Here's screenshot of the Track Addict app at Road America. As you can see, the stock motor, with only a larger intercooler, is capable of producing 22 psi boost at almost 5800 RPM (Note: The manifold pressure is shown as absolute, so you must subtract 14.7 from the 36.92 to get boost pressure)...

Are you still running the stock intercooler? If so, that must be changed out for a larger one. I run an all stock motor with a bigger IC, and my boost holds at 20-22 psi up to almost 6K.

This is very interesting. I assumed the boost control from the ECU was much more sophisticated than the old days, but really didn't know exactly how much more. The only other turbo car I have had experience with is my son's '86 944 Turbo (951). The 951 is such a simple, old school turbo set...

No. I think I need to upgrade to the pay version. The best I can do is share screenshots. This was from last Friday at Road America. The 2:41.9 was my best lap time of the day. I think there is probably a little more room for improvement, but 2:41 for a stock motor Ecostang at Road America...

Yes, I reached out to COBB support. They confirmed that their Accesstuner would allow modifications to the temp related failsafes. Unfortunately, they have temporarily pulled the Accesstuner product while they are sorting out the EPA crap.

On the Ecoboost, it's more like 5-10 deg.

Not sure, but I doubt the little Mishi oil cooler is having much effect on the oil temp. When I first installed just the oil cooler, the actual and inferred temps were pretty close to the same. It wasn't until after I installed the hood vent that the actual/inferred temps spread to about 40...

I use the Track Addict app for HPDE. When reviewing the detailed data log, I'm seeing that Track Addict is only showing the throttle opened at 90% when the pedal was firmly to the floor (nothing wedged between it and the floor). I realize this could be an anomaly caused by the app not properly...

Sandwich plate at filter.

Is there any way to disable the factory "safe modes" associated with high inferred oil temp on the factory gauge? I have several cooling mods, including race louvers on the hood, and I am now seeing approx. 40 deg difference between my mechanical oil temp gauge, and the factory inferred temp...

1.375" seems a bit thin. The Mishimoto core is listed at 2.05" thick. Here is a pick of the Mishi next to the factory PP radiator.

Thanks for sharing this. "A future where the government clamps down harder on vehicle emissions is a given, that much is clear." At least through 2024.

It's an interesting thought, but I don't have room in my garage for four 55 gal drums of fuel. I can barely fit a 5 gal gas can now, especially with the track tires/wheels in there as well.

But if I can't keep the motor cool on track with 310 HP, more HP isn't going to make that task easier.

Yeah, along those same lines, I thought maybe I'd just run the stock tune at the track, and any sort of "enhanced tune" for the street. But I'm not sure that is practical. I suspect once you install the COBB tune, it would be a PITA to go back and forth every time there is a track day. I'm...

I use Track Addict, connected via OBDII. The coolant temp falls off immediately. For example, at Road America, the coolant will get up to 225-230 down the straights, while at WOT and full boost (short shifting at 5200). As soon as you lift, it starts dropping a few degs. During the cool...

Got it. Thanks.

Hmm, not sure about that. Pressurized liquid can run at higher temps. Apparently the ECU won't intervene until you are around 250. I can run all day 220-230 without any interference from the stock ECU. If the engineers thought that was dangerous, I have a feeling they would let you know...

I'm with you. I use this car as my DD in the Chicago area, including winters. I rigged up an aluminum baking dish under the vents, held in place with a couple of wing nuts, with a rubber hose that drains over the the drivers side, away from any belts or electronics. Seems to work well so far...
