Doing 3rd gear rolling burnouts, banging it off the rev limiter, tuning 100% e85 stock block big turbo cars to 500whp, watching stock block cars go 10's, watching my customers rack up 40,000+ miles since they were tuned, putting a bigger turbo on my stock block Mustang, designing products for industry leaders to make even more power, and watching the THOUSANDS of people enjoying their car everyday without a single worry in the world.
At the end of the day, everyone needs to remember they bought an economy car and not a cheaper alternative to a GT. There are components that should be upgraded if your intended purpose of the vehicle is to beat the snot out of it. I know I wasn't surprised one bit when I put a rotated GTX3076R on my stock block STI and it blew the hell up when I made 450whp on e85.
Brules Rule's on keeping your Ecoboost Mustang happy.
1. Maintain it, change the oil, change the plugs, keep up on maintenance.
2. Don't try to fix anything that isn't broken. If your car isn't smoking and there isn't any oil in your cold side charge pipe (throttle body) don't freak out your car is fine. If you do have a little bit of oil, purchase a UPR catch can (I prefer you did from my site ;) haha), and replace the check valve between the intake manifold and the catch can with a 1/2" Boomba Check valve, and gut the PCV. Your Boomba check valve is your new PCV.
3. LSPI is a problem if you make it a problem. Don't floor your car in 6th gear at 1000rpms like a dolt. Don't take off in 2nd gear from a light and floor it. Don't try to brake boost your stock turbo car, trust me it isn't spooling any faster because you are doing it. If you are still afraid of LSPI, then save your money and buy a big turbo kit. They will never spool below 3,000rpms and grenade your motor. Also, I'm not sure of other tuners but I put preventative measures in place to prevent any customers from doing any of the shenanigans mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph. Try to floor your car in 6th gear (MT) under 3,000rpms, let me know how much boost you get. NONE! I SHUT YOUR THROTTLE BODY YOU FRUIT LOOP!
4. Ignore all post about blown motors that a.) Don't know the cause b.) tried a tuner that only does Corvette tuning c.) Has a JMS Boostmax on their car d.) Is running E40, Nitrous, Methanol, and Big boost and complains that their motor failed because of a crappy OEM head gasket. No, it wasn't the head gasket that I have made 600+whp on, it was your train of thought thinking someone that has no experience tuning an Ecoboost vehicle will be able to get Ethanol, Nitrous, and Methanol to play nicely.
5. Treat your car like you would like to be treated. If someone stuck their foot in your O-ring and forced you to run non-stop without letting you pause to cool down, while holding a hairdryer in front of your mouth. You probably wouldn't last too long either would you? If you are going to beat every last ounce of power out of your car on the street, or you plan on drag racing or circuit racing a lot, make sure your damn car is setup to handle what you are putting at it. I have no mercy for you if your engine shoots out of your engine bay and kicks you in your baby maker because you didn't think an intercooler does anything.
6. Don't live in California.
Thanks! :headbonk:
