Those v6s sound so good.. I've seen every ranger exhaust vid you can think of and none of them sound great tbh. My mazda has an unequal length turbo manifold and sounds pretty ridiculous. Would be interesting to see what guys do when they really start slapping bigger turbos on these. I have...

On the way to getting this done but I'll be shooting it for the first time this upcoming weekend. The cats favorite toy are the foam cubes so I think she's feigning an interest, lol.

15-0003, the same one you referenced. And I agree it does seem suspect. I think if it was a huge deal, Ford would have fixed it already or we'd be seeing more catastrophic failures. I'll say this as a prospective Ranger owner, the issue doesn't really concern me. My 2.3 MZR in the mazda has oil...

Yeah, got it from Harry down at Racers Edge along with two bottles of NOS. Lol, it's an ongoing joke in the forum world. In all reality, I'll use the ford blend stuff until I do more research. I'll just need something that will hold up in a tuned engine and will be adequate for 200k miles or...

This is what I plan on using. Good for motorcycles, hatchbacks, lambos, and even trucks.

I'm not convinced these engines are that sensitive to viscosity changes especially with the fuel dilution issue and the inherent propensity for TGDI engines to shear oil. Mustang guys are running up to 5w50 and the RS specs 5w50. I think it's too early in the game for me to form my layman's...

Anyone consider using a thicker oil to combat the viscosity loss? It would require a bit of research to determine which of these meets the new API/ILSAC specs and also the ford specs. With what I've read on the f150 TSB, some of those owners are getting their PCV valves replaced, ECMs updated...

With that, that makes a lot more sense as to why no one is up in arms about it. I guess one could summarize that the ecu adapts fine to the mod but would be more taken advantage of with an update to the tune. If that is wrong, someone please interject! Otherwise carry on! The SPD part looks...

Quote from the dead, but surely someone at this point has verified this with a gauge sans tune? You'd think with a free flowing DP, there may be some boost creep/spike on initial spool, especially at lower rpms where TGDI engines like to break rods or if LSPI can be an issue with these engines...

That may be left for debate! Nator was cool. I've still got the gen 1 and an e36 m3, ditching both this winter. Have a Merry Christmas/happy holiday! Josh

Obijack, do I recognize that username from the mazdaspeedforums?! And this Mazda is based on the izusu dmax.
