Fpv To Supercharge New 5.0-Litre V8 To Give Ford A Power Boost To Riva

[ratter]

Thing is though the 6T's will always be cheaper and easier to modify to get more hp.

Why?

fit an itercooler, change the pulley size and a tune and probably a lot more power on tap, it is reported that the motor will make power a lot higher in the rev range than what ford has it set to at the momment, so maybe ford has left a little more up it's sleeve for future models.

Car mags reliable source I know seem to suggest it runs 0.1 bar less boost, so may be a slightly larger pulley. Could once again easily be fixed by buying a GT pulley & custom tune. Man they are going to struggle to clear old stock and used prices of the 5.4L is going to plummet haha.

Is it true the GS will be 315kw's?

The drive train and engine on the GS is identical to the GT. The only difference between the two is in the tune. GS is 315kw/545Nm and GT is 335kw/570Nm. So potentially the GS should see bigger gains with a tune only.

Both engines are limited to 6000rpm, while the NA 5.0 makes peak power around 7000rpm. Will be interesting to see what tune only gains area achieved.

Also the GS only gets XR6T spec brakes.

Fuel use was measured using the official method and was mid 13's I think. Again, not bothering to dig up the link from the other forum

One review mentions:

We didn’t really drive for long enough at the launch to get a real-world fuel economy figure.

The computer showed 15L/100km after the car was given a hard workout – not too bad at all.

ok edit again, couldn't help myself

GS is 315kw and according to my Ford buddy, you can hardly tell the difference between the two.

Ratter is correct, the 20kw difference is in the Calibration alone, apparently there is quite a bit of headroom..

Oh, that particular car, with the leather, blah, blah, is a touch under 80k.

The GS will be a good base for the modders..

Fark that sounds horn.

[Guest EGOXRT]

Dags, go drive one when you can!

[JETURBO]

nice bit of gear this unit

Buy the NA & do your own supercharger kit.

Then new 5.0 motor is a good starting point, apparently can rev a lot higher than the 5.4 used to.

I just see that alot of the Supercharged V8's need more $$$ thrown at them to get the same KW as people are getting from the 6T's.

Maybe its different with this engine I dunno but only time will tell.

Hope im wrong as the car in the video sounds like an aural orgasm.
