  • Being tuned by the one and only ZFG racing In this video, I'm going to go over how to tune your Explorer using the TDN app from HP tuners.
    I know this is a little bit of a boring video but it was made in hopes that this would help take some workload off of Adam.
    This should answer most if not all answers in how to tune You're explorer ST. if you have any questions, feel more than free to reach out to me and I'll help point you in the right direction.
    In the video I use an MPVI 2. Plus now they have released an MPVI 3. here's the link. You can buy the device from lethal performance with the four credits needed. So then all would you have to do is buy the tune 💪

    I'm totally new to all this tuning, and you really helped explain it all. Thanks! I just got a 22 ST, and I'm considering doing the same. But how do you keep from letting the Ford dealer know about changes and voiding your warranty? Is there a "tune reset" that erases the mods from the log so they can't say, "You broke this or that," and then void the warranty? GREAT VIDEO!

      Hey man first off I appreciate the awesome feed back and love that I could help you out 😁
      And there really isn’t a way for you to hide they look at key cycles because every time you upload a tune it restarts the number of key cycles. So they can see if you have 20k miles and only turned the car let’s say 5 times lol they know you probably were driving far every time you turned the car on. Really you have to find a dealer that doesn’t mind you modding it’s different dealer to dealer. The ford dealer near me follows me on TikTok and UA-cam and even wished me luck getting into the 11s which I did 🤣

      If your worries about your warranty get the ford performance tune. It won’t be as good as an after market tune but you will maintain a 3 year warranty, from purchase date of your car.

    Right on! You’re video encouraged me to get the tune for my stock 20 ST. How many revisions did you need to upload just for stock set up? Just sent my 1st data log for 2500-6000 and waiting. Do you know what Adam means when he says DMS will be turned on with rev01? DMS is what exactly?

    • @HoustonSpeedFreaks
      @HoustonSpeedFreaks  10 місяців тому

      I’m so glad my videos could encourage you to do that 😁 Took 3 revisions if you selected DMS tune that stands for (drive mode select) when you were buying the tune you got to select what you want for each drive mode. So every turn of the mode select dial you change the tune.

    I have a 2021 ST and your ch gives me some ideas about what I'd like to do with mine. I'd like to find out just how much tire you can fit under an ST without any issues. the 285's are good but physics is a thing, and more contact patch is a good thing so long as there are no real tradeoffs. hope you get to dyno what all your changes add up to.

    • @HoustonSpeedFreaks
      @HoustonSpeedFreaks  Рік тому +1

      Appreciate it man! if you have any questions just let me know 😁 I forget I think it's 315 is the biggest but I could be wrong I know you'll start hitting the shock at a certain point. I've seen people run 295s on the stock 21s.

      Just make the tuner aware of what your running for fuel and it should be no issues at all.

    Adding huge intercooler with the HP tuner should bring big smile to your face - drop 2 secs off 0-60. Get a Dragy. 👍

    Good long video but wanna cut to chase, how much HP can you get out of this? I kno you got two tunes 93 and e50 how much ho did you get from each more less?

    • @HoustonSpeedFreaks
      @HoustonSpeedFreaks  Рік тому +1

      So 93 expect roughly 70whp gains and e50 expect roughly 100whp gains
      Explorer makes 400hp to the crank from the factory……to the wheels stock they make roughly 350whp. So do the math….now again that’s a rough estimate. In all honestly both tunes are %100 worth it
