TFL and 5 Star Tuning saying should be able to get 500+ HP out of the Bronco 2.7L

[xXChartmanXx]

The first half of this vide they are tuning a 2.7L F150 with an upgraded inter cooler, exhaust, cold air, intake, E50 and a tune and hitting 530hp.

It also has upgraded turbos and methanol injection.

You can get 500 out of a 4cyl if you want to, look at all the Sti, Evo and even DSM back in the day. How much do you have and reliability, willing to give up?

Wonder if anyone has experienced if 5star's extended warranty is worth it and has covered issues.

500hp sounds fun

With a tune alone, I'd bet that 375HP is easily achievable. Fusion Sport (2.7TT) wakes up nicely with a tune only, I can't see why the Bronco wouldn't realize similar benefits.

Off topic, but kinda related - I hope the Warthog is equipped with the newer 3.0TT. That motor starts at 400Hp in other platforms.

Agreed!!!! Always need more power...

Didn't Ford already say that the ECU's are going to be even more locked down and harder to tune third-party?

And? It'll get cracked eventually

I hope so. I know quite a few tuners from the FoST/FiST community still, and a lot of them are hard passing on all the new EcoBoost platforms because of it. I hope COBB or someone else out there figures it out, though.

Its bound to happen

Don't misconstrue me when I say these are Fords, not Ferrari's xD

And to think, had history turned out differently, Ferraris very well may have been Fords.

And Ken Miles would of lived

It also has upgraded turbos and methanol injection.

Anybody aware of a downside other than increased cost of running a water / methanol injection system on a 2.7 EB?

I'm interested in the FiveStar tuning and just trying to understand the implications of adding the water/meth injection and can't see anything other than lower intake temperature and higher octane.

And I don't believe the turbos in the video are upgraded. It had a cold air intake / high flow filter and an aftermarket intercooler. But from what i got from the video the turbos are the stock units. Edit: Turbos are CRP Stage 2

Likely a high-flow cat downpipe as well.

At 2:01 mark they state the turbos are CRP stage 2 units.
