always on edge Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Just released - updated tune for the G2 Edge Sport. I'm heading over to Livernois on Wednesday, the soonest I can get there. I'm sure the new tune will be sick as f*$%! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikula Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) count me in as usual! I wonder what the overall gains are though. On the first video I watched that they posted, it said: Stock: 225hp 254tq Tuned: 329hp 369tq now on that new video it says 312hp 423 tq hmmmmmm Edited November 27, 2017 by Mikula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spree Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 I'm confused. Isn't the stock HP 305? What exactly is the HP gain with a tune over stock? I wouldn't mind getting a tune if the HP gain is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
always on edge Posted November 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Stock: 315 bhp / 335 ft-lbs. torque with 0-60 in about 5.7-5.9 seconds and the 1/4 mile in about 14.5 seconds. Tuned (v3 93 Performance) 312 whp / 423 ft-lbs torque with 0-60 in about 5 seconds and the 1/4 mile time just north of 13 seconds. The link below is on the Livernois v2 tune - The link in my original post on this thread is for the v3 93 Performance tune. Note: those dyno numbers represent the power AT THE WHEELS. IMO, its most definitely worth it. Edited November 30, 2017 by always on edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind getting a tune if the HP gain is worth it. Stock crank numbers. The baseline numbers at the wheels were 225hp, 254tq. Fords official numbers are for the motor only. Yes you have a 315hp/350tq motor, but when put into the car, you have a 225hp/254tq powered car, which really is the number that matters because nobody drives their motor without the car! lol Edited November 29, 2017 by Nick Halstead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind getting a tune if the HP gain is worth it. worth it? I've been chasing horsepower in vehicles since i was 16. hp gain per $$ is amazing with these tunes. maybe i live a sheltered n/a v8 life, but for $600 and gaining 170ft lbs of torque.. yes. worth every dime. the first time you foot brake the thing and it pulls the wallet out of your jeans, you'll be glad you pulled your wallet out of your jeans. get it? after talking to scott today, they have had confirmed runs in the 12's with their v3 tune. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
always on edge Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 I got the updated tune (93P v3) today, then ran some errands around town and the butt dyno most definitely approves. My initial impression is that the power delivery is more smooth than the v2, the shifts are on point and the increase in torque is noticeable, even at low RPMs. I'm anxious to feel the torque gains up top as that's mostly what this update was supposed to address. When I ran against 300s's (Hemi powered) and Charger Daytona's on the v2 tune, they would catch me around 90 MPH because the turbo was fading fast. From the sound of it, on the new tune, the turbo doesn't run out anymore. Bring 'em on... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikula Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 hp numbers are pretty similar to what we had in v2. the curve on the dyno sheet looks comparable in either one. the tq curve however is quite different. it would appear that torque comes in sooner, lasts longer, and is higher just about anywhere above idle. looks like we'll have over 300ft lbs to the wheels from 2250rpm to 5900rpm (vs the v2 tune at 2650-5600rpm) i emailed them monday about the new tune, and still haven't received it. i can't WAIT!

Mikula Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 oh, and the most impressive part: at 2500rpm v2 tune- 260ft lbs v3 tune- 390ft lbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spree Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 I don't want to sound dumb when it comes to tunes, but I guess I am I have a stock 13 MKX AWD with 305 hp at the engine, maybe, I guess? (if I understand right). 225 at the wheels?? (from what I read), I think What would I have if I did this tune? at the engine and the wheels? I think I'll understand that if you put it in that format!

Yours has a 3.7L naturally aspirated engine. They are talking about the 2015+ Edge Sport with the 2.7L EcoBoost Engine (Twin Turbocharged). So the numbers aren't the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaX83_ZA Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 I don’t believe there are any tuning options for you. Sorry. Unfortunately, tuning normally aspirated cars tend to be more expensive than tuning turbo cars especially if you compare them to the gains turbocharged cars get that comes from the factory with a very conservative tune.

edsasdelli Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 I just picked up a used 2015 Edge Sport EcoBoost and been reading all the posts about Livernois tunes with interest. I'm not interested in 1/4 mile or racing, just a middle aged guy who wants little more power, better driveability and be able to tow my 2,000 lb motorcycle trailer. Is there only stock or "aggressive" or is there something in between that gives a little more hp and tq without the hard shifts?

Is there only stock or "aggressive" or is there something in between that gives a little more hp and tq without the hard shifts? Thanks for your help Ed "Newbie" They have a good amount of options for their tunes. pick an octane. pick the type of tunes you want. You'd be looking for the "soft shift" version of any of their tunes. most of us run a 91 or 93 performance tune, however mine had some really firm shifts that i never worked themselves out and i didn't like, so i asked them for the 93 performance soft shift tune and they sent it my way. feels like stock shifts, with impressive gains everywhere else. you'd have to retune for towing, as it is not recommended to tow with their performance tunes. you get 4 tunes of your choice plus the option to return to completely stock. retuning takes about 3-5 minutes. if you purchase, you'd ask them something like this: 93 performance soft shift 93 towing (or whichever octane you prefer) and then a couple more of your choice. I currently have: 100 octane race tune (for 1/4 mile days) 93 aggressive (for taking the curves and pushing it hard) 93 performance soft shift (my everyday) 91 performance (in case i'm travelling and can't find 93 octane) Stock (for longer trips.. but i've noticed better gas mileage with their tunes, but you pay more for premium fuel so its a trade off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got the Livenois MyCalibrator Touch Tuner and tried on tune, LMS 91 Performance, the file's name is "G2GA-CPA_CNBP2PA_91Per_V3_conv_.bin". Honestly the only differences I felt are the harsher shifts, so definitely will request a soft (stock) shift tune, but thought to wait a few more days trying it as it is. But wanted to ask how do you find the difference between the 91 Performance & stock? is it noticeable for you? Also, another question, when programming the tune, I was expecting it to take ~10 minutes, but it was much faster. The tuner display showed "Erasing block 1 of 3" then "Writing block 1 of 3" then the same for blocks 2 & 3 and that's it. Thought it would be more cause when reading the stock tune they where 16 blocks & took way much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cds71 Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 you should have noticed a HUGE acceleration improvement. Mine was night and day between stock and 91 perf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Close to the edge Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Mine was a 93 tune. But I went from 14.2 @ 96 MPH in the 1/4 mile to 13.4 @ 102.5 MPH. You should be able to notice a difference. Also keep in mine the transmission needs to learn your driving. LMS told me drive 200-300 miles to let it learn your style and it should soften up some on those shifts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

037 Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 A word of advice for LMS v3 users in hot climates... Use high octane. On the track in my experience the car would lose power around 90s due to over heating. Might want to ask them for their v2 tune and compare side by side as that tune did not have heat issues as it was more conservative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
