Sean's CSVT #5906 Build Thread !

I'm hoping for somewhere in the neighborhood of 200hp and 200ft/lbs. But we'll see... I'm tuning for regular, too cheap for prem fuel. lol :p
 
haha yeah, mines for 91. and my other tune is for 94, :eek: talk about fuel rape!

hows the driving coming along in it? learn everything?
 
Drivings been good, still not the greatest though.

Need to work on matching my revs between shifts... Sometimes I'll fire one good shift off after another matching the revs perfectly and no delay between shifts and other times I just can seem to get them matched or do it at a reasonable pace. :p

But it's a learning process... Should be good to drive to the dyno. Hopefully don't run into too much traffic. Or worse, stop and go traffic while going up hill!!!
 
Nice, well don't try too hard, that's when you start screwing up lol.

Tonight I took my tuned ECU from the silver car apart, and swapped the SCT tuned flipchip to my cars ECU. As soon as she started, the iffy throttle response was gone and she seemed to have very good response..ran smoother as well but I talked to Nima (96blackse) who tuned it and he informed me my stock ECU had been flsahed by him as a base tune on 94octane, not the greatest tune but good enough to get by so I'm thinking that's why. As soon as I put this 91 octane SCT tuned flipchip in, with a very good tune, it runs 100x better! Just gotta fix the p/s fluid leak now and then she could be ready for a drive...
 
thanks. my issue now is trying to find this leak....its near the bottom of the pump, where the timing cover has like a dip in it. its all wet there, and drips from that location.
 
always! hahaha


i wish it could be this weekend but its a first cousins wedding saturday with an open bar so.............................ya lol..sunday, not doing anything

Swapped power steering pumps, and my leak disappeared. turns out the hardline that angles towards the passebger tower that connects to the hose to the reservoir had been slightly bent, causing the flange to not sit flush on the top of the pump and the seal, so fluid leaked out there.

Butttt now, even with new fluid in, the steering shudders when turning the wheels and makes noise so theres gotta be tons of air in the system still. i must have turned the wheels lock to lock 10 times and it didnt fix it, should i maybe release the hardline flange and "bleed" it there first?



On a good note, .........................got my pre98 lid back from the bodyshop! Waiting on my tinted tails now to finish it off :)

Here's the page straight from the Ford Service CD for a 2002 Cougar, should be exactly the same... Don't know if it will help though, requires a tool to maintain a vacuum pressure...

I didn't need to bleed mine, so I'm not sure if there's a backyard method to this. I even had my power steering reservoir drained and removed and didn't have an issue...

just got it bled! i jacked the front end up so the wheels were off the ground, then slowly turned lock to lock and held it for 5-8 seconds at each side for about 5-6 times and shes good now :)
