Ecobeasts that have NOT Boomed!

What's your mod list?

PTE 5558, E85, 4k stall converter, drag suspension, etc.

How big of a difference is it with the e85 setup? Much faster? You can run it straight now?

It's incredible. I definitely made much more power. Even on the stock turbo going from E30 to E85 I picked up 3mph in the 1/4 with the stock turbo.

I've been running straight E85 since January or just before. My car hasn't seen regular gas in a long time.

Damn impressive!:hail:

Also, no mods at all to the engine internals? All stock (Rods, etc)?

Our shop Ecoboost has 5k miles with over a 100 1/4 mile hits. We have pushed meth and nitrous down it's throat, rans 10s multiple times now, beat on it weekly at the track, still drives fine on the street. Stock motor, Stock turbo and some really good tuning.

And I promise we have beat ours harder then any other ecoboost out there. LOL

Completely stock long block.

They might not have been on the same day. Some people regularly go to the track and not just once...

I never said in one day and I've been more than once, thanks

So, to sum up, keys to success... Low calcium oil, good tune (some of you are further ahead of this than others) or no tune (stock ford for warranty).

My personal opinions.
Find a way to keep the intake valves clean. Mine have been clean with redline full synthetic 5w30, going to 5w40 motul like my old race car soon. Mishi catch can and upgraded pcv. Will run the ccv to exhaust vacuum soon.
No tune yet, but will go with Tune+ (from a fairly educated automotive tech standpoint, the best tuner out there for the eco so far.)

Future plans, bigger turbo, ported head, Ford Racing cams, but lower boost. Making more power than stock with less backpressure should be incredibly reliable on the stock HPFP.

I am at 52000 miles, had a the precision 5862 running a WMI setup for about 26k miles, back on the stock turbo, but kept the supporting mods, still running tune+ tunes, and WMI and running fine, stock block etc. Only issue is the pesky oil leaks everyone gets round the boost solenoid and valve cover.

Other than that I run VR1 synthetic 20w50 with the catless dp, NGK plugs, and high flow filter. The only thing I do not like is the obvious weak link MT82, after running a 2013 in my 11 V6 and having it in my 15GT now the EBM I am not a fan at all, I do not see why my wifes 16 Focus with the 6 speed manual gets to shift smoothly with no effort but the MT82 is still so damn clunky as shit, its not a joy to row the gears in it at all. It has to be really warm out for it to be acceptable, and every time I romp it I have to worry if second will clunk away just like my previous two trannys. Just seems to me that they should have worked it out by now, and the fact you still see issues now with the 18s makes me wonder why not throw the TREMEC in instead.

About a year and a half now, 21K miles mostly highway, and the only issues I've had were self-inflicted. Cobb tune, intake & exhaust, plus some minor bolt-on odds and ends, intercooler should be on next week. Best 0-60 so far 5.4 seconds.

Thread has been dead for over 2 years and I am still driving IT .

 

[MrGreen]

36000 miles. Installed stage 2 cobb tune at 1000 miles. Been drifting it a lot lately and hitting red line a lot. No problems so far. I just installed new lowside fuel pressure.

 

[Twign]

85k and still counting on original engine, caught the lsfp sensor in time, been running Adams tune for past 15k, and was running Cobbs tune since 10k. Only have run rotella t6 since I drove it home off the trailer.

 

[mustang_puppy]

Bought mine used about 8 months ago and am at almost 41K miles. Minor suspension mods only so far. Will eventually do some engine mods.

 

[panhandler62]

I have 40k on mine. It runs great. No performance mods yet.... there is an FP CAI/ProCal on order, but it hasn't arrived yet.
