Took these pics at the drift event
and this mustang had an sts system and was said to make in excess of 450whp without an engine mods

SOHC ftl. Props for the STS setup though. I'm a fan of those. Never seen one on a Mustang. Also looks to be a non-intercooled setup...
I believe it. With the STS setup, the piping actually acts as an intercooler, so it really isn't a necessity. Once you add an intercooler, the setup will be running around 95% efficentcy where your typical under the hood turbo + intercooler is MUCH less.
I did a decent amount of research on these kits when I had my G35. I almost let them use my car as a guinea pig for the first G kit but someone beat me to it![]()
So how'd it do? I saw it being trailered away on Sunday.
Mine's the red one.
bada$$ car for sure![]()

i love the remote mount turbo set up those work really well on lt1's i never saw one on a stang it look good.
yes i am....
looks like a beast!
i call bullshit on 450 at the ground through a stock 2v! Cast rods/pistons/crank could not handle that pressure! on top of no supporting mods, except what looks like a possible plenum, tb, intake, and looks like maybe a fuel rail.
though interesting seeing a STS kit on a mustang. looks like an interesting set-up!
Sts kits sound wicked.
saw this at the drift event and it did pretty damn good
Nice.
“When convention and science offer us no answers, might we not finally turn to the fantastic as plausibility?” Spooky
seems like alot of power for stock internals.... not sure how tough mustang's internals are but i doubt that setup will last long lol
i was thinking about doing a rearmount turbo set up for a ka-t once.
FTR!

Doug's probably one of the coolest people you will ever meet as well. His car's insane. He is Gitten's partner for all the Barrett Jackson demos. Wicked car.

That may be true on your Honda though.
Mine's the red one.
He is a nice guy, and there is a build thread of the car over on corral. I believe there are some dyno sheet also.
Nitrous is different. Unless your always running around on it I see a nitrous 450rwhp car lasting all the time. hell my brothers with a mild cam, FULL exhaust, intake manifold, plenum, tb, intake, maf, injectors, fuel rail, pulleys and a 125 shot has lasted for well over 2 years.
No 400rwph for a FI stock 2v is quite common. The MPH Mongoose Kit quarentees 400rwhp all day long. But 450rwhp with a great tune is okay, but past there it becomes a time bomb.
Weird, I have a friend that had a 2.1 KB 2v Kit on his car, he did the install and all the added bolt ons, and had Tim tune it and it ran great. Made somewhere in the mid to high 400's for about 8 months, until he finally lifted the heads about 3/4 the way down the track. But yet like stated before I know nitrous 2v's that have been running 125-150 shots with a good number of bolt ons for awhile with no problems. Guess its the luck of the draw when it comes to Mod Motors!![]()
Neat, guess we'll just agree to disagree because you wont have a problem with a 400 setup on a stock block. Theres a thread on MPH forums with a list of people running safe 400+ setups for years but you've probably already seen it in the 2v section. We can atleast agree that Tim is the fucking man haha![]()

yep, like I said Mach's and cobras have an industry standard for how far you can go before buying yourself a new block.
Cobras are alum blocks with forged crank/rods/pistons, machs are alum blocks with cast rods/pistons and a forged crank. The limit for a safe tune via FI on a stock block is 450-460...anything past there and you will not last long. but most people detune for 420-440!
Well, to play devil's advocate, Pro Line can build a 800hp-stable shortblock for $3600. An older Cobra (99/01) or aged Mach 1 with a Pro Line motor would be a great starting point for some serious numbers! The TR3650 transmission isn't all that strong, however, but could handle ~500rwhp for a while before blowing up.
holy fuck who have you meet that can drive around with a stock 3650 at 500rwhp?
But you are right on the starting points on those cars. MMR sells there FI Stroker 5L 302 Short block good for 900hp for $3299! I know because I should have gotten it when I did my shortblock!![]()
