Geek-A-Leek Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 So i realize the engine is mounted differently and the intake manifor is different because of that, but has anyone tried mustang performance parts for the edge? I have also seen a few people complain about the "top speed" being limited...1. its a SUV, 2. from what i have read in a few magazines(car/driver, motortrend) the v6 mustang is limited as well to 113ish(only thing the v6 camaro beat it in was top speed).

RJG Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Top speed is usually limited because of the speed rating of the tires. Don't see how Mustang performance parts will help Edge. Edited July 5, 2012 by RJG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeblake710 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 the edge sport has the v6 mustang engine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJG Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Turned sideways, with different air intake path, different power take off, different tuning, different exhaust, and some other things I can't think of right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeblake710 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 doesn't mean you can buy a kit and make it fit and get a tune and exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJG Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I think the only way adding bolt on's make any sense is with a custom tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_bova Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) good luck getting that kit to fit with the way the pulleys are on the edge, my guess is it won't work. Edited July 6, 2012 by c_bova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickp81300 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 He's 16. He'll learn. Sounds like someone will be voiding warranties lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeblake710 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 i don't have the money for it anyway, I'm curious to see what else is possible because it seems like everyones having trouble with tunes and its not like a cold air intake and exhaust do anything performance wise.

Geek-A-Leek Posted July 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 not sure who is 16 in here with an Edge Sport, but being the same engine with, I thought maybe possible. just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJG Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I don't think that kit will work easily. But a good shop, one that spcializes in custom super charger and turbo applications, could probably fab up something that would work. Lamotta performance, in Longwood (Orlando area), Fl, could make one work. He has his own dyno for the tuning. In addition to the parts and tuning, you also have to give some thought to under hood heat, and how you're going to get rid of it.(in addition to pistons and rods not designed for super charger applications) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingMike Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I maxed mine out at 120mph... I was upset to see it 20mph below the dash top speed =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingernip Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I would worry about driveline components at 115+mph.. especially with the AWD models. The mustang is known to grenade driveshafts without its speed limiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy23 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 First i must add that the 2013 Genesis coupe spanked both the camaro and mustang v6's. Havinv said that, you might get a set of pulleys to work, but the best bang for the buck is a good tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) Seems to be a $7K disparity in Mustang and Genesis pricing; that's over 25%! I am sure that adding a supercharger and some minor suspension upgrades would get you a far more aggressive pony for still under the cost of the current Genesis offering. But it's good to have competition! P.S.: My real complaint with the mustang has always been the heavy doors. Other than that, I have enjoyed driving every version of it from the L4 on up. Takes a bit of control in bad weather (i.e. snow/ice), but appropriate tires help a lot Edited December 8, 2012 by WWWPerfA_ZN0W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingMike Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Going an extra 30mph isn't worth voiding the warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_bova Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 shouldn't be about top speed, should be more on acceleration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manish R. Patel Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 The parts that will fit without issue, the Accel coil packs and the 73mm throttle body, barring you have an intake that can handle it. I think the throttle body spacer can work also. So far thats really it. I have the 2012 Mustang GT, I've been wondering if I can get the coyote engine in it!

Dingo Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 That whole thing about turning it sideways complicates things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manish R. Patel Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yea, in comparison, the coyote motor wouldnt ever fit without some serious modifying to the entire firewall and a lot of the front of the interior. I guess thats just the way it works out, but imagine that, a Ford Edge Sport, no nonsense, 5.0 from the mustang with some semblance of an AWD system. That being said, I'll have those Accel coils very soon so we'll see if the butt dyno returns any results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock79 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I saw the turbo V6 mustang with the 3.7, after the exhaust, tune and CAI it was beating stock GT times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manish R. Patel Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 That would be pretty cool for the Edge Sport with some fabrication but I wonder about the tuning, that would seem to be the weak link in the equation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Edwards Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Is there a particular reason someone would want to have an Edge go above 85 miles/hour? Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
