RANGER XD 1500 PERFORMANCE ECU/TCM TUNING (22HP gain / 80+ MPH top speed with stock sized tires!)

After 8 months of decoding and testing, we have developed an absolutely amazing tune for the Ranger 1500 models. 

Features:

• Huge power gains.  Brings it from the stock 115hp up to 137hp!
• 20 mph top speed gain.  (83-84mph top speed on machines with stock sized tires) 
• 100% throttle at all speeds.  No power restricting / throttle cut back
• All power governors disabled (100% power on tap at all times)
• Professionally developed timing maps for peak performance on pump gas
• Professionally developed fuel maps
• Fan settings 20 degrees lower to keep engine running cool and lasting longer
• Seat-belt limiter disabled
• RPM limiter raised to a safe 7900 RPM. (This is only the engine protection rpm limiter) Operating RPM is much lower than this. 
• Speed limiters eliminated
• False misfire codes eliminated
• Engine protections left in place
• A/C function left in place for Northstar models
• Retains Turf mode
• Heater function works 100% if equipped

Crankshaft hp is increased from the stock 115hp up to 137hp!  The combination of the ECU and TCM tuning increases the wheel hp by 20hp at 30mph, and a 26hp gain at 55mph+! 

Top speed is increased by an amazing 20mph!  The stock speed limiter is 63-64mph.  After this tune, we are seeing top speeds of 83-84 mph on our Ranger XD 1500 Northstar Crew Ultimate with stock tires!

This tune turns your slow doggy Ranger in to a powerful, fun, fast machine! 

The ECU and TCM both need to be tuned for proper operation.  Tuning just the ECU is not an option on this model because the ECU and TCM talk to each other at all times and need to be in sync. 

The performance switch on the dash remains fully functional. The great thing about the electronically controlled CVT transmission on this model is the fact that we can program the TCM to up shift at different RPMs depending on which mode you have the performance dash switch in. 

• Tow/Haul mode offers strong pulling power and ease of control for towing.
• Comfort mode offers low rpm, mellow mannered cruising operation for a smooth quiet ride
• Standard mode is mild but decent performing for general all-purpose driving
• Sport mode is designed for maximum performance at all speeds 

 

This tune does not cause any codes / check engine lights. It allows 100% power at all speeds. The seat-belt limiter is disabled.  It performs great on 87 octane gas and even better on 91 octane gas. All engine protections are left in place. Fuel and timing maps are revised for peak performance on pump gas while keeping your piston crown temps and valves cooler than stock. Additional protection is offered by lowering the cooling fan temp from 205 degrees down to 190 to keep your engine running cooler and lasting longer.  Once you receive the ECU and TCM, just plug them in, and you are ‚ready to go. Price includes shipping to you.  

If you purchase the tune from our website and are sending in your original ECU/TCM for us to tune, you do not need to print and fill out the customer information form because all of your machine and customer info is filled out during checkout online. Please just put a note in the box with your name so we know it's yours when it arrives. If you are not buying the tune online and want to do it over the phone with a credit card, please fill out this form and send it with your ECU and TCM. Customer Info Form

I have had several people ask if their heater will work as good in the winter after the 20 degree cooler fan temps, and the answer is absolutely yes. I have tested this during the harsh winter in Minnesota on my personal machine and found the heat works exactly the same. The reason for this is that the engine has a 180 degree thermostat and during the winter the cooling fan rarely comes on with or without a tuned ECU, but the thermostat is always maintaining proper engine temp to keep the heater core hot.

We offer 5 different ways to tune your machine.

• Purchase a brand-new ECU and TCM from us.  You keep your originals
• Purchase a core ECU and TCM (availability is limited) CORE EXCHANGE PROGRAM
• Send your stock ECU and TCM to us for tuning. (2 week turn around time because the ecu needs to be unlocked)
• Send your stock ECU and TCM to be exchanged for a core ECU and TCM
• Tuning with Hp tuners MPVI3 device (ECU needs to be unlocked for this to work)

TUNE PROCEDURE WHEN SENDING US YOUR STOCK ECU and TCM:

Write your name on your ECU and TCM or a slip of paper to send along with your ECU. You ship your ECU to us with any carrier you wish.

The Ranger XD 1500 models have a security locked type ECU which cannot be tuned remotely using the ez lynk device, Dynojet device, or Gilomen I flash device at this time.  They can be tuned using the HP tuners MPVI 3 interface with the proper adaptor cable. The ECU unlock service is needed in order to install a tune with the HP tuners MPVI 3 interface.
