Ecoboost 0-60

[Seesnax]

With an automatic, and assuming you're controlling the shifts (via the paddles), do not underestimate your shift points: don't run it to redline at each shift. You want to shift at the point where the car will be in the power band of the next higher gear (plus, the engine seems to run out of steam as you get close to redline). On my 2016 EB (non-PP) automatic (6-speed), I hit the 1-2 shift at about 4800 RPM. This puts me right in the power band of second gear, which I can run up to 60 mph. I noticed several tenths difference in doing so (can regularly run off 5.8-5.9s 0-60 times).

Not sure what the shift points would (or should) be of the 10-speed, but I'm sure someone on here has some experience with the best shift RPM. What do you guys go through getting to 60mph, like 4 shifts???

It also makes a difference on where you're at. Are you at sea level, or at altitude? I went to the track with a guy with an EB A10 and he ran 13.7s at 104 bone stock. That's a mid 5 0 to 60.

I'm fairly close to sea level. I think I'm at around 600-700ft.

Altitude/Elevation means ALOT

600-700ft is about where I'm at.

I haven't tried the paddles yet actually. I've just been using the 10A handle it all.

The Stock intercooler is a major variable. Before I upgraded to FP cal and ATM intercooler I ran into 2.5-2.7s 0-30 and 6.2-6.8s 0-60 times. Literally the car would launch fast but slow down from 30-60.

Now there is very little power drop from 30-60 no matter how many hard pulls I do.

With ATM intercooler and FP cal I got a 5.9s 0-60 in Sport/A10 from dead stop going up a hill ~ 20 degree incline.

20 degree incline? Most jeeps can only crawl a 35 degree lol I think your math is off

Lol

Maybe it was 10 degrees? I was probably being optimistic. It’s a decent hill though.

Do the 0-60 on a steep hill going down. The times will improve!

Awesome. Try a but more rpm. Just increase your launch rpm until you find the fastest speed.

What I find interesting is comparing your two sets of times:
0-30 2.3 vs 2.4
0-60 5.6 vs 6.2

With your 0-30 times so close, why is he losing 0.5 sec from 30-60? Interesting..

Yea I noticed that too on the 2nd run. 91 vs 93 octane? When I made my run it was after a 30 minute or so leisurely cruise at 55-60 mph so the intercooler wasn't working too hard...maybe OP had some heatsoak? Traction control slowing it down? There are lots of variables it's tough to say.

Good points, very interesting. Not sure! I'm eager to test again when I can though. It seems every other results I've seen so far, I'm one of the slower ones. There are a few people in my range, but mainly people in the mid 5s.

I don't like the shift points on my 6-speed - it holds each gear for too long. Like I said before, my car seems to run out of steam above about 5k RPM, so I like to "force" the shift at a little below that, again, ensuring that I am in the power band of second gear when it shifts. And I have definitely seen a drop of several tenths in the 0-60 time versus letting the computer shift for me.

Maybe the A10 does a better job shifting, and maybe your power delivery is more linear at higher engine speeds.

What say the rest of you (who drive automatics): when you are going for the best 0-60 times, do you manually shift with the paddles, or let the tranny do your shifting?

2016 Ecoboost A6, stock, 5200ft elevation, stock pirelli 255 all seasons=5.5 seconds. Built a little boost on the brake and launched well. What’s going on here with some of your 10 speed cars??

 

[BrettT]

Also with a Turbo car, altitude has a lessor effect than with a NA engine...

 

[TheReaper]

Slower than a 5.0, faster than a 4.6. Way faster than a Prius.

4.6 3V will destroy a 2.3 EB in the 1320.

My 18 A10 EBPP runs really consistent 6.1's, with a single 6.0 after I got a little heat in the P-Zero's. So far, I've put the car in drag mode, shifter in S, and rev the engine to 1200-1500. 11k miles, 93 octane since day 1, and around 600' elevation. Everything is stone stock at the moment - but a larger IC is in the mail.

I think destroy is a strong word. Stock for stock it might have a couple tenths or so but I hardly consider that destroying the eco.

Equal drivers a 2010 GT should put down a 13.2 to 13.3, an eco should do about 13.4 to 13.5. I'll take that, considering the eco has half the cylinders and displacement.
