Non-FE Discussion Forum / What does it take to get started "Tuning" factory ECMs??
« on: August 18, 2021, 12:29:27 PM »
Anybody done this from scratch?  I have several vehicles and rather than purchase a tuner for each vehicle I thought why not just do it myself!  The information I'm finding doesn't really make much sense to me though.  Do I still have to purchase software for each vehicle, if that's the case while it would be interesting it wouldn't be worth the money. 

Anyone on here done this?

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Why new Rings, Why rough up a smooth bore?
« on: July 13, 2018, 07:00:28 PM »
Looking for the science/technical reasoning behind this.

The question is if you have an engine that's not burning oil, high mileage, great looking bores with no ring ridge, why can't you just clean it all and put it back together.  Nearly every post I've read online says that new rings and scuffing the bore is mandatory.  Nearly every post I've read says if you don't it will be an oil burner.  Why?

It's on an 06 ford v6.  So fairly modern piston and ring package.  I couldn't believe how nice the bores looked,  It just seems a shame to rough up the walls that have been polished so nice.

The downside I don't know that i'm sold on the sintered metal cracked rods, the concentricity was only decent on about 2 of the 6 rods.

FE Technical Forum / Rod Bearing Squirt hole
« on: May 26, 2012, 12:35:43 AM »
Do any rod bearings come notched for the rod squirter hole?  I was putting together an engine tonight and wondering why they aren't notched.  Was the theory for these abit like the piston squirters used on factory and high performance engines now?  Would it be a good idea to do it?  Opinions?
