    Misfire Saga

    I went with turbos from turbo revolutions for my 2.7l and the quality was subpar. Hong also wasn't my favorite person to deal with. They did work though. I've heard better experiences with pure and other companies. Who did you go with?

    Misfire Saga

    Now that I've done it twice. It could be done. Only like 5 tools needed. Even still, wouldn't be a fun time. The issue would be not having the replacements on hand. Luckily I live near Nostrum.

    Misfire Saga

    Ya I hear ya. It's excellent power but having used XDI and Nostrum's injectors both failing sub 1 year is a red flag for anyone who is trying to achieve near OEM reliability. Granted, I was very suspecting of the injectors day 1 last week and could have saved a lot of time and swapped them...

    New injectors are in and it works! A couple photos mid install.

    Misfire Saga

    Moved injector from 6 to 1. Misfire followed to 1. Installing new set of injectors this morning. Hopefully that will end this saga. I'll post more in depth once I can breath again. Have fun pics of the engine all taken apart as well. Stay tuned. Thanks for all who contributed.

    Misfire Saga

    I also had a set of XDI injectors. Had 2 fail in under a year. Hope you have better luck. They laughed at me and blamed installation. They forgot they installed them. Then wouldn't warranty them even though it wasn't even a year from purchase. Excuse after excuse.

    Misfire Saga

    With that being said, since the scan tool showed an issue on injector 6, maybe it would be worth it to swap coil/plug from that cylinder? I also forgot to mention I did a compression test on #4, passed. Also did a computer compression test with the snap-on tool, also passed. Sorry it's been a...

    Thank you for the reminder, step 1 was in fact move coil and plug from 1-4 and misfire stayed at 4.

    Misfire Saga

    Hi all, just wanted to share my story (ongoing). I am tuned for e85 and a few days ago started misfiring. It was idling rough, and CEL came on so put the laptop on it and got 4,6 misfire. Sometimes only 6, sometimes 4,5,6. Tried to top off e85 at another gas station (only had 1/4 tank was...

    Hard launch transmission disengages

    This same thing happens a couple times a month to me as well on ZFG's tune. I always immediately paddle up and take foot off gas. Definitely something slipping in transmission. Especially coming out of a hairpin turn if I floor it at 5-10mph it will almost always slip and bounce the rev...

    10r80 swap

    I think 0-60/70 I'd be right next to a Hellcat. After that it will pull away from me for sure. Basic aerodynamics at play. Assuming they can launch properly. Most guys I race spin like it's their first race. It's nice to be able to stomp the gas and go no matter what.

    10r80 swap

    I've only ever used my ST in sport mode, I drive with a lead foot. Nothing broken yet, just the dreams of every 392 I crush.

    Port injection

    I live like 20min from LMS and I'd never go back there. With Nostrum's stage 2 kit coming out soon this mod seems expensive and unnecessary. Stage 1 maxes out in the low 500 whp range (turbo limited), and the actual injectors/pump max around 650whp. Stage 2 is going to be at least another...

    Limits of stock turbos HP wise

    I'm tuned for e70 but Adam has assured me there's no power difference between e50 and e85. When I fill up I'm almost always at e80 to e85. Just got tuned at e70 in case in the winter the e is low.

    2022 Ford Explorer Platinum ST

    I've raced 2 TRX's while I was fully loaded with tools both times and won by more than a car each time.

    Limits of stock turbos HP wise

    I didn't read any of this but I know for a fact the stock limitation on turbos is around 500whp. I dyno'ed at 520 and they said it was purely due to no more turbo. Hope that helps.
