common mods...
I think that slicky is trying to say that there is nothing to be gained by modding your car without tuning it as well. Which is correct. I think that you are lost in his delivery. There are also parts that are not there for any direct performance gains, like an FMIC or tstat. They are there to...- Livernois

Tunes for the N/A 3.5L Explorers
Most of the Explorers that we tune are actually 4x4's. The gains are identical. Your overall power output is slightly lower, but the gains are going to be identical.- Livernois

We have actually explored (no pun intended) all of these things years ago. There is research and development that we do privately and for other companies that never sees the light of day.

HPFP High Pressure Fuel Pump and tuning
We have tested this for years. The ~5% additional spray and atomization means nothing. You cannot effectively upgrade the fueling system without addressing the cam driven metering system. As for the F150 comparo, the F150 is a completely different animal. Different block, heads and turbos!- Livernois

PTU Fluid
You do need to use an air compressor to suction the fluid out of the PTU. Another good practice is to fill your PTU to the fill line and then add an extra PINT to it. The reasoning for this is to prevent any cavitation from occurring after the fluid is hot and becomes less viscus.- Livernois

The stock unit is 178°F. With an 18° delta you will not see a nominal difference in where the needle sits on your dash.

For Livernois and others. questions about engines blowing
I would say that there is no way that your technician is more well versed in the EcoBoost platform than we are. Where would he have gotten his technical data in order to make such a recommendation?

All of this is true.

2014 Explorer Sport Livernois Tune Question
We recommend having the tuning and mods done simultaneously (or as close as possible). You can install the tune after you pick her up from the dealer as well. This way you are not taking your vehicle in with any non-Ford calibration on it. This is probably what I would do if I were you.- Livernois

We do not recommend any type of intake or throttle body spacers at all. There is nothing to be gained by these mods as the limitations of the EcoBoosts or any MAP vehicle have nothing to do with the volumetric capacity of air. No worries Tony, have a good day!:thumbsup:- Livernois

Absolutely not! You cannot tell the ECM to ignore a system that is responsible for the cooling of your engine. We alter the operating temp that your ECM deems allowable, as well as altering your cooling fan settings to allow for optimal cooling capabilities.- Livernois
