  1. Glad i could help, 2016-2018 are all the same (from my knowledge), stay away from 2015 as they had fwd and sync 2 (nightmare system). If you follow @snmjim (my father) and myself we are constantly pushing the platform and trying to do bigger and better things, for example we just released downpipes. Also it doesn't take much to really make the edge stick to the road, shes pretty wide to start with. just slap some H&R springs and the addco rear swaybar it will feel short of a car. Then add wheels and tires and she sticks like glue!
  2. Welcome bud! tell us about your edge!
  3. need a few more pictures from different angles and backed off. maybe able to help ya....or go to your local ford parts department, talk to the buy behind the desk and show him the pics.
  4. Just reread you OP, i would steer clear of a pedal commander or sprintbox, that's a quick way to bypass a safety system (the ECM's control of the throttle body). if you want better response, be safe and get a tune
  5. welcome to the fam and that color is sexy!
  6. RS, is not just about straight line..... it also has to turn. With our Edge as it sits now, out does my e90 m-sport 335D with m3 suspension and 265's in all 4 corners and some how out stops the BMW too. My friends C5 vette with summer rubber struggles to shake the Oompa lol Straight line performance is TBD right now ;-) working with a new tuner.
  7. I have noticed that the trans shifts faster and firmer when it is below operating temperature, wonder if there is ref table for below temp threshold or if its just a adjustment ratio value.....
  8. My father and i always get nailed in VA for tint, its so annoying. We run "matched" to stock rear windows and they just wont leave us alone........ even though we are out of state tags too
  9. Got a better recommendation for you...just delete the center resonator. No drone, a little extra bite, no CEL, and about 150 bucks at any exhaust shop
  10. Good morning Eli, Depends on what you're trying to do. If you want a better performing SUV with a larger aftermarket parts support get the 18' sport. The ST is slower stock than the Sport, its only advantage is braking capability with the performance brake package and handling primarily due to summer tires. Good luck with your purchase and no matter which one you choose, welcome to the family!
  11. @snmjimhas a nice set of 20's forsale if you're still looking.
  12. She did good in 1.5 feet of snow with all seasons and does great in grass. This summer i wanna test hard packed sand ?
  13. That will be me next car if they make an awd wagon with a big v8 up front..... and hello 2.7L whipple
  14. Purpose of this thread is to have a central location of all the info we can find on tuning the 6 speed sport transmission and ptu for shifting efficiency using HP Tuners. I was originally keeping this behind closed doors, but that's not what @snmjim and I are about, also we have more power in numbers and i know we have some folks here that are amazing at research. Lets start with general rules here: This is for us to learn and work together We are only posting about trans and ptu settings that can be accessed with HP Tuners. When posting about a specific setting please provide an accurate path to said setting so we all can find it and navigate to it and a brief description of what the effect was. Please also explain what you changed the table/ value to I will do my best to keep the OP updated with all findings. Now on to the fun. After pushing the platform fairly far and reading enough logs that would make the average man go cross eyed, i think the trans is a large limiting factor in our platform. I seeing similar patterns that i see in "Stock" tuned ZF platforms which are VERY easy to tune and turn quick results with their direct logic base. With my BMW 6speed ZF and some fine tuning the community was able to lower 1/4mile time by over 3 tenths on average, same day, mostly same DA. Now heres the crazy part, watching the Edge's log from 0-100 watch how LOOOOOOOOOng the shifts take, they rpm graph is very smooth and gear shifts take their time along with TCC lockup being inconsistent and you can feel it dragging out holding the car back. On that note, with some very limited reading and using knowledge from other platforms i have been able to take the Edges average shift time (time from TCC desired slip leaves 0 till next gear is selected and TCC hits desired slip again) at WOT from .72 sec to .47 sec, i have included images of the difference. Refer to the red RPM line for shift reference. Current Edits: Trans: For those of us running back roads this will let you down shift earlier and use the engine to slow you down, currently experimenting with advancing spark on decal to have a more aggressive hold Trans -> shift schedule -> Downshift Prevention → Select shift 1-34 2-56 3-70 4-102 5-145 Boost TCC pressure for slightly firmer shifts TCC Boost Pressure Trans -> Torque Converter -> TCC Pressure Boost pressure 95 lowers allowable slip after an upshift Min Slip Upshift Trans -> Torque Converter -> Min Slip Upshift Negative 40 Positive 10 lowers allowable slip after a down shift Min Slip Downshift Trans -> Torque Converter -> Min Slip Downshift Negative 0 Positive 5 Directly controls desired slip per shift TCC Slip By Gear Trans -> Torque Converter -> TCC Open Slip 1st - 20 20 20 20 20 5 5 5 20 20 20 20 20 5 5 5 20 20 20 20 20 5 5 5 20 20 20 20 20 5 5 5 20 20 20 20 20 5 5 5 20 20 20 20 20 5 5 5 7 7 7 7 7 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 0 0 0 2nd - 20 20 20 20 20 10 5 0 20 20 20 20 20 10 5 0 20 20 20 20 20 10 5 0 20 20 20 20 20 10 5 0 20 20 20 20 20 10 5 0 20 20 20 20 20 10 5 0 20 20 20 20 20 10 5 0 2 2 2 2 2 0 0 0 3 - 20 20 20 20 20 0 0 0 20 20 20 20 20 0 0 0 20 20 20 20 20 0 0 0 20 20 20 20 20 0 0 0 20 20 20 20 20 0 0 0 20 20 20 20 20 0 0 0 20 20 20 20 20 0 0 0 2 2 2 2 2 0 0 0 4 - 40 40 40 40 40 0 0 0 20 20 20 20 20 0 0 0 20 20 20 20 20 0 0 0 20 20 20 20 20 0 0 0 20 20 20 20 20 0 0 0 20 20 20 20 20 0 0 0 20 20 20 20 20 0 0 0 2 2 2 2 2 0 0 0 5 - N/A 6 - N/A This determines how much time the TCC takes to initiate and execute requested gear Trans ->Torque Converter -> apply/release -> TCC apply Delay ->vs. Shift vs. Gear High Throttle - .25 Need include what I changed here, i forget.

  15. hey bud, with our turbos we saw a 5+lb/min flow increase on the logs with the downpipes with the cutout open/ vs closed and going through the stock suitcase muffler, could only imagine what the stock cats were causing restriction wise. We are currently maxing out at 54lb/min. we are trying to talk to a neighbor who has a completely stock edge sport to take a log to compare.
  16. Please reference the downpipe thread here: https://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/25970-downpipes-2016-edge-sport/?tab=comments#comment-193617
  17. We have been running ours for over a year now, just readjusted the position lockers this weekend and re-greased the bushings. everything seems to be in tip top shape on production number #00000000 so the swaybar and the bushings!
  18. Please read the thread, all info is literally right here....about 10 posts above your question:
  19. BTW the page still isn't letting me update folks. please be patient. Thanks!
  20. Good morning, this thread isn't really for questions, more of a central info location. however to answer your question, dry filter elements are usually preferred. Breaths extra crankcase pressure and helps the longevity of engine gaskets/ seals
  21. Good morning Xtra! I'm going to take the liberty to answer the technical question(s) for you. - NVH increase: noise, yes however when cruising at 60mph you hear nothing till you get to a hill. Vibration, nothing over the RMM. Harshness, i mean with the cutouts open its harsh to ear drums - Logs show a significant gain with the cutouts open vs closed and restricted through the stock muffler, not disclosing how much until tune is done. - Mileage with the cutouts closed is better than open, on highway trips we commonly see over 450mile to a tank with cruise set to 75/80. - Contact info: @snmjim needs to provide that
  22. dear god avoid sync 1 like the plague and if your gonna do any mods make sure you get awd, as FWD in 15' just cant put the power down.
  23. I wouldnt recommend cutouts on a stock system, its just noise.......and not a very nice noise at that. however, running 2.5" all the way back from the turbos really freed up some ponies and i would recommend running cutouts with the stock suitcase muffler as we did in the downpipe thread. nice a quiet on the highway and loud/ pick up a good bit of power (due to less restriction) when you want noise and power.
