New tune revisions for 2013+ Explorer Sport & SHO from LMS

[68_GT]

I'm a thread terrorist !

Back to LMS tuning updates.

BTW with the V8 tune I have also noticed the shifts are even a tad more delayed even in "D" with more load / acceleration and it's much more noticeable even more than before in "s" mode.

Define this delay? I'm not seeing it.

Me either... Quick shift for me... Tires chirp on 1-2 even with grannies if I go hard WOT.

Yeah once I eat up my DSW's I'm going to 255's; it'll fill NICELY with my H&R springs.

I wish I had done it

I wonder if they would rub? Sorry I know it's off topic

They will not.

We have several people with H&R's, 20x8.5 40mm offset and 255/45/20.

It actually looks a WHOLE lot better on those that drop their car.

Sweet thanks, I'll have to do that on my next set.

OK, I can confirm that LMS V8 tune for me at least is peaking 15lbs.

[geswek]

OH; one thing I can say is I can DEFINITELY hear the turbos louder on boost; there's a whine -- this wasn't heard in the very first 2013 tune they had back from Mayish time frame.

Can anyone else with LMS V8 hear their turbos louded under heavy boost?

[68_GT]

mine are louder at all acceleration levels. Not loud but I can hear them more than the prior tune. I have also heard by bypass "Psssh" letting off the gas under a good load in 1st and 2nd even thought they're not VTA.

[geswek]

Yeah; that's what I'm talking about -- I got VTA, but the turbos definitely WHINE a lot louder than before.

Hmm; seems to pull like a freight train -- can't wait til Ford day at Cecil.

I'm hoping to see 12.5's again more consistent.

nice what are your other mods ?

I have the PPE Catted Downpipes on the way so they will go in next week.

With LMS V8 tune, I need to schedule a new dyno run to check my numbers. I'll do that after I verify my times at track on the 19th.

Interesting; my gauge has a peak read--so whatever max boost you hit, it will save it and you hit button to see it.

I just went to get food and on multiple occasions I was boosting to 17.5psi.

Uhm? Yeah; I thought we were maxed at 15psi LMAO.

Where is your boost taking it's reading? Before or after the throttle body?

Yes that's the first thing I noticed was the turbos were significantly louder... love them gauges
