Hey guys, Pat back again with silly questions

Anyway, been lurkin and reading and have seen that x's seem to respond rediculously well to just simple bolt ons, so I just have a few silly questions to ask this time with this thread please bare with me mods

1) is 400AWHP achievable through just simple bolt ons? Or will a bigger turbo\injectors\fuel pump be needed to put down 400 or just short of it?

2) If it is possible, what are the best mods to make to easily achieve this power band?

My thoughts were:

AMS RAM INTAKE
AMS TURBO BACK EXHAUST W\ TEST PIPE
AMS UICP
AMS LICP
some type of boost control solenoid, possibly a BOV
tune by someone experienced like ams or khunol (probablly butchered his name)

I really like the ams intake and whenever i man up and decide to say **** the warranty the intake will likely be my first mod, looking around i usually see intakes giving about 15-20 extra hp for most x owners without a tune. However, AMS's intake is quite pricey but in the description they claim to get 45 hp gain without even a tune, which if it is true would be a great deal for 400 bucks. But i must ask....is that just a load of horse ****? Because their ams exhaust they claim a gain of about 25 hp without tune, so an intake with a K&N filter\cone will give you a better hp boost then a turboback ehxaust? Because the AMS intake is in all honesty just a pipe with a K&N filter on it yet they claim the most hp out of any other intake ive read up on.

Thanks so much for the recent help guys, gotten great help from many of you and am lovin the X community so far!!

400 awhp on a Mustang Dyno will only be achievable with an aftermarket turbo and supporting mods. You can get close with e-85/stock turbo though.

For the intake, you might consider the AEM intake because you get a CARB legal sticker with it. I went with AEM intake on my car. It’s basically the same thing as the AMS intake, but it has a box around it, which is also good to eliminate the engine heat. I removed the cover on the box to improve airflow.

If you’re looking for power don’t forget to upgrade the fuel pump and injectors. I recommend not maxing out the stock fuel system.

As for the warranty, my car was on the dyno with mods installed when I only had 2k miles on it.

We would be happy to assist you in reaching your goals. We have done some nice 400awhp+ Daily Driver Evo X's on our resume. Give us a call, we love talking cars, especially Evos!!!

Cheers,

My 2011 GSR has full bolt on, Exhaust, cold air, FMIC and with stock turbo it made 347 wheel, Then I installed the MAP EF2 turbo and on pump gas it made 447 wheel 415 TQ. Much better now.

Sounds like you will need a turbo to make your goal of 400 happen from what my car as gone threw.

Nice numbers. Was it on 92 octane?

I am also aiming to make at least 450 awhp with whatever mods are needed to achieve this but, I want to look and sound stock. In other words, I want my exhaust to be quiet as possible... A sleeper X

Subscribed.

logs?

Had to be 100 octane or e85 to get that high with just an ef2 and thats still iffy. and a big maybe with a dynojet.

As for op. You will need to get a bigger turbo (the bigger you go the easier your goal will be attained but the later your turbo will spool).

Here is a set up "manual" for you.

Thats my problem, the subaru had huge lag and I love the instant power my car has now...I'd hate to spool later then 2,5k :/

And Robert from boostin, Im great friends with Marcelo with the blue bugeye so I will definitely be calling you guys soon

Any turbo that will easily make 400 whp on pump gas is going to spool at 3500-4000

The EF2 spools as close to stock as you can get and will get you over the 400hp mark.

looks like billy may's setup is ideal for what im looking for! however, something like that wont be happening until my warranty goes out so i guess back to the question about best bang for the buck for simple bolt ons and what type of power gain can i expect :/

-Pat

best bang for the buck and to stay warranty friendly.
Drop-in filter, UICP, LICP, CBE, with a tune. Very possible to hit 320ish awhp on a dynojet

Are u referring EF2 can only get 400hp on crank or in wheels

EF2 can produce up to 450 Whp. (e85/race gas)

Go big or go home brah!!!!!!!
