Hey everybody! In this video we install some new parts on a 2002 Ford Mustang GT and show you a before and after on the dyno. Visit our website at www.hitechmotorsport.com or give us a call at (763) 712-9088.
Now, this is how you make a video! You take your time, do before and after, explain what you did and that's it. No need to make 15 videos to show little progress. You start the video, get stuff done, get the results, edit into one video and that's it. No nonsense, no click bait. Unlike other guys that will click bait every time the plan or think about doing something. Thanks Bart!! You tube needs you!!
Got to love the countless how-to's. Nobody is here to learn from a 20something year old Noob on how to install your forged-billet casted steel alloy Ebay bolt-on's but thanks for the poor camera work and 17 minute one take step by step guide to failure. I love you.
Bart i wish you all the best. I think you will be a huge success with youtube. Great personality and very informative without being boring. Too bad i live in new york and can't give you the business. Keep up with the videos you will grow im no time! I mean subscribers not your height!
The true new HP peak was ~231rwhp once you remove the "shark fin" spike of the torque converter lock up. Both sets of dyno numbers were STD correction. Divide by 1.025 to get SAE correction and the results would be: Stock: 211.6rwhp/250.0rwtq SAE or ~264.4hp/312.5lbft at the crank Bolt ons: 225.4rwhp/257.7rwtq SAE or ~281.8hp/321.1lbft at the crank
I have a 97 gt 5 speed with 82000 miles that I got from my late uncle and it has an x on the vin so I know its a winsor car im courently changing the headgaskets and other gaskets As Well. Wachting this video just motivates me even more to get it back and running so I can continue with the mods.
I only watch tallguy cause he spends a lot of time there and you're well versed in performance and straight with people about what a waste most things are in the end. Keep it up.
Amazing vid Bart! Love all the knowledge you give us. The 2V 4.6L is a great platform for power and reliability. I have 2 that are both over 200k+ miles and still run great. I want to do a complete rebuild to get more ponies in my P71.
Very nice video. My '01 GT auto with very similar mods did 260/299 on a Mustang brand dyno, so it may just be a difference in brands. But these cars do pick up nice gains with more air.
Excellent video. im just finishing up my 4.6 4v swap and was starting to worry about finding a good tuner until i heard you say "elk river". ive never been so glad i live in Blaine!
This was an excellent video, I wish I could have done business with Hi-Tech motorsports, I placed an order for a set of the stage 2 cams for my 2v GT, the day after I placed it, after some spirited driving I lost compression in cylinder 3, turned out to have needed a head gasket, with compression leaking into cylinder 2. Unfortunately had to cancel my order with Hi-Tech which was the worst experience. I was told I have no idea what I'm talking about and that its impossible to have a head gasket failure in a 2v 4.6. After nearly 4 years as a Master Certified Ford tech, I guess I didnt have any idea what I was talking about. Terrible disrespect to a customer. Went with Cushman motorsports stage 2 cams during the rebuild of my 4.6.
Great video! very informative! I was told not long ago to get rid off the aftermarket cold air intake and put back the stock one because the air filter was right next to engine sucking the hot air instead of sucking the air under the fender. It took me a while to find a stock CAI. I don't feel the difference not even the sound.
I've watched about 20 of your videos so far, since I discovered your channel a few days ago. Great stuff and awesome seeing a big MN yt Channel! Id love to have you do a coyote in my 2006 Mercury
Loved your video. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with me. Do you know someone in the Dallas Texas area that does the same level of work your shop does?
when i had my 1999 mustang GT, i ran a 70mm th body, mac long tube headers with 3 in collectors, 3 in mac power chamber no cats, ported upper intake plen, FRPP underdrive pulleys, 24 lb injectors, 4.10 gears, Ported 80mm mass air, K&N open element filter, Super Chips tune for 100 oct fuel.. 310 hp with a Auto and a 3000 stall and a transgo shiftkit. Key is the plugs, copper 1 step hotter. custom gap.
Holy hell dude I love this video LOL "It's all nice stuff made by Chinese kids making $3 an hour" Plus very informative for folks who have never been to a dyno or understand AFR and Wheel HP vs Crank HP. Sure wish I had seen this about 12yrs ago.
Loved the "DON'T do it like this" portion!! 😲😝😄 I've seen more of those in my lifetime... I'm a Retired Ford Line Tech and Engine Builder of 35+ years. So I'm glad that after seeing this, I can now run a Dyno!! 😋 I thoroughly enjoyed this, and your Shop! Being partially Disabled, there's too many things I can't do anymore. One is Rearends, which I used to be pretty good at... Just for grins, I'd like a rough estimate of how much it would be to do a Ring & Pinion, Auburn Posi Diff, Bearings and Seals on a 2001 Mustang GT. My parts... I'm asking because I'm stuck in Tucson, and my best estimate, for something I used to be able to do, is between $650 and $800! That CAN'T be right!!! 😤😖 It seems like it would be cheaper for me to drive to Minnesota, and have YOU do it! It can't be that much, can it? Carmine 🚂🚙
I'm going to find the rest of this, to see what she makes. I know to a lot of hardcore, old school guys, which I am one... The "little Mustang" is kind of a toy. Since owning mine, and doing the little bolt-on mods, for a purely Street Car, it's very impressive. Decent power (with the 5-Speed), drivable Torque, even though Kids can't seem to keep them on the road!! And that 4.6 2V has been a rock solid, dependable Motor! Ford only created problems for it when for whatever reason, on the Romeo built Engines, they thought that 2-1/2 threads to hold the Spark Plugs in the damn Heads!!! 😖 Oh, then in 04, they went to the 3V Heads, put them in the Mustangs, and for the first time - the 4.6 had reliability issues!! For an extra 40BHP... Still, try not to discount the 4.6 altogether. If you want something quick, that can also go 250,000-300,000, it's a great choice!
03 mustang gt convertible, bbk tuned length (shorty) heads, slp x pipe, slp loudmouth cat backs, sr cold air intake. I'd love to get a throttle body, plenum, and a tune. Stopped doing performance and did a few visual mods. I'd save for a newer 5.0 before any more performance parts, it already sounds great and will never be "fast" for todays standards
I've got a 2000 Grand Marquis, NPI 4.6. I want to add power across the rev range, so I'm starting with TFS Twisted Wedge 44cc heads and Stainless Works long tube headers - the only ones I can find that fit my Panther. Other than the factory PI intake, I can't find anything for my rig that works with a driver-side intake. With your experience with the 4.6, what would you recommend?
Fun stuff. Really like that busted safety glass, good warning to keep around. One thing annoyed me though. I do wish people would quit assigning whatever random percentage to driveline losses. It takes a fixed amount of power to spin a gearbox at a given speed. If you have a 200 HP engine and lose 40 HP to the drivetrain, that's 20%. But if you bolt on a blower and double the engine power to 400 HP it doesn't magically take 80 HP to turn the drivetrain now. It will still take the same 40 HP it took originally. The whole percentage thing started as a way for parts manufacturers to weasel out of their claimed power gain numbers when dynos showed their parts weren't producing the power they were supposed to. Your transmission does not get stickier when you mash the nitrous.
Thanks for the excellent video. Did you put the LT’s and cam on? If so, is there a follow on video. I have an ‘02 GT with a manual trans and am especially interested.
the 4.6 2v needs stage 2 cmas, cold air, throttle body and plenum. The long tubes are worth another 15-20, but they are a pain in the butt to do. Add 373 gears for \more punch.
I bought a 03 Mustang GT and the girl has a tune on it 373 gears and something done to the transmission and cold air intake with stock throttle body. I want to put a bbk throttle body on top it so just wondering what size I should go with
In reference to performing dyno's with maybe not so bright of kids present -- 4:10 "stick their head in the engine compartment and see what's goin on...now that would of killed somebody or hit em in the crotch and they wished they were dead..."" lol! good stuff, excellent video!
Bart if you read this I gotta ask you a question I ask all the time. How do you feel about daily driving a vehicle with a muffler delete? Good or bad for the vehicle?
I dunno about real numbers and hard data but it seems that as long as you dont mind the drone it won't hurt anything the stock exhaust manifold and cats should create enough back pressure to not burn valves /not that thats really going to happen anyways\ but take this with a grain of salt I'm just a backyard mechanic haha
It also allows for flex and movement of the engine. When you apply torque to the drive-train the engine will twist, the rubber humps allow for this, among other reasons.
