    2019 Sport Performance

    You can use a feeler gauge to check the gap after you pull it out and honestly just use a workbench to tap plug off of and check gap. Usually one or 2 taps will do nothing to crazy needed.

    2019 Sport Performance

    30 hp on a dyno isn't that significant unless it was done at the exact same time at the exact engine temp. Also same wheels and tires gear size trans etc. But the same car on a different day could almost have 30 hp loss or gain. Most common which I should have suggested before is I would check...

    Picked up 2017 Sport-Thoughts So Far

    Yes these vehicles truly are amazing. We love the power we get out of them and if not heavy in the gas you also get an increase in mileage off of a tune also. I just like the fact you can get great hp gains for cheap. Great pick up man and enjoy. Let us know if you have any questions.

    Resetting CPU to stock on 2015 ExSport

    I take it the company did not save your stock file. We try to always have the stock file on backup just for this situation or if device gets stolen. But if they do not have it they should still have a stock file to put in. I would see if they have someone else's stock tune for you. Hopefully...

    Hello from Idaho

    I'm sorry wanted to correct my last statement we have actually been doing ecoboost engine since 2009 on a ford flex.

    2019 Sport Performance

    Did you have a tune on it. Reason I ask is because they are the same motor and platform all hp ratings are the same. Now maybe you are feeling more torque management in a newer vehicle.

    Hello from Idaho

    Hey congrats on the explorer. These are a lot of fun and cheap to get a lot of power out of. We have been doing the 3.5 ecoboost since they came out in the taurus SHO in 2010. If you have any questions message me or you can even call us at 313-561-5500 my name is Jake. Thanks and enjoy

    2020 Ford Explorer Order Status

    Hey thanks for the response. Now unfortunately we cannot predict when a vehicle manufacturer is going to switch software. We would have switched earlier if we knew what they were going to be using. Now that we just released this one it should be good for some time but of course that will be up...

    Vibration on my new explorer 2017

    Now that is a pretty low speed to get vibration from wheel and tires also unless it had a shifted belt but you would feel that worst at low speeds does it get better the faster you go? Maybe it is a drivetrain issue either axle or bearing causing vibration but that would be only other thing I...

    Vibration on my new explorer 2017

    Well it still could be rim or tire related. Are they road force balancing the tires. Also why don't you try moving tires around to see if anything changes from changing positions. Usually the seat shake is a sign of out of balance

    2020 Ford Explorer Order Status

    Hey guys we are for sure excited to see the new explorer. Yes we are not sure what we can get out of it until we get one here. Now as for your old device working on new 2020 explorer the answer is only touch screen tuners will work because of the switch to the 10 speed transmission the non-touch...

    Tunes for the N/A 3.5L Explorers

    I hate to say it but are you sure they weren't thinking it was an ecoboost engine. The non turbo motors won't even come close to 400hp even at the crank let alone the wheels. As you see in this video a stock 3.5 N/A only makes 218hp to the ground. We have an excellent tune but you cannot make...

    Lowering Springs on a PIU

    Yes the lowering springs will fit on PIU the Platinum and the Sport. It will not work on any other model explorer. Now we have never done a police interceptor in shop but we sold them to a customer and he confirmed they fit but it must be a 3.5 ecoboost. Here is the link if you guys want to...

    2013 Explorer leans in curves and dips hard

    Yes you need a suspension upgrade. Also not sure if you have a sport or platinum but lowering springs make it handle way better also. But usually around 85k you need struts and shocks anyways.

    Ranger Raptor Will Not Be Sold in US

    Who knows what the final decision will be. Lately I've seen the diesel in it now will not pass emission laws over here so they are saying they will put 2.7 ecoboost in it for over here. Who knows what is real and rumors but I want to see one that is for sure

    3.5 Ecoboost - What type of fuel are you running?

    Yes you are correct a little extra octane will pep up the tune a little more. And the higher the octane the better mileage you will get also. It will add timing if it shows more octane.

    Sport EcoBoost 3.5L Tuning

    Ya I'm not sure what your current tune puts down on explorer. I can tell you ours picks up around 70awhp usually from a stock tune plus 90 ft lbs of torque. So you have to decide what is worth it for the gains you may see. Just let me know if any thing else I can help you with.

    Road Trip Report

    Yes a lot of my customers in the Texas Arizona area's have a low fuel octane even then what it says sometimes. So even though there pump says 91 octane we have to give them an 89 tune because of poor fuel quality.
  19. L

    Road Trip Report

    You are correct dropping octane will decrease mileage and power. Now you still could have loaded tune and brought device with you because they should have gave you 93 and 91 if not 89 87 as well. You could have loaded up right tune if not able to find 93. Now with such long highway use being...

    Sport EcoBoost 3.5L Tuning

    Hey I have been waiting for someone to respond to you so it would not be a manufacturer giving you opinions. Since no one has replied to you I just wanted to ask if there is a certain area you are wondering how the tunes work. If you want to ask us anything do not hesitate.

    Sport EcoBoost 3.5L Tuning

    And as for the downpipe upgrade it will free up about 10-15hp and 25-30hp if combined with catback. As for noise level the downpipe doesn't change sound to much but catback will increase sound. We use a drone free exhaust that does increase the sound and performance for you. Thank you

    Sport EcoBoost 3.5L Tuning

    Hey guys just wanted to jump in on this. Now how to preserve this is by not taking all the torque management of tune from factory. We want to keep some in so you do not snap axles or other parts. Now as for longevity we have had no issues with our tuning and people have put our tune on as soon...

    Picking up Monday

    Hey glad to hear you grabbed a new explorer sport. These things are animals and with minor modifications really make an awesome ride with power. With just our tune on there it will pick up 60hp to the ground and over 80ft lbs. of torque. Now are most common package is called our hurricane bundle...

    3.5 Ecoboost - What type of fuel are you running?

    Well some people don't even have 91 octane in their area so I agree you should run premium it is better for the car. You will get better miles per gallon and more power but some people get limited to local resources.
  26. L

    3.5 Ecoboost - What type of fuel are you running?

    The higher the octane the higher the horsepower so yes they advertise it with 93 octane. Yes running 94 octane you will see a slight increase in performance. The tune will pick up timing when it has more octane up to a few degrees.

    Best tuner for Explorer Sport?

    Yes no need to trade in your device unless it is just to data log. The tune file is the same we would never keep our latest version tune from any of our current customers no matter what device you have. Thanks again everyone

    Best tuner for Explorer Sport?

    Yeah currently we have no trade in special on the release but that doesn't mean eventually we won't have one. Now remember the tune file will still be the same as our latest version of the tune. You just don't have the ability to datalog. But performance wise will be the same for you guys...

    Best tuner for Explorer Sport?

    Hey guys thanks for using us. I can tell you we do not have per say economy tunes. They are either performance or tow tunes. Now on the performance tune you should see a 1-4mpg increase. Depends on how you drive of course and the higher the octane the better mpg you will see. Now on our new ford...

    2007 Esplora tire size help.

    Yeah I would suggest a 245/75/16. I'm pretty sure they fit especially if 4x4

    Anyone make the switch from 245/55r18 to 245/60r18? Big difference?

    Not exactly apples to apples. Yes the sidewall height is slightly smaller on your tire swap but it is also over an inch in total height and an inch wider. So yes technically lower profile but not quite the comparison 245/55/18 to 245/60/18. but yes your 275/40/21 is same height pretty much as...

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    Thank you for the support. I'm glad you are enjoying the tune. It truly is amazing how fast these explorer's become after a tune.

    Anyone make the switch from 245/55r18 to 245/60r18? Big difference?

    I believe the only real reason they use the smaller sidewall for the police unit is to handle corners better. The stiffer sidewall won't flex as much and will more then likely come in a higher speed rating. It is not a huge difference but less sidewall means not as good as a ride but will handle...

    Best tuner for Explorer Sport?

    Sorry guys for the wait on response I have been out sick. But we actually no longer carry the mycalibrator for the ford vehicles. We upgraded to our new mycal touch. Biggest difference is a touch screen tuner that is extremely easy to use. You do have the ability to data log and chart. Now some...

    Welcome. Now just so you know if you have the 3.5 ecoboost twin turbo motor they pick up so much power off a tune and 3 bar map sensor. Now if it is a 3.5 N/A motor the only thing offered is a tune and that is about it. Hope you enjoy your explorer and if you have any questions email me back or...
