Still hoping!
One tip for jerky 8L90E no throttle downshift. At least one time each week it helps (at operating temp) to let off the throttle at highway speeds and let it gradually slow down almost to a stop with...
This Raptor R owner is really hounding me. I'm hoping that something is in the works.

I'm not into the "My key" option myself but I think it lowers the limit to 85 MPH and makes them wear the seat belt if they want to listen to the radio. If you keep the master keys and just give...
MPT just did a video using a 22 F150 PCM in a 23 F150 to allow tuning.

I don't know enough to be sure if the architecture of a 22 F150 PCM will work on...
23 Raptor R in the shop. Any news on access to these?
Yes, the file is stock. It will be best if you can hook up to IDS and watch misfires clearly as you go wide open. I have asked HPTuners about adding it before but have not noticed it being added. So...
Are you referring to the throttle wavering between 1:35.14 and 1:35.20 and again around 1:35.40s that is the throttle metering the airflow into the intake manifold to maintain roughly 14psi boost,...
What did you gap the plugs at? Most seem to like .027-.028". That is what I do.
Also the rubber coil boots and springs inside the boots can be a problem.
Once you have confirmed these things,...
It is normal for the throttle to open and close on an Ecoboost. It is part of how they control boost. The more you read on here, the more you will see that same question and same answer.
The...
I've seen Ecoboosts suck a bunch of fuel through the evap tube after filling the fuel tank too high. That will get you these 2 codes together. Repeating this also ruins the evap valves (purge and/or...
I can confirm that blindsquirrel is right about GM's calibration method. When the first brackets were made for a fleet of GMCs (that had the shutters removed for their red and blue emergency lights)...
Oh yeah! You have greatly benefited a LOT of us!
Thanks so much for your response. I've spent a lot of time learning the 6l on 4th GEN and pretty happy with the results but I'm sure your input would bring much more good. Thanks for making the...
Oh man! I've been very distracted with Ecoboom vehicles lately and did not see this thread until today. Really bummed that I am too late to see the 8L90E mods GHuggins made. Would love to compare to...
I'd have to second that. I had been tuning for several years but I still took several months of intense study before attempting my first Ecoboost. Many Ecoboosts later I still learned some really...
I wish that we understood why more clearly but either way, good news is good news.
Back when I pulled the messed up balance shafts out of my friend's Focus ST it did not take long. So even if you decide to put them back, it is not much of a time commitment. It felt like it had...
IDS has a dynamic compression test where the system measures crank speed while turning the motor with the starter. It has been a useful tool for me over the years. I've never looked for it in Forscan...
Seen canister purge valves causing a constant vacuum leak on a number of EB Fords lately. Might not catch that on a smoke test.
I wrote to them about adding this for Fords a few years ago. But no reply.
IDS has it so it is clearly available from the vehicle side.
I totally agree. GM has been running their ignition systems similarly since GEN4. Anybody that reduces timing to the point that they don't see "knock retard" loses quite a bit of power and fuel...
I might get trashed on here for admitting this but...
Back in 2012 a friend of mine got a new Focus ST, intake, exhaust, and a COBB tune. Within 10,000 miles the balance shaft gears really came...
Yep. I gap plugs at .028" for EB rigs. Also just ordered the Ford Performance plug that is supposed to be 1 step cooler. Hopefully that upgraded intercooler will have your timing numbers improving....
