    Ford Performance Tune

    Its been posted plenty of times that this tune will void the ESP. It also shortens the drivetrain warranty from 5/60 to 3/36 from the first day it was services or bought new, whichever came first Mr Fire Guy though will block you for posting this haha

    I'm Impressed!

    Not how turbo's work.... As @Suprawill1 stated, they only produce boost if needed when you go WOT or close to it. The turbo may or may not spin on idle but will not produce any "boost" or run off high RPM on idle. A turbo timer was used to move the hot oil from the turbo so they wont get cooked...

    I'm Impressed!

    Ecoboost engines use passive convection cooling, once the water pump is off, the coolant reverses bringing fresh cool coolant and pushing the hot turbo coolant out. Most auto makers use a similar passive system as well on turbo car's with non electric water pumps

    Best tune for 2020+ Ford Explorer ST

    Was gonna say this LOL it actually lost warranty by getting the FP tune haha The Durango also has a 5/60 powertrain warranty, not 3/36. Dude is just full of himself.

    It was only recommended if you were running an oil cooled turbo only on the 2JZ, for stock or similar CT12 set ups, it was not needed unless you were tracking the car. On most/all? newer cars, the coolant keeps circulating on the turbo's after shut off. Even then, driving normal down the street...

    I really hate it when…

    And at 71+k miles. Good to see it still running really strong.

    If it was the early 90's, then yes, you would need a turbo timer or let it idle for a couple of min's. Turbo car's nowadays are liquid cooled, no need to do any of that stuff anymore.

    Best tune for 2020+ Ford Explorer ST

    Every single time you modified the ECU, the key cycle goes back to 0, so yes, theyll see something is off. If they dig deep as well, they'll see the parameters were different. I mean in all honestly, why go thru all that just to have 3 years or less of warranty? The powertrain warranty will end...

    Best tune for 2020+ Ford Explorer ST

    Its always been like that.... See the magnuson act. Any mods you make that leads to a failure will not be covered under warranty for that specific area. It will not void your whole warranty, only whatever was affected from the mod

    Best tune for 2020+ Ford Explorer ST

    I take it OP has been living under a rock? This has been a thing for the past 30? Years lol Tuning a car would void warranty if it was responsible for the damage..... Also, after your original warranty is up with the FP, guess what, it will be no different than any other tuned car. If you buy...

    ZFG Racing DMS Custom Tunes!!!

    Unfortunately, the tuning is his side gig and usually absent around holiday's (labor day is around the corner). Not speaking for him, just speaking for people having similar stories during holiday's with him. Regarding 5 star, the transmission tune with them would make you have buyer's remorse...

    Ford Performance Tune

    The only big issue with the ST's is the transmission, even in stock form. Having a tune making ton more power with a better transmission tune and shifts is better for the drivetrain vs slight power or stock with no transmission updates. Not saying it will be an issue with the FR tune but havent...

    Ford Performance Tune

    My point is there are much better tunes for similar $$ that add more than power and improve the jerky tranny shifts As I stated, its a plus for those retaining the original 36 month warranty, but for those wanting a faster vehicle outside of that warranty, IMO, its best spent elsewhere on a...

    Ford Performance Tune

    So spending $800+ on a tune to run 1-2 MPH faster in the quarter mile is a win? lol I mean its a plus for those wanting to retain the original warranty but not for those nearing or past it.
