Cooling Mod?

[WildHorse]

There's absolutely no proof either way.

While it claims to solve cyl 8/4 cooling issues, hence, gimmick.

There's zero proof of that. I'm open to the idea that it's a gimmick and either doesn't help or the assistance is trivial, but honestly until someone does a test with data, everyone's just speculating.

They are not near press fit at all. it’s just an O ring. fits in as tight as the water pump. After the freeze plugs are out it slides right in,put a bolt in Dune
.
The 5.0‘s absolutely need this modification they do not have any cooling passage around the #8 intake port so this makes it so that water does not flow around cylinder seven and eight Worth a crap and there’s no temperature sensor back there that’s why everybody has problems with cylinder seven and eight. Don’t believe me? do a quick Google search on the problems around cylinder seven and eight on the coyote

If I were to install this mod without the “T” fitting to the heater core would it still work? Is the pressure higher on one side than the other? I’m trying to figure out how the coolant flows out the back from one side to the other. I’m getting this installed next week with my supercharger and OPG/CS

@Jackson1320 has an excellent grasp of this. After running a 2015 w Whipple on road courses in hot arse Texas, I really wish I had done this mod even though trying to keep CHTs below 235-242 sustained on track. 7,8 dropped below 180 compression after 2 seasons. Had to back Whipple off to 4.0 pulley and add more cooling. Still cooked 8 off.

Have you tried installing a 170 tstat and having your tuner tune your radiator fans to come on sooner? That coupled with this mod should be pretty effective this is what I’m doing next week

Please post pics and do a write up of the install while you’re at it. I would imagine that you‘ll also discover that there are no threaded holes to mount the passenger side MMR stand-off too. Hopefully MMR has accounted for this and devised a way to mount that side somehow. I’ll know for certain when my kit arrives.

Then there’s the ground strap relocation that is necessary to clear the MMR stand-off in the driver’s side head. Hopefully someone has a pic of the new spot for this ground strap.

Reische 170 and fans on switches and relays for override to always on. Car was tracked. Only place to really enjoy Whipple without killing people is track.

What is the stand-off that your referring to?

No one knows

This piece. That may not be the correct name for it though.

Does your kit have these pieces? This isn’t what I’ve seen in other posts. I have a massive bolt and a skinny bolt I thought it was the same on both sides

I don’t have the kit yet. I just ordered it a couple of days ago.looking at what you have, it appear thst it’ll work on my 2019 Bullitt. There is a large threaded hole on the passenger side head. Stay and I’ll go grab a pic real quick.

Are you dropping your tranny or removing the intake manifold to install yours?

Here’s a pic. It looks like it’ll work. I was worried for a minute there.

Hmm maybe it’ll work for mine too then. It said 2018 and up when I ordered it. I’m actually paying someone to supercharge my car and do all the other mods and dyno tune it. Jackson on here said he removed some wall behind the battery and did it through that. I don’t have the tools or the time to do this myself

Im just confused because if you go back to the first page on Jackson’s posts his pictures are showing something different. I thought he had a 2020 mustang gt so idk why those parts look so different
