ZFG TUNING AND WHAT IT DID TO OUR EXPLORER ST (DATALOGS)

Come along for some datalogging and some honest opinions of ZFG Tuning for the Explorer ST platform. How does it stack up to all the other tuners we've used for different vehicles.

Thanks... Just ordered my '24. Have no idea what to expect.. But looking forward to checking it out and seeing what I need to do. Thanks for the intel

[@NemesisDigitalMedia]

we're about to switch tuners and got some exciting news !

[@dcbrot]

@@NemesisDigitalMediayou’re leaving the ZFG tune? Why?

[@ArcMastersLLC]

​@NemesisDigitalMedia why?

[@georgiafan6618]

Good info good video. HP seems to be the go to. No turbo lag either. 👍

[@mark-ui8lu]

Late model turbo cars have no turbo lag. Been that way for a while

[@Tuxedorunner]

Yep, joining the dark side 😂 I am getting a ford, the explorer st is a rocket.

[@Keipherlc]

@nemesis5zero what was the mods list you had at this time in THIS video?

[@robertgomes7548]

So what programmer did you buy and what was the price tag on that unit.

[@ohEuroz]

Thanks for the video. I look forward to data logging, waiting for all my parts and RTD from ZFGR. What octane are you running?

[@NemesisDigitalMedia]

Currently on his 93 Performance tune. I think were done with datalogging it. I just ordered the E50 tune tonight. Will be updating in a future vid.

[@ohEuroz]

@@NemesisDigitalMedia Have you considered the auto octane tune? It’s what I went with, although E50 would be fun.

[@NemesisDigitalMedia]

@@ohEuroz there’s a forum post from ZFG that actually describes how even the octane specific tune has the ability to adjust to different fuel octanes and e30 ! I’m on e30 with his 93 performance tune

[@ohEuroz]

@@NemesisDigitalMedia Actually talked to Mr. Clark about that today 😂. That’s why I went with the 91-93 Auto Octane. I can feel safe with gas availability while taking road trips and also be able to use E-30 when I want to zoom 🏎️.

[@nothinbuthits9324]

How many revisions and data logging did you have to do to get the final tune for stock set up? Just received tune after rev01 and supposed do my second revision or data logging but was just wondering how many times it takes? Only have a stock 20 ST.

[@NemesisDigitalMedia]

the first revision was spot on

[@FanofLocke627]

How do you not void the warranty, and what do you do to get the tune back to the stock tune (with no proof you made and changes)?

[@jaysen0000]

Interested as well ? Did you find an answer ?

[@longhornboy2020]

How can you do this without voiding warranty?

[@jaysen0000]

Do you know if the tune voids the warranty? My dealer said it wouldn’t, but didn’t seem to confident. just seems like it would to me.

[@mark-ui8lu]

Any tune will void the warranty if it’s deemed the affected parts are from the tune which is easy to do. You really think it’s fair to the manufacturer to cover a failure that was from a tuning company that uses tuning software that is not theirs and from a tuner with an unknown skill level???. Nope

[@tcr2237]

Ya, dealers also promise anything they can to get you to buy the car. My 23’ ST has wireless CarPlay… I just needed to download the ford pass app and it would work. The GM at the dealer said that. I knew it wouldn’t work and laughed and said show me… it didn’t! I’m getting the ford performance tune and sticking with that for now. Keep that warranty in place. But damn, do I love watching these tuned out ST Explorers kick some ass.

[@kevinskonieczny7708]

That just a tune vs stock tune, or other mods on yours? That thing RIPS

[@quietrhinoasmr2597]

Just ordered my tune my st is stock I'm eventually adding exhaust, intake, intercooler am I able to Revise or retune once I get everything on?

[@NemesisDigitalMedia]

Yep ZFG can revise

[@BenDover-nh8ze]

Did u do it yet? If u did what are your numbers. That’s almost exactly what I’m planning on doing

[@sambishop4720]

Ever try unleashed?

[@nateturk7298]

I have a 22 explorer ST I got 2 months ago... definitely wanting to tune but obviously on factory warranty still but eh. Would it be worth tuning with just a new IC? I wanna get DPs and intake as well but that will be later. And do you have to have a laptop to log?

[@jamessimmons3921]

Damn, I'm on a factory warranty 📜 too with my 2020 ST.

[@nateturk7298]

@@jamessimmons3921 lol I'm already fully tuned now with all that stuff I was talking about.

[@wiuretto]

@@nateturk7298 what all do you have done

[@DavidWeinberg-cm9xd]

Tuning a bone stock NA vehicle is a complete waste of time and money? Forced induction is not? Got a tune on my bone stock 01' Lightning was worth 50 HP, then with a smaller blower pulley, added 3-5 more pounds of boost? 430 plus on a 5400 pound truck is not much, but it was nice? Would love to get a ST anything?

[@NemesisDigitalMedia]

yes, tuning a stock NA vehicle rarely nets amazing results like tuning a forced induction car.

[@d.collier_8280]

I know this is a random question. But, do you know of anyone that could tune my 18 F150 5.0?

[@NemesisDigitalMedia]

I believe Lund Racing tunes those

[@d.collier_8280]

@@NemesisDigitalMedia Are they local to us?

[@NemesisDigitalMedia]

@@d.collier_8280 theyre on the east coast but not local to Georgia.

[@Darylrb1983]

OZtuning, get the omega tune.

[@jaybemt]

What kind of tuners have you worked with that didn’t ask for data-logs?

[@Darylrb1983]

Are you worried at all about the plethora of 10r60 issues people are reporting? I found it hilarious that the ranger has a 10r80.

[@NemesisDigitalMedia]

Im in a lot of Explorer ST groups and dont see many 10R issues. No more than seeing 10R80 issues , which wasnt very often. The stock tuning and shift logic is pretty garbage though.

[@anthonys7534]

Damm! One bolt, Ford why use so much hardware? Could of just duct taped the rear end to the frame somehow, would have saved some corporate cash!

[@mark-ui8lu]

All of the ecoboost tuning should make a night and day difference. It’s nothing to do with zfg. It’s funny listening to customers try to do technical talk about tuning lol
