Car looks and definitely SOUNDS amazing, that Red tint caught me hella off guard though haha. Different strokes for different folks is definitely the case.
love how Justin couldn't stop grinning. Live the tint too. I'd really love to see a Taurus SHO get some attention. The most over looked ecoboost car. With some upgrades by Livernois would be a kick ass feature
Man I think it's so awesome with these cars now that you can mod to your liking, I think the haters should just keep their opinions to themselves and just cruise in they're stock cars! Have a good time stock or mods, I think that Eco looks fantastic and sounds great, looking forward to seeing your new turbo!!!
I gotta say, that S550 looks amazing. Love the wheels, the white lettering on the wheels and tires, the extended side skirts, the rear spoiler...heck I even kinda like the stickers. Also, it has a perfect stance with the sport lines and the offset of the wheels. Nice job!
It's 2022 and I just got my 2018 ecoboost premium, I love this ride, I really don't need too much power but it seems my car picks fights with every muscle car out there so sooner or later I may have to add some extra HP to this pony, I really can wait tho because all I was looking for is a cruise mobile
+AmericanMuscle.com thanks for replying. I know this is primarily a late model mustang channel but have you guys ever wanted to do an 80's Ford muscle episode. you know showcase some ppls custom Supercoupes, XR7s, Mercurs, Turbocoupes, and SVOs
I'm in LOVE with the Ecoboost Mustang. I've gotten obsessed with it lately. Every time I drive by a Ford dealer, my truck veers into the lot. I hope I don't make a hugely expensive impulse buy soon.
I just purchased my 2015 Mustang Ecoboost for only 23,995. only had 1,800 miles. I'm in love with it. I've had it for 3 days now and I don't get tired of driving it!
+Jeff K These weigh slightly more than a 350Z and make the same or slightly more power when tuned and a LOT more torque, so theyre not slow, just not 5.0 fast.
can the automatic transmissions be mapped to offer little or no delay when shifting? to sort of emulate more of a DCT feel? im a long time porsche driver and really want an excuse to get a mustang
Stock turbocharged engine is really great base for tuning. Bigger less restrictive exhaust, big fmic and finally bigger turbo and you can have really powerful car after proper tune :)
I gotta say Justin you have the coolest job ever. The look on your face in ever episode especially when you get in the Mustangs is the face of a man who knows he made some right choices in life! haha.. I love the video's I love the updates.. I've owned 2 different mustangs. 2004 40th aniv GT convertible, and a 2011 GT. Unfortunately due to having to make some more "grown up" choices (having to be an adult at 30 is just silly right? haha) i've had to put my Mustang passion aside for a bit until i can afford to get that same look back on my face that you have. Again, great video's I ordered all of my Mustang parts from AM and like the gentlemen who you featured on this episode I also enjoy customizing the hell out of my S'tangs, and once I get myself a new one i'll be back at it again with you guys!
If he gained +110hp and is only at 308hp then wtf, that means it started at 198hp and a stock eco has about 280 they say??? So what, he really only had a gain of 28hp
I have my 2015 base model I have been having fun adding mods I have a Catch Can K& N cold intake, Vortech Intercooler, and a Xforce exhaust next I will be adding a pro tune.
EcoBoost 750lbs lighter than the GT?? Don't we wish! The actual number is closer to 200lbs. Still a nice weight savings but not anywhere close to 750lbs. th-cam.com/video/fsIz-RuqfNE/w-d-xo.htmlm56s blog.caranddriver.com/dont-worry-yall-2015-mustang-curb-weights-revealed-gains-are-minimal/
Very Impressive saw a video of a 4banger doing 12s at the 1/4 mile! Very nice!! The styling on the cars is very exotic, wouldn't mind having one in the garage.
I agree! AM I wanna see more videos like this!!! I know you guys send Justin to the track etc alot but lets see some more customer rides and projects!!!!!
I wanted an Eccoboost for my first Mustang. Did not have that kind of money lol. I got my 2012 V6 Cyclone and love it to death. You have sick car man. Congrats on the power and just all around making that thing mean.
I'm not sure he knows about the curb weight difference too well. The guy in the video said there is a 750 lb difference between the gt and ecoboost. In fact it's a 200-250 lb difference depending on the transmission. Gt averages 3700 and eco is 3500
most of you probably don't even know the Svo existed.. 4 cylinders are no joke now days tune the Mustang 12.7 from the 4.... I used to think same thing until I bought my ss cobalt tuned it and was like wtf!!
Wow 10-plus months later and the next video uploaded of a Mustang Ecoboost is one with barely 100+horsepower gained. Damn. MAperformance was able to get their Mustang Ecoboost at 600HP.
+jManraM Listen dumb ass its all about how much the customer is going to spend. I bet you the 600HP mustang has another 50k dumped into the engine, while this guy maybe spent 10k?
+ben battle Probably way less than 10k, at least for performance oriented parts. Intake - $300, Catback - ~$700-900, Downpipe - $300 Springs - $250, Intercooler - $500?, Tune - $500-600 Very rough estimate, but I'd guess he spent within 4.5k for all his mods, including cosmetics.
Wow crazy bottle neck @1:46 where the exhaust clamp is. Looks to go from 3" to 2.5", back to 3". I would fix that if mine. Either or i love the red wheels and white paint. I don't have a ecoboost, but have a white on red rims car to. Hope to get a ecoboost to fun some time soon
So it makes more hp to the wheels then a civic type r makes to the crank and 110+ torque probably cost a good bit less too. I’m impressed would like to see it race a bolt on wrx and a type r
+AmericanMuscle.com Thinking a exhaust system, air filter and then get it tuned. Any recommended mods I should keep in mind? I've got a 2016 Mustang Ecoboost.
+Redneck wontreply I have a feeling that we're going to be seeing that motor in the GT/ GT500 with a ton of power. Going to have to wait and see! - Will
LOVE the Ecoboost, and the SOUND ! Selling my GT to get it, or the Turbo Camaro...After a lifetime of loud V8's, I'm weary of the sound... Time to explore new territory !!
Crazy enough, I just bought a 65 hp '68 Austin Healey Sprite aka MG Midget Cousin... and am seling my GT to get a Subaru BRZ... :0).... Hell, I loved driving my '72 Vega GT more than my Mustang.. It's NOT about the POWER.... It's ALL ABOUT a car that's actually FUN to drive !!!! More HP doesn't always equal More FUN
thats fantastic numbers, especially when theirs more torque than HP at the wheels, which amounts to very quick acceleration and response. Couple that with the car being far lighter in weight than the 5.0 and im more than sure the ecoboost will greatly surprise many doubters.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't an intake and exhaust useless for performance on these? The tunes are load based, so if you increase flow without tuning it (like they described initially in the video) you're wasting your money. It will do zero in regards of performance. The exhaust I can understand if you want a different sound coming out the back, but the CAI I feel is a waste of money and I highly doubt the stock intake or the downpipe causes any restrictions until you go big turbo.
+mattyyg You're not far off! The Ecoboost runs a speed density system (Load/Rpm) in place of a traditional MAF so intake gains are going to be minimal at best, without a tune. On the other hand the downpipe will certainly be a restriction, even with the small factory turbo in place- that's why we like to recommend upgrading. Ultimately a tune will be vital in your pursuit of bigger power with the ecoboost. -Justin
That red tint would drive me absolutely insane.
There's a reason normal dudes don't do this to their cars. For a show car, I understand.
makes it look ducking stupid
I don't mind it from the outside but I feel like I would road rage constantly with that red light enveloping me constantly.
+Jeff K he's gotta show off his twenny seex eench reems homes.

I think that's a fantastic touch with the red highlights!
Yeah, its not like GTS V when you gotta live with it
Lol let them man love his car dude!
That red tint look like the skies are burning. Kind of scary
I just heard a tuned eco boost in real life today and it sounded wicked af I want one now
I'm a 51year old Z06 owner. I love this Mustang.
I like how this guy doesn't try and dominate the conversation, lets the owner get a word in. Nice video
Ecoboost is awesome! Nice mods!
Worst part about driving a cheaper version of these cars is dealing with all these grown as men worried about what your driving
The tint makes me feel hella nostalgic, reminds me of a hotwheels and how I imagined it would look like being inside one
I liked this video. You guys should feature more customers rides. I like to see what other people do to their cars in detail like this.
Stay tuned Victor! We also love doing customer builds and are nowhere near done with them! - Will
"dude, this thing feels healthy" lmao wtf

That Honda creeping up at 4:40 was funny 😂
its actually 2-300 lbs lighter......
I heard 750 and I was like LOL W t F
A stock yes
Love the sound of this Mustang! With this kind of power it's awesome (and I'm a Chevy Man)
That red tint would make me go insane lol.
Man I think it's so awesome with these cars now that you can mod to your liking, I think the haters should just keep their opinions to themselves and just cruise in they're stock cars! Have a good time stock or mods, I think that Eco looks fantastic and sounds great, looking forward to seeing your new turbo!!!
Justin's face when Manny says the ecoboost is 750lbs light than the v8, lol. What a nice host.
Brett Voigt yeah, the owner's a lier!!!
I gotta say, that S550 looks amazing. Love the wheels, the white lettering on the wheels and tires, the extended side skirts, the rear spoiler...heck I even kinda like the stickers. Also, it has a perfect stance with the sport lines and the offset of the wheels. Nice job!
+Kevin Breese Manny definitely had a unique but pretty sick taste! Thanks for watching! - Will
That red tint looks awesome on that car, didn't even notice till you guys went to the interior shot
Very impressive. The Mustang GT didn't even do this when it 1st came out and it had a V8! Wow.
red tint? like nfs underground
It's 2022 and I just got my 2018 ecoboost premium, I love this ride, I really don't need too much power but it seems my car picks fights with every muscle car out there so sooner or later I may have to add some extra HP to this pony, I really can wait tho because all I was looking for is a cruise mobile
Any way to get a list of all the mods he has done for performance? love to know.
I work at FRAP. Flatrock Assembly Plant. Grabber Blue rolled off the line tonight!
+Sam Vick Thats awesome Sam! Thanks for sharing that! -Justin
The red tint I's actually my favorite thing about the car
i thought the new mustang was ugly until I seen this one. best looking one by far

+TheTVisReal almost a month later and I'm still in love.
Putting a good boosted 4cyl in the new Mustang was a great idea. Good job Ford. Now the 4 cyl Camaro is next to play in this market.
+Acuravigor47
Its a great idea, but its just a tad to heavy for the engine. It need a bit more power or a 400 pound weight loss.
+Jeff K
it makes good power for a Nissan Z size/weight car.
+Jeff K These weigh slightly more than a 350Z and make the same or slightly more power when tuned and a LOT more torque, so theyre not slow, just not 5.0 fast.
Ford rules! Just ordered new EcoBoost Stang!
VTT Vargas turbo, check them out. Fuel delivery will be your limit. At the track, you'll need durability in the back end.
That is easily the best lookin year that mustang ever produced besides the old old stuff
Why so many dislikes? This was a great video. Mustang haters?
Thanks for the kind works +Mao Junior! I don't know why someone would dislike this video either :P -Elaina
me neither...i like your channel...good presentation..lots of info..and great cars.
can the automatic transmissions be mapped to offer little or no delay when shifting? to sort of emulate more of a DCT feel? im a long time porsche driver and really want an excuse to get a mustang
Mustang haters and also mustang fans, but mustang fans love to hate on the ecoboost.
Stock turbocharged engine is really great base for tuning. Bigger less restrictive exhaust, big fmic and finally bigger turbo and you can have really powerful car after proper tune :)

the red tint is sweet i like it!!
+Redskinfan va dope smoker tint haha

3532lbs = ecoboost Mustang
3729lbs = GT Mustang
Thats not a 750lb difference, less than 200lbs. And those big arse wheels aren't helping.
Yep
true
+C0MPUTER101 dude, he's a painter not a damn mathematician..
wheels are probably no bigger than what comes with the car stock.. GTFO.
If he gained +110hp and is only at 308hp then wtf, that means it started at 198hp and a stock eco has about 280 they say??? So what, he really only had a gain of 28hp
I have my 2015 base model I have been having fun adding mods I have a Catch Can K& N cold intake, Vortech Intercooler, and a Xforce exhaust next I will be adding a pro tune.
i CHOSE to buy the eco while owning an SS instead of the GT. Feels like a better car to me overall.
EcoBoost 750lbs lighter than the GT?? Don't we wish! The actual number is closer to 200lbs. Still a nice weight savings but not anywhere close to 750lbs.

That's a nice ecoboost, great dyno numbers and sounds good👍🏽

I actually really like the way this Ecoboost looks.

Did he customize his rims and also how he made the bottom part of his car like that??

The tint is pretty crazy lol, beautiful ride otherwise though!
most of you probably don't even know the Svo existed.. 4 cylinders are no joke now days tune the Mustang 12.7 from the 4.... I used to think same thing until I bought my ss cobalt tuned it and was like wtf!!
Wish I could hear the exhaust better but the audio was only from inside the cabin.
@5:08 Do u feel it now Mr. Krabs ?
Looks like the restriction was left in the exhaust. Got a good start on a build though.
I would actually love to own both a v8 and a riced out ecoboost
The car pops with the red wheels
750 pounds lighter than the V8? what?

is this comin close to as fast as a 5.0
after the mods and tune ?

What kind of intercooler is that and how was it mounted? Thats Exactly the look I'm looking for
I checked the build list and no cigar
Hey Kevin- not a stupid question at all! I believe Manny bought a 'universal' intercooler and then made it work with his setup. -Justin
Something like the Mishimoto you guys have on your website?
I thought it would be crazy loud. Knowing you can buy these so cheap and mod them so cheap it almost makes you not want the v8... almost
I have the exact same ecoboost! Mod me up like this guy
The red tint would freak me out. feels like I am in a horror film.
Can't wait to pick up my car tomorrow

Sweet ride
LOVE the Ecoboost, and the SOUND ! Selling my GT to get it, or the Turbo Camaro...After a lifetime of loud V8's, I'm weary of the sound... Time to explore new territory !!
You can't see out of the Camaro though
Crazy enough, I just bought a 65 hp '68 Austin Healey Sprite aka MG Midget Cousin... and am seling my GT to get a Subaru BRZ... :0).... Hell, I loved driving my '72 Vega GT more than my Mustang.. It's NOT about the POWER.... It's ALL ABOUT a car that's actually FUN to drive !!!! More HP doesn't always equal More FUN
Sounds like a space ship. Cool.
So its about 220 kw atw ? My Speed 3 with tune, Autoexe TMIC, k04 hybrid is running close to that or about the same.
For the gt model, are they still going with a two piece drive shaft or a one piece?
The GT still utilizes a 2 piece driveshaft at this time. -Justin
jfc, 411tq that thing will run into crowds so good
haha thats hilarious lol. love it
*clown control activated
750 lbs Lighter than the GT???? Curb Weight: Eco - 3657 lbs & GT - 3810 lbs....Not sure where Manny got a 750 delta from those two weights
bosssho probably talking about the gt500 fully loaded
Still nowhere near 750lbs, not even close.
www.ford.com/cars/mustang/specifications/capacities/
bosssho gt500 is in the 4000 range
Did Manny ever get the bigger turbo?
thats fantastic numbers, especially when theirs more torque than HP at the wheels, which amounts to very quick acceleration and response. Couple that with the car being far lighter in weight than the 5.0 and im more than sure the ecoboost will greatly surprise many doubters.
+xevious2501 This car is awesome! It makes a ton of power and handles super well, it can definitely put up a fight against a Coyote! - Will
So does the Unleash tune require higher octane fuel? Thanks 🚙
what's with the dip at 3.5k rpms?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't an intake and exhaust useless for performance on these? The tunes are load based, so if you increase flow without tuning it (like they described initially in the video) you're wasting your money. It will do zero in regards of performance. The exhaust I can understand if you want a different sound coming out the back, but the CAI I feel is a waste of money and I highly doubt the stock intake or the downpipe causes any restrictions until you go big turbo.
+mattyyg You're not far off! The Ecoboost runs a speed density system (Load/Rpm) in place of a traditional MAF so intake gains are going to be minimal at best, without a tune. On the other hand the downpipe will certainly be a restriction, even with the small factory turbo in place- that's why we like to recommend upgrading. Ultimately a tune will be vital in your pursuit of bigger power with the ecoboost. -Justin
