first wreck 2015 mustang

Actually direct injection thus far has proven to be a godsend for boosted applications.

Because the pressure of the fuel being injected and the size of the injectors, there is HUGE headroom in the stock fuel system. Think about it, the fuel is being injected at an immense psi since its being introduced right before TDC and the spark event so it has to have alot of pressure behind it. Now you add 7, 14, etc PSI. This amounts to jack shit compared to the force pushing the fuel in.

The other vehicle love interests I have are genesis coupes, the 13+ are direct injection (both 2.0t and 3.8 v6). The v6 guys are throwing on turbo kits and only seeing menial increases in IDC in order to match proper afr's. The added volume of air just doesnt make much of a difference compared to whats already in there and whats being injected.

But a lot of that has to do with how much headroom the manufacturer designs into the cars. If I remember right the DI MazdaSpeed 3's suffer from an issue where you have to basically choose one or two mod paths and that's it. Basically intake and tune or boost controller and tune and you're out of fuel injector. Due all three and you don't have enough fuel flow because Mazda didn't leave much headroom in the injector design. Pressure plays a factor, but in the end it's all about quantity to make the right AFR's.

^LMFAO!!! Almost spit my coffee out!

Nah I just like giving people shit.

My buddy is looking to get a 11-14 and im pushing him to get one, great time to buy them if you like them. I wish I did, I try to like the style, sometimes they look tolerable with the right mods, but im not gonna spend $20-24k on something thats "tolerable" only when modded. But thats just me.

One of the big problems with DI in a high HP setting is getting a injector that can support high HP to work well at idle. The Turbo DI cars get around this by using secondary and some times tertiary injectors that are further up stream. I would love to see DI come to the Coyote motor, but I am planning on staying N/A. It will be a headache for the FI guys who are searching for big power.

Have any of the S550 haters actually seen one in person? The car looks pretty fantastic, IMO. Much better than the New Edge update and the '05-'09 cars.

Pretty much any mustang is nicer then the 05-09 :dancenana:

I would agree with regard to 05-09 GT models. Though I personally like 07-09 GT500 the most with regard to looks, with the right wheels, stance and raxiom LED tails, they really look killer.

See, the front end already looks far better.

yes seen several and drove them. cheap interior yes it is cheap besides the recaro seats, rear end looks good, side view looks good, front and hood is awful though!!! i will take a new edge over one all day and save a ton of dough

Hope kids wreck lots of the Ecoboost equipped cars quickly. Really want to swap one of these motors into my ugly Fox body SVO.

Anybody who thinks the front end of the 550 is a marked improvement over the 197 needs to stop squinting so much.

 

[03redfirevert.]

Really, even though 07 is the first year of the gt500

^^ They look like the 07

Who remembers in 1989 ford was considering replacing the Mustang with the Probe. There would have been no more Fox, no Terminator.

JUST THIS, HA

 

[JD03Cobra]

It was 1988 and I will never forget it. I was in high school and it was all over R&T with the replacement Mustang. Thank god it didn't happen

This was the actual model, 89 Probe GT.

Found it. LOL

I remember that very issue of R&T, and the Probe GT. At the time I was driving a turbo Mazda MX6 GT. It was decently quick. It shared many of the components found in the Probe. Both cars were nice, but......the Mustang GT was still the car of choice if you wanted American muscle.

 

[TheVikingRL]

Father had a turbo Probe, definitely felt like more than the 145hp it was advertised it. Like most turbo cars, ran really good when it was cold out. But as was said, thank God it didn't actually replace the Mustang.

Ouch!!
