My Pioneer head unit has the ability to display real time OBD engine measurements . A few observations for those wanting to know what these engines run at ....
My truck here in Florida runs 199-204 F usually - good cooling system.
My Coolant Temp and Trans Temp are usually exactly the same.
Boost is pretty interesting on this motor . Going down the road cruising without your foot in it I am running - 1 to - 3 "Vacuum" . Put your foot down and you start getting positive boost quickly . How does Ford do that ? Is the wastegate opened on purpose to maximize fuel economy cruising- bleeding off boost or is the Turbo simply not spun up enough to create positive boost under say ~ 1800 rpm ?
Exhaust temps are usually in the 500's 600's .
The highest boost I have seen is 15-16 ish.....I only run 89 octane ....not sure if that changes with better gas.
