  1. Turbo motors more expensive to maintain?

    Those turbos fail why? Because they are pushing WAY more boost pressure than will ever been seen short of full race applications on these gasoline motors. Also what kind of mileage are on those turbos when they fail? I'm betting easily north of 100,000 miles. Modern technology in turbo designs...
  2. Ecoboost mod list

    There will certainly be gains for sure. All I'm saying is don't expect the kind of gains that people have seen from the ST cars or other FWD based turbo cars. Catalytic converters don't rob as much power as people think they do. On the WRXs, what is the power difference between the same downpipe...
  3. Turbo motors more expensive to maintain?

    Turbo Diesel. Your argument is invalid. So far I've seen people make claims that turbo cars will cost more to maintain without ever showing how it costs more. There's no proof. Sounds like you guys are going off of what someone else has told you. Bottom line, the EcoBoost will not cost...
  4. Ecoboost mod list

    From what I've seen from detailed engine bay pictures, the downpipe seems well designed, and is of decent enough size. The catalyst isn't directly after the turbine housing like in most FWD applications either. Regardless, very excited to see what can be had out of it
  5. Backup light

    The V3 Triton will be the brightest, most usable PnP LED you can buy for it. Short of doing a full LED build, this will be the best option. http://www.vleds.com/v3-triton/bulb-system/white.html
  6. Maybe We Shouldn't Be Worried

    This is the problem. Someone comes out claiming something with ZERO proof at all. You are at the burden of evidence to prove that water vapor retains more heat than CO2, which is in higher concentrations in the atmosphere than some people seem to think. I think very well for myself and have seen...
  7. Ecoboost mod list

    The downpipe on FWD turbo cars is almost always the biggest restriction in the exhaust system. The aftermarket downpipe will yield the biggest gains vs the rest of the system. I don't believe the downpipe on the Mustang is going to be any real restriction until you start getting into big...
  8. Maybe We Shouldn't Be Worried

    No one in the scientific community legitimately studying climate change say we are in a cooling period. CO2 isn't man made, but man is releasing more if it into the atmosphere than would naturally occur. I believe I saw the other day that the CO2 levels in the atmosphere are now the highest...
  9. Maybe We Shouldn't Be Worried

    Exactly. Carbon Dioxide is the number one greenhouse gas. You need to show some proof where it shows water vapor retaining more heat than carbon dioxide. Unless you think more clouds in the sky would cause a runaway warming effect?
  10. Maybe We Shouldn't Be Worried

    Sorry DHG, but you have to show some sources on that showing how water vapor retains more heat than carbon dioxide does.
  11. Different Ride Height Images - Forza 5

    Yes you can. When you go into the tuning menu with the race suspension installed, you can independently adjust ride heights front and rear
  12. The 2015 Mustang coming to Forza 5

    Yep, that diffuser looks so much better matched to the rest of the lower bumper.
  13. Official Video Game Thread!

    Usually either Forza 4 or Forza Horizon(I'm too broke for an Xbox One or I'd have Forza 5 as well). There's also some GTA:V on 360 and I'm starting the Assassin's Creed franchise(I have the first and second one).
  14. Pizza

    Via Napoli in Lake Buena Vista, FL. Absolutely insanely good pizza. Little Caesar's is great for the price. I still enjoy Pizza Hut's stuffed crust. Papa John's is my favorite chain though.
  15. How many miles do you have? 5.0 and 4.6

    Not a Mustang but my '96 Thunderbird has the NPI 4.6 in it. Has 288k miles on it and it runs great. Previous owner changed the alternator and water pump along with other maintenance items. I replaced the intake manifold because it cracked with the original plastic coolant crossover. Here's a...
  16. Driving a manual

    I taught myself how to drive manual on the first car I ever bought myself. It was a 1983 Mazda RX-7 and it didn't run when I bought it. Towed it home, got it running and just tinkered with it in the back yard and alley until it was tagged, then went onto the streets. I wouldn't own an automatic...
  17. Eco boost sound

    I should have specified in that they took what they learned from the SVO and applied it to the later Turbo Coupes as far as the computer tuning and what not. Ford had the GT Turbo in '79 or '80 that was around for a few years. It was non intercooled. I can't remember off hand if the XR4Ti was...

    It's gonna be MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD
  19. 0-60 time for Ecoboost w/basic bolt-ons & tune?

    It will likely utilize a front mount intercooler like the ST's, with it being mounted low in the lower opening. Putting a downpipe on this car will be a breeze based on what I've seen for engine bay pictures. I don't think it's going to net as big of gains as it normally does on FWD turbos. FWD...
  20. The 2015 Mustang coming to Forza 5

    How about one of the lighter colors with the diffuser painted black? That would probably be the first thing I'd do with an S550 if I got one.
