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

Congrats, can't wait for driving video!

Some local research results:

My local HP tuner, Sin City Performance in Henderson, NV, claims they can turn EPATS off with the latest Beta software release from HP. They do not need to touch the PCM, just program with Laptop via OBDII port for $200 fee.

They said they could also delete EPATS on 2011-2014 Ford PCMs with Diablo software, they have been trained on both.

However, when I asked if they had ever done it on a vehicle and validated that the process actually works, they admitted they had not.

So I have yet to actually validate that any aftermarket tuner can REALLY remove EPATS on a 2011-2014 Ford. If you do have success with HP, please be sure to share!

I most certainly will Walt. I was in communication with Eric@HPT last week, and he was going to work with me on getting th EPATS deleted out of mine so I could remove my workaround (in partial as I will be keeping the BCM for my reverse lights). I need to update my HP Beta software to the most recent build, as it changes daily so they may have finally got it incorporated into the scanner. LAST I knew they were working on it but didn't have that solution going yet. I will check that out this weekend when I begin road tuning!

Gentleman, we are almost there. Trans shifts (on the jacks anyhow!), starts, purrs like a kitten!

Sounds good! Excellent job bud , i guess there will be more Coyote Marauder s to come.
 
Thank you guys, and I appreciate all the help and advice so far that's been given! Great community here!

As of today, the new total on the swap is $7,319

That's all-inclusive, trans, fittings, wiring, tape, tuning license, integration hardware, fuel pump, engine, mustang cams/ect, the WHOLE ball of wax. Including, fuel for parts store trips, ect.

This will give some of you an idea of what you are up against cost wise, and bear in mind, i'm very proficient at what I do mechanically so this is assuming there is no waste (ordering parts that don't work, stuck with them, ect.).

Is it cost effective vs. modifying the stock 4v? That's debatable I suppose. However, in the end, you have a setup that can take serious power in stock form, and a 6-speed trans that can take equal power with no issues.

I think the real $$/HP will start to show when it's on boost, as technically for that price, you get a motor capable of handling big power.

Cheaper than the LS......not really when looking at my Vic build sheet vs. this one. BUT, more HP in the end, that's to be determined. I believe, it will surpass the Vic power wise lb/lb.
 
Outstanding job man!

It looks so factory. $7,300 is peanuts for a 5.0 that will hold up under much more power than the stock block, a six speed auto (boooo [emoji14]) and a Driveshaft Shop stout shaft!

I knew this was the thread where we would see it done.
BUT - in one month? Awesome work man, you are an excellent tech, concept man, and computer man.
I wish you lived neaby so you could work on my stuff ;)
Seriously great thread, thanks for sharing the build, our community needs more members like yourself.
Please draft up a consilidated thread with parts reference hopefully as a sticky for future Coyote swaps.
:beer:
 
Thank you guys so much for the support and kindness. When I started building stuff years ago, most of the knowledge and kindness was passed on to me, by people like yourself, and I feel that this is my way to help re pay the automotive community.

Justbob, THANK YOU for the recommendation on the driveshaft, first rate company and they do EXCELLENT work.

Walt, I did this video for you this evening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXS4ojPD1B0

My plans are, as soon as I've got the car tuned, and ran a few passes down the 1320, to end this thread, and start a thread that will (hopefully) be a sticky that will be all pictures and the best write up I can do for you guys on the process.

great, thanks!
yeah, that justbob contributes to the site now and then....;) and some guy named Zack I've heard of...., some Jerry guy made some parts I think, but no Coyote swaps :eek:
 
Well I guess if my 2014 Lincoln MKZ 3.7 AWD needs work it will be going to Marmies in Great Bend, Kansas and I will be suggesting strongly which technician works on it.
 
If you are ever in Kansas City you can stop by and leave that thing at my house ;). Congratulations on this project. Your build is a topic of discussion among lots of my KC buddies lately. Can't wait for boost!
 
Thank you sir, I would appreciate that! I would be more than happy to try anything on this end being as I have a oive car to demo on if you have a recommendation from them. PM me for my contact info and we can visit via phone or text.

Thanks man! I'm soooo ready to drive her again. We're so close! Should be some videos this weekend, i'm charging the GoPro. Provided there are no real issues, she should be out and about starting on the tuning finally. Got a few friends up that direction, love those guys! Can't wait to get up and see everyone! MAYBE this will finally be the year I keep a project long enough to make the KC2K events!
