Hi there
So it starts the modification progress.............
Tunable Induction Cold Air Induction Kit + Custom Tune
With this new package deal available through Modular Depot, you get one of the best cold air kits for the 2005/2006 Mustang and the best handheld tuner to go with it! MD is one of the leading SCT dealers so you can be assured that the included tune is one of the best available. In addition, we will be able to support your tuning needs as you add modifications.
The system includes a 100mm Carbon Fiber TB Pipe / 95mm DeMolet CNC machined MAF Meter/ 9" Dual-Cone (custom molded for our 05' system) Green Filter (shown in the Ford Blue) / Full polycarbonate w/edge molding heat shield
The real carbon fiber composite tube provides an extra 'heat barrier' & 'additional insulation' with the excessively high under hood temperatures present on the 05' GT and the proximity of the radiator hose. 'Automotive styles come and go but we went with the carbon fiber as it's stronger than steel, a lasting automotive style, and you can't beat the 'strength reinforcing and insulating characteristics. A full carbon fiber tube would not provide the thickness (1/4" cellular core ABS + carbon fiber, double layered at the bottom of the tube where the highest heat source is present, and the smoothness of the hand polished inner ABS tube whereas a full carbon fiber tube would be a 'weaved' inner surface).
Modular Depot is one of the first dealers in the country to have the new SCT Tuning software, Advantage III. Once again MD is on the leading edge of tuning and is the best prepared to give you the best, most advanced tune ever. With Advantage III, MD can now enable user adjustability in the handheld. Now there is no need to hook up your Xcalibrator to your laptop to make tuning changes!
Modular Depot can custom tune your car according to your modifications through the mail with the SCT Advantage software. This flasher will not only give you more power, but it will take the place of multiple products. No need for a timing adjuster, MIL eliminators, speedcal (when changing rear end gears). This can all be taken care of in the tune. MD uses the new Advantage 3.0 4 bank tuning software from SCT. These tunes are created from years of research and thousands of dyno pulls. Customized according to your combination. Be sure to include all details about your car during checkout.
The XCalibrator 2 also allows 2 analog inputs when data logging (such as Wideband O2s). Also, because everyone should know what those Check engine lights mean, the XCalibrator 2 allows you to read and understand these codes the minute they appear so you can get back to enjoying your favorite vehicle.
I got a good price as I bought it via some US Mustang forums but from the actual chap who designed the unit (Demolet) and paid $640 delivered. UPS slapped on £30 for VAT and duty which was great which meant the entire kit cost me just under £400.
In the US customers have had dyno proven results of between 25-35 RWHP with 87-91 Octane fuel, thats at the actual wheels, now just like me you'd doubt such great gains for whats a cold air kit, well you are correct. As 2/3 of the gain actually come from the XCAL2 Tuning/flashing computer which is preloaded with 3 custom tunes designed to suit the car in question. The great think about the Xcal 2 tuner is I can get tunes from places in the US for any future mods I may decide to add as these places have dyno'd cars with all mods or different combinations or can get tunes easily enough via other tuners. Plus the Xcal 2 can monitor for knock and data logg the car etc. etc. too and can also decode error codes and sort them out. So its a great little unit!
My car been a Saleen is not an issue as even Saleen can now send me custom tunes too, except they have not dyno'd any cars with Octane 93 fuel wheras other tuners have.
A stock Mustang tends to be approx 260ish BHP at the actual wheels resulting in its 300BHP at the flywheel (based on Octane 87 fuel). My car been a Saleen had a few mods on it such as underdrive pulleys, variable cat back exhaust system and Saleen performance element (K&N). Resulting in approx 275BHP at the wheels and the claimed 325BHP at flywheel.
Well people who have had this kit fitted to stock Mustangs have seen as high as 290 BHP at the wheels and those that have got underdrive pulleys and exhaust cat back systems are hitting approx 295-305 at the wheels, which is approx 350-360BHP at the flywheel, though this is just a rough guess.
I am hoping that its mine will be approx 300 RWHP, circa 350BHP at the flywheel along with improved fuel economy. Installation all went fine and pretty quickly. I loaded the tune up to the cars ECU and backed up the Saleen tune, again all went fine. Even better still the car seems to run fine!
Now has it improved the car? Well at the moment I can't test it as the weather is so poor, rain and slippery roads. So I can't nail the throttle or really push past 3500RPM or I risk facing the wrong direction. I am sure by now you can all imagine how annoyed I am at our weather as its spoiling my fun but from a tame and civilised drive around throttle response is more instant and more back in ya seat force plus that V8 deep roar/rumble has gone even deeper to a point that it just sounds evil. Now is keeping my fingers crossed to some dry roads tomorrow so I can nail that throttle to see what improvements there is. Though either way my car is now taking advantage of Optimax fuel and the much great airflow it has, so improvements should be good.
