Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

So those of you with a Vessel subscription, I HIGHLY recommend jumping on.

For those of you without, it's going to be a long week. :)

I'm not saying it's nothing. I am always harping on weight. But it is not as large of a difference in weight as many people think. 

 

it may be only 5%, but 150lb is 150lb...  I think its significant

do you still get ads?  Linus went on vessel during the last WAN show and he said he thought it was gonna play an ad...

2.3L. The 2.3L Manual mustang is 3532 lbs, the 5L Manual is 3705 lbs. The 4 cly is 95% the weight of the V8 model. I see where you are trying to go, but you are going to need a lot of help to get that 2.3L past the 5L on a road coarse. The Ecoboost V6, I agree you could probably do it with relative ease; that 4 cyl, not so much. 

I could tune the truck and it makes more power than the Coyote..

so did i but the guy was so persistant about it. (i think he must have it confused with some other car (cortina gt 1500?))

A cortina would make more sense

I already have viaplay, eve online, HBO nordic and netflix subscriptions. Can't justify a vessel subscription.. Especially since the videos show up sooner or later anyway

No ads on vessel for as long as I can remember - with and without AdBlock enabled.

Yeah, but I'm just adding that you really don't have to do anything. Just tune it, maybe at most change the air intake.

I agree, it is significant, but so is the 33% power disadvantage of the 2.3L vs the 5L.

Then that flat power band goes bye-bye.

At first i thought "This guy must be pretty well off to afford one of those"

Then i saw "Norway"

Are you a member of the royal family? 

If not. What do you work with and will you hire me? 

 

Really nice though. Come down to mantorp sometime  ;)

ok, thats what I was originally thinking...  but that bit during the WAN show threw me off.  I was about to get pissed and declare to never get vessel if they're gonna charge for the service AND run ads...

Interesting that you seem to have completely flopped sides of this discussion lol.

 

If you throw a much larger turbo on it, you will get more torque, but all higher up than the V8. And this is all assuming we dont spend equal money on the 5L.

I don't even know which would perform better on a road course with a given budget for both cars. I know you could make more power out of the 5.0, but what's the cost/performance?
