  Calibrators note:

  These tunes do not use the COBB OTS calibrations as a base. Being an Ecoboost specialist since Ford first launched the platform, we ported our own MSD base strategies over to the COBB platform in order to utilise their enhanced features and the awesome Accessport. All our E-Tunes are based on our own tried and tested strategies and will drive identically to our non COBB platform tunes retaining our renowned factory drivability at all throttle angles.

  Custom tuning for all, remotely! 

  Using the awesome data logging capabilities of the Accessport, we invite you to send us datalogs via E-mail so that we can custom tune your purchased calibration to better suit your own, individual vehicle. After log analysis, we will send you a further optimised tune that is based on feedback from your own vehicle. This feature comes standard with all our tunes for those owners who wish to get involved in some customisation but don't worry, you can enjoy the product forever without getting involved in custom tuning should you wish to.

  All our calibrations come with full printed instructions further detailing the above features and how to do the datalogging for your custom tuning and the first couple of revisions are included in your purchase price. (We normally only need the two...)

  
  

  Flat foot shifting: 

  Enabled on all our calibrations, this feature allows the accelerator pedal to stay fully depressed while shifting gears. The use of the clutch pedal will still be necessary, but keeping the accelerator pedal fully depressed between shifts allows for the turbo to stay spooled between gears, so you can concentrate on the fastest gearshift and let MSD take care of the engine speed.

  
  

  No hassle launch control: 

  No more entering menus in a hurry because with our calibrations, simply having the clutch pedal and accelerator pedal depressed fully is enough to activate the feature so the system will quickly raise engine speed to the determined RPM set in the calibration file. (Adjustable on request)

  
  

  5-way launch control set-points:

  This feature enables users to switch between 5 different launch control set points on the fly. You can use the factory cruise control system to switch between different set points. Our calibrations have 5 set points enabled from 4250rpm in slot 1 to 5500rpm in slot 5. (Slot choice varies due to other features)

  
  

  MSD-Trac / COBB Traction control:

  COBB Traction Control is a custom feature available only with the Accessport. It doesn't involve any extra sensors, installation, or hard part changes. This makes it easy to improve road course or straight line track times on completely stock EcoBoosts, highly modified race cars, or any other supported Ford in between. Essentially, if your wheels are uncontrollably spinning at any time during any race, this feature can help, and when bought from MSD it has a few of our own enhancements added too.

• Hardware Requirements

  MSD 350(470NM / 350PS)

  This is a calibration that mimics the vehicles standard power and torque but retains all the awesome COBB Firmware features and MSD's legendary driveability!. This was created specifically for use with MSD Multimaps and is ideal for Multimaps slot 1!

  
  

  Additional hardware needed:

  • None.

  
  

  
  

  MSD 380 (540NM / 380PS)

  This calibration works perfectly on a totally standard car and lifts the power restrictions from within the ECU, further enhancing the power output to 540NM and 380PS. The rev limit is extended slightly and all the temperature protection features of the management system are retained and further optimised to suit the vehicles new power output.

  
  

  Additional hardware needed:

  • None.

  
  

  Optional Enhancements:

  • High flow air filter
  • 1 step colder spark plugs
  • Turbosmart Kompact CBV
  • Rear motor mount upgrade
  • COBB Catback Exhaust

  
  

  
  

  MSD 400 (560NM / 400PS)

  This calibration is designed to work with the factory hardware and a free flowing air filter to help with the extra air flow. This calibration further increases the engines power over our MSD 380, increasing the torque output to 560 NM low down and extending the power higher up the rev range to 400PS. The rev limit is extended slightly and all the temperature protection features of the management system are retained and further optimised to suit the vehicles new power output.

  
  

  Additional hardware needed:

  • High flow air filter recommended

  
  

  Optional Enhancements:

  • 1 step colder spark plugs
  • Turbosmart Kompact CBV
  • Rear motor mount upgrade
  • COBB Catback Exhaust

  
  

  
  

  MSD 420 (580NM / 420PS)

  This is our maximum power output on factory engine internals and further increases the engines torque output to 580 NM and peak power output to 420PS. The rev limit is extended slightly and all the temperature protection features of the management system are retained and further optimised to suit the vehicles new power output.

  
  

  Additional hardware needed:

  • High flow air filter
  • 1 step colder spark plugs
  • Uprated Intercooler
  • Turbo Back exhaust system with sports cat 

  
  

  Optional Enhancements:

  • Turbosmart Kompact CBV Advised
  • Rear motor mount upgrade

  
  

  
  

  MSD Multimaps:

  A firm favourite... This feature gives you up to three different power levels.

  Starting with a standard power slot (MSD350), then an MSD380 followed by either the MSD400 or MSD420 dependant on your installed hardware. All switchable from the cruise control buttons (Or the Accessport itself), even with the engine running. There is even a built in valet mode to limit RPM and boost when you leave the car for cleaning or servicing, as well as an immobiliser for peace of mind. You can even dictate which of those slots the vehicle loads up with when you first turn it on. We have you covered for all eventualities!

   

  
  

  MSD440 - MSD700

  Further power is available for suitably equipped cars (Forged engine and Precision Power turbos / HPFP / Uprated injectors for example). These tunes can be done remotely but are outside the scope of a simple webshop form.
