The tune being the important bit
"Yeah, about that EcoBoost engine lol
Pretty much all of them are at risk for head warpage prior to 50k miles
The cylinders have a "water cooled jacket", so they're only attached to the rest of the head at the bottom end"
Tune of what? An ECU remap?
Yes
It's called an open deck, and it's only one motor that's open deck.
Also that thread sounds about like what i was saying
190hp is easy
Above 200hp takes work
Which, tbf, isnt worth it on an econobox
I have seen people do it, but they throw tons of money at it
I might do that if i get a second car tho
at no point does it suggest 190 was easy, unfortunately the guy removed his setup from his signature but he does say he was running 33% E85 mixed with 93 gas
Also just saying. The bit that started this, with me talking about cam and turbo upgrades, was a joke.
Also i gave a range. 180 to 190. Not just 190
Tune by itself gives 39 to 50 hp iirc.
From trifecta at least.
Bnr has a less aggressive tune i think
Now maybe when i was looking this shit up before i missed details about using e85 to get those last few horses
Absolutely possible. Likely, in fact
But even 180hp is a sizeable increase in juice for just an intake, exhaust, and ecu tune
Anything beyond that is messing around for fun on an extra car. You are absolutely right in saying its probably not worth it. @LOGiK
I question the use of e85 tho.
For just 10 to 15hp, doesnt seem worth the hassle
does your car have a 126mph limiter on it?
also the 180 is probably gonna need a decat without other mods from what I can see
HOLY SHIT EBAY SELLERS SUCK BALLS FML
Well yeah.
dude
I just wanna fucking buy something and pick it up
not pay postage
I messaged the dude
he responds
I tell him he needs to amend his goddamn ebay listing because it forces full payment at present
nothing
I also want this but I can't justify the cost right now
Whenever i see Brembo it looks like Bimbo at first glance
Bimbo brakes
Ugly small brakes
Lol
