What's next for the EB platform?

Just as the title states, I'm curious what is really next, performance wise, for the current EB platform. I know some of you have plenty of experience with turbocharged vehicles; Is there anything you all have seen on other vehicles but not on the EB that surprises you? In my opinion, I feel like a lot has been done already we've got bolt-ons, built engines, turbo kits, aux fuel, meth, N2O but something tells me there's more. I don't have any particular goals or anything I just like reading up on different options.

I know a few companies have been experimenting with closed deck configurations.
And no ones broken 700whp yet either if I'm not mistaken.

My guess is somewhere in that direction with higher revs and biggggg turbos.
Would be cool to see if these motors can be built to reliably rev past 8k.

Also hope to see some compound turbo setups

I hear there is a cast aluminum intake manifold in development

MAPerformance BABY!! they need to release this bad boy soon!

ummmmmm no:doh:
no, this is a cast manifold designed and manufactured by cp-e
will have provisions for aux fuel, stock and larger TB's, etc etc etc

many features plus is suitable for mild bolt on cars as well as high HP

stay tuned

Lol you can even see cpe in the intake manifold!

That's an interesting airbox design.

would a twin turbo set up be possible for the eco? If so, would the eco be better as far as performance? just a random thought.

Well my bad. Sorry someone actually made a mistake on here. God forbid that actually happen. Still would only buy MAPerformance's.....

If you're talking about the next thing from Ford:

I wouldn't be surprised if the engine gains dual injection in a model year or two (Ford seems to have accepted that as the solution for carbon on the intake valves in trucks...:frusty: )

Well, you're going to miss out then. CP-e makes some of, if not, the nicest products on the market. I'd take a nice cast manifold over a big chunk of billet any day, but that's just me.

Keep us updated on progress with this, Ron.

interesting things here, i remember a thread on compound turbos awhile back but it vanished kinda like MAP's 700hp shop car :shrug:

looking good Ron you guys are always working on something, keep us updated as usual!

Closed deck has already been done, you can consider CSS and Sleeving "closed deck". They still have provisions for coolant because it is required. This is what I used to make 665whp with Ken Compton's car.

700whp will come and go here shortly. Ken's car now has 1/2" head studs and a custom gasket. Should start tuning it next week again.

Next it will need a bigger turbo, but have to see how it is going to get down the track.



I'm testing the MAP billet intake manifold as we speak, it is sitting in my driveway in a car full of e85 and a built motor. Going to diagnose a few small things and then get it to launch on the street, then going back to make some more power. Currently making 500whp @ 23psi wiht a 6466. Hope it is going to get up on the transbrake without too much issue.

It also features provisions for bigger throttle bodies, has a port injection with a fuel rail that accommodates both 48 and 60mm injectors, and can be disassembled if needed.

Did some testing with bigger throttle body, but needs a few more things sorted out before a bigger throttle body is going to be an option with the Ecoboost Mustang. Because of the ETC there is no just slap and go.




I think what's next is just bigger builds. I know I'm already working on a stroker motor (2.65L) and there are some camshafts in the works as well that should be tested in the next month or so. Then there is some interesting turbo setups coming out.

I think the latest is my complete E85 conversion that is selling pretty rapidly. Nothing like having E85 as a fuel solution while living in California ;).

I actually I'm no longer using a Boomba fuel plate anymore, had some billet machined for me by another guy in the industry, so that picture is outdated. People that ordered are going to be surprised they get a MUCH better piece without a price increase!

Any lingering "Shoulda got a GT" regret is gone

Now to find a way to swap my Auto for a Manual

What about a HPFP upgrade, Adam? Although it might not be enough to support full e85, it'd be nice to run an even higher mix, like E50-E60. The FoST guys are going to have one available within the next few months and it's stated to offer a 30% fueling increase.
