That’s just a random pic of a twin turbo 5.0L. Im well aware of that. Others are insisting it's a Ford project which it is clearly not.

Regardless, the OEMs have to get the catalytic converters hot very fast to meet start up emissions. The turbo needs to mounted as close to the exhaust ports as possible... with at cats right behind. There's a lot of pipe between the exhaust ports and cats on the Hellion kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None on either turbo on the Hellion kitted car. That engine (and the turbos) wouldn't last 3 months in a daily sucking constant dirt.

MadManMoon Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 3 hours ago, coupe3w said: And as far as the doing the turbo part of it, couldn't that be done on a niche line? The Niche Line is at Romeo Engine Plant, not Flat Rock Assembly. And while the engine could be assembled there, it still needs to fit into the car on the production line at FRAP.

He was implying it wasn't a street car because of things that were missing (on the engine photo which isn't even a mach 1 engine). It's all moot anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys completely misunderstood. That engine pic was in response to the statement that twin turbos would not fit under the hood of a 5.0L mustang.

Back to regular SUV production. Carry on. Of course it could be done - just not easily. Besides, twin turbos would put it in GT500 territory which is way above where Mach 1 would sit in the lineup anyway. The whole twin turbo tangent was confusing and not really relevant to Mach 1.

I said there's a difference between doing it in your garage and on the assembly line. I'm not saying it can't be done at all, it's just going to take some creative packaging and engineering to accomplish. It can be done, they had to get VERY creative with the GT500 to be able to properly cool the engine and transmission, I'm just not sure in the final year or 2 of S550 they want to put that much more into the platform.

You're arguing about twin turbos on a Mach 1 that clearly won't have twin turbos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT90SC Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 23 hours ago, coupe3w said: Can you understand English? Ok. The only Hellion cars I've seen are ones that got poorly swapped back to stock and trailered in, hoping that the piston fragments, wrist pins, and rod parts in the pan coupled with the obvious extremely recent PCM reprogramming would fly under warranty. I had no idea how they were actually supposed to be installed, and I have seen plenty of 'tuner' cars without them installed, ever. I figured they had a tube stretched out of the engine compartment to not heat soak the air entering the compressor housing, but I was wrong. Thank you for being so kind and understanding of me asking a simple question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzymoomoo Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I would take zero stock in the Bullitt interior elements myself, they're probably just using that as a starting point so there wasn't any need to change the interior bits. The mechanicals are probably the bulk of the changes that need testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
