and got a new base tune from SCT. Unfortunately a brake line has broken now, so I have to do that before I can continue. With any luck I can fix that today.

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    I got the adapters today. These are VMP adapters (Injector Height Adapter Hats (8)) Just in case you care, that's exactly what I ordered, but they look like my pictures below, not what's in VMPs picture. I don't really care personally. The little clips that help hold the injectors to the fuel...

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    I understand. That sounds reasonable, it's just there's no way I'd be able to get it out to KS. I'd have to go somewhere closer for that.

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    I was unaware. Knowing you have experience with exactly this, I probably would have. Do you do email tuning? I don't see it mentioned on your site. I'm in Ohio. At the moment I'll probably wait and see what Don comes up with simply because I already paid him but if it still won't rev with the...

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    Don was telling me to change out my injectors for some known good ones. My roommate has some 47# LU47's that he gave me for $80. I am waiting on adapters for them. I will update as I have updates, but things are just happening a bit slow.

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    If I'm not misunderstanding, boominXplorer is saying I'm creating a problem drawing a vacuum on crankcase pressure which will happen after the MAF, so additional air can get in that was unmetered. I'm not sure to what extent this will be an issue since I imagine most of the blow-by would be...

    Ah I see. Maybe I'll just put a filter on it then. Thanks for pointing that out!

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    Sorry, didn't get an email saying I got responses. Same issue. Don is saying he thinks the injectors aren't the 32# injectors that I thought they were. I'm pretty sure they are 32#. This part matches the part # on the injectors: 0280158174 / 9L3E-B5A My understanding is that both sides are...

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    Having a little trouble with the tune. I'm not sure if I've got something wrong or some part wasn't what I thought it was or anything. Don's taking a look at it and hopefully he can shed a little insight. The issue is that the car will not rev over 1k RPMs Anyhow, here's how I'm datalogging...

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    Thanks :) I'm just hoping this helps someone out there, because I know when I was starting out on this it was not easy to find information.

    Saleen Series 2 on Explorer?

    I don't have the funds to do that yet. With the wideband/datalogging system and the additional SCT tuner I didn't expect to need I've spent way more than I thought I would at the point. That'll probably be a project for next year.
