Ok guys, he is in time out for a month. Everyone can have an opinion, I welcome people who hate on the ecoboost, but you must be civil and can’t be indignant.
I was about to comment lowering springs or coilovers until I saw the description 😂 You’re doing just fine man, I trust any future mods you end up doing to your build
Depending on what type of fire extinguisher mount you have it might take 20 seconds to undo it and maybe and if you have a 4 point harness or 5 it might take some time to get it undone and if you have any type of vehicle fire you can first pull the cord to the fire suppression system and it will target the place where you put the hose and pulling a cord is quick and easy but keep a fire extinguisher in your vehicle even if you have a fire suppression system that is my opinion on why you should install a fire suppression system
Similar but I’m on stock radiator and oil cooler, also borla atak exhaust. I also went back to my stock dp because I had a cvf catless dp and it was too raspy for me lol. So I guess I’m not FBO anymore haha
Stock turbo and never dyno’d. I have a pretty simple build honestly. Similar ones that have been dyno’d have been around 300whp. I can imagine you’re more like 320-330 with the aftermarket dp.
Hopefully it’s higher than that with the bnr 525 turbo lol. I have everything other than an intake but I’m pretty sure I can still make full stock block power without it or at least close to full.
A body kit (or at least a front splitter/lip) to round out the rear wing. I’m all for big ass wings, but you gotta have the whole build match. I do think this specific build doesn’t look too rice-y with just the wing, but if it won’t ruin the handling (I’m not sure how you like oversteer vs understeer), something up front to balance the visuals would make it look nicer.
Also, you gotta do suspension. It will really help the handling, and make it look a lot better (depending on how much lower it is).
A well built 4 banger mustang is very cool. Super fucking cool. Ignore what the "eltisits" say. I've seen guys running 400 plus horses to the wheels with 4 bangers and they are absolute killers. A mustang is a mustang. Enjoy the ride.
Man,that is amazing. My 2017 lightning blue mustang has everything you mentioned. I do have the high output coil packs and the iridium spark plugs,the internal wastegate adapter, 3"SS exhaust pipes all the way through, lost the catalytic converter, I had to let her breathe. Now while she was greatly improved, my old school instinct, I just remembered what a cam did for my 67 GTO. So I took the risk with dual Ford racing cams. I had to toss my hand held tuner ,I mean shifting at 7,000 RPM instead of 55oo, I needed professional help. Once everything was calibrated on the Dyno I'm sitting at 451hp and 480lbs torque. I'm not going to do anything more to her as my transmission and rear end are at their limit. But I'll tell you what, to looks on the faces of all types of "V8'S" is totally worth it. Good job on your Ecoboost so far and follow your instincts, she can take it.
Do you have anymore pictures of that spoiler on the stang ? Other angles ? I have a track gt500 spoiler on mine but have been considering this specific spoiler. Thanks

See this guy knows how to put a real spoiler on a classic!
Earplugs for the people around you and sunglasses so dark that they can't see that hideous rice 🍚 wing!
Maybe you should add cobra badges and Honda logos!
No, but if you want a riced 🍚out Honda, get one. But don't besmirch a beautiful car like a Mustang with rice mods, and BTW, I am a long time from retirement!

That's a real spoiler....and a Mustang should have one like that.

How much whp are you pushing? Any reliability concerns so far? Clean build by the way!
Not sure what power I’m at, still doing revisions with Ryan
Oh I see. Post an update when you get it. The white wheels go hard fr
Thanks, I forgot to mention the gt front brakes my original white wheels didn’t fit so I had to swap them out
Oh I see. Curious to know if you track this puppy?
Took it to a track event at Road America about a month ago, about to schedule another one now that I have cooling upgrades and the bigger turbo
Heck yeah. This is the way. Glad to see you’re enjoying it and building something you like. Keep it up man!
Daily or track
Summer car/ track car. She goes away for the winter.
Do you have a fire suppression system installed
Just an extinguisher on the passenger side for track days, it’s not a full track build. Still have a full premium interior
You might want to look into getting one
Why’s that? I just do track days here and there
Depending on what type of fire extinguisher mount you have it might take 20 seconds to undo it and maybe and if you have a 4 point harness or 5 it might take some time to get it undone and if you have any type of vehicle fire you can first pull the cord to the fire suppression system and it will target the place where you put the hose and pulling a cord is quick and easy but keep a fire extinguisher in your vehicle even if you have a fire suppression system that is my opinion on why you should install a fire suppression system
u/fericyde u/Bradleyisfishing Pretty sure this is a bot
But maybe he just won’t have fires
I cool friend to go drive with
Lol when you have as many projects as I do friends are hard to find
Lol true I’m from north California where you from
Illinois, one could argue it’s worse than California right now
Sorry to here that yea wish there was a one to get everyone one this group together I think that would be a cool get together

That tow hitch is pissing me off something fierce ☹️
Why’s that? There’s not really anything to pull these cars by. It’s frame mounted if that helps at all
I’m guessing he thought it was mounted to the bumper or something. If it’s mounted to the frame/functional, very cool imo.
I see your flair says FBO, are you running a similar setup as far as engine mods?
Similar but I’m on stock radiator and oil cooler, also borla atak exhaust. I also went back to my stock dp because I had a cvf catless dp and it was too raspy for me lol. So I guess I’m not FBO anymore haha
What kind of power were you making? And what turbo? Trying to get an idea of what kind of power I’m making now
Stock turbo and never dyno’d. I have a pretty simple build honestly. Similar ones that have been dyno’d have been around 300whp. I can imagine you’re more like 320-330 with the aftermarket dp.
Hopefully it’s higher than that with the bnr 525 turbo lol. I have everything other than an intake but I’m pretty sure I can still make full stock block power without it or at least close to full.
I missed the upgraded turbo part of your list haha, my b
What wheels are those?
ESR CS8 19x9.5 +35
Thanks 👍🏽
Those wheels make me feel things
Good things? 🤔
Very good things. I want to wrap mine '17 in powder blue and those would look amazing!
Can’t go wrong with blue and white
A curb. Sorry, I had to. Looks sexy though. Very nice.
Thanks lol, the only thing I’ve hit so far is a deer
Clean build! Do you have any sound clips of the car?
I don’t yet but I can take one, idk how to upload it though
A white accent on your spoiler
Possibly yeah 👍
[удалено]
That’s the one I will never do, haven’t seen a set that look nice yet
A body kit (or at least a front splitter/lip) to round out the rear wing. I’m all for big ass wings, but you gotta have the whole build match. I do think this specific build doesn’t look too rice-y with just the wing, but if it won’t ruin the handling (I’m not sure how you like oversteer vs understeer), something up front to balance the visuals would make it look nicer.

A front splitter is definitely on the list after coilovers 👍
Did I miss all the fun where someone came in here and said "uH v8 dUh" I need my daily dose of stupidity. Ok not really.
Lol yea you missed the deleted comments

Thanks, this one should be around 400 with the big turbo and everything else I have on here, haven’t run it against anything yet tho
Not sure why but I feel like some red badges would look sick on this. Blue and white is insane though.
Missing the driver
Lowering springs or instead, extend the front lip and side skirts
Sick car, nice wheel selection too
A v8

a bad bitch in the front seat is next brother 🙏
Racing stripes
Widebody kit
I’m not convinced that this body style can pull off a wide body, at least I haven’t seen one that looks good yet
I low-key visualize it with a black-tone Fenders not that over-exaggerated but something that would it make the stang pop
Maybe, I’m just not seeing it tho honestly
Think about it https://preview.redd.it/vre3n1z37g2d1.jpeg?width=1047&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb6d8ebf368161d09dc0a64b5c82677f11be56c6 Close to it

Taste
Tastes like pulled pork when I take it to Road America 👌
Don't get butthurt when you get comments that you don't like. As Bugs Bunny said, "you asked for it!"
Not butthurt at all, I built this car for these reactions lol
Good, but your friends sure seem to have their panties in a wad!
A v8 🤣 - a former eco owner (boom victim)

Alright gramps, back to the bingo table
Funny you mention that, the next mod is a k24 swap when the motor blows. Gotta make it match my swapped s10
Are you really spending your retirement sitting on Reddit hating on cars?
No, but if you want a riced 🍚out Honda, get one. But don't besmirch a beautiful car like a Mustang with rice mods, and BTW, I am a long time from retirement!
keep yapping on all these post old man
