Title: Any update on the AWD?
Post by: adelsin on January 23, 2014, 11:04:53 AM
I'm still holding out on mods hoping for more power in the rear. Any update on this?

You'll need a better excuse than that not to mod.

He needs a better excuse not to mod than waiting for more power to the rear wheels.

Maybe sooner.....  :P  at 600WHP several stock parameters like fuel, seem to become pretty limiting... BUT........ there's so much to have fun doing!

I like to near 50/50 split stock offers.  Plus, I domt want to deal removing stuff everytime I go in for an Oil change.

I like the thinking.  However, if memory serves, the rear drive unit is only rated about 125HP and intended primarily to be used by advancetrac and torque vectoring................... to save us from ourselves I guess. LOL

So is it more than gearing or programming?  i'd think someone would have done it if the components can take it?

 Its the electronic coupler thats rated for 600hp. Not the rear diff.

OIC now... Need a stronger rear drive unit entirely.

Just a hunch could, Mustang or F-150 work for a rear swap?

If I had an infinite amount of funds, I would pull the entire drive train out of an SHO and replace it with a longitudinal ecoboost with a 6 speed manual converted to RWD with Ford 9" rear end with 4:10 gears and Mickey Thompson  slicks.

It would be much  easier to find an older Mustang just drop the engine and trans in it. That is what I would do, I wonder how well this motor would work in a Fox Body, I bet it would be a v6 terror with the light body of the Fox.

The 2013 Mustang transmissions will built up to it... however, I think it might have problems handling the v6 torque numbers.

If I had infinite funds, I would add a GT500 to my collection.  For starters.
