that's a loaded question because in reality it depends on so many factors that no two answers are the same, it will heavily depend on which dealer you use, some are mod friendly and others take the corporate route of denying any claims if there is any sort of aftermarket tinkering.Would tuning the engine void your warranty?
Thanks for that feedback...makes a lot of sense.that's a loaded question because in reality it depends on so many factors that no two answers are the same, it will heavily depend on which dealer you use, some are mod friendly and others take the corporate route of denying any claims if there is any sort of aftermarket tinkering.
Anyways yes it CAN void the warranty of anything related to the tune(Engine,turbo,ECM,injector,fuel pump) all they have to say is the tune made XYZ part work beyong its intended parameter and which point is your word against them and lawyers need to get involved which is usually where the little guy(us) loose.
Technically they are supposed to prove that the aftermarket modification is the cause of the damage but normally the way that goes is a tech writing a report saying that in their opinion backed by XYZ years of service this part is the likely cause of failure at that point you have to prepare for a world of hurt.
This is why the best cause of action is always to feel out your dealer service tech because that is what will determine how annoying or pleasurable owning that vehicle will be.
Any vehicle that I plan to mod I normally assume that will have no warranty and go from there.
BTW MODs do not affect recalls, regardless of what you do if there is a recall they will absolutely do it free of charge.
Dyno HP is measured at the wheels, factory HP is measured at the crank..The 4cyl makes less than 200hp factory? Those baseline numbers look more like the 3cyl
Yeah, the before numbers were better in the first vid. Within 10whp of the tuned the after vid. They lowered the "before" numbers drastically, from 208whp to 170whp. They don't say there was a tire change which would make a difference, just lights and lift.Correct me if im wrong, wasn't the original, prelifted max 200whp? Guess tires and lift ate some of the initial power??
That would make sense, ty JerryYeah, the before numbers were better in the first vid. Within 10whp of the tuned the after vid. They lowered the "before" numbers drastically, from 208whp to 170whp. They don't say there was a tire change which would make a difference, just lights and lift.
Edit: looking at the graph, it might be that in the first video they quoted early tuned numbers instead of the baseline numbers. That makes more sense as the 290lb/ft of torque at the wheels in the first vid is over the Ford spec for torque at the flywheel.
