    Ford Performance Tune

    It actually did age well. Based on the information Ford provided on THEIR tune it does nothing. The graph shows a "Baseline 87 Octane" vs "FPP Tune 93 Octane"......terrible comparison for a test. Of course it will make more power on 93, it is inherent to the fuel used. Now, the 2nd grade...

    Ford Performance Tune

    Based on the information that was provided you are better off just filling your tank with 93 octane and saving the $700.

    Ford Performance Tune

    I can tell you right now that "graph" was created by someone plotting numbers in Excel and was not from a real dyno. 400hp rating is crank HP on a dyno test stand.

    Ford Performance Tune

    I think the most underappreciated part of my ZFG tune is how smooth the transmission is, especially compared to stock. Ford did an awful job programming the transmission, and I find it hard to believe they smoothed anything out in this new "tune". +30HP for $700, no thanks. Also, did anyone...

    2wd St Testing.

    what is your tire pressure? Stock A/S tires are definitely not helping you out either.

    Bicycle rack (rear mount)

    The brake assist is ridiculously strong on this car, I hate it. I have a Thule 2 bike hitch mount and I just park far away from anything like I normally do. Old pic before all the mods.

    "Ben Wiren" YT Channel Takes Explorer ST-Line to Salt Flats For Top Speed Run

    That thing his horribly slow, even if he does have a rooftop cargo piece. Also, the instrument cluster is ugly AF compared to the ST.

    Exhaust rattles, creaks, pings as it heats up. Suspecting bad cat.

    what hose is the dealer messing with for an oil change? I swapped out my OEM drain plug for the UPR, makes oil changes a breeze.

    Exhaust rattles, creaks, pings as it heats up. Suspecting bad cat.

    I'd say 99% chance the dealer is going to blame the Thermal, just so they don't have to pursue warranty work with Ford. It could be a chunk of the cells in one of the cats has broken and is bouncing around. There are two sets of cells per cat, so if it was the upper then the lower cells are...

    Considering my 1st Tune

    the answer is simple, if you are concerned about your warranty then do not tune it. End of story.

    Please help me.

    For the brake noise, that is strange as the brake system does not actively circulate the fluid, it is dead-ended. Are you sure it is not the power steering pump or even fuel in the fuel tank sloshing around? Ford neglected to adequately baffle the fuel tank, so you will hear it moving around...

    Ford Performance Tune

    This horse has been beaten way past death already. The Explorer ST will NOT get a Ford Performance tune, especially after the rear subframe fiasco. The ST IS the Ford Performance tune. Don't bring the "yeah, but now the Limited and KR have 400hp"....so what, nothing to do with the ST.

    Please help me.

    CV Fab Intercooler upgrade!

    You are going to be splitting hairs comparing the two. CV has the price point locked down over Whipple, but Whipple has already proven fit/form/finish for ~2yrs on this platform. Any differences in dyno or 1/4mi between the two could easily be due to environment, driver, dyno ± accuracy, or...

    P3 Gauge Didn’t Cut Anything

    Pics above prove this! LIghten up JV, looks like this thread was created just to start an argument.

    What to look for when tuning my new Explorer St.? Im in San Antonio here...

    no need to take it anywhere. ZFG Racing is arguably the best and it's done remote via HP Tuners device. If you are worried about a warranty then don't tune it, end of story.

    Has anyone seen any ST's with BC Forged EH176?

    Ahhhh, thank you for the correction!

    Has anyone seen any ST's with BC Forged EH176?

    Check out Tyler Clark's setup on the FB pages. His are Vossen HF-2, very similar. Looks insanely sick!!!!
