Mo powah!! Tunes?

[B_kiz]

So I have a problem where I just can't leave anything stock even at the expense of the warrantee.

I've noticed this engine seems to have a decent amount of spunk already and if it's anything like the engine in the focus ST (are they the same?) there should be a lot of potential to really add some ponies.

Has anyone seen any news about tunes coming out? Or any other performance upgrades? Perhaps some parts are compatible from other ford engines?

MrBoom on YouTube did some mods & tests on his.

Plenty of talk about tunes on here. Several threads. @Buschur is working on an upgraded turbo even. Spend some time looking around.

Ours was put on hold because of the parts development, the truck is in pieces right now with the intercooler and exhaust build and our lack of bay space to get it back in here.

5 Star is doing tunes for Mavs now. From personal experience with the F-150 EcoBoost platform, they make power.

I’m dying for someone to try out the JB4 and review.
it might be me soon if no one else does

I just started a thread covering my tuning setup through BCB.

Manufacturers with 2.0 EB tuning experience coming out soon (Seen thread on Facebook)..

Panda
Livernois Motorsports
Cobb Accessport
Vivid Racing

JB4 is a piggyback (although best one on market)

5 star tuning jacked the price from original price of $490 to $600. I’ve seen mixed reviews on their 3.5 EB tunes.

From what ive read so far there is little to gain on the stock turbo.

Im mainly interested in two points as of now:

1. how stout is the stock block
2. where are the turbo upgrades.

Id venture to say that tuning is going to be lame without a bigger spooly boi.

Everything Ive seen shows small hp gains but good torque gains

They seem to be posting ranger Dyno sheets, not Maverick

Yeah, alot of them just spoof what the ecu sees.

for example, it may tell the ecu you have 0 boost (but really you have like 5psi) so then the turbo (if it’s variable) may change the vanes positions to build more boost… in turn this can give you things like more boost from a start or higher peak values at certain areas of the curve.

the issue one may run into though:
Your tranny may not be rated for that level of Torque, so earlier failure

the ecu itself may have guard bands in place

(For example, they may code it ina. Fashion that says… if you have x rpm, you should have y boost, if not… there is an issue and send a flag for check engine light)

you really don’t want to buy one in a beta or early phase. Let the Guinea pigs work it out.

It has been pretty widely reported that these use a rather small turbo compared to the other 2.0T cars.

We for sure will not see gains like the 2.7 and 3.5 Eco's do in the F150, however, gaining 40whp and roughly 60wtq isn't bad for your basic tune. That is an 18% jump in power. I'm going off of the 5 star dyno plot. They also said this trans is the same as the Edge ST, in which case I don't see us hurting with this 2.0T unless it's forged and running much more power.
