Remote ECU tune · 3.0L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6
A custom Stage 1, 2 or 3 calibration for your Ford Explorer ST 3.0 EcoBoost, built by hand by a real tuner from your own stock file and datalog, and back with you within three hours of the file arriving. We tune these cars remotely, worldwide: you read and flash with your own HP Tuners interface, and you pay only once the tune is delivered.
Stock vs tuned
From the factory the Ford Explorer ST 3.0 EcoBoost makes 400 hp and 415 lb-ft (563 Nm). A Stage 1 tune typically adds 30–70 hp and 45–80 lb-ft, for around 430–470 hp in total.
