If the car is in D or S and is auto shifting itself (ie: driver has NOT touched or initiated manual shifting), the gear # will not stay visible in the cluster. Sure now there are a slew of offerings on the market, but as stated Hypertech was the Tuner chip of the times for those staying N/A, it worked with subtle mods and without fear of blowing up the engine.ġ) Is there any such offering for the 2018 EB yet? If not, anything in development for the 2018 EB with a proposed ETA?Ģ) If the Hypertech unit is installed - does it leave any trace once removed if the user needs to take the vehicle in for warranty work? Trace meaning, would Ford be able to see any key/ignition cycle changes in the PCM data logs? This has been discussed by many regarding the “other” Tuners, in which in the event of a failed engine, Ford is able to determine if the engine had an aftermarket tune at some point by viewing the ignition/key cycle data which can be compared to prior service visits (if any).ģ) This question may tie into #1 above: With the introduction of the new 10R80 for the 2018 models, has the shift mapping also been improved upon for both D and S driving modes?Ĥ) This question may tie into #3: The 2018’s with the analog dash cluster and 10R80 - the gear # selected will only display if in “D” or “S” mode AND the driver is using the paddle shifters. I’ve owned 20 Mustangs now (including my 94 Cobra and my 2018 EB) the majority of my ownership was the Fox Body (79-93) - and I had the original Hypertech chip in my prior 1986 GT as well as 1992 GT. Hypertech is not new to the game and they are familiar with Ford’s PCM factory tunes and can (and have) offered varieties of safe aftermarket tunes for the Mustang platform for MANY years. Hypertech was also very well known on the largest Mustang website of the time period on (where I’m still a member today). in the 1986 Mustang, you would have already known that Hypertech was THE pioneer and first to bring the “tuning chip” to the Mustang platform. I was also going to reply that if anyone on this site was around during the original Mustang “5.0” movement, meaning, the introduction of the EFI 5.0 H.O. Glad you’re on the site and appreciate the very detailed responses from the Tuning Manager! I'm not against offering the option, but I'm not sure that's the right fix for a PCV issue. We didn't see that issue with the EcoBoost Mustang, so we didn't include the option in the ME2.0. On a related note, our MazdaSpeed 3 tunes do allow those vehicles to adjust the idle speed, but that was only to eliminate the resonance of the engine inside the vehicle. I'm sure you know this, but figured it was worth mentioning for anyone else who is curious. That should stop once the engine and exhaust piping is warm though. This is much more noticeable with a high flow cat or catless downpipe. Another thing to note is that you will get condensation vapors coming out of the exhaust when the engine and exhaust piping are cool. Checking shaft play on the turbo, and for oil residue in the charge piping would verify that the turbo is okay. I would assume that these fixed the smoke issue on your car unless you have a damaged turbo. I see that you have the UPR DVCC and their breather cap as well. A more permanent solution would be to add a catch can to separate the oil from the PCV return to the intake. That won't be necessarily be fixed by raising the idle. I can see how that would be a bandaid fix for the smoking, but the real issue is that the engine is ingesting oil and water vapor that creates smoke in the exhaust. Raising the idle would decrease the vacuum which would decrease the effectiveness of the PCV system. ![]() We spent several months tuning this car, but we may not have had the time with the mods to notice the idle smoke issue you're mentioning. Good question! Although we did mod our test vehicle with full exhaust and high flow catted downpipe we didn't see any issues with smoke at idle.
