Stratified's 1.6 EcoBoost Aux Fueling System Kit:

MSRP: $880

Turn-around time: Up to 10 business days

What it works on:

Ecoboost 1.6T powered vehicles. This is a highly recommended fueling solution when running 300+whp with an upgraded turbocharger.

"Direct injected cars offer an increased level of efficiency and capabilities. However, the fuel systems are very expensive and difficult to upgrade when we want to extract more power from the engine. On top of this they have issues such as intake valves that get dirty. So it was time to innovate and allow you guys to enjoy a more powerful and safe Ecoboost!

The OEM DI fuel system in the 1.6 Ecoboost can deliver fuel for up to around 320whp but after this point it starts to run out in two main areas: The high pressure fuel pump, and fuel injectors. The high pressure pump is the first to lose pressure and this can cause driveability issues such as sputtering or non smooth running to redline as well as put the motor at risk of running lean. The DI injectors are soon to follow in terms of flow limitation especially if fuel pressure drops. Upgrades for these components are both expensive or simply not available.

The Stratified Xtra Fuel System addresses both the HPFP and injector shortcoming with a single, plug and play auxiliary fuel system. Without any other upgrades there is enough fuel available for over 450whp even with the OEM in-tank fuel pump and even more if the in-tank pump is upgraded. Moving to 550whp is possible using the (optional) injector upgrade.

Installing the Xtra Fuel System is simple (simpler than a water-methanol injection kit) and it requires no cutting, splicing, soldering or any non-reversible modifications to the vehicle.

Once installed, the system should be tuned (tuning is needed!) to work in tandem with the OEM fuel delivery system for seamless and safe power delivery - especially when using ethanol based fuels that have higher fuel flow requirements.

The controller is programmed using a serial/DB9 port. If you don't have a USB converter cable already make sure you purchase that option.

More Details:

The Stratified Xtra Fuel System has some of these key benefits and features:

- More power is made throughout the power band safely. The system can support 450whp+.
- Can support 550whp+ with upgraded injector.
- Running E85 blended fuel is now possible and safe without running lean on bigger turbos.
- A richer mixture keeps detonation and heat down which are major factors that contribute to piston and engine failure.
- Intake Valves are kept cleaner.
- No splicing, cutting, or modifications of the OEM harness or fuel lines.
- Upgrading the port injectors in the kit (if ever needed) is cheap and easy.
- Much better fuel metering and atomization than a WMI system - it is a proper fuel system that is also more reliable.
- We provide a WMI bung if you want to run the aux fuel on pump gas and run WMI for an octane boost (in areas where E85 is not readily avaialble)
- No extra tanks or reservoirs or pressure regulators needed.
- Many OEMs opt to run both port and direct injection systems on their high power vehicles. This way you keep the DI system and efficiency and only use the port aux system at wide open throttle.
- Fully Plug and Play. It includes everything for a complete installation.

Got one on order via the fist DHM batch:)

I am going to take a good look at the TB and do some porting and clean up work to ensure it flows the best it can. You have to take your time and do it really well, knife edge the input side and the butterfly, take a bit off the rod but not to much, smooth the interior, deburr everything.

Probably not going to do a great deal but when you do this to every section from intake inlet to exhaust exit it adds up rather well and it is the only part I have not done yet:)

Yeah, do the work yourself. I bought one of those modded ones from (I forget) but you can see the blade knife edged and the throttle shaft cut in half (I have a pic somewhere), I don't think it was worth the $175 I paid for it but what's done is done. I just can't wait for the first batch to be sent out! It's all I'm waiting for to run straight E85!

I have been building my own intakes, exhausts, turbo systems, etc for years but somethings just have to buy when done right, why I have the DHM BT and big IC kits, why Russ is modding the parts to change the turbo, etc, such beautiful work for very very good prices.

Who got the ball rolling on the 5th injector and who is going to tune it? Russ of course:)

The Stratified 5th injector setup might seem costly to some but when you consider time and effort, quality and performance gains as well as help keep the valves clean, I would get one even in not running a big turbo, a great product at a really decent price.

AND, no need to run meth injection for us not wanting crazy power, been there, done that, never again, this is far easier to live with:)

Porting a TB is rather simple if you have a few tools and take your time but have to use restraint and not get carried away, make sure it still seals as well as stock when closed, not binding, smoother flow is all I really want out of it.

how do we know all cylinders are getting the same amount of fuel?
You don't and when you let off the throttle it doesn't stop instantly either because the signal is from the coil. It keeps dumping for a second and will pool on the TB plate. I tried running my split second controller from the injector but it has a strange signal and cant be done.

That's not gonna happen with this setup. They cant do it on the Focus and wont be able to on the Fiesta either
It specifically states on their site that you can use this to run E85. If you run E85 you don't need to use WMI...

The coils provide the injector pulse/engine speed while map/boost reference turns on the injector...

Your not going to run straight E85 with this setup not going to happen. The split second take coil signals and the map voltage and crosses them to map the fuel. It will not stop right when you let off the throttle. You are very misinformed. This set up as the setup they built for the Focus can not run straight E85. I've built several port setups for the Focus and tuned them all. My Focus is the only ST running straight E85.

Steve, can you explain a little as to why Dusty couldn't use E85? Not saying your wrong, but I'm not understanding why it would be an issue...

It is true... Some extra fuel would be left in the intake between shifts, and extremely quick throttle closures. That also happens with water/meth injection, but it hasn't been an issue. It can be more of an issue if you use more water though.

$880 ant cheap. It maybe reasonable for what it is... But its still a good chunk of money.

On the other hand, I'm excited to see what effects this product will have on lots of different cars/setups. I need to PM boomba, I still feel like there is a more reasonable solution for guys not looking for 450whp of fuel on a 1.6L.

Stratified tuners were the first to run E85 on the FoST, so I'm pretty confident that if they say that this will fuel the FiST that it will. in4updates

I'm not saying he cant use E85 but he cant use full E85 the setup just isn't capable

You cant be first at something if you cant do it. how confident are you with either statement? Wanna put some money on it?

Ok... I'll bite... Why can't it use FULL E85? What exactly is the issue with it using full E85? If you took a bone stock fiesta ST, filled it up with E85, and changed the setting in the PCM, it would run E85 just fine. At some point, the fuel system can't keep up with that, and the stock turbo's ability to basically make boost off idle, if tuned to do so, means you could run a little lean before the hpfp gets going because its RPM dependent but how would simply adding more fuel to the topend via a 5th injector be an issue with E85. I'm not trying to be a pain in the butt, I'm just asking you to teach me, I'm missing something.
