The 03 lincoln is out and hasbeen out .. the incentives for purchase od =f an S model bring the price down dramatically also a demo hlps aswell.. with the saved money i orderd a S/c for Jag type R and its a direct bolt on you need an ecu and injsector and Bam your Linconlc ..plain jain Bmw ish is a 40+ firebreathing fdragon.. capable ( witht the sports package f handlingtop of the lone Euro with little problem.. just don't run into a Jag Rtype.. though with the tweek you'll have you can take him.. luxury above euro performance.. above Euro suspension
and for the cst it was well worth it.. i had mine done by a Lincoln deler in with i new the mechanic bet the price is rasonable and he rewars are out of this world.. Vettes, Ws6 Sin stock form are in for a surprise..not saying you'llbeat them but when your witithin car upto 120 it thriling to say the least

yeah, um, since I speak Missourian, I didn't understand a word you were sayin.

You have my attention now...explain the S/C a little better. Its a bolt on with no problems? Why not chip the LS....why a new ecu? Where did you find the room?

jag I emailed you to get a complete rundown on what is needed for the Supercharger project on the 2000 LS. You say that it is cost effective. How much is it and what kind of problems have you had since the supercharger was installed on the car. Please provide complete details

Thanks

Hum....
def need you to post pics of this car....If its true Mclaren and yourself are the only ones to have a ls that RUNS right with a supercharger...

How much was the total cost of the upgrade? Who did the PCM programming? I haven't found anyone who knows how to accomplish this mod and still have an engine that runs half decent.

ViperACR · #8 08-06-2003, 10:15 AM

I suspect that SPYK does not respond to this because he has not really done this upgrade. Mclaren are the only ones that have this package and they have not stopped doing it. he makes it sound very easlily but the Jaguar engine is bigger and is not a direct bolton as they say. I think it takes a lot of work and it is very difficult to find an ECU that will work. You would have to get a DFI for it to work. I dont believe that SPYK has actually done it as he has not even responded to my emails. He has been posting here on other forums

Why couldnt you reflash the pcm when dyno tuning? This is done alot in Detroit at Pro-M.

CGGorman · #10 08-06-2003, 03:54 PM

nobody has cracked the code used in the LS...yet. You can't even buy a chip for it because of this reason.

joelincoln · #11 08-06-2003, 04:08 PM

Let's not forget the difference in compression. The LS is 10.75:1. The Jag minus SC is like 9:1.

You stick that SC on the high-compression LS and watch what happens...

Really? I'll try to contact Pro-M and ask. It is a obd-III...correct? If so it maybe very difficult but not as hard as one thinks with the correct dynometer and the correct programs for tuning...which means alot of $$.

This prob would be the same as with the Hondas/Acuras.....i understand you cannot chip them, only reflash the PCM.

ViperACR · #13 08-07-2003, 11:08 PM

I agree with you about the compression ratio. The car will ping like crazy now if you do not use Premium fuel. So how can a supercharger be put on the car and not get wild detonation even with a supercharger. The most compression you can have on a forced fed motor is 9.0 to 1. SPYK still has not responded to anyones questions. The only people that have done it are mcClaren engines in Michigan

my compression is 10.1 and im boosted? No detonation......

ViperACR · #15 08-08-2003, 11:42 AM

Cougar I wanted to ask you ho much boost are you running and how much power are you making on your car. How much did it cost as I am assuming that you have a Cougar judging from your name.
