  1. Any Guitar players out there?

    I also play guitar, and learning it has been a fun ride. When I started, I just had a simple guitar and amp. The key for me was to keep practising and trying new things. Every new riff I learned made it more exciting. I watch a bunch of guitar videos on YouTube, too. It's cool to see how...
  2. Advice Buying Used Car

    When I was in a similar situation, looking for a reliable yet sporty car, I had my heart set on a Subaru WRX. Just like the Mustang GT, it's a performance car, so I had to be extra careful about its maintenance history and any modifications done by the previous owner. It's always best to have a...
  3. Cost to replace blown Ecoboom engine?

    Unfortunately, I did not. The parts manager said that was the engine part number it said to order based on my VIN number. I sent a query to Tasca and I'm hoping they can tell us. I know Cyl #2 let go. I know the rod broke and punched thru the engine wall and I know the piston broke up (it...
  4. Cost to replace blown Ecoboom engine?

    Thanks man! Fortunately my baby is back in one piece and on the road again. Made it out of the dealer with a new engine, turbo, misc. parts, labor and Ford Performance Pro Cal/Intake installed (labor only) for $6,500.00. So... now we know what it costs to replace a blown Ecoboost engine...
  5. Cost to replace blown Ecoboom engine?

    Well, bad news on the Ford Performance tune from Ford Warranty: "We can register this VIN for the Ford Performance warranty, but I did want to remind you that our warranty is for 3 years, 36,000 miles from the original in-service (sale) date of the vehicle which would give you approximately...
  6. Ford Racing ProCal Tune

    I had it connected to the vehicle and the gauges were registering voltage and the laptop was connected to WiFi. Not sure if the fact that the dealer already downloaded with my ID has something to do with it but I asked them to give me a copy. Does anyone know if it downloads the stock tune to...
  7. Ford Racing ProCal Tune

    Fuel is 91oct and is the only grade I have ever run in it. Dealer spoke to Ford Techline and they suggested taking the tune off and verifying no misfires which we did. They drove it 20 miles and I drove it to/from home last night and this morning so another 50+ miles. No misfires or CEL's, so...
  8. Ford Racing ProCal Tune

    Dropped it off this morning and was surprised they actually gave me a loaner (Fusion). I asked them to give me the FP tune file on a USB stick that I provided. I loaded the FP software on a laptop I have, but it wouldn't download the tune file. Finger crossed....
  9. Ford Racing ProCal Tune

    Here's my situation: Brand new long block & turbo. Tech test drove with stock air box and verified everything was good to go. He then installed the Ford Performance tune and did not test drive. I picked up the car, drove it 2-3 miles and it started shuddering, lost power and the engine light...
  10. Ford Racing ProCal Tune

    If I understand correctly, the ProCal software that comes with the tune (that is put on a laptop) can be used to log and analyze just like a Cobb or similar device and does not require any additional hardware? I just ordered the the kit from Summit and I'm curious about additional...
  11. Cost to replace blown Ecoboom engine?

    Did the new install include a new turbo?
  12. Cost to replace blown Ecoboom engine?

    Thanks - discussed Esslinger here I would have loved to have gone that route but just couldn't afford it.

  14. Cost to replace blown Ecoboom engine?

    I actually have the question in to the dealer parts counter and i'm waiting to hear back. Reason I'm curious is the written estimate given to me for MY car is the non-PP engine number. Makes me nervous...
  15. Cost to replace blown Ecoboom engine?

    That's understood, but what is the difference between the engine block for a PP vs. non-PP. Ford lists (2) P/N's: GR3Z6006E - ENGINE - Mustang; w/o Performance Package GR3Z6006F - ENGINE - Mustang; w/ Performance Package
  16. Cost to replace blown Ecoboom engine?

    If someone is buying a new engine, what condition of core do they expect to get back? Mine has a hole, I can't image it's an optimal exchange. Ya, I'll go back to stock and FP tune just for the warranty. Can't afford to do this twice (much less once) - wife would shoot me, cut my nuts off and...
  17. Cost to replace blown Ecoboom engine?

    OK, for those who might have a need to look for this info like I did, here are the P/N's you'll need for stock long block replacement. $2,853.57 - GR3Z6006E - ENGINE - Mustang; w/o Performance Package $2,843.91 - GR3Z6006F - ENGINE - Mustang; w/ Performance Package Not sure what the...
  18. Cost to replace blown Ecoboom engine?

    Thanks, I mis-spoke as I should have said they don't list the brand of components their using. I was mainly interested in the piston & rods. Might be a moot point, Esslinger came in at $6,800 for just the block and head clean up, which leaves me nothing in the budget for R&R labor or misc...
  19. Cost to replace blown Ecoboom engine?

    I actually remembered seeing that engine credit on the classified's and looked for it the night mine blew and saw that you bought it. Damn you, but glad you got a good deal. Esslinger isn't far from where the car is right now (25mi) and if I could get the whole thing done for 6-7k I would...
  20. Cost to replace blown Ecoboom engine?

    One thing I have learned is to shop around... Parts are all over the place, just a cylinder head is anywhere from $600 to $2999. Retail, the crate engine is $5,500 to $6,700 Current dealer is quoting $7,500 and said the engine alone was $3,700, second dealer is quoting $5,200, currently...
