Re: "Tuning" the engine?

Of course, I was just curious if, with everyone's knowledge of tuning, it would be possible to get the Mazda engine tuned to work. It appears unlikely given the absence of a response. There was a limitless amount of tuning available when VW/VAG released their 5-valve 1.8T engine with a strong bottom ...

Re: "Tuning" the engine?

It would appear that there is no mechanical equipment limitation limiting the higher output tune, so the question is whether anyone has ported the 340HP "S" capability to the non-"S" version.

Re: "Tuning" the engine?

Unfortunately, I don't remember where I read it; it was probably on the internet, but I can't remember if it was this forum or another. Several posts now suggest that it might be connected to the increase in towing capacity from 3.5K to 5K in relation to the air/water intercooler.

"Tuning" the engine?

After doing some research, I've determined that while both the Turbo and the Turbo S share the same engine and turbo, the "S" model differs with a bigger intercooler and updated ECU software. Does anyone know of a way to convert the "S" code for an engine that doesn't use the "S" extension?

Locating the appropriate suspension component

I am seeking a front control arm for my 2010 Ford Mondeo MK4, and Autodoc presents multiple alternatives, including Ridex. The part numbers appear to correspond, yet I am uncertain about the dependability of the less expensive aftermarket alternatives. Has anyone installed Ridex suspension ...
