We really are fortunate to be in an era where a factory engine is as rev-happy and durable as these are.
12:1 compression and 500hp was a high performance NA build just a few decades ago.
I remember a co-worker of mine bragging he had a "high compression, 550hp 427" in the early 2000s. That...
Did my first Blackstone oil analysis on the Mustang. Check it out! Testament to the Coyote and Pennz ultra platinum.
7500 mile interval, self tuned on E85. Every time I drive the car it's used to it's potential. Nice to see no fuel dilution with the DI and E85 as well.
I bought the car new...
You could try the Jones dual 3" in/out resonated x pipe. It's stainless steel and pretty cheap.
I have stainless power headers, with two of these Jones units welded together for a Frankenstein double X pipe, with Flowmasters out the rear, all 3". The setup is loud when you want it to be but it...
My gen 2 gained around 30 lb ft under the curve with headers. Totally worth it to have that extra torque from 2500-4000, plus a small gain in high end power.
My gen 3 definitely feels much stronger but also converted to e85 at the same time so idk exact gains from headers. No regrets
Don't...
The car is constantly adjusting. Whether you run 87 or 91 or 93 it will start with less timing and then ramp in more until it senses knock, this is happening on the fly, all the time
Thanks for all the input. I zeroed out the toe as best I could and that helped ALOT. I think the long term fix will be going back to the stock mounting points on the kmember tho
What am I looking for when checking bump steer? Change in toe or camber or both when the suspension is compressed?
How many of these cars need a bump steer kit when lowered? I had a 2016 with the same springs with no issues.
First step will be next week (MN weather permitting) to get the toe...
Thanks guys. I used string and measured from the outermost tread groove at the highest point possible under the chassis. Raise the car, adjust, and then lower the car and roll back and forth to relieve bushing stress, rinse and repeat until I got to .2
I'll try readjusting closer to neutral...
Hey everyone,
My '22 GT feels like it's going to steer itself out of the lane on the highway or over bumps.
Here's the backstory- Just finished up installation of the BMR street K member. Also did motor mounts, camber plates, and headers at the same time. Car is lowered an inch on steeda...
Great input, I'd have to agree with you guys. Some good stuff from Tony on youtube and I've found goat rope garage to be somewhat helpful. Good info to be had over on the hptuners forums too but that seems hit or miss depending on what specifics you're looking for.
It seems the hardest part to...
Do you have any pics of where the turbo sat when mounted? Depending on placement I'm interested in the manifolds and cross over pipe if you decide to sell seperately. Assuming t6 flange?
Might be worth consideration- I bought some kumho ecsta ps91 on sale in 265/35r20 and 295/35r20. On a stock power '22 gt with a 10r80 and 3.55s, they hook first gear and will only chirp into 2nd if the car is in drag mode. Very surprised with these tires for only 750 bones a set. Perform better...
I probably went WOT at least 20 times with higher-rev coasting before I hit 500 miles on my last 3 coyotes. All were strong runners with no oil consumption or weird noises. Gotta seat your rings somehow right?
Thanks for the replies fellas. Much appreciated. It sounds like things have evolved considerably... does anyone know of a tuner who will provide a base file for me to learn and tweak? Obviously for a fee and I'd sign whatever waiver releasing them from liability.
I'd ideally love to find...
Hey guys back in the late 2000's I built and tuned my own 25psi boosted 4 cylinder on a Megasquirt standalone which was replaced by an Electromotive TecGT. Car ran strong and was a blast, no tuning issues on my part. Fast forward from a circa-2000 vehicle with no variable cam timing or direct...
Took delivery from granger today and was at the dealer for literally 5 minutes. Ordered Feb 10th.
If you want a great deal that's quick and painless, granger is the way
