Yes I said 37,000 lbs Even though I meant 3700lbs. This is what happens when you lack sleep. Thanks for the comments and support.❤ 🙏🏾
FYI THE 3l twin turbo MKZ STOCK HAS 400HP AND 400 TORQUE THE 2L TURBO HAS 240HP AND 278 TORQUE the 3.7L V6 has 305 HP and 278 TORQUE
Love my 2018 mkz 3.0 awd reserve. It has the luxury option too. The slund is fantastic.
Awesome
Great video. Welcome to YT. One mod you could add and brings a ton of power gains for 600 is the Livernois tune. Claims of 50hp gains to the wheels! I considered it but didn’t go with it for concerns with warranty.
Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏾. Livernois does well with their tunes but I do understand your warranty concerns. Do you have a 2.0T or 3.0T?
@@ModstarzOfficial 3.0T
@@AvgJoeWatchReviews you are going to have a lot of fun with your car. Like any vehicle keep up the maintenance and it will take care of you.
MKZ 3.0TT can be FWD, they cut power to 350 but keeps 400 TQ, i have the AWD 3.0TT 2017
That is awesome! I had no idea. How long have you had the MKZ?
You can't add larger turbos because there isn't enough room all you need is a new tune the Reaerve II comes with all the toys if you want performance get the 3L V6 If you want a little better oh nevermind don't waste your money on that dinky 2L that must be ,ept in sport to keep the turbo spooled up and that just sucks gas. The 3L V6 if you keep your foot out of it she gets 19 city and almost 30 on the hwy
My MRAPin Afghanistan didn’t even weigh 37,000lbs. That’s one massive car.
😂 whoops
That’s what I said.37,000 pounds lol
I have the 2017 2.7 v6 twin turbo awd fusion sport and I absolutely love it makes 325hp and 380tq so it’s a hell of a ride
That sounds like a fun time
37,000 pounds?!
Dude you should get your numbers right
3400
Forget the numbers I need to get my brain right. Thanks for pointing that out.
I have a 2017 MKZ 3.0TT I never really see any mod videos on UA-cam thanks for the tips
🙏🏾 Thank you for watching/ listening. I hope it helps. If you consider doing anything to your Lincoln, feel free to share with us. 🤙🏾👍🏾
I jus got a 2017 mkz reserve 3.0t fwd. So they did make em
💯
I've seen multiple places that k&N filters on the 3.0TT will ruin the turbos. K&N was the first thing i thought of and then saw all over that the regular paper filter allows more than enough air in and it will burn out your turbos.? Any thoughts? I have a Lincoln MKZ V6 3.0TT and its fun stock but anything will help. Good info otherwise. Unfortunately I have a Lincoln warranty up for 150k miles so I'm hesitant to do much. I have 70k now. Any advice is appreciated.
First and foremost , WELCOME! And I myself have not heard anything about the filters doing so but I do understand taking care of your vehicle and you want to have a little fun too. I believe Steeda has the performance green filter on their site as well. I myself would not want you to void your warranty in anyway , so forever and always please take care of your care and save money where you can.
I would start with learning more about your cars characteristics. Does it give a better response in comfort than sport mode for example, when do the turbos start to spool? when are they at full boost. Where is the power at in each gear if you can manually select which gear you are in? The list goes on. If you have a 1/4 mile or 1/8 mile track near you I would spend some time there as well even if you do not run your car there. You will gain a lot of perspective on what is fast, reliable, consistent and which cars are not including their drivers. If you were interested in a potential alternative to the K&N filter here is an option below. And to be clear Steeda or any company does not pay me in anyway to share this information with you. If or when something like that happens I will let everyone know. Let me know if you have anymore questions and keep me updated. I hope this has helped you.

So-called "non serviceable" PTU can be a problem.
Good point. I am glad there a lot of people that drill and tap a drain plug into the PTU so it can be serviced. Apparently it does not even have to be removed in order to add a drain plug as long as you have a way to lift the vehicle. This is definitely something to make a video about.🙏
My 2015 lincoln MKs is front wheel drive. Same as a Taurus. Not all wheel drive.
So you have the 2.0T? there's nothing wrong with that. A lot of the upgrades I mention in this video are for those as well. The Taurus SHO is the AWD Twin turbo and Lincoln has a variation as well. I do apologize for any confusion.
@@ModstarzOfficial no, it's the 3.7 police interceptor. Fairly quick. Good motor
@@gdrew4171 Very cool ! I cannot say I have seen one of these and If I have, I did not know they existed. They started making these in 2013 right?
The MKZ shown in this video is an AWD 3.O ECOBOOST OR TWIN TURBO it has the Drivers package the dead giveaway is the black grill and the wheel. This car also has FULL LED ADAPTIVE HEADLIGHTS they turn with the wheel up to 5° maybe 10° it also has auto highbeam
Looking for Lincoln Continental 3.0 mods

Lincoln Continental 3.0T Mod List
Livernois Motorsports Tuner
Ultimate performance Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC)
Ultimate performance catted downpipes
J&L Passenger Side oil separator
K&N drop in filter
Boomba Blow Off valve adapter
cp-e xFlex V6 Rear Motor Mount
Note: The 3.0 ecoboost is the same as the Bronco Raptor and Ranger Raptor. However, I do not know if their more affordable aftermarket downpipes will fit due to being on a different chassis. The same concern applies to cold air intakes as well.
This was a great video. I have a Lincoln MKZ 2018 3.0T and I was thinking about mods and you open my eyes to a lot of different ideas? Thanks!
Thank you for the feedback! I rarely see mkz 3.0T or the even less than seeing a Taurus SHO. Let me know if you have any questions and keep me updated on your journey for what you decide to do. Just makes sure the 1st step is making /keeping the vehicle reliable regardless of what stage of upgrades you are in. Also as @Daymomgartrell4809 mentioned the so called “non serviceable” PTU could be an issue as they fluid in them are supposed to last the life of the vehicle and Ford sealed them so what people end up doing is tapping a hole into it to add a drain plug to performance routine fluid exchanges or use a bleed line system to do the same thing. I will make a video on this in the near future but there are videos on UA-cam showing how to do this on Lincoln and Ford vehicles.
@@ModstarzOfficial thanks for the info.
@@AnthonyTuff any time
Wow YOU SAY they can weigh over 37,000 THOUSAND POUNDS that's more than 3 time's the weight of T-REX the DINOSAUR Holy Cats!!!🤣
Hahah yea I didn’t notice the weight gain until you mentioned it 😂
power to weight ratio...just sucks big time with that much weight
@@randellgribben9772 lol yes tank weight
heres a hint i tell all my classic italain car customers..on air filters... get one of those boy racer filters... hold it up to the sun, or a bright light.. do you notice that you can see right thru them? now do you want that on your car? paper filters are the best.. they dont cost much,, they keep the engine clean.. and they DO NOT ROB HP.... or buy a boy racer air filter..i will be than happy to take a lot of money from you,, when i rebuild your engine.. and the 2013/2014 2.0 engine that are built in spain are great engines.. look for the vel sticker on the chain side of the valve cover.. diff block and head from the cleveland..usa engines.. the vel engines also went into some volvos and land rovers...
and adding a stainless steel ( stainless steel wont conduct heat as well as reg. steel ) below the turbo and above the steering rack motor will make it last a lot longer,,, want to have some fun?? get a sheet titanium and make a little bit larger copy of the oem heat sheild.. titanium.. will not contuct radient heat from the turbo to the steering box motor
Another problem with that throttle controller the car already has that built in. There are 3 drive modes - Comfort, Normal and sport you can also adjust the suspension which this video is missing about those shocks the main car he shows in the MKZ the rear are 1500 a pair because of the adaptive suspension.
Thanks for sharing this information. Have you had personal experience with these issues? If so, did you have to go through the dealership or were there any aftermarket solutions?
Also, Thank you for all of your comments on this video. It seems you are really passionate about this model of car👍🏾
@@ModstarzOfficial I wouldn't have a Facebook group dedicated to lovers of a model that they tossed away here to be built by America's enemy China
@@ModstarzOfficial I only service it at the dealer because I was smart and bought an extended warranty - oh $100 for 2 new rear shocks OK. Most Lincoln warranties don't cover the rear shocks
@@mkzenthusiasts Good thing you got the extended warranty. I didn’t know the rear shocks were not covered.
2017 and up have issues with the coolant. It can leak into the cylinders. Fix is a long block replacement. I have a 2013 mkx 2.0t and it doesn't have that issue but the later model 2.0t engines do.
Good to know. How long have you had the MKX for?
@@ModstarzOfficial Hey there. It's supposed to be MKZ. Inaccide tally hit X. Oops. I've had my car about a month now.
@@bciecko1 no worries I understood what you meant. Just a month!?! Congratulations!
2013/ 2014 2.0 eninges from spain do not have the coolent issues... look for the vel decal on the chain side of the valve cover.. the vel engine have diff. blocks and heads... i have taken aprt both engines,, to note this
Did you make another part of the MKZ video?
Not yet , what would you like me to include other than the PTU?
Do you recommend I return the 2.0t i just got for something else I’m not hearing to much good about them?
When I worked at a dealership a few years back I saw a few in the shop but it was never a large amount at any given time. Most were there for routine maintenance in addition to say a recall repair. Only a handful where in for major things it was and it was mostly due to the owners neglecting their vehicle. However, did you get a pre purchase inspection or after you purchased the vehicle did you take it in to assess repair or routine maintenance that needs to be done?
@@ModstarzOfficial I did get all those things they are fixing a strut leak as well for me lo miles on it and I’m only looking to do some small things to It
@@tylerpelley6803 Awesome you have done more than 90% of us when purchasing a vehicle. When you say small things, are you referring to things like a tune, lowering springs and wheels to have a more sporty daily driver?
You can find a 3L TT IN FWD it's just rare - I personally wouldn't own a 2 liter turbo they have to many issues in a stock position if you're going to increase the boost good luck. FORD TECH MUKALOCO channel has seen to many 2 liter, 2.3, 2.7 all turbos are junk he repairs A LOT OF THEM with higher miles just over the MKZ or Fusion once the factory warranty is up. PTUs have issues. I Took my MKZ in for a 30k mile PTU drain and fill and my PTU was cracked in 3 places still under its CPO warranty i then immediately upgraded the warranty for 2800 doesn't expire until 2027 this is the list of parts after the PTU - Idler Pulley $450, APIM $800, Rear backup camera $800, ventilated seats $850, rear shocks $1500 so that 200 dollar shocks aren't the adaptive suspension. $4,400 in parts all covered under my Lincoln Premium Care ESP. I MUST STATE THAT THOSE REPAIRS WERE ALL DONE WITHIN AN 8,000 MILE PERIOD. So, if I didn't purchase that warranty let's put it this way up a creek without a paddle. I love the car I change the oil every 6 month or once it reaches 50% life remaining I'm almost at the 10,000 mile mark with the.. I had the rear differential drained and filled with the new PTU dealer tried to say its not recommended I didn't care what they said glad I did it 20,000 miles early that gear oil had already begun to oxidize. So I will be doing preventative maintenance on the PTU EVERY 10K MILES AND THE RDU every 20k miles. I still haven't figured out how early I should do a coolant flush yet. It's a 2016 3.7L V6 AWD with 38, 150 miles. NOW THE 3L TT is built well, I have a guy in my facebook group that has 500 HP to the WHEELS he drag races it and he's beat chargers with the V8 Hemi and some other V8 hemi. I personally wouldn't buy anything older than a 2018 MKZ because the 2017 has a 3g embedded modem and that band has been shut down the 2018 has the 4g modem. I UPGRADED MY 16 Z TO 4G. The perfect car for a sleeper would be a 2018 or 2019 with the drivers package and technology package that will give out auto hold, collision avoidance, adaptive cruise and also make sure the headlights are full LED some came with half LED and HID you'll want an extended warranty because there are $5,000 in adaptive headlights and DRLs - I hope this helps
Should I exchange my 2.0 while I can I drove nice but mind you I’m coming out of a Cruze
Hi, can you help me find black grill like yours?
Hey @sw1samir the car in the thumbnail is not mine but I did find a grill that you might like on ebay . The first link is for the Lincoln MKZ and the others are for the ford fusion if you or anyone you know is interested. www.ebay.com/itm/285602106794?hash=item427f364daa%3Ag%3AavMAAOSwqRxliid7&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4LymydlkEGtpo8c0Grp5S%2BwOCh74sevBdwcw8hxILHDzAjdQa0660CwdOoiPUeivhOKu2T3CW40GJYLMPP610MIqOrVIpxtSTnKK3Vy7gPnknxaY7Bm2UYDNHLDqJUJ%2Fgtw6KjIQOVRLVrkLCnFTEdAMKKgRI%2FrxRSeg02p3%2B5WUeE1lQZbOzf6ITn90rUgyEZ4FYg9Rhw7vJ%2BV3L70kv5M%2Bc98m%2Boqa2ihrSJw5FmbMtrt0pVMBfcNNrBoHRLX8ChMqgb84vkEvdAzHqBU7Q2Cwfbt8sPw7Pq5cATu0OlWT%7Ctkp%3ABFBMsLPDrq1j&fits=Year%3A2017%7CModel%3AMKZ%7CMake%3ALincoln

Are there any guide videos out there someone can point me to, I'd rather have an example than go in blind, I'm trying to do the upgrades myself
Which motor ?
@@ModstarzOfficial The 3.0t
@@Mr.shadow08 I couldn’t find anything but a bov install.
@@ModstarzOfficial darn well I appreciate ur help
@@Mr.shadow08 I did however find videos on f150s that have the ecoboost. Thing like intake installs and other basic botlons. I do understand layout and space are an issue, but I was thinking at least the basic bolt on stuff could help you out.
The pedalmax is for throttle response and the boostmax is to turn up the boost without flashing the ECU, idk how reliable these are though.
Same
Wouldn't bother, a proper tune is the best choice. Steeds, livernois etc.
@@nicholasmiller8508 Agreed, but I wouldn't choose Steeda. I heard from people that they are crap tunes. I went with Unleashed Tuning and highly recommend Torrie.
@@iguardwisconsinberry8830 will keep that in mind. Crap as in low power, of unreliable
@@nicholasmiller8508 I believe the boost cuts off too early in the RPM. It's been a minute since I've looked at the dyno graph and power numbers
So If I was listening right this isn't for 2017 or higher?
I believe it will still work as long as the motors are the same (which they should be) . What mods did you have in mind if not all that were mentioned ?And thank you for listening 🙏🏾
The JMS boost max. Wouldn’t you have to have your car tuned after putting it on?
@@jamesmarshal9860 No it does not but like @iguardwisconsinberry8830 commented , we are not sure how reliable it is. Steeda's website has at least 2 reviews I can find on the product and the two people had different experiences after install. The one that went well because they installed it properly , while the other customer's experience might be in correlation to how "tricky" they stated it was to install. With that being said you can either contact Steeda or JMS Chip & Performance to get more information. Or , you could invest in SCT, unleashed Custome tuning, or Livernois tune which may cost more but you get what you your moneys worth. With that being said, do you have a v6 turbo or I4 1.5 turbo or 2.0 turbo?
@@ModstarzOfficial I have a 2.0T but I’d rather get a tuner than invest in something that may damage my car.
@@jamesmarshal9860 livernois MyCalibrator tune maybe your best option. I’m not sure where you are located but I looked into the Cali air resources board database and it shows the tuner is 50 state legal.
did he say 37,000 pounds?
If you would be careful with your figures you might have valuable information
@ 1:14 into the video…. These cars weigh no where near 30,000 lbs!!! That’s ridiculous. I don’t know where he got these numbers but it’s insane to even consider putting this into your video.
🤦🏾♂️ 😂 lol sorry brain scrambled but I do appreciate that you took the time to listen. 🙏🏾
