Three times the price of a Whipple, but you get a cool Blow off valve. Another thing to think about- do you also have to buy the FenFab intake in order for the dual charge pipes to fit? Because that would raise the price by another $1k. Looks like presents for your car, but hey think of the...

I should add one other important point. The ST uses a "blow through" throttle body (TB)- meaning the air is already pressurized before going through the TB. A bit of checking will show how popular larger TBs are with the supercharged crowd. That's because they are pulling in atmospheric air...

As long as we're on the subject, what about horsepower? Engines run on mass airflow- the actual mass of the air; which for our example we'll use cubic ft of air in pounds (lbs). At STD temp and pressure (68 degrees F at 14.7 psi or sea level) 1 cubic foot of air weighs .075 lbs. If we take...

If anyone is interested (since it isn't my thread), you can see info here: https://www.explorerst.org/threads/throttle-bodies-cfm-and-mass-airflow.3163/post-39192

There was recently a thread about larger throttle bodies for the ST. I wanted to address this in a comprehensive way for those interested (Must be more than just me!) First, let's talk about airflow in terms of Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) vs Mass Airflow. CFM is a VOLUME measurement; it...

Car and Driver's review of a 2020 netted 13.8 at 101.

If someone tells me the diameter of the ST throttle body, I'll be glad to to the demonstrate the math behind my posts.

I understand what you're saying, but you're still missing the point. A small amount of additional air density by increasing the turbo psi (air density) will far exceed a few more millimetres of throttle body diameter. Once again, if you have an N/A vehicle, enlarging a restrictive throttle...

I also have an inclined driveway and my car is pointed uphill whenever I park. I've owned the ST for 18 months now and have never encountered any smoking issues.

De nada (Google translate isn't much help)

He is working with BoostKing via SCT for a custom 93 octane tune. The results are excellent as is BoostKing's customer service. He has also tuned the trans shifting

That's an interesting feature, and a neat use of the tech. I doubt it's something that could be enabled on the ST.

Good to know. Thanks for the answer.

Just curious, what happened to the car?

I couldn't see contents of the link- that was all I could find with google detective work. OP should update.

I don't have a facebook account- nor will I. Nevertheless, knock yourself out https://www.facebook.com/100368021545863/posts/custom-intercooler-and-charge-pipes-available-from-voodoo-autosport-ran-150mph-t/168443551404976/

The street pack brakes are actually pretty damn good. I did some looking awhile back, and the 70-0 distance (161 ft) are equivalent to some pretty nice performance cars (Bugatti Chiron, 2019 Audi RS 6 and 2006 Corvette Z06!) But that's stopping one time. On a track, heat soak is the enemy...

Just to illuminate further, a throttle body bolts onto a manifold that has a fixed input diameter- if you have a 60mm manifold opening, adding an 80mm throttle body isn't going to do a thing. In an N/A vehicle, which is basically supercharged by gravity, and therefore at sea level limited to...

I've got a beautiful TB with twin 2.5" intakes. I'll take $500 for it. Shipping's on you. Seriously, a throttle body, (unless it's ridiculously undersized) in a turbo'd vehicle is not going to net any great HP gains...regardless of what any vendor tells you.

Just an FYI, Livernois is also about to offer an intercooler: https://fordauthority.com/2021/10/ford-3-0l-ecoboost-v6-intercooler-coming-from-livernois-motorsports-sema-2021/ Still waiting for the Mishimoto version to surface.
