It's been a while since i posted in here. Most people are on FB anymore..
Anyway, Dora had well exceeded the built 5r55. To bring some of you up to speed who are not familiar with Dora. Or not have been to Dora the Ford Explorer
Dora is a Built 5.4 SOHC w/ Ported heads, Custom Cams a highly modified AED Supercharger kit that has a M122 blower from a GT500. Custom Return Style Fuel system running E112 Ethanol.
Swapped-in a 6r80 from a 2013 F150. Used a transfer case from a 2008-2010 Explorer. The trans is controlled by the US Shift. The Transfer Case is still controlled by the factory ECU. The Trans controller was really straight forward. -we have used them in quite a few other cars, so we were already familiar. Literally the hardest part was the all the problem solving and wiring with the factory ecu to make it NOT go into "reduce power" mode due to NOT seeing the trans...
I had to initially use TWO different software to tune it. SCT & HPT. SCT had tables that HPT didn't, but HPT would "read" my tune out of it. However, HPT had Trans codes SCT didn't. So I had to Flash it in with HPT...
Pain... Had to wait till SCT updated my software.... FYI I already am "R&D level" of view SCT Dealer. So literally the codes just weren't in the software..
Anyway, big pain in the ass. So glad it's done. It drives SO well!!
Also, on my LOADED Eddy Brake Dyno- Dora Made 541AWHP & 727.6 AWTQ!! FYI that is the Record on my AWD Dyno. For you number hunters out there... My AWD Dyno IS a Heart Breakers. For frame of reference had a full bolt-on 2008 SRT8 Jeep make 280AWHP/290AWTQ
