The Trinity fits (Dave Perciak)

[TearTheHorizon]

Try not to overthink the FPC possibility. We can only assume our trusted Ford engineers are searching for the most effective /efficient means of giving the new halo car the performance we expect.
There has always been multiple roads to the same destination, some more extreme than others. The FPC may lead the pack of mustangs soon, or it may be cast aside as not being what the engineers intended.
Whatever the means need be, the outcome will be the same. And we will all be pleased.

I figure stability issues arise due to the shear size of the engine. A 5.2 liter V8 is huge...

I would like to see a PTWA'd Coyote to 5.4/5.5 and maybe a small bore V8 Coyote (4.4-4.7).

I figure stability issues arise due to

8500 rpm.

 

[86GT]

8500 rpm.

that'll do it. I feel like they could see 8k out of a coyote easy, why they want to push it that high is beyond me, but it is fucking cool. If this platform is as capable as it seems, a one-off short production run (2000 a year for 2 years?) ZR1/Ferarri killer with a FPC and 8500rpm would be fucking cool

8500 rpm.

Mated to this new 10 speed paddle shift auto:hail:

All the tap dancing in this thread is very confusing. It sounds like the voodoo is still in early stages of testing. If that's true, then what motor is in that SVT prototype? I'm assuming whatever car that is, it's going to be announced within the next 6 months or so. If the trinity line is down, then that leaves..... what?

 

[TearTheHorizon]

There is at least one prototype svt car running around. That would be the "ferarri" sounding one I mentioned a while back.

 

[chopsui]

Hmm, well the one in the videos doesn't sound anything like a Ferrari

 

[TearTheHorizon]

Hmm, well the one in the videos doesn't sound anything like a Ferrari

That's because it isnt on (released) video.

 

[chopsui]

Yeah but the one in the released video is what I'm talking about. What is it?

 

[TearTheHorizon]

Sorry, I don't know.
Sounds like a trinity to me, but Im no expert.

Personally I would pass on both the Voodoo and Trinity for the engine out of a TT 5.0 CJ. That alone would make me happy. FordRacing lists BorgWarner as the supplier which of course makes sense. According to this article it is the same as what they use on the ecoboosts which on the F150 is a K03 I believe.

TT 5.0 CJ Article

Now to dream a little::ford:

What would be awesome (and make it better) is if they would bring BorgWarner's EFR line of turbo's to the 5.0. Drop compression to somewhere around 9:1 add DI (as much as I don't want them to) and crank up the boost. EFR turbos are an amazing piece and would have the potential to take Mustang to a factory perfomance level never seen. And doing it all without trying to reinvent the wheel by using FPC technology. Which isn't "new" technology, but new for Ford. Very excited about the new Mustang and I can't wait to put one in my garage.

Not trying to derail any further: :threadjacked: but I missed something on my initial read of the article I linked. It states that they used the same turbos that are on the EcoBoost motors, but this little detail in the article seems to debunk that.....titanium aluminide (Gamma-Ti) turbine wheels. This is used on EFR turbos. So maybe the CJ actually has my dream motor......:hail:

 

[Twin Turbo]

Correct. The flat plane crank has stability issues however.

Thank you

Sounds exactly like mine

I said what I know. The Trinity engine dies with the Trinity GT500.

In 2018 you will see a new king of the hill. I'll say this, that won't be the first performance model you will see.

You mean Ford will have another new Sport car model? That's not the Mustang? Like the super car ? That would be cool.
