Bf Typhoon Tune Into Bf Xr6 Turbo

[johnopaul]

even with only an extra 25kw, as said the extra 100nm of torque should make it worth while, if I can find someone at ford to flash it.

rbjet, good to hear it can and has been done, and worked well

anyone know of someone at ford that would be willing to do this?

No way would ford touch this with a ten foot pole.

Bringing in a car off the street were they don't have a clue what it's life's been like.

I understand ford wouldnt want to do it, as they are supposed to only load the latest tune to match the vin number, but what would it have to do with the history of the car??

Had a mate as a ford techy and we were doing this years ago.Cheap $50 upgrade over your night time service.

If your car has a 6 speed auto transmission or has DSC...forget about it. It will NOT work.

The transmission control module (TCM) in a XR6 turbo is different to a TCM in a FPV. By loading a FPV tune, the transmission will go into limp-home-mode -- indicated by the flashing "D" on the cluster.

If your car has DSC, your cluster will stay lit up like a christmas tree. Since none of the BA/BF FPVs came with DSC, by flashing a FPV tune into a car with DSC, the software on the ABS module, will no longer communicate with the PCM. It will disable traction control and DSC.

Also, like others have already said, the oil light on the cluster will stay lit up (unless you install an oil pressure transducer in place of the standard oil pressure switch).

this is called tear tagging... you need the tear tag number off an f6 typhoon and IDS software... after reprogramming abs module needs to be flashed also then no lights will be on bar oil pressure light..... phooned is correct (y)
