5 star tunes blew a turbo on my 11’ and made my 19 ranger throw wrench lights every time I gave it half throttle. I have a 2020 2.7 truck now and after thinking about it, all that dumb shit I did to those trucks with tunes it’s not worth it people. You fight the dealer tooth and nail bc yes they can tell if the truck was flashed they count the start ups it has. It’s not worth it for the small performance gain and stress in everything else. Enjoy your trucks and keep the warranty. Don’t believe the tuning companies when they say we’ll cover 40k worth of damage. They’re liars. They just want you to buy the cheap ass module that cost them 50$ to make in china and charge you 499$
Thats funny. A 2.7 Ecoboost will pull steeper grades in top gear at 60mph and never need a downshift while the Silverados and Rams downshift at a hint of grade. Clearly you are talking out your ass and know nothing about this little engine and how hard it has to work. This little engine propels my 4wd Supercrew with 215,xxx miles from zero to sixty in a dragy confirmed 3.98 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.46 on e50. 12.69 on e30 and a 12.95 on 91. Tows, hauls and has been to hell and back...twice.
@anthonyhales4192 lol no it wasn't a Jab, don't get emotional I'm just saying if it was for you, you'd understand. Fast trucks and making trucks fast isn't anything new or out of ordinary, there's countless race trucks and aftermarket performance options out there.
The only thing acceleration wise I have ever noticed is low rpm part throttle. The boost seems to come on earlier. Once rpms are up and you are at wide open throttle, theres no difference. Sport mode messes with things like holding gears long at cruising speed ready to jump, like in roll racing and does firmer downshifting. I never use it.
I answered because it appeared that you never received a response from the video poster. I watched a few of his videos claiming he was e85 tuned and upgraded turbos. His dragy run wasn't impressive. Something dont add up. I have a high mileage F150 2.7 Ecoboost Supercrew and can run what he ran almost with my stock tune put back in. And with wore out oem turbos ran a 12.46 on e50. It ran a 12.95 on 91 tune. A 1st gen 2.7 cant be tuned e85 without serious fueling upgrades, Xtreme di evo pump and high flow injectors. I am on e50 via a VMP boost a pump but will no longer be able to run e50 after I install my CRP turbos. We will see if it can still run e30 and upgraded turbos. If it will handle e30 we will see what it needs to get back to e50.I think it will run e50 if I do Xtreme di injectors.
@natesv04 lil2.7 has 226,500 miles as of today. I purchased the truck new in June 2016. Tows heavy at times, hauls heavy at times and goes wide open throttle fairly frequently. Spent first 100K stock, making 120bhp per liter. 325÷2.7=120. Its worth noting that 2.7s make 300-310 rear wheel horsepower stock, 325bhp is modest. At around 100K it got its first tune and progressed to e50 somewhere around 150K. With bolt ons and e50, it was probably making around 425whp for a 157whp per liter. I am saying this about the horsepower per liter as it represents the amount of strain compared to size. For instance, a 420bhp Silverado 6.2 makes 67bhp per liter, thats gentle. All that being said, here is what had to be fixed. At 168K the torque converter developed a shudder and was replaced. The fuel tank purge valve failed at around 190, this line is on top of the engine and was easy to replace but cost just sourh of a hundred bucks. The in tank fuel pump was replaced at 150k, not because it failed but because I was going ethanol and wanted a fresh pump to make sure I was supplying enough fuel and I was going to be running 18V to it with a boost a pump. I changed the coils at around 215K, again as a prevention of failure, the originals were still performing fine. I have done nothing to the engine, the timing assembly is the original. I upgraded the turbos at 225K, both originals were working fine. My back up camera quit working a long time ago. None of the problems I have had thus far are related to the fact that it has a 2.7. Hope this helps or maybe puts your mind at ease about the little engine.
