Well, I copied my album pic address from properties and then clicked the insert image button, pasted the address in there, but, no pic.

 

I have to play around a little more with this later on.

Looks great! You can link to pictures in your own galley using the little insert image icon in the post message box header. Just get the address of the picture in your gallery by right clicking on the imageselecting properties and the coping the address. You then paste this address into the insert image dialog box.

Thanks for the help on instructions for pasting my album pics in here. I have a few more pics on the Intake that I installed too.

 

How do you make the album pics nice and big?

look up what I did to raise my gas mileage and horse power.

I will be doing a four wheel dyno and tracking the fuel/air ratio during the dyno test just to make sure that my engine is staying with-in the required allowed limits of not running too lean.

'You will need to look at my album and my past posts.

 

The dealer checked my fuel/air ratio and it is sitting right on 25% allowed limits.

 

I get 19-23 MPG around the suburb in warm weather, and 23-28 MPG on the flat Florida highways as long as I do not have a heavy load, or any load, added to my car, exept me driving in it, and I stay at 55 MPH to 75 MPH.

Then, those are my mileage figures week after week with regular 10% ethinol gas. I think I have about 50 HP gain from factory settings.

 

I have an AWD too with a glass roof. I may have up to 390 HP, according to my dealer /service people, but the dyno will tell all.

 

Ps;. MY Sport is so much faster than any other SEL or any fwd. Edge, and most any other standard car on the road now (except fpr others that have fixe up their cars with high performance add-ons. It does roar when I give it that little extra press on the gas, and is much more responsive too.

 

Alos, I have driven it 9,000 miles now, like this, and it runs great.

iF YOU CLICK ON MY gALLERY, YOU CAN SEE ALL MY PICS AND MY ALBUM.

 

i DON'T KNOW HOW TO POST THE PICS YET.

This was a factory Edge hitch ordered from the dealer and then installed by the dealer.

The Brembos were 355 mm six piston kits and ordered on-line by me.

 

The car really stops great, now!

I had the dealer do the installations.

 

The hitch required the right angle to be cut off and then it mounted perfectly under the painted bumber cover.

The Brembos required 1/4" spacers to fit our 22" wheels.

 

The hitch fit in place like a factory installation with a little cut-out in the black plastic part of the middle of the bumper.

 

I have pics, but don't know how to post them.

 

If you want to see them, tell me how to upload them. I did post other pics on the Header of the Forum web site, but you guys want them shown here, so tell me how to do this.

Hey Buzzman,

 

I am also in South Florida (Boca). I also have the sport with AWD and glass roof and all. Wonder if you would be interested in a meet, so that I could give it a quick spin. Since I am all stock and have been driving it for 2 months, I should be able to tell a real difference and report so.

 

Interested?

 

Why don't we race your Edge against mine, at the Palm Beach raceway, or,....we could just meet at a traffic light, open the windows (so that you can hear this thing when it kicks, it sounds like a BEAR Growling from 4000 RPM's all the way up), and we will see how we do side by side. Powerline road turns into a nice long stretch (it becomes Jog Rd.) up after Delray at Lake Ida Road. Lets do that.

 

You can send me your phone number privately by e-mail corrospondence, here.

 

I will be adding one of these to my GTR, by the way. You guys can'y squawk about somthing you never tried, but Seeing is Believing,..... but I will try to have the dyno it with and withou, plus run a diagnostics run test on it at jap trix in Riviera Beach. Don't worry, they do the print-outs for you all to see (if it works on the GTR).

It may be that Nissan already runs the ECU limits all the way to the threshold limits, so ....we will see.

You may want to log your fuel trims to see how they have been affected by the intake. Intakes like that will typically lean the afr mixture due to the increased airflow. The factory computer is able to compensate +/- 25% but ideally you want that compensation to be as small as possible for optimal efficiency.

 

The edge may not be as prone to changes in airflow causing problems but many new fords that are drive by wire (like the edge) are.

 

I don't think that having a regular tube size with a standard K&N Cone Filter is going to change things by very much in the amount of extra air that the engine is sucking in, but I may be able to get my Ford guys to check and do a diagnostic just to see where we are on things (especially since I now have the G-Force chip added and running Excellent).

 

I finally got to talk to the Technical guys at G-Tech and they did tell my how their programmed chip works and how it controls the engine and ECU, while (they say) keeping things totally safe and with-in warranty specs.

 

Here Goes: The tech said that the chip is always turned on, by running on the voltage level that is coming from the AIT sensor that would be connected to the ECU down line, but we have tapped inbetween this connection (between the ECU and the AIT sensor). The Chip only needs a low amount of voltage to run and stay turned on, as the AIT line supplies the voltage for the chip to stay "ON" even though the AIT line varies up & down in voltage, based on the volume and temperature (and maybe the humidity level I am not sure) of the air running past it.

 

It normally is going from a lower voltage to a higher voltage, based on that, plus humidity, I think, and then the ECU makes changes to its programmed controls from seeing these higher or lower voltage levels from the AIT sensor.

 

Now, the chip has been programmed specifically for my 2011 Sport Edge 3.7 Engine, to change these voltage limits to actually go higher or lower than the factory spec levels, but not always, as it is active and does change and vary, based on the voltage levels that are coming into the chip, from the AIT sensor.

 

The main techician at G-Force Chips, told me that the voltage sent on from their chip to the ECU will differ, based on what the sensor is sending it, and it will be different under varying conditions. He said that if it were hot and humid outside, the chip will send out, say, a higher voltage than normal or stock, once the temperature has reached a certain temperature level, otherwise, it may just stay idle and not send the higher voltage to the ECU, than the stock voltage level. If the air outside was cold and dry, the chip may send a lower than normal voltage level to the ECU. If the temperature and humdity were say, in mid range, the chip may run a medium level, or it may not, based on my engine type and the programming from Ford, for my ECU type, (that Ford put in my Engine design).

 

They say that they have it actively changing output to the ECU and being raised to the higher end of the Warranty spec range when the engine is under load, or when being pushed to higher RPM's, or harder gas pedal pressure, while it is actually shutting down and lowered to a lower setting than stock Ford settings, when not needing the extra power level setting, when I am just gliding along on a flat highway at a resonable speed, and not needing the extra OOMF.

This gives me better gas mileage when cruzing, but it also seems that with the extra OOMF setting, it doesn't use as much gas, as it seems to run really smooth, really, really smooth, even when giving it a little extra exceleration run. It is now much smoother than stock.

 

They say that the ECU, having the new levels high and low, from this sensor line, makes the ECU re-program itself and then,......OH MY G--D! The car runs like a G--D Damn Race Car, when you give it a little extra push and run it up to top end (or not)! The shifts are smooth and precise, and the control to the tiny-est amount of giving the gas peddle a little more or a lttle less, is like dialing in 50x precise settings on the gas pedal! Even if I change the amount on the gas pedal, while the car is taking off, the control lets off exactly by the small degrees that I control. I AM REALLY IMPRESSED at how well the car drives now.

 

Earlier in the week, I had the wrong pin-out location and have now fixed it according to the factory MAF, ECU, wiring diagram for my 2011 Sport 3.7 Engine.

 

My car is now amazing even with the AWD, glass roof, extra 440 Lbs. or so, ....IT is Really Fast! I think it would beat a lot of cars out there on the street and definately any STOCK FORD EDGE front wheel drive.

 

It feels like I have added 40-50 HP. with the Intake and this one little $69 added change. JUST AMAZING! I will see if my Ford guys will do a diagnostic on it, just to make sure that it is all safe, but the guys at G-Force, claim that they have programs for most cars out there, just about, and that the limits and outputs, as well, as the effects that they control, have all been programmed to allow the car to a higher limit when it needs more OOMF and then higher limits on running with lower settings when running with less fuel, when it doesn't need the extra OOMF.

 

Blivitt, I would love it if you would buy one and try it, and then, measure all the things that you know about, with the safety needs for these engines, to see if it all is really working in safe ranges and doing what they say it is doing.

 

You know I drive a Nissan GTR 2010 as a daily driver and I know what a good OOMF is when you press down on the gas (handling too). This Edge Sport 2011 has woken up! It is pretty quick, and drives great so far, smoother than it did, with no bucking or dogged out limping off the line from a light, as it did now and then when stock, for what-ever reason.

 

It took about 100-miles, just as they predicted, for the ECU to re-program to these new allowed levels and WHAM! It turned on, all-of-a-sudden! Just like that, It ran like a whole different car and engine. It was running pretty good before that with the chip now correctly installed, but it noticably woke up and smoothed out even better at around that 100-mile mark or so.

 

The only thing the Sport Edge needs, to finish it off, will be a good set of brakes and discs, to match the power and performance. I think 13" discs, 8piston-calipers, might finish it off to being a great driving safe car with great brakes. I may add the HDI lights too, we will see.

 

I will let you know if we get the diagnostics run on the engine to try to see what we have now, but really, spend the $69 and test it. You can remove it and return it later if you wish.

 

I had all of this great increase in engine performance this week on regular gas, and I now get 24 MPG @ 70 MPH and 28 MPG @ 65 MPH. (I was getting 23 MPG @ 65 MPH stock), all driving on Flat Florida Highways.

 

I got 18 MPG in traffic (I was getting 16-17 MPG stock) and I was running the gears up a lot this week to top end, to test it, over and over (18 MPG doing all this all week long).

I got 22 MPG around suburban areas, where before I was getting less, like 18-20 MPG stock, if I was really careful on the gas, and trying to get good mileage.

 

The air intake helped a lot too, (it also seemed to re-program the ECU at around 60-80 miles of use,and then ran really good with getting better mileage and more OOMF).

 

Adding this chip, though,....WOW! THis car is losing nothing by being a heavier AWD Sport, and I am telling you, it feels like another 40-50 HP.

 

I may go get it dyno'ed, if everything checks out in the safe zones as needed with diagnostics.

Hey Buzzman,

 

Where did you get the intake system from? Saw your pics, the setup looks sweet and your car is really nice, love the White sport!

 

Is the intake made specifically for the 2011 Edge?

 

Would it work on a Limited Model and will using this intake void my warranty with Ford? I heard for Cold air intakes or new air setups like yours, you need to make sure it's approved with Ford first?

 

Thanks!

I got it from Rick Gandoy at ProzenMotors.com. It was $115 +$35 for the K&N cone filter upgrade and $20 for priority shipping.

 

My car has been running like a BEAR and GROWLs as it pulls really nice and strong. I still have great mileage numbers even with my AWD 2011 3.7 Engine.

 

I have been getting 25-27 MPG Highway, and I just ran a full tank of Premium, and the mileage is no-better, but the power,......is even Better, Noticably better!

 

Sorry about the Supercharger in Hot weather. I thought they were not susceptible to the Heat & Humidity on the quarter mile runs at the track. My Turbos run pretty consistant, no-matter what the weather or conditions, but yes,.....when it is cool, like 50-degrees, well, then, I run even better.

Incorrect; look it up.

 

I too am an engineer which is why I would never use an IAT resistor.

 

Like I said, you do what you want. They are obviously selling these things and ill informed consumers buy them.

I got NOTHING to do with Chips or selling them.

 

You can look up BuzzmanAwnings.com. That is what I do and have done for 25-years.

q

It's not a scam. They simply advance the timing which yields more power but requires premium fuel. It's a little more complicated but that's a basic tuning action, even before computers and it works.

YEP! Now that I got the wiring diagram for my edge, and the connector wiring for the MAF/IAT connector, along with the G-Force unit and their instructions, I believe you all!

 

Akirby's responce is right on too. They are tuning the car by adding Premium fuel and getting a little more advanced timing set through the IAT sensor with this (just as Blivitt said Over & Over, sorry about not listening to you Blivitt).

 

I will still mess with it just to see what it does and then,.......You probably all know my answer. Thanks Blivitt. Thanks Akirby. Thank you everyone!

 

I guess the ecu will reprogram itself to a little higher advanced timing setting by doing the G-Force chip, but I got a decent ecu switch (or reprogramming after driving 50-miles or so) and a noticable power increase and increased gas mileage bump, already, when I added the nice, large air intake with a K&N filter.

 

I think the change in power & mileage might be about at the same level of results doing one or the other. I will test it to see if it goes up even more, by adding the g-Force Chip and Premium fuel added along with the nice Air Intake to accompany the extra air that it wants and needs when doing this. We will see, and then, I will make my decision to let it stay, or send it back.

I told you that I like playing with things to see how they work or don't work. I won't do it for long, if it is a Mickey Mouse type of thing.

 

PS. How do I set up my pics for this Forum when all I see is a web site link that is needed to get it assigned to my reply? I set up some pics in the gallery of the intake on my car. I don't know how to address it to place one pic here.

Obviously it's a really really sophisticated and really really expensive.............................IAT resistor.

Maybe. I am not sure, but they insist that if I open up the module unit, I will find a programmed Computer chip that they burned a program into, that will drive two lines with a programmed response, in amplitude and toggling, with a set on/off sequence depending on what the car engine is doing.

 

All I can do is try it and see how she works. They claim that my ECU will actually reprogram some of its parameters by doing this, and will re-program the ECU further, if I drop in a full tank of Premium fuel, for even more horse power increase. So, have any of you guys called the G-Force people to quiz them? You might find out more than I got out of them to see if this is really any good or not. You guys definately know more about tuning and such, than I do, as I have never really done much of that with any of my cars. I did buy and program a HUMMER H-2 in 2007 and I did love the results, until the ECU crapped out due to some tuner programming problems that the company made good on for me. They sent me a new pre-programmed unit with an update and a new ECU. It sucked because my Hummer was stuck in a parking lot for two weeks waiting for the new units to be figured out and mailed to me.

 

I just don't want any codes going OFF and limping into emergency modes, etc. I want it simple if it works.

 

I should receive it by Friday and will let you know.

 

I am also an electrical engineer and quizzed a few different people at G-Force about it. It sounds like it will check out.

 

"As for a Supercharged Mustange Engine running Hotter than normal in Florida and runs just fine", all of the time, well, that is pressurized air which is basically unaffected by the Hot, Humid air.

 

I own a Twin Turbo 2010 GTR and it always runs great, because it is presurrized. I ran my Lotus at the track on a hot summer night at the 1/4 mile track and it ran 2-second slower than the following week when it there was a slight cool snap with lower humidity (without running the Nitrous that is on it). The GTR always runs about the same at the track, no-matter what the weather.

 

My 20-year Old Dodge Stealth Twin turbo (that I have owned for 20-years), gutted and set up with a Stillen stage III set-up, always runs about the same too, (Turbos pressurizing the engine, gets rid of the Hot, Humid, sluggish mode, of what our weather does to our cars performancs here. Straight built-up engine's here, are effected by this type of weather.

 

I added a 100HP shot of Nitrous/Wet, to my Lotus a few years ago (2005), and it does help, but it is not as good against the Hot, Humid days, as a twin Turbo or a Super charger. The Lotus/Toyota Engine Loves the Juice and has shown no signs of Motor power loss or response all these years. I do have to be careful with the whimpy clutch though, but it is all still original.

 

I do pull times of 11.2 sec. to 11.7 sec. in the quarter mile with the little Lotus Elise, which just depends on weather or not I hit the Juice in First gear on up, or start that spray in second gear, then on up.

 

I did add the nice Intake and would like to show pics. How do I upload to this forum on my reply?

 

Ps. I now get 22 MPG on my AWD 2011 Sport when going 75MPH, 24 MPG going 70 MPH, and 27 MPG going 65 MPH (plus 20 MPG City/suburbs). I was getting 16 MPG City and 18-20 MPG going 70-75MPH. So, the Intake did this so far for me.

 

It also has a nice throaty sound when it runs up to 4000 RPM's, plus a little bit of a Super charger whistle noise when you get on it, and it sounds like an Evil Bear, when it hits 6000 RPMs. I think it pulls a little stronger, but that is hard to tell with just this little extra horse power added.

 

So, I try things and see how they work.

Being in the industry, I would never use one of those "chips." All it will do is trick the IAT into thinking it is actually cooler in temperature. The reason this "works" is the factory parameters are set to retard timing (minimally) as IAT increases so in theory if it is cooler less timing is taken out. You're tricking the computer and not measuring true temperature.

G-Force has been around for a while now.

They stated to me by phone that their chip is an actual CHIP which is programmed on a Chip Burner with a Pre-Programmed TUNE that will actually change the ECU programming parameters just as a Tuner box will, but that it will be just one tuned program.

 

It is not a resister of a system that changes the temperature readling. They say that those that do that out there are cheap ways to get your car to run a little more advanced than factory, but are really not very good.

 

This is a Chip with a program that is individually burned for my 2011 Sport Edge 3.7 Engine and that programs are individually set with their our needed Tune based on the car, engine, etc.

 

This is supposed to do just what the hand held will do, but is limited to just one nice 35-40HP increase on my engine and that it will show on a Dyno, and they do encourage me to do it and get the word out! $69 and it just plugs in ahead of the ECU.

 

Mine arrive this week.

Hi all, first post. I've read through here a lil bit, but I'll hope this wasnt covered before....

 

My wife just bought a 2010 Edge Ltd with My Ford Nav. Its a great car, but it needs a lil more oomph I think... it just doesnt go like my car... Anyways... any recommendations on a Cold Air Intake for these cars? Which engines drivetrains are the same year wise...?

 

I looked at the Steeda of course, and I've heard of, but not found a Ford CAI. Not sure if its just Ford or FRPP. Though I'm not crazy on Ford tunes because they are pretty conservative, so if you want to buy a new tune, nothing talks to the ford tuners... I would prefer to stick with something I can use an SCT on, and buy as a kit (CAI and tuner) or even an NTR CAI. Thanks for the help.

Check out my reply on; "Performance Chips and Modules" with Blivitt.

 

I bought my air intake from Rick Gindoy at www.ProZenMotorsports.com and he has great experience with our Ford Edge plus many other cars, for hand building the cold air intakes for the edge.

It is 3" diameter, by the way, not 4", and I did do the upgrade K&N for $35 extra. I will post pics and the performance difference before and after when I get it next week and install it. The total cost on e-bay from him is; $115 + $35 +20 shipping. You can't beat that! It looks great on the MKZ that he shows on the e-bay sales listing.

 

If you guys tell me how to upload some pics, I will send them to the Forum on this reply.

 

Tell Rick that Buzzman sent you to him, just for the heck of it.

The reason this "works" is the factory parameters are set to retard timing (minimally) as IAT increases so in theory if it is cooler less timing is taken out. You're tricking the computer and not measuring true temperature.

Can tricking the ecu or the IAT into thinking it has a slightly cooler running temp than it really has, be harmful the car?

 

I live in South Florida and it is always really hot out anyway. That is why our cars are always running around slightly in Retarded mode, more than not.

 

It is too hot out and 90%-100% humidity almost all year long.

 

WE lose a good 30 HP and most cars here, bog out on turns, stops, and Stop&Goes. They get, "not great mileage" from this condition and just run at bear minimum factory specs for gas mileage.

 

So, fooling the IAT into correcting the timing a little and running closer to 14:1 air/fuel ratio, should keep it better, cleaner,and running near the higher end of the factory midrange specs, right?

 

and know about it when I have my car serviced, with no reprocussions at all by them.

 

Do you think I could cause any more (or less) damage to the longevity of the engine over, using a Tuner instead? The tuner can really mess things up for the engine,.... running at maxed out levels, on every plane, if I screw it up or don't get it tuned well enough, right?

 

With this thing, I think it is safer for us, and if we put a tankful of Premium fuel, into the car here and there, then the car will run "good and fired up" for just that one tankful, with a good extra punch of power and gas mileage, right?

 

Then, back to regular gas and just the few extra miles per gallon, all the while, having an extra 30HP or so, just enough extra that is wanted and needed for this.

 

So, is there anything else that might be damaging over the long term by doing the Module hook-up?

 

Let me know please. Ps. I am also putting in a 3" aluminum long tube to the divers side far corner of the engine bay, with a K&N filter cone, and some adapter plates to keep the MAF sensor from triggering a Check Engine Light and then the Limp mode sequence, if it is needed. The adapters if needed will change the air flow circulation just a little bit to make sure the intake air is not too high or swirled ahead of the MAF, if that triggers the sensor. So, do I have this part correct? I think this is all I will need on the airfilter set up at worst case. Please advise.

Check out zchips & Mods

 

I am buying a cold air 4" tube and K&N with the Maf adapter built-in, plus a G-Force Module.

 

What do you think?

Don't bother - it doesn't work. Not sure if Buzzman was being sarcastic or serious but either way it's a waste of money.

From the Buzzman: Well, Akirby does not have any written proof that teh G-Force does not work.

I will buy it and dyno the car before and after and track the mileage before and after.

 

If it works, then great! If it does not, ...I get my money back.

 

The G-force.com module controls the AST sensor that regulates your fuel air mixture, just as a Tuner would, but without changing your internal CPU programming.

 

It does not hurt your Ford Warranty.

 

It keeps your fuel air mixture at the perfect settings, even when it is Hot out, or you are stopping and then gunning it on a turn from a stop sign, etc.

 

You don't get the Bogged down hesitation and your fuel economy goes up to peak performance at all times.

 

Ford and other manufactures, have to set their tuning at a mediocure level of keeping your emmissions and stuff well within regulations, plus to limiy the extra power and concerns for all edges making thru the warrantee term, which hurts your HP and your mileage by 3-4 MPG.

 

Also, when you add a full tank of 93 octane fuel, you instantly get a retuned and sensor controlled 35-45 HP increase! The module retunes as needed!

 

So,....you want a higher mileage car, with similar but improved performance, just run regular fuel 87 octane.

 

You want a suped up version for awhile, just add Premium fuel!

 

I like the concept, and there is no down side to always trying to tune or retune your car, and,...you never have tuning issues or problems!

 

i will give it a try and report all in writing.

 

Akirby just mouths off all over this forum about it not working, and to forget it. Well, he does not have any proof of that. The company has been doing this for years with a money back guarantee, if you do not notice a good noticable improvement. they just set up the 2011 modules and are ready for purchase for the Ford Edge 2011.

 

I for one, try things and experiment to see if they really do what they claim. So far, this seems to be the simplest way to get some extra OOOOOOMMFFFF!

Sounds good, plz keep us posted. I don't think I'm familiar with the "G-Force Sensor Module"?

 

I will keep you guys informed. The car is awaiting trucking into the US and then down to FL.

 

It could take three more weeks. I will then order the Module and Air Intake after delivery of the car. They take just a week or so to arrive.

It is a factory option on the Edge up to the Limited model, but NO towing package is available from the factory on the Sport.

 

I asked several dealers about a possible dealer installed hitch on a Sport, but nobody would do it. Best I could get was a referral to a local hitch company. It would be the ugly "hanging below the bumper" type. No way to get a factory installed looking one that's built into the bumper assembly. Sucks because I really wanted the Sport, but I need to pull a trailer fairly often. Looking at the Limited now.

I ordered a 2011 Sport and I also got my dealer to include a stock Edge 2011 Hitch & Module harness for his cost, added to my bill.

 

They will not install it, maybe, or maybe they will, for the added labor, but either way, I got my local Hitch shop to agree to install the Ford Hitch and hook-up for staight labot $44 for the hitch and $66 for the lights/module.

I will order a nice air intake and a G-Force Sensor Module, and dyno it before and after, for my 2011 AWD Sport.

 

I will also look into the x-3 from Evolution, and see what the claims are there.

 

If the g-force does not work, it will go back, and I will order the Evolution system programmer.

 

The car is due in 2-3 weeks.

Just wanted to say Hi just picked up a 2011 SEL AWD In Platinium White with 22in Sport Rims I am very pleased indeed .......

I have a 2011 Sport AWD due in about 2-3 weeks. I wanted to know how you like the power and handling with the heavier AWD (400lbs), even though you have the 3.5 Engine.

 

Let us know how all that is please.

My 2011 Sport Edge AWD White (for South Florida) began production Sept. 11th. It should have the works loaded into it and ship ina 2-3-weeks.

I will add the Intake and the Warranty approved G-Force Chip to boost the power to around 335-350 HP.

The milage should go up as well, so I will post the difference before and after.

 

I found a GREAT custome Hand built Intake and will reveal all that with pictures, once I get mine installed.

The K&N Cone Filter will sit up front, just behind the head light where the fresh cool air comes right in through the grill.

 

The Intake Tube is about 3 1/2" -4" in diameter, with Blue Silicone gastkets and the MAP and sensors machined into it.

 

It should do the trick to get me the 350HP. that I want.

 

I can also dyno this before and after, on the AWD dyno at Jap Trix, in West Palm Beach.

 

So Proof on paper, should show all.
