Figured I would share it here on the install. Their is a few articles being done but the one on my car is being released by STANGTV. Some issues with the time frame but its finally being wrapped up. I wont go into full end results as they have the rights to it. I just wanted to explain the install because people are starting to get them now.
Again.. this is only tech info so please do not ask me for power gains. This manifold is available.
I will say this... THIS IS NOT BUILT FOR THE CAR AND NEVER WILL BE. IT'S ONLY FOR THE ENGINE ITSELF. This was tested on a 2015 N/A Mustang GT.
This one you see in the picture was the first one tested on a N/A coyote for Holley. It took us weeks to get everything figured out and set up because Holley did not have the info. It was stressful but myself along with Power By The Hour Performance, Lethal Performance Inc, Lund Racing, and my work (UPR Products), we got it ironed out.
Ill start by saying is that it's not going to be a drop in hook up stock stuff and go. Their is some key items that you NEED TO KNOW about this manifold. First is that it is not the same as the LS ones they make. The body is a sheet metal frame with cast runners. It is not going to bow under higher BAR rating.
Now with installation, I added some UPR Adjustable motor mounts to mine because I wanted to make sure their was no height issues as Holley claimed would to be on the stock hood. The manifold does sit about an inch lower than the boss or CJ. As you can see in the picture, it sits lower then the strut tower brace perfectly. This will be the same on a S197. Now... here is the important parts you NEED to know. This will not work with the stock fuel rails and the fuel rails they provide will not connect to the factory fuel line. You will need a fuel line adapter AND NO ONE MAKES IT FOR PIPE THREAD. I say again.. this will not work with a pipe thread rails they provide. For mine, we teamed with Lethal Performance and their Division X line. They had everything to make it work perfectly with the stock line connections. You can go to their site to get them. A kit is already put together.
When we were were actually installing it, we noticed some changed had to be made to the vacuum system. They have a vacuum block built into the belly of the manifold where you can now re route everything. I added a longer hose for the UPR catch can and PBH re-did the vacuum lines and brake booster connection. They knew how to make it work with the factory lines to run like it is meant too. This will also help with tuning. You will have to buy your own fittings though. They do not provide this.
With the Throttle body. unless you have a mechanical one which 98% of the people here do not, you WILL NEED an adapter plate which is made by Power By The Hour. This plate will allow for you to use the stock throttle body. You can see in the picture what it looks like. To get this, you can call Power By The Hour. It does not come with the manifold.
When the article was written, it had a jlt intake on it which fit just fine, Due to extremely high IATs, I swapped to an Airaid which solved that issue. You will need the angled silicone to make this work. Jon Lund Jr. was the first to tune this on a street car and I will say that he NAILED it quickly. Drive ability is stock. (Again, please don't' ask me about what it made)
I hope this information helped. I just want people to know where to get parts to make this work for your Mustang. I will answer any tech questions though. Now that it is on the market, People need to know what is involved. To sum it up... You will need: Fuel Rails with a stock line adapter, Vacuum lines, PCV / Catch Can Hose, Throttle body plate, possible intake silicone and Tuning.
My end results.. you will spend less then doing a BOSS or CJ swap and no cutting of the hood. I am very happy with it. Now.. is it the end all be all.... no. But its a great swap and it does make good power. Once the article is released, I can then post up other graphs comparing it as well.
