aiboart Member 665 Member For: 19y 11m 9d Posted 14/01/10 09:29 AM Share Posted 14/01/10 09:29 AM Mr Hinds indicated that both methods of boosting had their advantages.“In a true performance aspect, turbochargers do require a certain amount of time to spool up. For all-out performance, a supercharger has an instantaneous response. It is more of a racer’s approach to solving that problem,” he said.Mr Hinds then went on to discuss the fuel economy sacrifices common with supercharging.

bunna Donating Members 813 Member For: 18y 3m 29d Posted 14/01/10 10:23 PM Share Posted 14/01/10 10:23 PM So the bloke that wrote this article has asked a couple of US engineers what they think of supercharging, and turned that into a "scoop". What a crock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you do for an encore? Depending on what they do and seeing this thread about the Coyote, I might be tempted back to an 8 on next replacement.

I could just believe a low boost version making 315kW but a hipo would want to be making 350+kW. And how does a blown V8 only make the same numbers as a turboed 4l.Where does this leave the F6?Still looking forward to the potential 100kg weight saving the Coyote V8 brings and hopefully the SC system doesn't add 50kg straight back on.

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 15/01/10 03:08 AM Share Posted 15/01/10 03:08 AM Ford needs to go back to it's roots here I think.Keep the XR range simple and basic, light weight and only a few options, then you could keep the n/a6, 6T and give the 8 some oomph with the real motor.Then you could have the FPV range as it was when it started, same power or a little more, but with all the bells and whistles, and exclusive bumps and buldges.Why FPV doesn't ADR one with 20"x 30's or 35's exclusive to FPV has me baffled, expecially as they are making a new upper control arm anyway. They would have to make the GS the new XR. The GS is not different enough to be a FPV really for mine. That way the XR8 could keep it's cred.

Paulie2256 Donating Members 7,441 Member For: 16y 1m 2d Gender: Male Location: SE Melbourne Posted 15/01/10 01:03 PM Share Posted 15/01/10 01:03 PM Firstly,keeping the power figure low is a smart move IMO. No doubt hsv will just increase capacity to compete. All fpv have to do is increase boost. That engine has a lot more in it than 325 however if they give you 400 then hsv will release 401kw and so on. Secondly, numbers mean nothing. This engine is a lot lighter than the current boss. So who cares what kilawasps the car has when it will already destroy anything from hsv and a million times better to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
