bnight replied to the thread Mach 1 Track Build & Dark Horse Overheating + Trans Failures – Need Proven Cooling Setup.What CHTs correspond to that numbers 140C is a lot for oil ? Overall if your Coyote is going over 118C CHT you might run into problems. (see full post)-
bnight replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.Why bother with real gauges just keep CHT on dash and don't let it go past 245F. Problem solved and no gauges needed. In practice the ECU pulls timing at anything over 219F so keeping it below that will be ideal. Providing you are with OEM ECU... (see full post)
Bill Pemberton replied to the thread Recommendations on a good starting brake pad.Thanks , I should have said R16 , though like Madhatter I only run R18s up front. It was started as an Endurance pad and Danny told me well over a decade back I had the first set sent to the general public to try ( ran them at Great Plains... (see full post)- Firefighter46 replied to the thread Coyote swap question/fuel system related.Yep, it appears I need an evap purge hard line from the throttle body to the connection behind the strut tower next to the fuel line connector. The port at the purge valve has a shipping plug in it from Cleveland Performance. I'm just missing the... (see full post)
mwjscn replied to the thread Coyote swap question/fuel system related.The Coyote EVAP purge solenoid (and the line that connects to it) is at the front of the intake manifold, on the snout behind the throttle body right next to the fuel rail crossover. (see full post)- Firefighter46 replied to the thread Coyote swap question/fuel system related.So a 2014 Coyote doesn't use an evap system?? I honestly don't see a line on this engine that looks like it belongs there. I have one smooth fitting on the rear of the intake manifold that has nothing on it. Different type of connector though. It... (see full post)

mwjscn replied to the thread Coyote swap question/fuel system related.Yes, the EVAP hardline is bundled with the fuel delivery hardline and the rear brake lines and present themselves at the same spot into the engine bay. Since the EVAP purge solenoids are on the intake manifold for the Cyclone and the Coyote... (see full post)
- Firefighter46 replied to the thread Coyote swap question/fuel system related.I guess, yes. It's terminated right next to the hard, stainless fuel line. I had to disconnect each of them to remove the V6. They are literally an inch from one another. I just assumed it was a return line. The 14' Coyote I'm installing only has... (see full post)

mwjscn replied to the thread Coyote swap question/fuel system related.Are you talking about the EVAP hardline into the engine bay? Cyclone and Coyote are both returnless and their pumps are modulated with a FPDM in the trunk. (see full post)
- 665.0coupe replied to the thread S197 2005 GT.I had been noticing my inside tire spinning on tight turn a round's at autocross events. When I got the car I thought I could get away with running the factory clutch limited slip until this winter, and then swap to the trutrac. The obviously... (see full post)

- EF1 replied to the thread Recommendations on a good starting brake pad.Bill, R-14 is not recommended for Mustangs. It is for endurance racing light weight low horsepower cars. Go with R-12 or R-16 for the mustang. (see full post)
- cjatrains replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.My understanding is that CHT is an actual value measuring the temperature of the Aluminum Cylinder head via a sensor technology called a Thermistor. So it is measuring and recording the actual temperature of the aluminum. The benefit is that... (see full post)
Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.So CHT is not a sensor, either? It is a computer calculated value??? (see full post)- Firefighter46 posted the thread Coyote swap question/fuel system related in S197 Mustang Tech - GT, Boss 302 and GT500.2013 V6 to Coyote swap question What does everyone do with the differences between the V6 return style system vs. the Coyote returnless system. Namely, what should I do with the extra line that terminates behind the drivers side strut tower next...
MBalboni replied to the thread Recommendations on a good starting brake pad.Great recommendation @billpemberton I’ll try the 14/10 setup on my boss. My usage is road racing, spirited canyon carving twisties and an occasional road trip (not necessarily in that order). My car is not a daily driver, but an option as a... (see full post)- cjatrains replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.My concern isn't whether digital gauges can be made to great accuracy. I trust the that the Thermister that's measuring the temperature of the Aluminum cylinder head is quite accurate. My question is there's at least 2 factors (variables)... (see full post)

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Mach 1 Track Build & Dark Horse Overheating + Trans Failures – Need Proven Cooling Setup.Interesting. I’ll have to investigate all this further and see what the solution is. Mechanical analog guages are my preference (see full post)
- cjatrains replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.I have considered it several times since purchasing the car Nov 2022. I really don't want to rely on calculated or algorithmic values that I have no idea how they're calculated. I am glad it's working for you, just not a solution I am... (see full post)
