FM Power Pack

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO COMPLETE THE INSTALL?

The length of time to complete the install will vary dependent on the type of work to be carried out. At minimum, you should plan to leave your car with Tickford for the whole day for basic fit outs. For larger packs with more complexity, we typically require the vehicle for 2-3 days. Check with the sales team at the time of quote to understand more.

Tickford takes pride in the level of workmanship it delivers and wants to ensure that customers receive a product installed to the highest standards. Therefore customers are reminded that while we like to meet customer expectations on delivery, we are not flexible in delivering to a required date if it jeopardises quality.

WHAT IS THE waiting period for a booking?

On average, we have a 3-5 week waiting period before your vehicle can be booked in at a Tickford Enhancement Centre. It is always best to provide as much lead time as possible to avoid the disappointment of meeting your preferred booking date.

CAN I PURCHASE PARTS OF THE PACK SEPARATELY?

Yes. All items within a Mustang or Ranger pack can be purchased as individual products, except for those found on limited edition models. eg. Tickford Trans Am.

These products are available to be viewed in the ‘Product’ section of the website, which contains individual pricing and specification.

Tickford has a warranty for both parts and driveline, which provides customers with the assurance that we standby our products and are confident in our installation procedures. Please check the technical features of the package to understand if you receive a Tickford driveline warranty or parts warranty or both. The full terms and conditions for each warranty are explained at www.tickford.com.au/warranty.

What is the Tickford warranty period?

The Tickford warranty period is 12 months for parts and up to 36 months / 100,000kms for driveline, depending on the conditions and exclusions met. eg. 1. Date of registration of the vehicle.  2. Track use.

Refer to www.tickford.com.au/warranty for more information.

Will my Ford warranty be affected with a Tickford tune or enhancement?

The current Ford warranty conditions state ‘… any damage resulting from non-genuine parts or accessories will not be covered.’(www.ford.com.au/about-ford/faq/) However, the likelihood of any damage resulting from a Tickford tune or enhancement is very low due to the nature of how the tune or enhancement has been developed. Tickford goes to great lengths to comply with national compliance regulations and our own strict quality operating procedure. In the unlikely event of a OEM warranty conflict, Tickford will work with Ford to ensure a satisfactory result is provided to the customer.

Tickford has successfully carried out countless tunes on Mustang, Ranger, Everest and F-150 models for the last few years.

Do I need to change my service schedule to meet the Tickford warranty?

Normal Ford log book servicing intervals must be maintained to meet the warranty terms and conditions. In addition, limitations have been placed on vehicles with superchargers or operating under a certain load or environmental condition as stated under ‘Exclusions and Limitations’ in the Tickford warranty – www.tickford.com.au/warranty. Eg. 1. Track use. 2. Extreme use.

What is a Tickford ECU tune?

Tickford essentially rewrites the vehicle ECU and recalibrates the map of the engine. The remapping is purposefully developed through extensive testing to obtain more power and better performance. Once completed the tune can be applied to an identical vehicle and engine. Eg. Similar to how an OEM car comes from the factory.

How is the Tickford ECU tune power output measured?

Tickford develops an ECU tune in an environmental controlled cell, where all aspects of power and torque are measured. At the end of the testing, the flywheel and wheel power and torque figure is provided.

Do we dyno test the Tickford ECU tune? 

Due to the extensive testing, Tickford does not offer bespoke tuning. Tickford considers the tune a OEM comparable product.

Why are power/torque outputs different on a manual to automatic car?

With complexities of PCM managements systems that look after and manage all aspects of the driveline, differences in power and torque between manual and auto can be observed.
