I want to clarify that ford is using a hot side egr your don’t get carbon build in in that version of EGR. You’re talking the old school EGR that was eliminated mainly thanks to VCT advances. The EGR used in current EcoBoost engines is the same crap they use in diesel to cool exhaust gases to...
For the people in the back oems don’t overrate for insurance reasons or even really anything else other than 2 scenarios
1) emissions a lot of times they’ll make the engine be an overachiever, because they’ll intentionally run the engine on crappy gas and or make the stock tune super super...
Ecu swaps aren’t that easy because a lot of the time, you lose something as a result, or you have to re program basic crap like the dash knowing what to do. So no i don’t believe ecus swaps cheaply are going to be a thing. And as long as get carb legal tuning from the big boys who cares, the...
The redline is already 7500 for the gen 3, and i wouldn’t expect it to go to much higher because of emissions and the fact you would have to give something up in the powerband else where. There is no free lunch.
They didn’t do shit trifecta can only modify a few tables and they’ve yet to release any tuning. This isn’t like the gtr back in 2008 when Cobb broke into it . I’d be surprised if we see a tuning platform for the c8s
PSa trifecta has been around for a long time he’s well known for the cobalt SS...
they’re definitely hiding something we don’t even have a pic under the hood of a dark horse
what i find odd is if it’s just better cams, why not do more, larger throttle bodies, different intake. We are definitely missing something
That turbo looks almost the same as the one on the updated 2.0 in the maverick interesting, honestly this might be the most interesting engine if makes a lot of power
the mustang gt we can pretty much assume will be close too 500hp, the big wtf is the dark horse. They haven’t been transparent at all about exactly what they’ve changed other than higher cylinder pressures which doesn’t exactly make a lot of sense unless they’ve done other modifications that...
Yes and no i don’t see them not trying to get pasted the gt350 but without other modifications, it really really hard to say what the same horse will make we don’t even know the cam specs. Heck it could make 550hp nobody knows and even if its 520hp and makes 450-470tq, that’ll make it one heck...
Stangmode suck but this is the new norm. Way too many brand are worried about hackers and they’re also worried the epa might wack them for easy tuning. So the days on getting into the Ecu for cheap and easy are over. I’m sure it’ll get hacked into at some point but then you’re going to be stuck...
Don’t kid yourself upgraded cams could give the dark house a solid 20-30hp alone especially if they focus on valve timing to a key. Point being i wouldn’t be surprised if the dark horse hits 525hp
That’s exactly what I was trying to say, but I worded it kind of weird. They’re basically giving you your cake and eating it with the new cobra jet. I’m very interested to see the gains on the older engines
One of the engineers mentioned in passing that they used the f150 engine as the base, because they had to get rid of the cylinder deactivation which would cause the redline to be 700rpm lower. If i can find that link to the interview I’ll post it, i thought it was the engine labs article but i...
