Exoboost tuner ??? F150

is the bullydog got tuner for the 2015 F150 ecoboost v6 worth a shit?

 

I've used an sct 7015 on the ecoboost they work well and wake them up a bit. It also has a decent amount of options to adjust too.

 

Nope, neither is Superchips.

Just poking around the F150 forum, Livernois seems to be the tuner to go to for the 3.5l Ecoboost

Livermois. Enough said.

 

Is the 3.5l V6 in the F150 similar to the 3.5 used in the Flex?

 

Same engines, im sure the intake and accessories are placed differently for packaging purposes but the overall 3.5 is the same.

Local mustang forum had a track day and a guy with 9 sec 2015 mustang took his 4 door full size ecoboost with a tune down the track. 13.5s with no issues.

Impressive.

 

there is a local guy here with a full sized 4dr eco boost truck running low 12s at the moment. Its tuned by a shop that specializes in SCT. The owner is not trying to make the truck a "drag racer" with a big stall convertor, etc...but its certainly impressive for what it is, making ~500 ft lbs of torque. The local fwd set that prefers to "roll" race can't seem to field a decent running car to beat it.

 

Next gen twin turbo 3.5 is even more impressive.

 

Just buy a diesel and be done.

 

Does the truck 3.5 have the same problem as the Edge 3.5 where if a coil pack fails it takes out the PCM too?

 

These guys. Just got an SCT X-4 from them with a tow tune for the V-10 Winnebago.

I just bought a 2016 Focus ST with a 2.0L Ecoboost engine , any recommendations for upgrades to this little hot hatch?

 

Look for a Ford Focus forum page or Facebook page, you will find a wealth of bullshit and knowledge there.

 

For my 2013 fx4 supercrew I have a livewire SCT tuner and SSI/MPT tunes, there are a ton of guys running 12's in the 1/4 with nothing more than a tune on these trucks. brake boosted launches in 4x4 is insane.

A tune is night and day different on these trucks and engines. The shifting is amazing after a tune, fuel millage increases, and they drive way better. I literally put mine back to stock the other day and it sucked so bad I put it back immediately. Even the canned tunes from SCT are light years better than stock. Then buy a package from MPT and you will really be amazed. If you want a race tune go SSI but make sure you datalog carefully.

 

Really? That big a difference? What is a "SSI/MPT" tune?

 

I picked up the Livernois tuner for my 15 3.5 eco, haven't driven a ton of miles but it definitely makes a difference!

I like the fact that the tunes are a bit more customized than regular can tunes even without having to hit up a dyno.

 

You may have just sold me on something I had no idea I needed. The fuel mileage alone would be a plus.

 

Just an FYI, make sure you do research as some tuners that say they increase fuel mileage require you to run premium grade fuel and not your cheap 87 octane.

 

I ran this on my older V8 F150. Now with the EcoBoost, it's tempting to do it again ..

 

Just go drive a tuned one now, it is unbelievable how neutered they are from the factory.

Different companies make tunes that are a lot more refined than what comes stock in the SCT or whatever programmer you buy.

I would recommend a tune from 5 star or MPT for starting out. A tune from SSI is a little involved just IMO, other people may tell you to just email him and Sean will e-mail you your tune (guy at SSI). However once you get a tune dialed in from him hang the f on. I think 45 guys are running 12's in f150's on his forum.

12.37s 1/4 mile supercrew ecoboost tune only (so they say maybe meth injection etc...)



For a medium performance tune you could expect gains like:
Stock: 305 rwhp / 385 rwtq
Tuned: 390 rwhp/ 473 rwtq
