The factory does a better than average job with the intake and exhaust and people doing just intake and exhaust changes have reported very little if any power gains.  This is different than other vehicles in the past.  And most people wouldn’t consider a 5-10 hp bump as considerate or worth the extra cost.

Decent job, yea.

Over a half of a second drop when I had my 11 edge from an intake I made, filter and throttle body.

Ported upper and lower intake, 73MM Throttle body, True cold air, Tune and Exhaust.

Did this on my 3.5 NA 16 explorer and shaved over 2 seconds off of my 0-60. More info in the description.

2 seconds? not on a naturally aspirated engine without forced induction or nitrous in gobs. 

 

Ecoboost, yes, absolutely, it has been done over and over.   Tune + highE fuel, suspension/tire/brake mods, etc. can get you close to or into the low 12's on an ecoboost (sedans).  CUVs and SUVs fight that drag factor tho, so you look to turbos, intercooler, etc.

I beg to differ.

Stock was nearly 9 seconds.

A stock Explorer sport is 6.4 seconds.

PCM should handle the change fine, it's only 12ish more CI. It's been done in an Explorer with no problems.

A good tune will really wake it up though.

I run the $17 Ford Motorcraft and real happy with it.

 

Its highly unlikely that the engine can ingest/swallow the volume of air that the stock air filter's flow restriction inhibits performance. 

That's nice.

Welcome to my post from over 3 years ago......

Still using the same filter in my 2016 explorer.

Still really happy with it.

K, thx, bye.

No, nothing changed since the purchase of the car (2014).

There is a campain from Ford for a new throttle body that you need to talk to your dealer about.

Has the throttle body been changed under the ford campaign?

Need to check the brake booster and the vacuum line going to it.

Pics?

try https://www.12volt.solutions/collections/ford/products/2015-2017-ford-edge-remote-start-plug-and-play-kit-1

I installed a remote start module from them in 5 min on my 16 explorer.

I'd suspect bad coil(s) or plugs.

There are different kinds of "knock".

Knock, as in mechanical knock from excessive engine clearances (PTW, crank and/or rod bearings).

Preignition or detonation knock. Could be caused by low octane fuel, massive piston crown carbon build up, etc.

Tappet noise from the valvetrain.

Which is it?

Pretty sure they are a direct bolt in.

Why would you do that when Ford already makes a turbo version of that engine from the factory?

Why have people been putting turbo chargers on vehicles that didn't come turbocharged from the factory for more years than most on this forum have been alive?

So some wiring burnt, the car didn't catch on fire......

A mod moved it already.

Thanks guys.

This is of course for my new explorer. Their forums are DEAD!

Might be better to move this to the engine section?

Do all 2016 models have the drain in the PTU?

Sorry, I may have missed it.

What kind of intake temperature drops did you see?

Couple of days ago, traded her in for an Explorer.

Anyone have any experience installing on an AWD?

Bolts right up.

Have been told the Magnaflow listed for the FWD does fit the AWD as well.  It is tight, but it fits.

Fits perfectly on the regular 3.5 AWD, not tight.

Unless there is something different on the exhaust with the 3.7 it should be fine.
