Newbie (1/14)

  1. Coincidentally I just got an email from Livernois and they told me that the older Mycalibrator does not work on my 2019 Edge ST and that they will give me $100 credit towards their new tuner if i mail my old one to them... I hope they aren't trying to con me into a new one just to make a sale...
  2. I had a 2016 Edge Sport with your MyCalibrator, good stuff for sure. Do you guys offer military discount or trade-in allowance for your new tuner for the 2019 Edge ST?
  3. I reached out to them and recently heard back. He said he was able to get one fitted and asked if I wanted to buy it for $850 shipped. It was too late, I already bought an intercooler for the BMW 335i (6x20x6) and in the middle of modifying the mounting points and the map (welding the mount). I also reached out to PumaSpeed in UK hoping they are willing to put the X-37 or X-47 wheel our frame turbo (I have found only one, used turbo in ebay in hopes they reply saying they are willing to do the job). I'm shooting for 500awhp (pump-gas). Next is to use my magnehelic gauge to find low pressure areas on the hood to mount heat extractor(s)...
  4. Yes, I saw it after I posted this initial thread but thanks for the information!
  5. Has anyone received the "steering fault" light yet? It turned on a couple of times in the past, then re-centered itself and reset. Now it's on all the time. I hope the LMS tune isn't too much for the electric steering...
  6. This is for the Fiesta ST but it's an example of what they can do to the stock small frame turbo...

  7. Nick, you said "Upgrading the turbo's is going to be fun. Since they are mated to the block and the front turbo has ZERO room for a bigger one." You are correct with that statement if you are changing the turbo system to a larger frame turbo. The thing I'm going to do is like what I did to my Fiesta ST, same frame but different wheel, the "hybrid". You take off your factory turbo, send it to one of the big three (DHM, Puma or Cyborg) and let them do the milling/modifying and you bolt it right back on. It's why I bought a couple of "take offs" from a wrecked/damaged engine Edge Sport, so I'll have my "cores" ready when the big three offer the hybrid upgrade. And hopefully some downpipes would have been developed too.. and fuel pump upgrade.. and intercooler.. and 4 Bar MAP... It's a sickness, and I has it...
  8. I made my own like I've done before with all my other turbo'd vehicles; just cut, insert billet can (not plastic, they blow up under boost - don't ask how I know), clamp down and go. This one was $85 on eBay. Never had a CEL come on. Just empty every oil change. I'll post pictures of the install later...
  9. E70 is still 101+ octane, still good but I see your point. Ford has done the port and DI for the latest gen 3.5, I'm sure to help clean up coking valves and cold starting efficiency. But the dual fueling delivery capability for a pro-tuner could tune in an easy 400whp/500tq (up from 375/470 stock). If and when Ford does the port/DI combo for the 2.7 I think we could push some serious boost (why would Ford go CGI in gas as they do diesel if they aren't planning to do same?) to them. I bought a couple of "take off" turbos from a wrecked Sport (NOTE: F150 turbos are different), going to wait to see if Puma (x-47), Cyborg (C39) or DHM (ST280) will come out with a hybrid wheel for us, if/when they do I will send these two to them for upgrading. I still haven't heard back from Russ (DHM) about wanting to take on the project but I know the Fusion Sport guys will be pushing for some upgrades so I just want my "cores" ready. Ford is doing the port/DI combo to their new 1.5T three cylinder and is getting the same power (with an even lighter engine) as they did with the 1.6T four so it's safe to say that they will continue to develop big power out of smaller displacement engines. Hell the current F150 2.7's make the same power my old 2010 F150 5.4 made! Done some "eye balling" measurements with my buds Focus ST intercooler and it looks like a good starting point for development especially since the ST FMIC has the MAP sensor on the intercooler as we do ours. It looks like we'd have to take off the shudder system like we did on his Focus ST. I wasn't ready to take off the bumper for better visuals just yet, got a busy day ahead of me... when I do it I will post pictures, probably start a new FMIC thread with the pictures... http://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/feu/en/news/2017/02/24/next-gen-ford-fiesta-st-debuts-200-ps--3-cylinder--1-5-litre-eco.html
  10. Don't want to do the "lab rat" thing again. If you look on the Fiesta ST forum I was the "lab rat" for the Cyborg turbo system (stock frame with compressor wheel bigger than the one in the Focus ST) with the factory manifold milled and welded for an external wastegate, too many tuning issues with it. The Stratified single injector auxiliary fueling was a tuning issue too because we couldn't get the fuel to balance cylinder to cylinder (manifold is a "dry flow" and adding "wet" caused issues - it's why they came out with the port style later). I'm going to wait on the HPFP upgraded pump solution before any other hard part change take place. DeadHook Motorsports (DHM) has done a similar "cyborg" type turbo but they call it the ST280 (for Fiesta ST). I think if DHM does this upgrade to our turbos it would get us to the 400whp... I emailed Russ (owner of DHM) and asked if I sent him a stock 2.7 turbo would he look at some possibilities of modifying it the same as his ST280 system, haven't heard back yet...
  11. Yeah, we got E85 here too and it's about that same price, good stuff if tuned for it! My bud kept his CP-E intercooler from his Focus ST and his factory intercooler from his 335i and plans on digging them out of storage this weekend to bring it over to size it up on the lift. Hopefully we have a "core" starting point with one of those intercoolers. Ridiculous that Ford uses the same intercooler (size) for both 2.0 and 2.7. We really need to start here, a couple hard runs and the intercooler is done (heat soak), it was the same issue on my Fiesta ST and his Focus ST. It gets too hot here in El Paso over the summer to wait...
  12. Oh yeah, and Cobb only support 4 cylinder engines, I was hoping they'd come over but I'm sure they won't.. so SCT X4 will be the tuning solution for hard parts upgrades...
  13. Yeah, we're going to have to wait until the F150 and Fusion Sport guys get rolling with good support before we get some trickle down tech. And as far as the $1800+ price tag goes it is safer, cheaper and more reliable than to get meth (constant maint, and subject to failure that may cause catastrophic engine failure - leaking nozzles is an example or clogged nozzles causing a lean condition) or getting aux fueling (fuel match from cylinder to cylinder isn't possible without port injection - and you'll be beyond $1800 after a separate tuning solution) but changing the fuel pump, turbos and intercooler then tuning is like the factory system. Having to run E30 fuel is usually to succumb a heat issue and/or safety reasons - pushing turbos out of their efficiency range needing higher octane for detonation (all out racing is different). Changing turbos for more FLOW without having to make fuel mixes is ideal, put in pump 91/93 gas and go. Changing fuel pump for more FLOW without having to stress the system is ideal, put in pump 91/93 gas and go. Changing the intercooler for more FLOW without having heat soak or the need for meth injection is ideal, put in pump 91/93 gas and go. Over all thinking: $2000 for fuel pump upgrade $3000 for upgraded turbos $1500 for upgraded intercooler system (boost hoses, clamps, ect) $500 for tuner $300-500 for dyno/live driving tune (only need one permanent solution but Adam probably still does "tunes for life") $??? for quality fluids Roughly $7500 for a DD, reliable 500awhp on pump 91/93, I'm good with that... (paid $37800 in San Antonio, TX for my Edge Sport, then add $7500 to get to $45300 overall or 500awhp? What SUV can you buy new that has 600 crank hp for under $50k? I've spent about $7000 to get 303whp to the ground out of my Fiesta ST (did SCCA - HS class). The complex fueling (aux fueling - E30 blends), turbo, clutch/flywheel, LSD, intercooler, blah-blah is expensive and a pain to maintain, I've done it before (SVO, HX35 turbo, E85, 400hp)(SRT4, big turbo, E85, 500hp), I'm done with extensive changes, forged this and that, partial block fills, ect. Running the 93 aggressive tune with E30 knowing Ford over-fuels in WOT for safety is just temp until Adam gets this pump all sorted out and testing is completed on the Fusion Sport (he has an F150 2.7 and plans on 500whp too - it's why I'm confident) and people are consistently happy before I pull the trigger this time...
  14. http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68570 Big things are coming for this 2.7
  15. The block deck, cylinder sleeves and the bolt mounts for the crank and caps are CGI, the lower "ladder" as Ford calls it is aluminum. Yes, those little turbos will be blowing hot air after 20+ or so psi but someone will be making some upgrades for it soon (hopefully like the 2554r or GT28s). What we need is an intercooler solution, Ford has seemed to make the minimum required for sustained driving but nothing for sustained "spirited" driving or for very hot climates (think: heat soak). Adam from Tune+ (adamtuned.myshopify.com) has the ecoboost platform down to crazy power levels, especially his E30 tunes. He uses the SCT X4 device for the 2.7. If you are in the Dallas, TX area look him up, he will be opening a new shop 1 April and will do a live tune for you... Running the 93 aggressive tune on E30 is fine, the A/F in Ford's WOT table is too rich (for safety) anyways... it's why most tuners get better gas mileage after a tune
