At Panda Motorworks, we are committed to delivering tunes that deliver REAL WORLD results and the dependability you can trust. So after roughly 20,000 miles of hard street driving on our Stage 1 93/e50 setup, we decided to install an intercooler and dial in our new tune!



If you've talked to us in the past, we've preached about how effective adding an aftermarket intercooler is for the EcoBoost platform. The Maverick is no exception to this, and our tuning results prove that. If you know anything about intercooler technology, then you know after 1 look at the OEM intercooler that there is a lot to be desired. That's why we installed a CVF Intercooler on our Shop truck! We wanted to get our own data from this install, so now that we have it we will have a full video out very soon and it will be linked below in this thread.



Before we dive into our Stage 2 results, let's recap our Stage 1 results. Our Stage 1 results were achieved using our PandaTuned Starter Pack (K&N Drop In Filter, Cobb Accessport, & Custom Tune). We were quite pleased with results considering only a simple drop in filter and tune were added. We were also pleased to find that the stock fuel system can support an ethanol blend all the way up to E50! In descending order in the graph key are the runs from 93 Oct No Tune, 93 Oct with our Custom Tune, and then E50 with our Custom Tune!



As I mentioned, about 20,000 miles were driven at this Stage 1 level on the R&D Truck proving this setup reliable! We were very eager to add our CVF Intercooler so we can dial in our Stage 2 tuning and get it on the road for more R&D miles. The results below were achieved simply with the addition of the CVF Intercooler and a re-tune on both 93 and E50.



With our years of experience around the 2.0L EcoBoost platform, these numbers are IMPRESSIVE for the mods done. Mod for mod, the Maverick is a #FocusSTKiller! This is especially true when you factor in the AWD and Automatic transmission, these numbers are enough to put away a Focus ST. We can't wait to enjoy the Maverick at this power level for this stint of R&D miles.



If you like what you see and want to take your Maverick EcoBoost to this level, we just added the Ford Maverick Panda Motorworks Stage 2 PowerPACK to our website so you are able to get this exact setup on your Maverick! We also added the Ford Maverick Panda Motorworks Stage 2+ PowerPACK that swaps out the Drop In Filter for an AFE Momentum GT Cold Air Intake. Check it out!
