Hey guys,
I've been lurking since before the s550 finally dropped. I'm an engineer at Ford.
I used to be big into turbo Honda's in high school, but once I started working here I went full blue oval.
I used to roll around in a lowered 2010 Fusion Sport. That car was awesome but I've...
His engine is completely built top to bottom, boosted to make ~650hp, and his exhaust might as well be non-existent lol
The exhaust is really key along with the anti-lag (possibly the coolest auto-related tech of all time...pop pop!)
First, thanks for the update. Good to see progress being made...good to see you're failing, identifying the issues, and correcting accordingly...awesome R&D.
What you're telling me, though, is that if I want that idle I need to go to 100% port injection? ;)
I think this is awesome, looks good man.
The whole "made in china so the quality sucks" thing can be true, but I've never had an issue with chinese intercoolers.
As long as it isn't load bearing I don't see any reason not to run an eBay part.
No I didn't snap pics because I was filling up at the gas station lol
It was blue (which i think looks really good in person), and pretty dirty...kind of a salt/mud mix. There's a few running around campus here I'll try and snap some pics today if I can find the black one ;)
Edit*** Yes it...
Steering and powertrain are separate groups here. This was probably the result of using a steering setup that's similar to existing cars and plopping it into a platform with a north-south engine. It's little stuff like this that can slip through the cracks of vehicle integration.
