It is. Why would it be closed? :shrug:Seems like it's still open.........
Nah.It is. Why would it be closed? :shrug:
To summarize thus far:
- Don't mod your car under warranty if you can't afford to fix it
- Modding a 2015 ecoboost is more of a gamble than a 2016+
- Don't put a tune in your car that has to be changed out when it drops below 60 degrees.
Anything else?
The thing is I saw few threads here and other forums, which was talking about blown engine without any mods. This is why I am kinda afraid to go back to stock engine. But I love my car, so I want to keep my 2.3 Mustang. Of course, if everything is stock, the chance of getting blown engine is lower than the engine with mods though.
I was running a 93 tune.was he running a 93 or e30 tune?
Hope they give me a Cleaveland one if I decide going with the stock. I haven't decided yet... By the end of today, I have to decide since car rental is not cheap... :(Are they giving you a Spain built 2015 engine (with the supposedly "bad" rods) or are they giving you a Cleveland 2015-2017 engine? The Spain ones were allegedly built poorly and when they moved manufacturing to the USA (Murica!), they changed part numbers or a few things, one of which are the rods (which were the cause of a few of these ecobooms on the forums). Someone please correct me if Im wrong. That is heavy evidence as to why newer models havent blown up. Of course there is always the occasional lemon. I am assuming they would at least give u an engine with the new part numbers. You should be fine if u go with a stock engine. If you dont care about warranty, then all power to you to get the upgraded block. And no more winter/summer tune! Its easy to forget I am sure.
I think it is power train only but I'm not sure. I will check with the dealership about that.Sorry to hear about the engine failure OP. While being a proponent of a built engine, the factory warranty that you would get back is a solid investment. Is that power train or full?
Enjoy your Ecoboost and do not listen to all this internet BS.Do you want some proof how tough a 2015 Ford Mustang Ecoboost that is tuned properly as follows:damn man.. tough loss.. im on a tight budget right now and im really on the edge about selling the eco and getting something reliable like a 5.0 f-150 .. i too have a valencia engine
Are you sure that's all true? I thought for last year he had in a built short block since making serious power and his original engine is now being turned into a monster via Esslinger.Enjoy your Ecoboost and do not listen to all this internet BS.Do you want some proof how tough a 2015 Ford Mustang Ecoboost that is tuned properly as follows:

He did build a race motor,but all the above facts are true and was accomplished using the original motor that came in his 2015 Ford Mustang Ecoboost from the factory.Are you sure that's all true?
