AntDeek Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I really like this engine and want to learn more about it. Does anyone have detailed information about this motor and its features? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 One of the references that is very good to start with http://www.supersixmotorsports.com/_pdf/2016/cyclone-tech-v2.pdf Wards has an article on the 2011 update to Ti-VCT also. You can look at articles on the Mustang 3.7 to gain additional insight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntDeek Posted January 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Okay so I need some help. I have two vehicles at home with the Duratec 35. One is my 13 Edge, the other is my Dads 17 Explorer. I am trying to see the timing benefit of 93 octane in my Edge vs 87 octane in his Explorer. Using FORSCAN to look at timing, how come I am seeing negative intake timing values in degrees? Shouldnt it be a positive number? Like negative 30,degrees timing. Shouldnt it be a positive number? Exhaust timing shows a positive number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Young Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Read this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Duratec_engine, it will tell you the history. Someone did a dyno test on the 3.7L Mustang, comparing 87 octane with 93 octane gas. 93 octane produced 7 more horsepower to the wheels than 87 octane. Sensors will 'automatically' adjust the timing when you use a higher or lower octane gas. I 'think' for many years Ford's owner manuals have stated to use premium gas for better performance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
