So I bought a 70k lightning motor complete for my 01 supercrew. I am now trying to think about what I will need to buy to complete the tuning ect.. I am thinking that it will need a tune and xcal? Does troyer or someone else have a tune that I can buy because I just dont trust anyone around reno,nv to do it.

Any help is appreciated and please let me know what else I will need...

Thanks Dave

 

Troyer can hook you up with a tune.
Do you have any pics? Just how complete is it?
Kinda hard to tell you what you need if we don't know exactly what you have!

Ok ya I guess that would help... Here are some pictures (not getting the tranny) and also what exactly do I need to buy for the tune? Also does all the computer wiring just clip in and work or do I need to adjust anything?

Here is what I know I will need:

heat exchanger
intercooler pump
intercooler tank
tune and tuner
im using my fan if it works, this one is broken
Maf and intake

 

Looks good.
Only thing I'm not seeing is the throttle and cruse cables. If you have them and with your small list you should be good to go.
And yes, the L wire harness should plug right in to your truck.
As for tuning, when you decide on the tuner(person doing the tune) let them recommend which device to buy that they use most or are most familiar with.

Does troyer have preprogrammed tunes for this type of swap? What tuner do they use and how much are they?

 

Troyer will wright you a custom tune for the swap.
Not sure what tuner they use but you can plan on spending between 350 and 500 bucks.

I sent you some info. Can't see pictures. so I sent you a list of all the parts. If you email pictures I could refine the list.

Thanks for the list! I need a 255lph pump also right? How much boost/hp can I run with a single 255?

 

255 should handle your Eaton and 42lb injectors just fine.

 

i wouldn't go over 10-12# with it though

 

when it gets in get a good shot of the runners

 

Will do. Where can I get a 255lph fuel pump? I live about 10 miles from summit racing but the guys that work there are idiots so thought I would ask?

 

Walbro is a could brand p/n 342. Fits a lot of applications. Any speed shop. Ebay has some off brands.

 

Go over to Lightning Rodder and sign up....

You can easily get everything you need by asking for it and in the classifieds.

Also your best bet is to contact JJ @ WoodBine Motorsports, he is one of the most knowledgable tuners for the lightnings and is a great supporting vendor over there...
You also will likely need a Lightning calibrated computer to start with and twin pumps.........Someone will likely be able to hook you up with one of those over there also....Tell em STRK BY sent ya http://www.woodbinemotorsports.com/

Good luck........http://www.lightningrodder.com/forum...splay.php?f=14

 

There are several good forums out there you can go to. In addition to above, NLOC and NHTOC. Woodbine is a good tuner. He is located in Northern Maryland. He did the second tune in my truck. As far as number of pumps, 1-255 is fine for your current mods and since you are going to stay with the stock NA ECM it will not support the Lightning dual fuel pump arrangement.

Good luck!
