It's the new-to-me 2015 EB PP car!

18x10 SVE Drift wheels (43mm offset) with 285/40-18 Nitto 555 tires front and rear. They arrived yesterday (purchased used from a guy on a forum). Front tires are VERY close to the struts so I'll be adding thin (3-5mm) spacers for a little peace of mind.

Looks good!

Here's my Lund-tune-only dyno results.

I drove around for several days on 93 gas prior to dynoing with the factory tune. The factory tune dyno was 2 weeks prior to today's Lund tune results.

This is on the initial 93 file that Lund sent to me. I did send them 3rd and 4th gear WOT datalogs and they said they looked good, no alterations needed.

5th gear pull on each run.

Runfile 1 was a cooled-off (but 180 degree engine temp) factory-tune pull on 93 octane. Runfile 5 was a cooled-off (180 degree) pull with the Lund tune on 93. It did make a little more power. Runfile 6 was a backup pull with the Lund tune made around 5 minutes later, more torque because of the extra heat in the exhaust but it fell off back to factory hp at high rpm presumably because of heat soak from the factory intercooler being way too small for the car. Still, a robust gain overall from a simple tune change! Obviously the car feels totally different driving around with all the new low- and mid-range torque. 20psi boost at 2500 rising slightly to around 21.5 at the top of the pull.



Here's the weather condition / correction stuff.

Nice!

Small world, I know who you are getting the MAP FMIC/DP from! Gotta watch dem truck drivers, lol!

Hehe

Get some serious oil vapor control on there Kris, they dropping like flies over at the other place!

I'm monitoring the threads looking for something consistent with regard to failures. It doesn't seem like oil vapor control (or at least the method used) has anything to do with it. I'm starting to think that the people who have lots of oil that ends up in the intakes/catch cans/etc, are because they have components already 'hurt' and the oil issues are just an indication of the blowby caused by it. Eh, who knows.

Turbo motors have a lot of crankcase pressure. Oil vapor and especially oil droplets are bad bad news. You know this already, you were turbo before.

Yes I understand, but it seems like most of the folks who have had their engines grenade already did all the catch can/pcv change or gut/whatever so it's not a 'fix' anyway. I'll probably get a CC setup of some sort anyway.

CC and tune combination wasn't up to snuff. I would run a catch can breather, but don't hear many of the ecoboost guys doing that.

Looks great!

Black wheels look good on that color.

E30 results! I'm impressed. This is at the same boost level (about 21-22lbs) as the 93 tune, just with a 1/3 E70 and 2/3 93 octane mix (aka E30). The tune was tweaked by Lund for the change in stoich for the fuel and it allows for more spark adder but that was the only change. The car loves it! Unfortunately the fuel system won't support full E85 in these cars so E30 is it. The plot is a cooled-off 93 pull versus a cooled-off E30 pull. The E30 tune is also lots more consistent as it only lost a couple hp and tq on a backup pull. 177-179* cylinder head temp on both.
Also the air inlet temp (post intercooler) was much warmer on the E30 pull, starting at 82*F at the beginning of the pull rising to 156* at the end! (yes the factory intercooler is terrible). On the 93 octane pull, inlet temp started at 51* and rose to 125*.

Nice gains and yes, the stock FMIC is junk.

Rock Falls Raceway today. Obviously my first times down the track with this car. Been a while since I've driven a stick car at the track. No matter. Also they just repaved the track over the winter and it was GREASY until noon or so. Then it got a little better but by then the good morning DA was gone.

Lund E30 tune, Racestar 17x9.5 rear wheels with 295/45 M/T DR, Racestar 17x7 front wheels with 215/60s. NGK plugs gapped at .028. SR Lowering springs.

All else 100% factory stock. Full weight (except I removed the tire refiller thing).

Nice! FMIC next?

Yeah, I'm waiting for what's-his-face to get it for me! haha. And catless downpipe. Then Lund can turn the boost up a little with the cooler air charge temps. Still only 21-22lbs even on E30.
Hopefully very soon.

LOL...that will be nice...stick with Lund and don't use the person of whom Jason and I don't speak of....
