I don't get all the naysayers tbh, not exactly a new far fetched idea to swap an engine. JDM crowds put crazy swaps in whatever they can dream up. Top Secret Japan put a v12 into a supra. Necessary? of course not. Making out of this world power that can't be had from a 2JZ? nope. Lots of custom...
I'm not sure if I see it in the same way. Ford has struggled for some time in gaining ground back in the industry in several categories only to lose in the long run to Euro/Japan. They had a car for every consumer and became a jack of all trades kind of company and that isn't always a good...
Yea, loud I'm ok with, but really fucking loud is a concern. My buddy has a charger with full corsa and its fun for about 15 seconds and then you just can't hear anything else. And i'm not trying to get kicked out of my building.
I was considering these for lightening the load:
rear seat delete
lightweight bucket seats
aluminum driveshaft
I already have aftermarket wheels
I think that could save me ~50 lb or more
My two issues with the LTH is inspection and (less so) neighbors
My next step was going for LT headers but I’m wondering 1. What kind of power can I expect 2.how much louder will it be? (Currently have x pipe and borla exhaust). I love the way it sounds now (a little louder would be nice) but my friend has a full corsa setup on a charger and it’s PAINFULLY...
Building out the engine will just make it better IF you decided to boost it later. It would be able to handle the boost and outside of changing from high to low compression pistons, all the other parts would be beneficial.
Or spend the 8k on a supercharger and nothing else, boost the brains...
Book was published in 2016 so well before the gen 3 was out.
People boost coyote engines because they can handle the boost, and the cost is more affordable than a full build. I also think it's like this because (IMO) people don't want to spend the money on building out the car properly and just...
I'm in the same boat. I've been hauling out to long island to some meets but I have to believe there are more meets in NJ.
FYI October 6th is the Top Gear cars and coffee at Paramus mall parking lot. Huge event (it is a ticketed event) but in spring there was a crazy amount of people/cars...
I don't think anyone here is denying the cost/benefit of FI vs NA. And I also understand the big difference in power output, but that is literally always how it is. FI will always make more power, however seeing every single upgraded mustang out there with another blower kit is common. I'm not...
jUsT bOoSt It bRo
just kidding. I'm with you. I think its great that so many mustang owners have been able to build fun and very fast FI builds and there is definitely a tendency toward that route, however I think making a fun NA build is great. The argument seems to be 'bang for buck' but for...
