    Hard launch transmission disengages

    Agree on datalog. Are you saying this is the "canned" 93 tune, but you have all the other upgrades? Are you seeing any CELs? Have you checked for any codes being thrown?

    CRP Stage 5 Turbos and Nostrum Stage 1 install?

    Check this out: https://www.explorerst.org/threads/pure700-turbo-install.1616/post-20322 At that time, Kevin did NOT have any fuel mods done. IMHO those Pure 700 turbos will not max out the fuel system on 93 unless you have some other significant modifications. Here is the dyno to match...

    CRP Stage 5 Turbos and Nostrum Stage 1 install?

    Why would you buy the fuel system if you're going to use 93? I'm asking because you will not need it even with the larger turbos if you're not using higher percentage ethanol mixes.

    Question for E50-E70 guys

    Just to be clear, I cannot validate what the poster wrote in that post, but the SAE standard is valid. That being said, if you're going to run e85 for extended periods of time, there "could" be unanticipated problems. But I'm pretty sure e50 is fine.

    Question for E50-E70 guys

    There are a couple of different ethanol threads on here: Look at this thread, but look at this post: https://www.explorerst.org/threads/e85-question.1352/post-15692

    Explorer ST vs. GMC Typhoon (the "original" performance SUV)

    I bought a Typhoon new in '93. It was actually a pretty nice vehicle for what it was. But it can't in anyway be compared to the ST in terms of refinement, etc. Although it did have a stiff suspension and sway bars, over even slightly uneven ground the solid axles made the vehicle ride like a...

    Sunoco 100 Octane Race Fuel

    Increasing the rev limit is really only useful if you're going with big turbos. And by big, I mean larger than the Pure 700s illustrated above which (barring something I'm unaware of) appear to fall off precipitously after 6300 rpm. The ethanol blends will always make more HP due to the higher...

    Sunoco 100 Octane Race Fuel

    ZFG can definitely tune for it. Here's an old dyno run from Kruppa on 104 octane with the Pure 700 turbos. As to whether that's better than say e70- to get the same amount of HP you'd probably have to upgrade the injectors and pump.

    AS1 Valvetronic Exhaust Build

    You're right, a 3" pipe is plenty. The name of the game in exhaust design (for performance, not acoustics) is to keep the velocity high so as to retain as much inertial energy as possible with as little surface area as possible. A smaller surface area equates to more heat retention which...

    Bad MPG

    Let's just assume for a second something is off- because no one is getting that bad of mileage. The only way his vehicle would be getting that kind of MPG would be either: A. His MPG calculator was off by about double.. B. His entire two tanks has been spent at the dragstrip. C. There is a...

    Considering my 1st Tune

    While I understand your sentiment, I don't agree. Not all Ford dealers are crooks. As far as the single bolt diff, there is no way anyone is going to convince me this was done by malice or negligence. If you think they purposely did this so they could deal with possible multi-million dollar...

    Considering my 1st Tune

    That is a possibility, but I would not recommend that anyone plays with one of these "piggybacks" in this day and age. Also, I think some people on here (I am not singling anyone out) need to think just a bit about ethics. It sounds like you want the ability to play, but then have Ford pay if...

    Considering my 1st Tune

    If you're the type who is even slightly concerned about something voiding your warranty- then don't do it. People can talk all they want about the Magnuson-Moss warranty act, but if your claim is denied, do you really have the money and time to A. Let your vehicle sit somewhere unuseable for...
