Gotchya. Seems like E85 and a larger turbo should help, along with a larger intercooler. So...maybe this is out of the question...but does anyone have a flow chart of this turbo yet? Are you basing that 23-25 psi off your tuning experience or just the turbo/ engine size?

Is the cold just gunking up the fuel? Fuel pump crapping out at high flow demand under cold temps? Cold weather should help prevent detonation, not encourage it.

If you're implying I haven't heard of detonation, please read my post again, I had suggested that as an overload event. If you're suggesting it was detonation that the driver/tuner never heard or knew about, and not implying I haven't heard of detonation, I apologize for being snarky. :D...

Bumping this thread because I want numbers!!! :paddle:

Thanks JJ. Do you think this is the point where meth injection/ e85 is going to be necessary? Or is there some room for more power before we hit that ceiling?

I get that it windowed the block. I'm not implying these engines are bulletproof by any means. What I do not believe is that the rods simply failed from the load of the engine making 420 odd lbft of torque. It is much more realistic that there was an overload event such as a seized bearing...

This. It sounds more like, imho, you spun a bearing. I would be extremely surprised that the rod let go at such a low level compared to stock... Pictures please:headbonk:

2010-2012 Fusion Sport comes with a 3.5L Cyclone engine. 240 odd hp...I think? It doesn't have any support for superchargers or turbochargers but it deserves it...the car is fantastic!:cheers:

Make me one for my 3.5L Fusion Sport and I'll buy one for my future stang :thumbsup:

That sounds like an easy way to spend a lot of money :thumbdown: Touch up paint or just live with it.

How long does it whistle? It's probably just slowing down and coming to a stop since the exhaust isn't spinning it anymore. Completely normal.

Not sure where you got that general rule of thumb, but I've never heard of that before.

So....it IS faster than a stock GT... This is getting good :)

GT or EB probably makes a difference too.

What do they sound like? Any clips?

And those issues arrrrre?

Probably just a recirc. Instead of venting the air to atmosphere and getting that characteristic "i've got a turbo" sound they pump that air back into the system making it really quiet. Although I actually can't confirm that's what they use on the ecoboost mustang :shrug:

Keeps it away from the hot turbo and exhaust

Yeah that sounds about right. Waiting for the update, thanks for any info you can give :coolphotos:

What kind of dyno is this? What gear are you guys using for the pulls? I understand the TQ is up there with the other dynos so far so the HP being so low makes little sense :confused:
