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

Awesome work man, glad you figured out how to get it running:)

Tell us what you spent the 35.00 on to get it running, man that's great.
 
After it's on the road, and all functions are without question verified, I will divulge more information about my bypass solution.

I can assure those watching, that the ECU functions entirely stock at this time, all trans functions, parameters, datastream function normally. Essentially, it thinks it's an F150 still. The Bypass altered nothing on that aspect. Stock/dealer scan tools function, display and work fine as well as tuning.

But, I don't want to let the cat out of the bag until i'm for certain. However, at this time, being as the enabler status gives the all clear, she's pretty much good to go from a technician standpoint. There is no reason it won't function.
 
Gonna be a helluva ride .....

I remember having this kind of speed and determination! I lost it somewhere though..

Update!!!!

I'll start off by saying the HP Tuners bypass was not successful :(. On these newer ECU's the starting system is controlled by the PCM (if you so wish to wire it that way, which I did). All you have to do is bump the key to start and the ECU takes over cranking for you until the engine starts. BUT, this ONLY occurs if the PATS system has sent the OK signal to the ECU, OR the PATS is entirely disabled.

When I got the wiring done, I tried to crank the car, nothing. Double checked all my wiring/inputs, all good. Got out my personal dealer-level scan tool, checked all the enabler parameters. Everything was a go, trans range sensor, start input request from the ignition key, ect. EXCEPT one thing....the PATS was keeping the vehicle from starting.....total bummer!

Here's the screenshot showing the ECU data and confirming it's disabled:

Unless that little box says enabled, there will be no crank, no spark, period.

Now, in the beginning I was informed this was experimental on HP Tuners behalf, so I am IN NO WAY UPSET, I just wanted to let that be known, it could have went either way and that was entirely conveyed to me in the beginning.

So, as I had stated in the beginning, I had a backup plan, two actually.

The second was to send the ECU to Lund Racing, whom have done multiple ECU's and confirmed they can indeed delete the EPATS. However, I was quoted $500 as that service is only done via a Tune with it.

Ok, no biggie, that's pennies on the $$ when doing this type of work.

However, I had a final solution that I personally had thought of in the beginning that would work as a last resort, and it cost me $35, Although I have to write the performance tune for the car, which is fine by me as having someone tune it learns you nothing in the end, and any time you make changes you're stuck sending the ECU off, as well as never really knowing what's going on under the hood, and/or if problems crop up, you're at the tuner's mercy.

This video is quick and crude, as I have to fabricate the trans cooler lines (hence the gurgling in the end into my pan on the shop floor).

So, without further delay, I give you what I believe to be the World's First, Coyote, 6R80, Salvage Pullout with stock F150 wiring harness converted standalone, swapped Marauder, 8-17-15:

Running/idiling videos to come soon. After I get the rest of the small plumbing done, you'll also be in store for some hairy burnout videos, if this pig will even do one ;)

Thank you all for the support thus far. This thing is just beginning, I am already starting the layout for the Hairdryer and 2nd phase of the project, after she's up/running and made a few passes all motor/all stock.

Let me guess, your $35.00 solution is making a new key and marrying it to the ECU via the diagnostic machine at your work place? Great job on this project!
 
^ Close!

Although, I do have my own personal dealer level equipment that I could have fell back on for reprogramming issues, had any arised, it wasn't necessary.

I suggest if anyone wants to deal with dealer level security items, check out www.forscan.org - They are adding some very cool dealer level PATS functions into that software!

My method was very simple, AND now I have reverse lamps (was controlled by the PCM and the enabler signal is transmitted onto the HS-CAN) as well as Factory Remote Start capabilities with this method.

More to come on those goodies as I progress through the wiring/integration/build. The details will emerge, but only after I'm finished.
 
Any chance this means you have PATS working instead of disabled? Might be kind of nice given all the car thieves out there.

I have retained the factory Marauder PATS system with this setup. Technically, there are two fully functional PATS systems on the car now.

However, no modifications were necessary to any of the Marauder's hardware such as key, transponder, ect. But, the Marauder still requires the original key to start, and the PATS light on the dash still operates normally.

But, it should be noted, that the older PATS systems such as the Marauder has, are easily defeated by professional car thief's......unfortunately if they want something bad enough, they will get it.
