Effectiveness of Fuel Pump Voltage Booster (Boost-A-Pump)
It worked for me. The stock pump in my Flex (sold in 17) was operating at up to around 10 volts and varied based on need since there is no return line like most GM vehicles. The Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump increases voltage up to 50% and has a knob to adjust that. In the Flex, the LPFP relay is...- EcoBrick Bob

can this rim possibly be able to fit a GEN 1 SHO
Any hub adapter has to clear your existing lugs. From my experiences with various cars/SUV's they likely need to be at least an inch thick or most likely 1 1/2 inch. That means that any wheel you were mounting would stick out that much further. 120 MM bolt pattern is from a BMW and some late...- EcoBrick Bob

2020 Explorer ST VS TrackHawk
I have a 2020 ST. It's faster than my 17' Explorer Sport. Not as fast as the modded Flex........ Because I lease, I can't tune, but I did change out the stock 20" wheels and tires. The 20" wheel and tire package weigh 74 lbs each!!! By going to 18" TSW Interlagos that I had on my TT Flex...- EcoBrick Bob

Nervous about Downpipe / Intercooler Upgrades
I had PPE Downpipes on my Ford Flex as well as a 3 bar sensor, 10gpm methanol spray nozzle and a Torrie tune. I did not have any drivability issues nor did I get codes from downpipes for the first 30K I had them on. Once they coded Torrie just turned off the code in the tune. Any flashing of...- EcoBrick Bob

Down pipes
I had a set of PPE Downpipes (Paul Prentiss Engineering - Phoenix) on my Ford Flex TT from 2011 thru 2017 when I sold it. They did not set codes for the first 30K+ miles and finally coded to which I had code turned off. They definitely increased performance as I was the first Flex to get into...- EcoBrick Bob

New 2014 pp!!!!!!! What tune?
#1. I have never "bashed" you. Go read all of my posts on all of the EB sites over the past 4 years. I have always been positive towards Livernois. I only posted what I did on this site because of all of the recent Livernois issues that have been reported. I strongly resent you claiming...- EcoBrick Bob

New 2014 pp!!!!!!! What tune?
' This is incorrect. Torrie absolutely does NOT condone the use of E 85 due to the large increase in fuel needed as well as the inconsistency of the Ethanol percentage ( not always 85%). Torrie was likely the first one who was experimenting with W/M systems and tunes with the EB platform. I...- EcoBrick Bob

New 2014 pp!!!!!!! What tune?
THIS IS WHAT First SHO (Mike) posted on EBPF on 12-2-13 If he paid $40,000. for his SHO back in 2011, He claims at least $35,000. in mods. MOST of these mods including: Tires, Wheels, Suspension mods, plus all the engine mods all are performance related. I am a bit surprised and dumbfounded...- EcoBrick Bob

New 2014 pp!!!!!!! What tune?
A week or so, I contacted Torrie about posts that claimed you needed to data log and work with Torrie to get the most out of his tunes. As I had stated in response to those posts, it isn't necessary, but is always an option. Torrie's first reply in summary was his typical... "I'm not...- EcoBrick Bob

Pix of my Hot Pipes!
The little K & N's are breathers. Instead of venting the oil gasses into the intake, they vent into the air and oil is captured in the breather filter(s). The one that is mounted in the Oil filler cap has a second filter on the other side. Hot pipe install took about 3 hrs, including all the...- EcoBrick Bob

New 2014 pp!!!!!!! What tune?
I strongly disagree... Check the EBPF and all the people recently who have had serious issues with their Livernois tunes in their 2013 & 2014 SHO's. Not only are Livernois programmers and tunes more expensive than any SCT tuner tunes, but they can't be data logged if a problem occurs, or if...- EcoBrick Bob

New Hot Pipes and "Duck Dynasty" BOV!
I want to clarify that PPE sent my Catted Down Pipes to me in Clear Lake, IA, early last summer. I purchased them directly from PPE. PPE also sent my Hot Pipes to me in early December, to my Naples, FL address, about a month after they were ordered. I purchased the Hot Pipes from Mike and paid...- EcoBrick Bob

Unleashed Tuner Ordered!
I'm sure all large cities have one or more. Check on line with Dynojet or Mustang. Know there is one in Phoenix near airport ( saw it personally- but not sure who owns it). It's one that was made in Australia and was used by 4DRHTRD to dyno and tune his Flex, and now CTS-V.- EcoBrick Bob

Unleashed Tuner Ordered!
You don't have to data log and tweak your Torrie-Unleashed tune. I have been working with Torrie for 4 years. The highest performance(canned) tune he sends you - needs 93 fuel- runs great. Yes you can have him tweak it. While I was his test mule for his W/M system, and have data logged...- EcoBrick Bob

One issue needs to be cleared up once and for all... YOU DO NOT NEED TO DATA LOG TO USE TORRIE'S TUNES... Because Torrie offers extra-ordinary service he will tweak your tune package for mods, for better fuel mileage, octane offerings in your area, etc, if you send him data logs.
