WHY AJP WHYYYYY. Now I'm starting to look at mods for the '15 Titanium I have again. Its a FWD model if you need another test bed ;)

Because I can’t help myself...and there Is full E85 in the tank right now

The amount of temptation is growing. You're an ASS you know that? It's ok though. We still love you.
 
This is my shoe...What's wrong with my shoes? Not like they are Alcoby's.....

But there was supposed to be an update but a couple weeks ago I was supposed to rent some dyno time for the fusion and to see how much power it was making but the shop told me that with the weather it would be hit or miss if they would schedule and wouldn't want me to bring the car on the dyno with all the crap that had been on the roads and a snowy wet car crapping up the dyno rollers. Well the weather was bad so it didn't happen...So somtime in the spring I will get on it.

I've been running full E85 and the car has no problem with it. I can run as much boost as I want but the car seems to like about 18-20 psi boost and I'm not sure if there is much of a point to run more...The E85 is allowing me to run about 14-20 degrees of spark depending on load and on 93 octane I would have to run about 8-12 degrees lower so the E85 is helping immensely.

I have a catless downpipe to install when the weather breaks....I ran 13.98 at 98 in the fall and that was just E30 and ALL stock so maybe on E85 and downpipe I can run mid 13's? And hoping for at least 260whp and 350wtq but we will see..
 
I went on a work trip but I ordered a bunch of parts from tasca for a spring project. New Motorcraft struts and shocks all the way around. Motorcraft strut mounts and strut bearings and still need to order steeda springs and some kind of sway bars....Need new summer tires so going with Summitomo 255/40/19 so that is the fattest rubber I can fit on the stock wheel so it should be nice and grippy.
 
Any fuel system changes needed to run the E85? could be fun to do a full E85 tune on my '15 FWD titanium if the car would take it without any other changes.

No changes at all if running the stock turbo...upgraded turbos could require fuel upgrades like in the sho
 
Went to the track last night and this is probably it for engine mods unless I decide to do a turbo. I was running full E85 which at my pump is actually about E70 and got my CP-E Catless downpipe on and go my steeda springs and all new shocks and struts and rear sway bar. Also installed my 255/40/19 tires on the stock wheels which is about as wide as I can fit on the 8" wide wheels.

Ran 13.77 at 99

I was hoping for at least 13.6 with the E85 and catless down pipe but for just a tune and drop in filter I think that's pretty good for a 2.0 ecoboost automatic AWD fusion it was in the 70's for temp though. I have it at about 20 psi in the midrange and boost tapers to about 15-16 at 6200rpm due to turbo size. I'm looking at a track calculator and it looks like DA was about 2500 at the time of my slip.


Next time I take vacation I plan on renting the local dyno to actually see the type of power and torque. I'm guessing 260-280whp and wildly guessing at 350wtq
 
Not to shabby!  I'd be more than content with a 13.7 second fusion!  I've driven my parents stock 2.0 and would be surprised if it could squeak out 15.250's!

How did that 3000GT behind you run?

I think like mid 13’s but it was a beat up car lol..yeah 13.77 is great considering that’s what mustang gt and gto and supras ran not too long ago...and I have a trunk and decent back seat with awd that goes well in snow
 
Tuned vs. Stock

Finally had a chance to put my Fusion on the dyno last week. I rented the dyno again at PRL motorsports in Export, Pa.
I did a few pulls and tried to simulate a stock pull as best I could considering my mods and fuel(E85). I think I expected a little higher on the tuned pulls but I haven't seen many dynos on AWD 2.0 fusions. I thought they would be closer Focus ST's but considering they are manual transmissions and only FWD I guess that could explain the differences. But I did run a pretty good 1/4 mile time in June so I guess I'm where I should be.


The tune at about 21 psi in the midrange and tapering down to about 15 psi at redline due to turbo size put down 240whp/315wtq
I was running full E85 which at my pump seems to be about E70 based on my fuel trims. I also have catless downpipes. SO for a stock pull I ran stock boost and only scaled for the E70 and I locked the knock sensors so they could NOT add spark during the pull so the spark came from the stock tables without adding from knock sensors. That was the best way I could think to simulate a stock pull with E70 in the tank.


The stock pull was 194wph/246wtq the stock crank numbers are 240hp/270tq so I guess that would be around a 20% loss if you perscribe to that.

I did see one video of a stage 3 fusion which included a turbo upgrade and it made 40 more HP than mine but about 30ft lbs less than mine so I'm pretty happy that my tune was in that ball park but only on E85/downpipe/tune.


Satisfied with the torque numbers.

Anything new?  Still running full E85?

Not much new. Still running full E85 which at my pump seemed to max out to about 70% which is plenty to give more than enough spark.

It's been a little while but I never did get to make it to the track after I tweaked the tune a bit so maybe early spring I can try again and see if I can knock off a 13.6 or so.

I have been running a dialing in a FFV tune. It has moderate gains but not to the extent the E85 tune does. But I didn't really set it up for max power, more so for the capability to be able to throw pump gas in it if I couldn't get E85
