would love to put a s550 with 650lbs TQ in my garage....
how much boost can we run on this motor with the boss rods and pistons???
- Thread starter klcmcse
- Start date
These cars do not have the Boss pistons. Proper tuning should keep the pistons in check (aside from bad gas).
With proper tuning I expect these engines to perform similarly to the Boss engine, even without the forged pistons.
We are shooting for 700-800rwhp on my 2015 with my twin turbo setup.
Be sure to post some build pics when you get it.
The new engines have a really narrow top ring in them close to the top and are not very boost friendly as far as durability goes. If your talking 6-9 psi with propper tuning you will be fine. If your looking to push things a piston rod upgrade is a must along with some other components.
Already have headers together.
Using the 62mm turbos off my 14gt hellion setup(going 67's on it).
All the rest of the parts are already in or on their way. Doing a simple build with this one, Turbo kit, fuel pumps/injectors, half shafts, circle d torque converter, billet oil pump gears and a few other misc things.

Is the distance from piston face any less than the 11-14 5.0's?
We agree with Livernois, 7-10 psi would be all we would suggest, beyond this you are risking a $1200 block and $3000 heads, if you have any plans to go beyond 10 psi a New Forged shorblock from MMR or Livernois would be suggested, we have them for the 2015 starting at $3799.
Gotta love emissions pistons.

When you describe the ring characteristics on the new 15+ engines, are they similar to the 11-14's?
Is it safe to assume, that although the 11-14 engines aren't the best and most reliable for boost applications - they (11-14) are better than the 15 engine (rings/pistons) ?
Thanks!

I'm sure u understand the whole process, 15lbs seems like built motor and reinforced block territory. It seems the 15+ blocks also are lame ducks just like the 11-14 blocks from what I've heard. As time goes on we learn more and more, honestly the awesom rods suck if the Pistons are going to be weaker than last gen stuff. :/
15 psi with all variables is 800-850ish. This is where I hope to be. My 13 ran 11 psi and E85 for 6000 miles before I built it and went twin turbo. You are right about the rods. Why give us 900hp capable rods and a shitty piston. If the pistons are even slightly better than stock 13 pistons I will risk the boost!
post pics when it grenadesop:
HA HA like the last one THAT NEVER DID.
When you say "the new engines," are you specifically talking about the ones in the '15 Mustang, or all of the Coyote 5.0s in general, from '11-'15?
that what I was thinking
