If you're driving a 2015-2020 3.5L Ford Transit, you've got a versatile and capable vehicle. However, if you’re looking to optimize fuel economy, transform your driving dynamics, or improve towing performance, custom tuning is the best upgrade you can make. Here’s why a custom tune package offers unparalleled benefits for your Transit:
Unlocking Peak Performance:
A custom tune can significantly boost your Transit’s performance. With up to a +75 rear-wheel horsepower (RWHP) and +125 ft-lbs of torque increase in power, resulting in 385RWHP and 525ft-lbs of total torque, a custom tune unleashes the full potential of your Ford Transit's 3.5L EcoBoost engine. Whether you’re seeking exhilarating acceleration or increased towing capacity, the right tune from the right company can transform your Transit into an absolute powerhouse.
Diesel engines are renowned for their power and efficiency, but they also come with complex emission systems designed to reduce harmful pollutants. Two critical components of these systems are the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve and the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). When these components fail, it can lead to decreased performance, increased emissions, and costly repairs. Understanding the common causes of EGR and DPF failure can help you maintain your diesel engine in top condition. Here are the top three causes of failure for each component:
Adding power to your diesel, whether it be a Cummins, Powerstroke, or Duramax, can be a fun and rewarding experience. However, when it comes to upgrading an emissions in-tact truck options can sometimes be limited and results can often be underwhelming. But that doesn't mean you have to suffer with poor performance, complicated upgrades or the cost of removing your emissions components! Emissions in-tact custom tuning is a solution that will not only blow you away in terms of performance and ease of installation but it can also improve the performance gains from other aftermarket upgrades that may not be pulling their weight as they stand.
Unleashing Hidden Potential Without Compromising Emissions
Emissions In-Tact Custom Tuning is specifically designed to optimize the performance of your diesel truck while keeping all emissions systems fully operational. This means you can enjoy improved power, torque, and fuel efficiency without the need to remove or tamper with your truck’s emissions equipment.
When it comes to optimizing the performance of your diesel truck, Transmission Control Module (TCM) tuning plays a crucial role. One of the key decisions in TCM tuning is selecting between the standard or elevated shift point file. Each of these options offers distinct advantages tailored to different driving styles and preferences. Let’s dive into what each entails and help you decide which option might be best for you.
What kind of power can a stock 6.7L Cummins turbo support? What about a performance-oriented replacement? The following data represents an in-depth look at a stock HE300VG turbo compared to the Calibrated Power Stealth STR turbo bolted to our 2015 6.7 Cummins running on our Dyno-mite water brake engine dyno. This is experimental data gathered under real-world circumstances, with reasonable attempts made to control as many variables as possible for consistency. Each "cell" contains a data point that represents an average value obtained by holding the engine at a steady engine speed (RPM) and horsepower (hp) for several seconds. A stock turbo and a Stealth STR were both run steadily at each of the data points shown in the charts below. Installation, instrumentation, and operation of this engine through a gauntlet of tests took several weeks of time and burned over 40 gallons of fuel. Data was logged using an EFI live scan tool and several external inputs for additional temperature and analog parameters.
We've all heard from forums and numerous outlets that deleting the DPF and SCR on your L5P is the way to go. What we have never seen is data or tests backing up these claims. It's alway seems to be hearsay that fuels the debate on whether or not to delete your emissions in-tact truck. As you probably know, we like to put these tales to the test to try to figure out for ourselves what the truth is behind them. What should you really do with your factory emissions system when it comes to whats best for you and your truck? Find out below.
