- In this video, I cover how to perform the vent to atmosphere (VTA) mod on an Explorer Sport. I also discussed why it's ok to VTA with a MAP sensor VS a MAF sensor.

The items required are
1. 1" bar stool stoppers (they come in a pack of 4) that can be purchased at any hardware store.
2. You will need two hose clamps. You can even reuse the clamps that are already on the recirculation hoses or any 1" clamp you can get over the bar stool stoppers. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Just did this to my 2016 Sport, sounds so good. Absolutely love the new sounds
Yes Sir!
Awesome channel bro. I have a lifted f150 and an eco boost explorer. New subscriber to your channel!
Thank you! I appreciate the support.
I see you have those msd coils I was just looking at those and ordered them for my wife's explorer now I'm going to do that mod thank you bro good video
Thanks. You're welcome!
Anything that Ford didn't add that I decide to install on MY Explorer is a mod. I've never done anything with with motor...what's your point! Surely you know the difference between a mod and service so why you trying to get under my skin?
Love the shirt, MK3 Toyota Supra Turbo owner here.
Thanks. I use to own one...never lost the love for MA70s.
I have A 2017 Explorer Sport. I have a K-N cold air intake; in place of the oil cap, I have a breather that fits the same way as the oem cap. I installed a Magnaflow catback exhaust system. I removed the rear coil springs and installed a set of H&R lowering springs to drop the rear about 2 inches which gives me a more level ride and put new Bilstein B6 series shocks and front struts. I run Amsoil signature serries synthetic oil (5w30). I just did a performance tune with an SCT X4 programmer. Now when I hit the gas the Explorer really goes !
Very nice! My only question is why did you replace the oil cap with a breather? I suggest you get a catch can.
@@blacktalonsport1262 Hoping the breather would help with any pressure when running at a high rate of fuel consumption. So far there is no oil clogging it up and I am not burning it either. i use Amsoil signature series 5w30 oil. At this stage I don't want to do anymore mods.
@@nickt9626 that breather will cause fumes to escape. A can would catch and store it. Plus it might cause a CEL for PCV system. I can't recall the exact wording. But it can cause an issue.
Is SCT X4 a good tune for your ride? I just got a ‘16 Sport, and have noticed Livernois is way on back order for all their packages.
Yes it is. All the SCT tuners are really similar. It just a matter of what you're willing to pay for. They all allow you to download tunes. The major differences are the displays. I Iike GearHead followed by Ortiz. I think Livernois charges way too much in comparison.
Nice vid
Thanks I appreciate that.
I have question i did the vta mod but I noticed that only driving it does the noise but on park tried reving it but it doesn’t do it is thay normal I noticed my rev limiter goes only up to 4k is that normal on park
Yes that's normal when you don't have a tune. They blow off under load only when not tuned. If you put it in drive, hold the brake, and Rev it a bit they will blow off...just don't do it too much because you're loading up the transmission clutches. After I did the Gearhart tune they blow off whenever, and you get a 4.5K soft limiter that sounds amazing as it's its bouncing of redline🤤
What tuner do you recommend me getting? And does these have lanch control? Or some how lanch them?
@@jonathancasas7263 I have the Gear Head tune. I made a video on that tune. I love it! I couldn't resist the auto octane adaptability feature. I just wish it had a burble/flame tune option. No launch control option. I just put the terrain management in "sand mode" to lock all for wheels, and the transmission in "sport mode" when I want to drag someone
@@blacktalonsport1262 i see thanks man I’ll check it out what I did try was the pedal commander that thing works great. takes off the turbo lag and btw im new to the explore sport, i just recently purchased it.
@@jonathancasas7263 yeah man no worries. Welcome.
So this mod doesn’t have any negative impact on the engine or do anything bad ?
ZERO! When done correctly. You'd just have to get used to the sound.
Ty sir!
I'm looking to do this on my 3.5 EB Flex. Does anyone have a link to buy the "caps" to cap off where the hoses go?
You can buy those caps at home depot, lowe's ect...just get the correct size. They should be 1" caps. They're also called bar stool stoppers.
@@blacktalonsport1262 Perfect, thank you!
@Christopher Harris you're welcome
Will it damaged the engine or something in the long run?…… have an 16 explorer sport
No no damage to anything at all.
I'm a diehard Toyota fan, as of late I also can see myself turning into a BMW fan boy. They're really coming out with bangers!
@@blacktalonsport1262 awesome video…… will be doing this mod later
Thanks man. Enjoy!
@@blacktalonsport1262 sounds beautiful
So u didn't cap the hose the one in the back its open...?
The port is capped I just left the hose on. It just vents down and makes a slightly different sound VS the front
@@blacktalonsport1262
Ok...? U think iff I put universal k.N vent breatherfilter it would work better than the plastic in the end of the hose...
@@miguelherrera4414 if you mean using a breather filter instead of the bar stool stopper...no. that port needs to be "capped off" like I have it.
@@blacktalonsport1262
Ok sound good, thanks for ur time ...
@@miguelherrera4414 anytime
I did this and felt a big difference in my drive. It sounds amazing but I felt a loss in acceleration. Thats just me tho. I put mine back to normal
I dont understand how you would loose power doing the VTA Modification...unless your talking about on another vehicle?
@@blacktalonsport1262 i might do it again after I put my sct x4 on , 3 bar n 170stat. Its all on the way now
@@blacktalonsport1262 did u do a 3 bar? If so where u get it?
I would suggest you tell your tuner you've done the VTA mod "before" they send your files. This way the tune has the consideration for VTA.
Yes the 3 bar was included in the Gear Head power pack I purchased directly from GH.
Would I throw a check engine if I do this ?..
If done correctly no.
Thank you will be doing this today I was just worries of throwing a check engine code
All you’re doing is creating a massive boost leak. This isn’t a blow off valve, it’s a recirc valve. You want your car to sound fast but you’re just making it slower and making your turbos work harder
That's inaccurate. A "boost leak" happens while in boost. VTA while off the throttle is not a boost leak. The MAP sensor doesn't know when we VTA so it's fare game.
Not much of a difference between a BOV and a bypass valve. A bypass valve can be modified to function as a BOV with no problem...that's what I did here. If I didn't have a MAP sensor then I'd run into problems. The MAP sensor is key to doing the VTA mod.
Many mods will make the turbos work harder just like everything else we do to our cars to increase/improve performance. It just means a turbo replacement/ upgrade will need to be done in the near future.
VTA will not "make you slower" we don't blow off while "shifting" (neither in Manuel mode or auto) so how would the VTA mod make us slow? If I came off throttle I'm not trying to accelerate so how would that VTA cause me to go slower if I lifted?
