Yeah, I want something that looks like it could have been a factory option, and not something that looks Fast & Furious.

Good questions. The stoich AFR in the tune is set at around 14.05 which is to be assumptive of E10-15 fuels. You can still run E0 fuels in it too, but the E0 Stoic is closer to 14.7 AFR. Regardless of which fuel you put it, the truck has a Wideband O2 sensor so it can maintain perfect AFR target...

Yeah, Yeah, matching orange door panels would be a nice addition. I think the Shift and Brake boots would look good with the black leather, but with Orange accent stitches.

I am curious if anyone in here had taken the door panels off and reupholstered their door cards with some Alcantara. I have an XLT that just has some basic black fabric on the door card above the arm rest and I think it would look a lot better if I re-wrapped it in Blue Alcantara. something...

I am agreeing with you on this. After studying the tune for a while it’s very obvious this thing isn’t tuned for just 87.

I know all too well about heat on the dyno. I tune on an outside dyno in Arizona, the awning only shades it part of the day so we often have ambient air temps in the 130's from the asphalt around us. The 100* had to have made it a little harder to hit higher HP numbers, because there had to be...

Yes, Cobalts and many other types of cars too.

Did you happen to get stock numbers on the dyno before the tune was applied?

And that wouldn’t be the case if the truck was really tuned for only 87.

You are correct that there are mechanical limitations in hitting the prescribed torque output at 700rpm. Ford typically makes the torque demand flat leading up to the peak torque to give it a smoother turbo spool. On the Focus RS they put stupid high numbers that low to get even faster spool...

Take me for a ride!

Which fender flares are those?

I can tell you that the stock tune is programmed for much more power than the advertised output if you use high octane fuel and allow the ECU to adjust over some driving (or by pulling the battery, etc).

i think a lot of people will see it as underwhelming. I think that they actually used Before and After results on the 93 Octane. If that’s true, the OAR value would be set to the more optimal setting than what the truck is rated at on paper. the recommended 87 octane fuel will cause a negative...

i keep a barrel of Methanol in my garage. When I get it refilled it’s usually under $2 a gallon.

Contents will depend on which one you use. Most of them don’t even contain methanol, so you don’t want to just use any old washer fluid if you go that route. As for any other added detergents (if any really), those just help give your intake valves that streak-free shine.

I am looking into using a Throttle Body Spacer plate to mount the nozzle for spraying directly after the Throttle Body. I am also going to need to find a pressure switch so that I can have the system automatically spray at a certain or adjustable manifold pressure. I’ll have to check to see if...

The Phil, The Ranger has no Mass Airflow sensor, it calculates the airmass based on Manifold Pressure, Temp & RPM. No frequency based data from a MAF to deal with.

POST #2 One thing to understand about Torque-based ECU strategies, like what we have in the Ecoboost engine (as well as many others like the newer GM EcoTec, Subaru FA20DIT, and so many more) is that they commonly employ Driver Demanded Torque values to determine boost command (IF they are...

Post #1: +THIS INFORMATION IS INTENDED FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, YOU MODIFY YOUR OWN VEHICLE AT YOUR OWN RISK USING YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT+ In stock form the Ranger has a higher Driver Demanded Torque value than the 2.3L Mustang Ecoboost, which I found interesting since on paper the Ranger is...
