Isn't the blackwing supercharged?
The s7 is TT V6
S8 is TT V8 and is 123k. Supercharged v8 offers better power for $$
The rest are significantly priced high/higher than a supercharged v8 would be. Again, it's all about cost
Potentially, but again coyote/mustang v8 engines are pretty high displacement. TT benefits probably don't outweigh the costs on development/build side. Doing some research on twin turbo v8 engines and I can only find BMW M5, however the displacement on those engines is 4.4 vs 5.0 and 5.2 on...
to be fair, the roush kit just started marketing themselves and putting up orders a couple months ago, while the whipple kits have been out in non carb states for almost a year
Maybe, but why do that from Ford's perspective when they have a bulletproof V8 Coyote that will make that hp easily? I also believe TT is more useful with smaller engines, and the coyote is too big for an efficient + powerful twin turbo (think EPA MPG requirements, they can't roll out a TT...
Putting on an already existing turbo ecoboost makes more sense. I was speaking about the v8 coyote application. Putting turbo on an NA engine will lead to more problems compared to the ecoboost which is more built for a larger turbo
edit: also keep in mind the production twin turbo v6 on the...
they can't because twin turbos on a production car can never maintain the reliability that supercharged cars have. also the cost of building up an engine to hold the power of a twin turbo would push the price of the car up to insane costs. so problem is mostly around cost. If they were to go...
Fair enough, I think for the s650 and s550, for me personally, I'm treating them as essentially the same car as far as most parts. I also don't think it would cause any engine trouble per say, just gotta weight the cost benefits
this is the case for NA builds. For FI, there can be a debate on gains with headers and a 3" setup. I believe there's multiple threads about it on mustang6g and a video about it:
Yup, i've talked with my local speed shop and they said if I still feel anxious about it, they'll fit the GT500 headers and cats to my dark horse, which seems like a good compromise. Just more $$ :)
nice video, im going with roush because of whine and also gonna keep stock headers and cats due to local laws. Hoping that lower hp will keep them alive a decent amount before i have to replace them
I meant if you just get the oil and bring it to any oil changer. I live in California as well and got Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Full Synthetic 5W-30 on amazon for cheap and got my local mechanic to do it for $110 total with labor and the oil. So you can save a good amount of money on every...
the only way to get an h pipe to work with the borla systems is to have a shop custom fab one for you or get them to do custom work on an aftermarket h pipe to fit. On my previous mustang I had a corsa HH pipe mated to the Borla s type axle back and it was great. As far as ATAK vs S type, my...
It's not that it's possible. It's the thought and the actions that have already happened. Sure, the majority of shops who install headers don't get caught, but what happens if you do? That's the end of your business. Most shops I've talked to in my area say just that, they would be willing...
Gonna get hate for this, but hybrid v8 would be a great compromise with the EPA. Similar to the E-Ray hybrid tech, where it's electric for low speeds/X amount of miles before the V8 kicks in.
Definitely feel the squeeze from companies right now, but I just put it up to companies taking way too long to come out with stuff. First to market = ability to set price. Once more companies enter the market, the prices should ease up
I messaged them about it, and they said that HP Tuners could have it soon (definition of soon could vary from person to person). I wouldn’t hold my breath for anything this year tbh
