Totally agree with you. The catalytic converters are the most restrictive element of pretty much any turbo exhaust. It's generally right after the turbo and reduces the pressure differential pre turbine to post turbine. The differential in pressure is what drives the turbine. When you...

Piggy backing is far more dangerous because you are modifying what voltages the ECU will see, potentially also bypassing safegaurds. So basically all could be going to hell and your ECU will think everything is fine and dandy. Imagine just one loose wire in the harness. Or one resistor...

I don't think you'll see 300whp unless really pushing with full bolt ons and ethanol. The turbo is pretty small. Torque I bet 350wtq would be relatively easy. I'd like to look to Cobb for support as the accessport is a relatively great easy to use system. Acesstuner pro is the way to go if...

IMO Piggy backing is the worst way of tuning. Tricking ECU systems by modifying voltages. You get subpar, unsafe results. Flashing is the way to go. If people are worried about warranty claims they shouldn't be touching anything not offered by Ford.

It could be argued both are pretty great lol.

Supplemental meth injection is pretty nice. I've only used it when I didn't live in an area where I couldn't easily get ethanol for factory fueling system. I just found the safeguards of the factory fueling system and logic to be superior. For example a system might not have any safegaurds in...

yeah, you know people do this thing called tuning? Its amazing. You can actually scale fuel flow by way of the injectors and fuel density literally, tens of thousands of people have been doing this across multiple platforms. Most of them using pre-built tunes provided by a vendor. Your...

Lol, those were the good days though.

Here's a close look at the scheduling department at Ford

I was one of the early orders at my dealership, so naturally, I'm sure I'll be last.

I have a while before I can trade in, need to pay off my loan first before I can think about trading in. I would love to, but mountain biking has taken hold of my life and wallet hence why I sold my last fast car.

I'll probably do it in a couple years when I trade in my HR-V. I miss going fast. Wife will have the hybrid, I'll have the ecoboost.

139 in a week? Lol. Guess us hybrid owner will be waiting forever if that's the pace that's maintained.

Is you mustang twin turbo?

People have been doing it years with success with very little needed. Personally I did it on an integra (oldest of all the cars) for 15 years before selling, a mazda for 8 years before selling, a BMW for 6 years before selling. All run on some higher blend of alcohol. The integra, I ran...

focus guys are making decent power and torque. Especially with larger turbos since the stock unit is more focused on low end torque due to small A/R of the turbine and compressor housings, and a small wheel.

It’s about 2/3 the energy density. So if you ran E100 you’d have to add about 1/3 more fuel then with c8 hydrocarbons. But it’s knock resistance that you’re after when high performance tuning. Once you start shoving a whole lot of boost, a lot of timing, a lot of compression, tons of heat...

I edited that out, I don’t think anyone will get the reference unless they are a cinephile, not meant to be an insult. yes I mentioned that I am getting a hybrid. But posted the question in ecoboost. I guess I misinterpreted the audience and how many would understand what I’m talking about .

Ive tuned to 85% and have run low 11s quarter miles on other vehicles, And have tuned engines for others. this thread is for discussing who plans on tuning their ecoboost maverick on higher percentages of ethanol to run more power

manufacturers state you shouldn’t do a lot of things….
