Great thing is, it doesn't matter what people say about it because I am doing what works for me. It seems a lot like people are attacking the idea because it is not what they did. This is the main reason stay away from forums. It is bc you get these FUDers that have it all worked out, and know...
Night day from Stock. Absolutely worth the Dollar per HP. Use sport mode. It's not a race track Trans tune but it is fine. It is sufficient for the trade off. The software is not the best but enough. There are Things you just don't get with ECU tunes without buying more and more Tunes. You can...
True True. My local E85 pump spec'd out at E72. E85 will spec from 51%-83% ETh. Higher in the summer months. A standard E85 calculator will keep you under. E tunes have some ranging. But, no no for those FlexFuel 94 pumps. The Injectors and pumps are not rated to over 30% Ethanol. Though I've...
JB4. More power more options. Does not leave Tune history like ECU tunes. Only thing you miss out on is the Transmission tune. Doesn't matte that much, especially if you have sport mode. FPT and Rousch are $900 plus you need a installer. another $200-500 for that . JB4 gets you in the 300'sWHP...
This all begs the question for the mid 21 plus, to not just run the can in the back. You don't have to have 6 foot of aftermarket hose. you could almost direct fit it.
I have a obd ii BT with some software to monitor the air. I only ever get one of the reading and I am almost certain it is before Turbo. Just ran a test with the Intake Sealed off and with it open, both cold start at idle, and warm start at idle, and at speed.
With intake Lid Sealed
Ambient...
100%. in snow/ice conditions I would almost take a FWD car with blizzaks over a AT 4x4 set up. Assuming it is not feet of snow. Tire are king on icy roads.
Temp Sensor. I thought that would be further back. Good to know.
That is the Rabbit hole we go down and is the grey area companies use to shill their gear. They don't always overtly lie to people, they use omissions to get you to think that something they sell will help you. Do I need a $450...
You did it the hard way but it worked out great. 2wd, even with a locker, can be a challenge in snow without weight in the back. Lockers are 100% better then not. 4x4 is 200% then lockers in the snow. 400% better with 4x4 and lockers. I come from AZ and CO. In the desert you don't need a 4x4 as...
Late But. I saw a British guy who works on Focus RS's and swears by water meth. Maybe you can get some insights.
I think he runs them on rails. You would have to tap the Intake manifold and run four port injectors if what Livernois said is accurate. Otherwise pump E30. It is much more simple...
I was looking at Water/meth for the ranger until I saw the Livernois Response. I am on E30 now and I can confirm it is much cooler. I use a JB4 as the tune. Just ran 2 hours with ambient air at 34 degrees. IAT is 66. works and adds serious TQ/HP. Your MPG is going to drop though. Still. 4.8 Gal...
Hmm. the oil is the problem. It is likely damaged filter or the more is better approach with the oil application. That is the worst thing you could do. I ran a K&N for 200k miles on my old Ranger. Fine. I didn't cleaning it for 30K miles once. I lived in the desert too. Fine. New cars I would be...
I did a lot of research before I made a decision bc I knew the factory box is really not as restrictive as some may think. Loweredon33s had a bunch of different types and came to the conclusion that flow over engine heat is the way to go. So his intake is 1/2 the engine bay and open. His point...
The Mishimoto is a perfect example of putting overengineering on Meth. Yeah it is better, but barely made an impact with a 93 tune. Get one, have fun, and enjoy. But the price tag is ugly. For that extra $500 (93 tuned) you could run water/meth injection and guarantee colder IAT's and more HP...
LOL, I bought that same AFE to match the Tremor hot side battery cover and accents. They all terminate at the same intel point on the Air box though. Who knows. I know it looks cool so I shilled the cash for it.
There a bunch of aftermarket Dry's these days. The AEM ones have the best data for filtration that I could find. However, many claim 98%+ particle filtration these days.
Cheers bro, I just got a 22 XLT Tremor and I couldn't be happier. There is some much you can do with that Truck. The Maverick Turbo AWD, I think has some potential as the 21 century Cyclone Killer from 93. But they just can't compare to the Ranger Mod stack and capability atm.
