Today marks three weeks since I have driven my stang. I installed a customized 4" lift on the 2015 4runner that has been sitting on the shelf for the last year and a half as I was able to slowly buy and add components. Since then, I have been driving the hell out of it with a huge smile on my...

Ford burned that bridge.

Ford has been to reactionary since the 2015 mustang launched. I think that it fell behind what they initially had wanted, for one reason or another due to budgeting. Then the Hellcat..ZL1...etc, etc happen and Ford has found themselves playing catch up.

I have leather Recaro seats, and wish it had came with cloth.

Ew.

This thread is on crack.

That is definitely an improved design. It almost looks like an engineer did it...

The article says "And it sounds increadible". I do not agree with that.

I'm starting to lean towards the one he has being for one of Ford's SUV's.

Better than most offerings. Very futuristic looking.

Now that I have built out my custom exhaust system with straight pipes behind the cats with an H pipe, and mid mounted race bullets just behind the crossover... I am going to go just behind those and build out a side exit system. I am addicted to welding right now.

Lecture or not, the top ring will bend just like that when the piston breaks. Not always, but I have held a lot of pistons in my hand that had bent rings, not caused by heat or detonation. As a matter of fact, if I go up to my parents this weekend, I believe that I have a mustang ring that is...

Do you have a link to where you bought it so we can see what it is supposed to fit? Thanks!

Watch how brittle this cheap stock ring is off of a VW... Two minute mark.. You get an example of one bending and one breaking. It all depends on the type of steel, and which ring we are talking about as they usually are different materials.

It will not snap when seated in the piston as it has two opposing forces on either side of it. That will cause it to bend exactly like you see in the picture on a broken piston.

Agreed. Rings are more like a spring steel. They are fairly flexible, or else you would never be able to get them installed. I have never snapped a ring during an install or removal. If they were brittle, then I would probably have a bag of them laying around. I'm doubling down on something was...

I'm thinking the intake was leaking unmetered air into the combustion chamber, or perhaps something made it's way into the engine during the install.... Can you PM me who you received the tune from?

Just a quick note: Black oil does not mean dirty oil.

I beat the dog piss out of my MT-82. But I have a 2016 ..Enter shit eating grin.

I will need to dig up my logs, but iirc, I saw about 48 lbs/min with my Boss mani at 7600 rpms.
