2018 5.0L = Dual Injectors: Direct + Port = Confirmed

2018 Mustang 5.0L - Dual Fuel Injection - Direct + Port = Confirmed

The new 2018 5.0L V8 engine has been confirmed to have dual fuel injectors, a low-speed port fuel injector plus direct injection.

For those that don't know, without port injection and using direct injection only, the engine loses the ability to keep the Intake Valve's clean, as the PCV system pulls oil and fuel vapors back through the air intake system. With the port injection added, you have fuel being sprayed onto the back-side of the intake valves. The fuel spray cleans and cools the valves, removing the issue that Direct Injection brought to engines.

Carbon build-up in the Intake Port and on the Intake Valve has been a problem for Ford and anyone else that designed their engines with Direct Injection only. Last information was that Ford has no approved procedure to remove the carbon build-up on Direct Injected only engines, thus the need for port injection in combination of Direct Injection.

Source? Any confirmation on reveal?

Port + Direct = best of both.

Good to hear! Care to share your source?

This video refers to the 2018 F150 engine line but it should be true for the 18 Mustang as well

Damn. I should have wait for a Mustang.

At least you didn't buy a 2010 GT in 2009. :lol:

The next best thing is always better and brighter. You will always feel like you should have waited a bit more. Just think the next time you upgrade it should be even better than the MY 18, hopefully.

All other things aside it could theoretically add up to another 10% to 15% hp, so figure another 44 to 65hp.

So a 475hp to 500hp Coyote is possible. I would guess more on the lower end though around 475, as 500 would put it too close to the Voodoo.

Is all-aluminium a new thing btw?

Negative.

I think the early 5.0 (2011) had an iron block? Could be wrong. But they've been aluminum for a while.

Ok thanks

2010 GT500 had an iron block
2011+ GT500 had an aluminium block

Coyote aluminium since birth

What a time to be alive. The 3rd gen coyote is going to be a savage. We're probably looking at 460hp with no sacrifice to MPG? Sounds great.
