AN NA coyote of some sort.. 5.4 is not emmision compliant anymore... so no more are being built or sold as new anymore APART from those built before the cut off date.. |

From what we have heard, the XR8 is doomed and more than likely will be replaced by this GS machine?

A few weeks ago i had a little chat with a bloke named Rob, he said he already had a cooler kit designed and ready for sale.
And so the fun shall begin. Brett

Would be room price wise if they did, keeping it in the low to mid 40s. One can ponder more linkages http://ninemsn.carpoint.com.au/news/2010/large-passenger/ford/falcon/export-hopes-for-falcon-supercharged-v8-21418?intref=ed-news

Brett have heard of another SC coyote application form a later date that was designed with an intercooler attached.. 351 KW 600NM GT-H Perhaps? |

Good luck launching this on 245 tyres

yeah it's such a shame that wheels and tyres aren't easily replaced.

Same point as flash tuning an XR6T - easily done but thats not what comes from factory. It'll put down poor 0-100 times and 1/4 times for the power it has.

And even then I'm sure harrop or someone would design a w2a intercooler for them. What are people winding up their supercharged V6 commodore engines up to without coolers? 10-12psi? sure, but then its not 'just' a pulley upgrade  and sure as hell won't be cheap. the supercharged V6 motors probably run lower compression then the coyote, completely different ballgame. I'm sure there will be some movement without a cooler, but its all speculation until someone does it. Its not all about compression and boost. Too many other variables these days. At uni we ran a 12:1 compression engine with 12-15psi boost with a tiny A2A cooler and it never ever pinged. Combustion chamber design is where its at these days. And I believe coyote is far enough ahead of the old technology that many tuners will have to rethink their strategies in terms of limiting factors.

I think these new V8's might be quicker than the F6, they around 130kg lighter than the 5.4l v8
