    Turbo "fin" removal?

    Its a "thing". I've done it on 2 Ecoboosts and have never gotten a CEL from it or anything resembling an issue.

    650 awhp and 650 ft-lbs!

    @ZFGracing what's causing the nose-dive in torque? Is that due to reaching the choke point on the stage 5 compressor wheels? Or maybe the potential improvements to be made on the exhaust manifold side of the head that you hinted at in an earlier post :unsure: Either way, thanks for continuing...

    The Explorer ST Engine Build Begins!

    @ZFGracing you posted the below picture back in October 2021. Has a go-to vender been identified for head porting since then? Also, I've been rocking a E50 and 93P ZFG tune (depending on where I'm driving) since month 1 of ownership. Thanks for everything you do for this platform!

    How to check transmission level without getting burned on exhaust!?

    Remove the bolt/dipstick when it's cold and check it when it's hot. Use any of the above methods if you need additional protection for the short period of time you are messing with the dipstick to check the level when hot.

    Audio System Overhaul

    Disregard my original post. The "Plug-n-Play" harness I received didn't plug or play, and after repining the factory harness the source they want you to use for signal definitely still had roll-off that the KEYLOC couldn't fix.

    Audio System Overhaul

    @BrooseDaMoose Since you took the conversation down the Kicker/Crutchfield road... Kicker 47KEY500.1 Compact mono subwoofer amplifier with automatic tuning DSP — 500 watts RMS at 1 ohm at Crutchfield For a simple sub only install I was recently reading about using Kickers 47KEYLOC, and...

    Ford Performance Tune and 87 Octane Fuel

    I've been tuning my own cars/trucks/motorcycles and the occasional friend's vehicle (bourbon is currency) since 2004. The method Ford uses for keeping your engine in one piece while balancing performance is pretty bad ass! I'll keep it simple: Based on the average of how often your knock...

    Display Gear Number in D mode?

    Have your tuner go to the "General" tab under Transmision. Open the "Gear Display Active" table and make it look like the attached picture. Then find a new tuner.

    Fix to Bass Volume Decrease?

    @TheCryptoTrain, and anyone else looking to get the most out of their audio system... Attached is a screenshot of the factory Ford tables that dictate the alternators output. As you can see the target voltage drop WAY BELOW the ideal range for maximizing an amplifiers output. Once the assumed...

    87 and E85?

    My apologies, I didn't see the DIY Ethanol Sensor listed in mycbtech's mods. If your concerns are a reduction in overall octane, then please see below: Check out the attached file to see calculated octane values for Ethanol blends with premium. The chart shows a true 50% E mixture with 91...

    87 and E85?

    It is possible to get to 50% Ethanol while blending "E85" and 87 octane fuel. Your question leads me to believe that you aren't actually measuring the "E85" coming out of the pump...If you aren't you should be. I've seen Ethanol content for "E85" anywhere between 52-89% depending on season and...

    PCM Update - Does This Affect My ZFG Tune?

    Read the ECU before and after the dealership flashes the ecu. Load them both into the VCM Editor software and use the "View Comparison Log" option and you can see everything they made changes to. If you are worried that Ford might actually be making updates that you want to incorporate into...
