Has anyone offered a tuning calibration for the 3.0L Ecoboost engine yet?:)

If anyone would have one or would be working on one it would probably be Livernois. Check with them. They are also a site vendor.

Livernois will be working on one. They have a donor ST setup for tuning. Not sure if they have received it yet or not.

Another good company is 5star.
 






If they are getting another 50 horses out of the same 3L tuned up, how much more can we really expect from additional tuning? Isn’t it 350 in the platinum ?
 






I think a very realistic guess is 450hp and 500tq.
 












If u google the 3.0 EcoBoost tuning, u will see some results and that is on the fwd platform with a ptu. Should be even better with the rwd version.
 






How does it work (once someone has programmed it, how do we go about getting it done?) - and - does it effect the warranty on the vehicle?

As for the warranty question, I suggest you read your Warranty Guide and in particular this part; Damage Caused by Alteration or Modification

Spoke with Livernois last week, no ETA for the 3l ST yet. Spoke with Torrie with Unleashed today, he says he can tune it.
 






Talked to Livernois again today, they say the dyno mule should show up in the next few days and a tune should be ready in a few weeks. I had been running the Livernois tune on my Escape and loved it, they are offering a trade in on my old tuner so I'm likely to go this route. Come on 450HP and 500 ft-lb!
 
























Bruce,

Do you know of any tuners using the HP Tuners platform that have been tuning for the EB engines like in the Explorers? I have a MPVI2 from tuning previous vehicles that I would love to keep and not have to buy another SCT product if I don't have to.


That's the programmer Torrie at Unleashed said he recommended.
 






Found lots of info on 3l tunes for the MKZ, I suspect the gains will be very similar for the Explorer ST.

Yes, that's how I came up with the 450hp/500tq. With it being rwd.. should be able to go higher with the tune since RWD can handle more than fwd.
 












BOOM!

They only did a Facebook Video, so got some screen grabs of the baseline and initial tune pulls;

I'm hoping with some further updates and maybe an intake mod, the power over 4500 RPM can be smoothed out some.
