Built Engine Update: Addressing Main Cap Instability in the Nano EcoBoost Following the impressive dyno results of the first-ever "built" Nano EcoBoost, producing 709 AWHP and 675 ft-lbs of torque, the engine encountered unexpected issues. After making changes to bolt-on components to extract...

Let's Discuss Intakes! Over the years, we've seen significant advancements in intake systems, all of which we have tested. These include Theo’s custom-built intake (the first Explorer to feature one), Darren’s custom VooDoo intake, FenFab v1, AFE, S&B, K&N and more! Thanks to HP Tuners, we've...

Time to share some initial results from the FENFAB oil pan! Actually logging oil pressure and getting the correct data is very important and I’m going to let the data tell the story on this one! This has been a long time coming as oil pump cavitation/starvation has been a long-standing issue...

ZFG Racing LLC and Nostrum High Performance are at it again! 709 AWHP and 675 Ft-lb uncorrected on stock frame CR Performance stage 5 turbos on e60! We all saw Kathy and Matt’s connecting rods become external earlier this year and well that sucks you can’t push a platform without finding the...

The world's first 800+ awhp ST! This project has been challenging, to say the least, but after getting the transmission built, Steven Adams finally put the single turbo ST on the dyno! We hit the goal of having a 700+ awhp single turbo fully integrated into the factory calibration, including...

Here is a comparison of 2 very different turbo setups. The CRP stage 5 stock location turbos vs Twin Xona 5451s turbos. The Twin Xona turbos are no doubt way more capable, even more cable than what's shown here. However, big twin and big single turbo kits fundamentally change the power delivery...

Well here you have it! The first sets of production connecting rods have made it to ZFGR. I'm not going to lie to you guys, these have been a thorn in my side for years! We started the "built engine" project in 2021, and fit the first 3d printed prototype connecting rod in September of 2021...

I'm seeing a trend in data logs so I want to revisit the launch strategy (not the trans brake) . All new tunes have the launch strategy update. To use it do the following -pump the brakes -push brake pedal all the to the floor -go directly to 100% pedal position It's important that you don't...

Time for a new pinned post so we can get rid of some others! Here is a list of common mistakes and issues found on this platform! Oil pressure drop. If your engine is low on oil, you will experience an oil pressure drop on a hard launch. The lower the oil the worse the drop is the longer it...
