2.7L engine Tune?

[Wm435]

Hey was wondering has anyone been able to tune the new 2.7L engine?

 

[Roxasuras]

I don't think anyone has done it yet for the 2.7L, I'm sure it will be soon.

I would like to buy an all weather cab and have it be my new daily driver, while still keeping my 2020 2.5L. But don't want to be restricted if I can't get a tune, especially for daily driving

I talked with Wade LaLone at Diesel Freaks, he said they have been working on decrypting and tuning the new 2.7 and it is "very close to completion".

 

[Roxasuras]

In my opinion Diesel Freaks is hands down the way to go. I initially had a different company do it in 2019, and wound up having Wade fix it for me. Wade and the whole crew at DF is Top Notch.

You think that aftermarket boost valve would have any performance gains without a tune? The 2.7L that is

 

[Roxasuras]

Not sure, I'm not the big of a turbo guru, maybe someone else on here would know. I would lean towards no, because it is after the fact

Wm, I put the boost valve on my 2.5L engine and it smoothed out the engine at higher RPM. That was the most notable thing that I noticed. Prior to the boost valve, at higher RPM my engine seemed to run choppy.

I do have the Stage 2 from DF. I run 55 often. I am making it my daily driver shortly and that is why I went with Stage 2. Also, I want to be able to drive the unit to where I want to go mudding or whatever.

Also, while on the road with 35 inch tires, I am running 7 miles faster than my speedometer reads. I will send my ECM back to Wade and he will recalibrate it at no cost.

 

[Crossfire]

I take it as stage 2 from DF ? How many go is that?

 

[Wm435]

Well I have a max tune from DF with a 2.6 Tune, but that's for my 2.5L motor. I was wondering and hoping to see performance upgrades for the newer 2.7L motors, but nothing yet unfortunately

Wade @dieselfreak has done it. He has released the long awaited 2.7L tune.
Congratulations Wade.
Tell us all about how you finally cracked the code.

Heck ya! Thanks for all your patience it was a tough one to crack. The problem really was being able to read and write the ECM. We finally got it. I can't count the hours that were spent on the dyno and the miles racked up on a machine just sitting on the rollers. I believe this has to be one of the most thoroughly tested calibration we have ever released. We believe everyone will enjoy.

Thanks Wade!

Thanks for all the hard work, Wade!

That is great news. Lots of Roxor owners have been hoping for this since the 2.7L engine came out.

Ordered the tune today, sending ECM out in the morning . Wades a beast. Also ordered electric fan conversion and the 1.5" climax shackles. I may cancel the shackles in the morning though. I think since the end game is to be on 35's with my 4.10 gearing I probably want the bmf or rc 5.5. What do you guys think?

 

[USMC]

Drunk, I think the 1.5s are too small. My rear tires still rub on the tub lip when crossing deep ditches. There is only like a 1/2-inch clearance from the tub lip. Get an entry ladder with the 5.5s though!

Thanks USMC, I went ahead and canceled those 1.5. I'll save up and get the BMF in a few months. Steps are in the future, my girl is short and already complains lol

I got the OEM Side Steps from Diesel Freak. I have been very impressed with the quality of construction. They are the perfect height for my 32"s with no lift.
From the top of the OEM Step to the Bottom of the Floor is FOUR Inches. (Probably No Enough)
You are in a Catch 22 situation. You need the step low enough to do some good getting in, but not low enough to knock it off wheeling.
You may need to do some calculating on exactly how high the door opening will be off the ground, with the Lift PLUS the Tall Tires. You might need a Six or Eight Inch Step to do some good.
My Dog rides in my Roxor. He thinks he owns it. If I were having a step fabricated I would have a solid step made from Tread Plate that my dog could not get a leg through. So far that is the only down side to the OEM Tubing Step. No problem so far, but I keep a good eye on my dog when I can.
A thought would be a step suspended on Steel Cable like on some heavy equipment. A cable suspended step could impact something on the trail without being mangled. Just something to think about.

Good Luck, and keep us posted. We will need a very good report on THE 2.7L TUNE.
Also keep us posted on the 4.10 Gears, Tires, Lift, and Side Step.
