I’m still debating intercooler or meth injection. Clean valves, 120 Oct, and low iat’s.
I'm wondering if turbo lag will increase significantly. I asked that question in another thread and it remains unanswered.
With my experience no. Mainly because our turbos are so tiny they are able to spin up so fast. I’m willing to bet it’s not even noticeable.
I came to the same conclusion and decided to purchase the larger intercooler. Since my experience with turbos is limited to one Porsche I wanted to hear from people who had made the upgrade.
Why not both? They do much the same thing in totally different but complimentary ways.
I used a huge intercooler (Mishimoto J-line) on my Fiesta ST which has a 1.6 liter and an even smaller turbo and lag was imperceptible.
Both would be a complete waste. Meth does everything better. You will never come close to the low ait’s of meth with any intercooler. So it would be a complete waste. I’ve tracked both in my focus rs and intercoolers can never get below ambient even if 100 percent efficiency. Meth can plus you get to actually add power with more octane.
the tunes I've seen raise it to 130, but it is probably configurable if you have a real need for a little more. you could do math on the rpm at 60 or 70 and figure out what's a practical limit, but even if it had the horsepower to get there I am not sure I'd sign up to be in a Maverick doing 140+.Did you ever get a chance to see what your top end is? Hopefully I'll be getting mine in a few months and once it's here, I live in Stuttgart, Germany, I'll tune it and send it down the Autobahn to see what she can do. I was planning on taking it to the Nordschliefe but they no longer allow pick-ups so I'll just have to have it photoshopped on there
Well, my VK56 swapped frontier is pretty smooth at 120ish and it's a brick so I figure the smaller and smoother Maverick will be as good or better. And once I get the Fast Maverick brakes installed, I'll be more comfy doing those speeds as well.the tunes I've seen raise it to 130, but it is probably configurable if you have a real need for a little more. you could do math on the rpm at 60 or 70 and figure out what's a practical limit, but even if it had the horsepower to get there I am not sure I'd sign up to be in a Maverick doing 140+.
yes, lowered truck with summer or UHP all-season tires is very different than full stock suspension and 112-mph rated tires.
I've gotten it to 140, 5 star tuned. The truck REALLY doesn't like it at that speed, cornering at 120+ with stock height shocks is also a terrifying experience. Not to mention that most tires (including the stock contis) are H rated and technically cap out at 130...Did you ever get a chance to see what your top end is?

No meth would and does not increase turbo lag at all. In fact it can reduce it if sprayed early and timing is adjusted. Think more anti lag.
