Concerned about rotating assembly

Yea HP doesn't kill motors... TQ does.

In terms of the rotating assembly, until we see customers reporting blown engines, I don't think there should be concern. Caution? Of course, as with any performance mods, but not concern.

There are several out there.

This car is only a few months old. The engine hysteria sets in with every new car. They'll be just fine and making plenty of power on stock components.

Evo 8s and 9s have been well known to make 500 all wheel horsepower and 400 all wheel torque or more through the stock rotating assembly.

However this is with a larger turbo that doesn't have a low rpm punch.

Tuning is a massive factor as well, while all of these off the shelf tunes are great it's well worth the money to get a professional to tune your car based on the modifications you have.

I can guarantee that an ecoboost motor with a larger turbo at 400/400 will last much longer than the stock turbo being maxed out.

We are lucky to have so many respected names designing turbo kits for us, they will sell like hot cakes!

I see it every time also lol.

E85 + bigger turbo at 23-25psi with very good tuning should make some nice numbers. The torque hits the rods like a bus. A linear power band will be less brutal on the internals. I'm not going to get hysterical until then. Usually takes a year to see some good results and data on a new platform.

My early guess for the stock internals is 430whp 430wtq reliably (not hard driving every second). Medium sized turbo, E85 flex fuel, full bolt-ons, proper cooling.

Someone posts a picture of a windowed block. People panic and ready to jump ship completely forgetting the engine was past red line and far past safe boost levels ESPECIALLY considering it was the stock turbo. Sure there are road blocks in the way for BIG numbers but I see it as a challenge. I guess I'm dedicated to the Mustang aspect of it all. Not just a fast turbo 4 cyl.

You will be fine, I commented in the stock rod limit thread with our findings. Proper upgrades, proper tuning, you will be fine.

Cliff Notes: We have over 300 pulls on our Ecoboost Mustang now, about 90% of them are over 400ft/lbs of torque and there is no knock or failure.

And yours is an unloaded or loaded Dynojet dyno?

Granted -- this is pure speculation. I'm not even sure why I made this thread... but the "stock rod limit" thread worries me lol

Your concern is understandable. The crank is a solid piece from the factory. The piston and rod combo is something to be more concerned with. We have already discovered this by tearing into several 2.3LEB's. We have already developed a rotating assembly for the 2.3!

This kit utilizes our custom forged piston and forged I-beam connecting rod in conjunction with the forged 2.3L crankshaft. The kit includes all the pieces needed to build a fully forged 2.3L Ecoboost engine.

The pistons include heavy duty thick wall wristpins as well as a stainless steel top ring. These components are designed specifically for this boosted application. The pistons have thicker ringlands, increased crown thickness, thicker skirts and skirt struts as well as reinforced pin boss.

This package lets you build a 2.3L Ecoboost that will handle whatever you can throw at it and keep coming back for more.

Welcome to the "Suckered by Livernois' Glory Run" club.

And, yes, you are wise to be concerned.

It is unfair that people say our "glory run", "suckered", "fooled" or "made" them purchase a car.

You cannot complain about your specific results when you have never even purchased a single part from us or run one of our tunes. We did not "make" anyone do anything.

Buy our parts, run our tuning and adhere to what we prescribe...you WILL see results!

I still can't understand why Moderators do not warn members for "bashing"! :rules:
I think it is now enough said about Livernois and it should be good now. Sorry Livernois!

Is there even Mods here? I figured that there is, but either they don't care or just aren't on here much. I'm a mod on another forum and would be glad to help out some around here.

Yes there are mods. I know this because they moved the "Are Ecoboost Mustangs Backwards?" Thread got moved two weeks after it was posted, haha

Unfair or not your video was a huge push for me to get the eco mustang also.
I think your tune will get results,however it doesn't offer me much flexibility for putting together future mods.i want to retune as I go.

Livernois offers free tuning updates. You'd need whatever controller your local dyno used to do a dyno tune, however. But yeah, give livernois a mod list and they'll give you a tune for it.
