I had to go back and read my Pm's,it was meth they couldn't remote tune for. They said they SHOULD be able to remote tune for race gas. I had stuck in my head no custom remote tuning:frusty
h well if i decide against meth and my Cobb tune doesn't perform the way I want I'll sh** can it and get the livernois tune. Thanks
what is the gear on the crank for? Balance shafts?Your concern is understandable. The crank is a solid piece from the factory. The piston and rod combo is something to be more concerned with. We have already discovered this by tearing into several 2.3LEB's. We have already developed a rotating assembly for the 2.3!
This kit utilizes our custom forged piston and forged I-beam connecting rod in conjunction with the forged 2.3L crankshaft. The kit includes all the pieces needed to build a fully forged 2.3L Ecoboost engine.
The pistons include heavy duty thick wall wristpins as well as a stainless steel top ring. These components are designed specifically for this boosted application. The pistons have thicker ringlands, increased crown thickness, thicker skirts and skirt struts as well as reinforced pin boss.
This package lets you build a 2.3L Ecoboost that will handle whatever you can throw at it and keep coming back for more.
I'm almost positive they said in another thread that it was for the balance shafts. It also seems like Livernois or someone said they was working on a BS delete kit too.
While all engines are different, I've done his on all my past 4G63s and it wasn't bad at all.
I would venture that 80% of my decision to buy my car was based upon what you did with yours. That is a fact, and I have no reason to lie. Like the OP, I figured 10's were an easily obtainable goal based on what you did with your car and mostly stock parts. After talking to you, I did not get the impression that tune was going out to the public.
Understood, but to try and blame us for not sharing our success without patronizing us makes no sense. And that is what we find frustrating. We we are here to try to provide all of the support for building the best and most reliable vehicles on the street, strip and/or track.
How do you retune with the use of datalogs for the car? I'm seriously curious about that.
Mike, we did not hide the fact that the "glory run" as you call it was for validation only. It is a subtitle in the video. We feel that getting into the 10's will be an attainable goal as well. But, as everyone knows we are restricted by the lack of an adequate fueling solution for the platform as a whole. Even with some of our other record holders in the EB category we struggle with the same thing. We hope that the 2G of the EB platform will allow us to further advance the fueling system. We are and have been working on a solution for this, but it is far more involved than most people assume.
