    "Space GhoST"- single turbo ST build

    I’ll definitely be one that’s reading it, should be good stuff. I know what I’m putting together to get my 3.5 eco to 700whp (currently just around 530whp) and that’s with chosen turbos that I’m purposely going to smaller A/R turbine housings to spool earlier than they originally would. There...

    It would be nice for someone to log with an SCT device or a HPT device with the FP tune loaded up and running 87. You would know pretty quick. I totally get that not many have multiple tuners. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    "Space GhoST"- single turbo ST build

    Cool approach from both a thread standpoint and a build concept. I look forward to following along and learning a few things. There is no reason why a single can’t work if sized and plumbed correctly for the goal you’re looking to achieve. So, what’s the goal? Are you looking for a certain...

    Stubborn water spots are gone...

    Polish them up and put some PPF on them. Most shops that apply PPF, can cut pieces out for you and even apply if you don't feel comfortable doing it.

    Ford Performance Tune

    No need for me, still rocking a fully built 12th Gen F150 for a couple more years. Gen3 Raptor or a 5.0 Tremor that I’ll Whipple and Raptor swap will be next. I just like seeing what’s going on with the new ones and the more options the better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sweet, I heard they were going to announce something on Wednesday. I figured the flood gates would open for options.

    Yeah, totally agree, cost will increase substantially is my guess as well. Totally taking this thread for a ride, but from what I've seen on the F150 side, LMS and SCT methods require you to plug right into the PCM, but not send it in. I haven't seen anything official from HPT, but have heard...

    Ford Performance Tune

    I don't think the locked PCM will be the end of things. There are tunes available for the latest Gen F150's with the new encryption. Looks like it's not just plugging into the OBD port anymore though. I'm assuming "Piggy-back" style tuners like the JB4 will become more popular as folks find out...

    Ford Performance Tune

    I would agree that “yes” the FP tune is allowing it to get that high, but there is a caveat to that. It’s totally dependent on a bunch of factors. Usually the peak boost is observed right before a shift. So it’s not “really” seeing that max boost, but for a very brief time. Usually, but I don’t...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Only calling it out in case someone wants to do some checking or be snarky. FYI, here are what my Gen 1 3.5 (DI only) valves looked like after 50k miles without a catch can. This is the worst cylinder (#1). I put a dual catch can on when I put in the built motor and will do the same check and...

    Just to note, dual fuel on the 3.5’s started in 2017, previous was just DI. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I was bored, so I went to this site to play with the numbers you posted. https://www.ajdesigner.com/fl_horsepower_elapsed_time/horsepower_elapsed_time.php Assumptions of 5000lbs curb weight with Driver and DA is not definable ET 13.44 = 407.1hp ET 12.90 = 460.4hp So seems like FP is...

    Who’s spending $1000? I see a lot of folks spending $700+ on downpipes for 2 tenths, to each their own. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Misfire Saga

    I have a Built Gen1 3.5 and working with Geoff at Full Race on doing the Gen2 Garrett Stage 2's with his Full Bore manifolds that are soon to be released. I already have Gen2 turbos from a 2019 Raptor on it, but obviously they only flow so much and I'm a little neutered at elevation. Currently...

    FYI, the XDI injectors are Bosch from a GM. But for only 15% more flow on this platform I don't see why you would do them.
