Using all of these can drive up the cost, but I felt it was a way to do it “right”. I am unsure how the PCM wiring looks like for the early-generation transverse 3.5L EcoBoost engines (2010-2012 Ford Taurus SHO, 2010-2012 Ford Flex, 2010-2012 Lincoln MKS), so if anyone can verify, feel free to let me know and I’ll update this write-up. Though the WOT Box has applications for a wide variety of platforms (contact N2MB for your specific one if unsure), this write-up will cover the 3.5L transverse (the F-150 longitudinal variant has different wiring) twin-turbo EcoBoost. After speaking with the folks over at N2MB, they said it would work and they produced a wiring schematic for me on the connection process. I just hadn’t heard about anyone using it on our application. Now, the WOT Box is nothing new and has been around for some time. Well, this idea I can’t take credit for as a friend of mine, Forrest Folmsbee, who also as a pretty bad ass, fast Explorer Sport, turned me onto the value of having a 2-step and shortly after (by coincidence, lol), Jordan Christensen of SHO Forum and YouTube fame, actually brought up the N2MB 2-step controller WOT Box to me and Andrew Bullock (current SHO record holder) as a possible option. There’s been talk of it from time to time on various pages/groups/forums. One way to produce more consistent launches is with a transmission brake or 2-step.

Placing the O2 sensors in an Open Loop state for the duration of the 2-step engagement is advised. NOTICE: Tuning may be required in order to adjust for the unburnt fuel that is being seen by the O2 sensors during 2-step engagement. Per N2MB, keeping the duration of the 2-step short and allowing for proper cool down time can mitigate potential damage to catalysts. Using this on a vehicle that retains catalysts may cause issues, potentially damaging the catalysts, as they may see unburnt fuel. NOTICE: As this is an ignition-cut based system and it does not cut fuel.
