Coyote 5.0L swap in a Ford GT....Huh?!?!

[me32]

Call it a hunch, but I'd bet he's not hurting financially

ill agree with that.

 

[HEMI LOL]

maybe he blew up the 5.4, and wants to race it in a class that doesnt sanction boost?

hes a ford engineer, which makes me as a coyote owner kinda giddy. its interesting to say the least.

Some wrong info about the sc5.4 in the ford GT in this thread. Yes it had 12pounds of boost from the factory, but the factory 550 crank hp rating wasn't even close. I remember numerous stock GT's dyno close to 540hp AT THE WHEELS. This car is in fact a 600hp car out of the box.

I'm sure a couple of ford gt owners on this site can back that up.

well what do you expect when its a car most can never own, there lack of knowledge on the car seems to also be much less.

We beg to differ! There is not a single Ford Gt twin turbo that can outrun the MMR Twin turbo Coyote in the 1/4 mile. The MMR coyote made 2081HP on the dyno and ran a 7.02 @ 202 MPH

Didn't the 5.4 go faster in the same car than the coyote? I thought it toiched the 6's?

They have gone 6.0's with a 5.4 based engine, and it made much more than 2080 HP.

MMR, I am pretty sure that you guys know that compression for compression, a little headwork, and some custom cams.....the FGT engine is much more capable. :beer:

I'll take a FGT engine any day, over a Coyote. ;-)

11.1 Compression, CNC Port, Cams.....and easily over 500 rwhp on 93 Octane....without having to spin to the moon.

Would be awesome if this engineer was helping ford figure out the next ford super car:beer:

 

[BUCKET]

Well I would give up my TT boss for a stock FGT

Correct, the Coyote was .003 slower in the 1/4 mile, our point was that the coyote engine platform is just as capable. :beer:

Only because of the engine size, a coyote @ 5.8 Liters is another story (theoretical of course). Both are great powerplants and no one has proven that better than our company. :beer:

What did the standing mile record FGT TT make?

no idea...likely the same HP as the MMR coyote

How fast did the TT ford GT go in the 1/4 mile?

 

[90goldtsiawd]

No idea. It went 267 in the mile. I thought I read that car made over 2xxxwhp too?

 

[Modular Racing]

No idea. It went 267 in the mile.

Since the MMR coyote, went 202 in just 1/4 of a mile it only needs to pick up 65mph in the other 3/4 mile - doesnt seem like to much of a task LOL! :beer:

When you guys gonna test that theory?

 

[corruptor]

Since it's owned by a Ford engineer, maybe its a pet project/mule for a potential new FGT? One can dream, but that's usually how these types of halo cars start.

 

[nonliberal]

My buddies ford gt made 628 rwhp with a throttle body, exhaust and 16#'s of boost.

Yep and Coyotes do better than that with just 10 psi boost from a TVS on pump gas.

At the same time there blowing up. No fgt is blowing up at the power.

 

[CPRsm]

Doesn't a FGT have h beams and will do 1000rwhp pretty reliably?

 

[Modular Racing]

When you guys gonna test that theory?

When a FGT beats the little coyote in the quarter mile. :beer:

Correct. :beer:

Can't penalize the 5.4 based engine due to the fact it is larger, and can be made much larger. ;-)

As for flow, doesn't a set of worked FGT heads outperform a worked Coyote head? Without even changing valves?

If I had deeper pockets, I'd rock a 5.4 FGT based engine, NA, making 750+ HP......on pump gas. Of course, the crankshaft alone would cost $4000. :cryying:
