All Things Coyote

I would like this thread to be a place for the discussion of Coyote problems and solutions. I have not found the volume of information as regards intakes, exhaust systems, front dress, ECU's etc as compared to LS for those of us who have or intend to install the Coyote behind our heads. I have learned a great deal from the build logs on this forum and some are referenced in this post. The most recent thing I think I have learned is that the intake manifold of the current Coyote which incorporates charge air control valves cannot be reversed because the vacuum tank which permits the operation of the valves interferes with the front of the engine.
I look forward to your posts.
Mike

I'm still waiting to see how or if the aftermarket deals with the 180° crank in the voodoo, its very heavy, has a lot of counterweight, and most of the magazine reporters doing features/reports on it seem to be ignoring that and getting lost in their descriptions.

Enlighten me Jac as I believed one of the advantages of a 180 was a lower reciprocating mass I.e. smaller counterweights. If what you're saying is true, why did they go down this road?

This new ford crank has the rod journals/crank pins forged into a one up/ one down/ one up/ one down shape with two counterweights for each journal/pin rather than the old 180° crank that you & I are familiar with of one up/ two down/ one up with only one counterweight per journal/pin. Why, I gave up trying to read ford people years ago, at a guess exh sound, marketing BS and perhaps being able to package the exh headers into a tight package. As we have discussed before it will be interesting to see where they go from here as extra stroke for capacity increase will come with baggage!

Well that went off topic quickly! LOL

Back on the topic of the Coyote, can someone tell me for sure weather this wire on the engine harness of a 2014 Coyote gets connected to ground ( my guess) or 12V power?
It is part of the engine harness NOT part of the Controls Pack . This is close to the large connector which plugs into the processor.

Thanks!

Jason, I have forgotten. What is your current red line, fuel cut off? The Ford racing guys appear to be very comfortable with 8k for the aluminator.

It is only set to 7800 RPM at the moment. It is still pulling really hard as it hits this RPM mostly due to the cams I have fitted. I have a long road trip coming up in a couple weeks so I might raise it and see how it runs to 8000. The biggest issue is I do drive it all the time without any air filters because of the way it sounds. I gather the 5.2 is a direct bolt in using the same extractors so it would be a good upgrade path.
