4v here. Really enjoying seeing the New Edges finally getting the respect they deserve. Some roll up your sleeves kinda work is all it takes to make them a rocketship, most people arent that committed to modding a car unless they feel its worth it. Great for a hurt-your-feelings mobile in a world of scat packs and 10 speed coyotes.

[@midnight347]

Turbo is more efficient so you can run more power without seeing any more stress. You can get away with higher power levels with a turbo setup. Many people don't realize this. Your power level with a turbo would be like 430-450 rwhp stress wise because the turbo doesn't take power to make power so you're getting more power without seeing any more stress. That's what appropriately sized turbo will make more than a blower for each boost level.

[@midnight347]

Nobody cares about flywheel hp lmao. I hate when ppl estimate flywheel hp. Real car people don't give a hoot about flywheel power and the ones that don't understand the difference don't even matter lol.

[@FWDSUXARSE]

I'm so glad I bought a New Edge. The way mustang guys talked about it, I was shocked to learn that you can add a good chunk of power for relatively cheap. I plan to get an S550 or maybe an S650 depending on if costs ever come down but for now, I'm going to build up my New Edge to have fun. Great video

[@midnight347]

It's coyote guys mainly that shit on anything that isn't a coyote. For the money a 2v can be made competitive in today's world without fully building the entire car contrary to popular belief. There was alot of fast fords running around before the coyote existed

[@midnight347]

I have an 02 GT I fell in love with a few years back when it seemed like no one was driving them or loving the 2V. I just bought another 03 and I absolutely love these cars. They seem to be gaining popularity quick as where the fox body’s stole the light for awhile like decades lol. BTW is that coolant reservoir the DNA motoring one? If so how has it been?

[@RatchetWrenches]

They really have awesome potential when you put in the work and they look and sound incredible! Couldn't agree more. The coolant reservoir is a Moroso it's been great no issues. Quality of the welds and fitment is perfect. Would highly recommend

Honestly if we're talking a fox body I prefer the Thunderbird, followed by the Cougar, and lastly the Mustang. Anything you can do to a fox body Mustang you can do to the Thunder Cougar twins and I just personally prefer those, although I might be partial to the Thunderbird since I've owned 3.

[@FWDSUXARSE]

I had an 01 and 03 GT the last 17 years. Wound up getting hit by a drunk driver in the 03 which totaled it. Took the insurance company payout and bought a 98 Trans Am to replace it. I'm really happy with the TA but when my rear end inevitably goes (junk 10 bolt), I'm getting an 8.8 out of a Mustang to replace it. Loved my Mustangs, also had a non PI motor 4.6 97 Thunderbird that I wound up swapping a PI intake manifold on when the factory intake manifold cracked. Had to do some modifications but otherwise it helped HP and torque along with a tune, a Cai, port and polished throttle body, some tokico shocks, cat back exhaust, and high flow cats. Mod motors sound amazing done right.

[@FWDSUXARSE]

03 was full bolt on when I bought it but the stock LS1 when I first bought my car still seemed stronger. I've since done numerous modifications to the TA so the gap widened even more. But I still have a soft spot for the 2v 99-04 GT

I had the option to go with a custom assembled kit. My local speed shop came back with a quote of like 8500 dollars. Don't remember the specifics. But I ended up going with a Vortech V3. Car made 392 to the tire on 14 LBS with a snow performance kit, non intercooled. I'm very pleased with it, it's fun to drive and I still get great fuel economy if I decide to take it to work. But I've hit the same wall as you, the stock pistons. This winter I plan on keeping the stock block but running all forged internals and a windage tray.

[@RatchetWrenches]

That's pretty steep price but it sounds like you made the right call! Those V3's are sick and make good power! Throw an intercooler on there and you'll be even happier so will your IAT"s lol. But yes I plan on doing the same thing as my winter project. Going full send

Perfect example of why paying 35,000 for a new edge cobra is crazy. If you bought a 2v before the insane price hikes. Probably got it for around 4,000. Add a kit like this for another 5,000. Then you are around 435 hp to the rear wheels. Compare that to 395 hp to the crank on factory cobra. So you are smoking the =÷××÷ out of any factory cobra and still have 26,000 in the bank for NOT buying a cobra. Not knocking the cobra. I love all new edges... even the v6.

You'll need a tubular k-member to make this kit work since the exhaust on the passenger side goes through the actual k-member. On3 built their kit around the UPR k-member, a-arms and coil over kit which is what I'm running. No issues so far. There is also Team Z which is a good brand

[@hotrodlincoln7186]

Hey, just wanted to say I love your set up. I've been thing alot on boosting my town car. But, a co-work was recommended turbo. Oh, not sure if your car is drive by wire or spring. If it's drive by wire. I was going to recommended for you to try jms pedalmax. It doesn't mess with any tune that you may have. It just piggy backs to your throttle pedal. Trust me, it makes a huge difference. I have mine on 75% and it's super responsive. I watched alot of KZbin videos on it and thought they where just over Exaggerating. But, it's the best 250.00 bucks i spent.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thank you! And yeah turbo has more advantages over a supercharger IMO but the superchargers are perfect for instant power. Interesting I'll have to take a look into it. Usually the turbo spools quick enough for me

[@rydazim]

Seems like a smaller turbo is needed. Very shift you’re dropping out of boost. I know this is an older video and you’ve built the motor since then, but I think a smaller turbo would work better for that application.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Yeah it definitely fell on it's face between shifts. I have a smaller but more efficient turbo this go around and also much higher compression so I think it'll be way quicker!

[@rydazim]

Heck yea man. I’m looking forward to the update. I just got a 99 GT that I threw a bunch of drift goodies at. It’s a bit sluggish at the moment since I’m used to my 07 350z. I think with a few bolt ons this thing could actually be better than my Z. I learned a lot about this chassis from your videos. Thanks man

7.5 was the max

[@misterbulger]

@@RatchetWrenches That's enough for a good time without getting to wild. Thanks for the video! Mine is so good NA my issue would be id have to stop driving it to complete the project LOL. They keep giving me a company vehicle then taking it away then giving it back... maybe if they'd make up their minds I could commit to taking it out of service for awhile. I just dropped a bunch of money on my personal work truck just for them to give me a brand new F250 2 days later, but I have a feeling I'll lose it the minute they find a new foreman 🤔. Hows your MPG's now? I average 33mpg right now ha. That's why it turned into a work car. Plus who doesnt love ripping around on the clock?! My personal truck gets 11mpg and is too big to park in the city so it sits for the snow days.

[@P71ScrewHead]

@@RatchetWrenches Well, kinda the same with a Coyote but that engine is just a built 4v Modular n stroked almost to the max.. I think these Mod motors are worth building bcuz the blocks can handle over 1k hp.. Doing anything other than just forged internals n boost is simply to not need to use more lbs of boost to make more power which would generate more heat..

Yep

[@RatchetWrenches]

Nice! And depends what turbo kit you run (Hellion or On3 Performance) but On3 you need a tubular k-member, a arms and coil overs, and slot style MAF. Probably a few other things we made a video on what's needed too

[@stephenbarnes8834]

What gears are you running? I have 410s w fbo and just bought on3 kit, but everyone is saying to run a higher gear ratio.

[@VerticalGamingStudio]

Short gears are there to make up a lack of torque. When you already have boatloads of torque, you don't need the shorter gear. Terminators came with 3.55s. You're likely to light up all of first and second, depending on the quality of tire you run.

@@stephenbarnes8834 you can buy a taller tire would also help gear it down

Dude thee cars rip when they’re boosted. 400whp in a new edge rolls the fuck out. They’re not heavy cars. And with good suspension they handle on rails too.

Exactly! They really do. We got big things planned with this for next year, building the motor soon and ramping up the boost even more.

Nope I stuck with the 373s. I personally enjoyed the gear ratio but I have heard people liking the 355s as well.
