Ivan,
Super impressed with everything you've been doing for the Maverick community! I've had my 2022 XLT since Nov 22, and I've been patiently waiting to start my modifications -- I've really just wanted to see more aftermarket availability catch up, rather than buy the first/only product on...
Hi Mitch,
I'm going through the process of upgrading my XLT over the next ~6mos, and I had all but made up my mind I was going to go with the RaceChip GTS piggyback. Then you go and post this, and I have the opportunity to buy from an American supplier who seems to be specifically catering to...
Haven't done custom-fabrication myself, I'm very accustomed to DIY household work (electric, plumming, framing, etc.), but haven't done anything automotive beyond basic-bolt-ons and some very simple electrical work. So point taken, I had assumed with FMIC there would be accessory kits for...
So I thought I read something that says if you buy an intercooler that exceeds your needs, it actually can be counterproductive. Any truth to that?
I hate bothering you all with these types of questions, as clearly you all are well past my intended goals in how you're modifying your Mavs...
What's the thought on Mishimoto Z-Line intercooler for a mod-list like what I'm chasing? Says it's ideal for RWHP up to 325 ... I don't think the setup I'm looking at would actually get that high, so this seems like a good place to start? AM tracks it as compatible with the 2022 2.3L Mustang...
Kudos on you're recommendation, looking at JB4 and RaceChip vs. those others my quick Google Search was feeding me, there seems to be a clear distinction between these two legitimate offerings, vs. the Chinese-scam PCMs that plug into your OBD2. I'm going to look into both JB4 and RaceChip a...
Boy, a little more research and it seems like a lot of these OBD2 Chip Tuners are indeed snake oil -- Chinese scams. I'm going to have to do some research here -- open to any recommendations from folks on legit PCMs that don't void warranties, but do indeed provide performance gains and unlock...
Thanks, this feedback is great -- really giving me confidence in my mod list.
Regarding the tunes, I looked up the JB4, and then a handful of other Performance Chip Modules. Looks like this is the world I want to live in for tuning purposes -- something that avoids the "flash footprint" that...
Anyone have experience with performance modules? After seeing a tune would indeed void my warranty, it looks like this module would not.
Again, as a novice, it seems to me like the biggest difference is a custom-tune essentially rewrites the ECU, which voids the warranty ... whereas this just...
Wow, thanks to everyone for the wisdom and replies! If it wasn't already painfully obvious, I'm an absolute novice in this world, so I appreciate folks entertaining my rookie questions. I'm really just looking to make my Maverick a fun daily-driver -- basically, I'm interested in performance...
And hell, while I'm already soliciting opinions ... I'm leaning towards the AFE CAI since that box seems to be tunneled to only pull in air that's passing through the radiator/front-end (colder air), rather than the open K&N that's pulling in air from the entire engine bay (hotter air). Price...
Hi All,
New Maverick owner, I love this forum -- appreciate all the tips and wisdom I can find on here. I'm a previous Mustang owner, loved the bolt-on-mods available for that vehicle, and I'm looking to make some of the same improvements to my new 2.0L Maverick. The single biggest gripe I've...
I got an email from Ford directly, telling me my MY22 was likely to push to MY23, and that they would offer me a financial incentive in August if that happens. So I'm sure there's an order with my name on it. The forum's feedback that it could be a dealers order with my customizations is...
Thanks all for the feedback! You're confirming where I'm leaning, which is to cancel, and reorder for 23 MSRP.
For those asking, I do have a signed purchase order agreement, and an order number from the dealership (4 digit alpha-numeric), but no VIN. I've cross-references the order number on...
So I felt like I got lucky earlier this year -- after calling every dealer on the Eastern seaboard, a Pennsylvania dealership (I live in Virginia) called me and said they'd allow me to take-over an order somebody else had placed, but backed out of. They told me I would only have to pay $3K over...
