ive posted a few videos on my channel, one with 75% throttle and another which reached 130kmh. it was at night, and my phone is crap so i cant record while i drive. its makes a little more over factory standards, around 190hp and 200 somthing foot pounds. ive owned it from the sense i bought it. i had a fuel addictive in it when i tested the topspeed. its fast for the type of car it is I may if i can record a 0-60 video, if i can ill post it here. it takes for me 6.7seconds to reach 100kmh. also it tops out at 200 190 without taking the speed gov off it. 4 speed tranny btw. i had the ecm tuned too.
Its a great car for what it is from when i had it. and i may also dyno it or take it to the drag but i dont want to stress the engine more than it is too.
6-7 seconds I don't know exactly yet. From today I just tested the 0-60 I got 6.3 seconds to 105kmh. It maxes out at 139mph exactly. Which the spedo it comes with maxes at 220kmh. I did a 1/4 mile drag here in Canada a long time ago, my time was 13.657 @169kmh. Alot of wheel spin sense fwd. I didn't use awd at the time. My transfer case is leaking *sweating* aswell
I would have to agree with this unless you have some mods or are going down a pretty steep hill... for instance... my silly mustang is supposed to top out at about 120mph... going down a semi steep highway for about 7 miles I got it to about 140... I started at about 80 and was full throttle the entire way. So you to would probably need a pretty good hill.
All I have is a ecm reflash, new sparkplugs and coils, and a fuel addictive other than that its totally stock. It wasn't downhill it took 50-59seconds to reach top speed.
You have to be making more power than that if you did a mid 13 second quarter mile. I'm betting your tune is extremely aggressive and you use fuel additives to boost octane so you don't detonate. A stock Integra type r does it in about 14.5 seconds.
A tuned 1.0L 3cyl Ecoboost would be pretty damn cool in your car. Stock, Your Mustang is rated 14.5 seconds to 60 with a top speed of 104mph and a quarter mile of 19.5 @ 68mph. Curb weight of 2817lbs.
Yeah I do use additives not all the time though. It makes 190-205hp with the aggressive tune I done to it. It pushes 192.7hp to the wheels and 187.98pounds of torque to the wheels. Few months ago I cleaned carbon off the pistons which are stock, and they looked new even after 195k on them. During that time I ported my cylinder heads aswell. Sadly I forgot to take photos when I wass doing it. And the car does knock when cold starting sometimes too The knock, igore the crap on the ground. Also the shhhhhhh noise is the exhaust manifold turbo sound, you can hear it on the highway in the cabin and it sounds better than the wrx turbo some of my friends asked if this had a turbo or not too D
I have this. I was struggling for grip when I was turning out. Doesn't really show in the video. I was nearing 60 when I let off.
I want to use a 1.0 Ecoboost, but I have no idea how I would hook up a transmission to it. Every single transmission (that I know of) for that engine is designed to hook up to a FWD car... like the Ford Fiesta or something like that. If they came out out with a rear wheel drive setup for that engine, I would be all over that in a second, because it would sound awesome still and I wouldn't get shot for putting a Japanese engine in a mustang... thats just asking for it. And I guess I didn't realize how light it was... is that for the hatchback? Because I could see that for the notchback possibly, but mine is a hatchback which is quite a bit heavier. Also I know the top speed it pretty low but thats not the top speed because of gearing... thats the top speed because of the lack of power and terrible aerodynamics... thus how I got it up so much higher when I used a hill.
Well, I finally got around to uploading this. I guess 10-11 seconds. Funny thing is, it doesn't sound like it has a MASSIVE hole in the exhaust like it (still) does.
depends on whether the bell housing is the same as the larger engines or not. It would make a fair bit of sense for it to match, but equally understandable if it does use a custom tranny. It might be possible to coerce it upto a miata tranny (ford and Mazda shared base engine design, not sure how drastic that changed) or with some work it might be adaptable to a tremec. It would shed a few pounds from your current weight, I'm not convinced by the amount you'd get back though, certainly fun but its not cheap to swap an engine.
The 5.0L Windsor swap would be way, WAY more bang for the buck but would add a lot of weight. For the Ecoboost I assume you would need a custom bellhousing and you'd need to take the computer from whatever car you got the engine from. I can imagine making a DI Turbo engine play nice would be an absolute bitch. The notch back weighs 2751. So about 75lbs lighter. And yeah, that top speed is drag limited. I think the gearing would bring you close to 200mph... It would be a lot of work but, when you do beat people, can still say you did it with 1.0L 3cyl. Your car would probably weigh around ~2750lbs (I think..) since the Ecoboost is all aluminum. The stock 1.0L Ecoboost Fiesta does 0-60 in about 8.3 seconds and that weighs 2540lbs. As quick, if not quicker than my car. If it was tuned you could probably drop your Mustang into the low 7-second range. You could beat almost any SOHC Honda owner with that.
Pretty much my point. That and the ECU for the current fords is quite highly integrated into the other cars systems, might be tricky to get it to play nice in a swap, may even be worth going to aftermarket management, megasquirt or similar. He'd certainly be faster than stock, but even so, bang for your buck? Even that K24 swap might actually be a more viable idea. I was more concerned about whether the bellhousing is the same pattern as that used in the larger displacement engines offered in the fiesta&focus or not. Quick google, it might not be, shame, as there are options for forcing one to mount longitudinally. To be fair. The most straightforward swap probably would be a cosworth unit as already mentioned. An old cosworth YB specifically, derived from the 2.0 pinto, its a 2.3 pinto unit in the foxbody already. YB is effectively a strengthened 2.0 pinto block, aluminium 16 valve performance head and a turbo. They've been known to push quite ridiculous horsepower figures.
Or the 2.3L Turbo from the SVO, Thunderbird Turbo or the Merkur XRT4i/Sierra. That would be interesting. Those engines are apparently very easy to get big power out of and they already come in RWD.
got around to videoing my subaru outback. sorry for the shakey video, i was recording it with my left hand
Why's the 1-2 shift so premature? Is it auto or a manual? It'd be a lot quicker if it hadn't have been shortshifted so badly.
