Hi Guys,
I have a 2004 F150 5.4 3v, I recently purchased a used roush non intercooled blower kit for it, minus the ECU with the Roush tune. From what I have read online, the roush tune is not worth purchasing, it is very conservative and makes the boost come on very late (3,000 rpm)
I don't want to blow my motor, I will keep the factory 6psi pulley, and possibly add water/meth to keep the temps down... Is there someone who can write new tables for the blower? The roush kit uses the stock fuel pump, injectors and MAF, and reroutes 2 wires from the MAF to an air charge temp sensor in the intake, and uses the wires from the charge motion control valve to control the boost control solenoid. My understanding is the tables for the charge motion control are easily adjusted and therefore could activate the boost bypass solenoid with a lower rpm/load setting, allowing boost to build lower in the powerband (1500-1800rpm ideally). My understanding is Roush also changed the duty cycle for the fuel pump driver to increase fuel flow to the injectors. This difference makes me think I cant simply use the Harley or lightning F150 tables.
Has anyone done this before? Or has a tune that's ready to load?
Thanks for taking the time to read!
Edit: I know a dyno tune would be best to get the most out of the truck, but there isn't one near me, nor a tuner I'm aware of. I like the idea of an "email tune" as long as its safe. Not looking to make a drag truck, just a fun daily driver. I'm not opposed to 8psi
Cheers
