Another turbo AWD Ford

[revhead347]

I bought another turbocharged all wheel drive Ford. It's for the wife, but I usually drive when we are going somewhere together. I think I am developing a problem. My interest in Mustangs is waning a bit.

So does that mean you lost your focus or are more Focused?

 

[General karthief]

Definitely not 'out of focus'

 

[ThinBlue502]

Aren’t you going to miss having torque?

HP=TQ*5252 or something like that. Spin it to the moon when the boost kicks in.

There is a significant loss of Focus on my Mustang, which is unfortunate. Just to be clear, I've had the Focus for almost 5 years now; or so CapitalOne says. I just picked up the Fusion Sport on the 19th of last month. Our slowest car has 325hp, and I think that's a pretty good midlife crisis goal. Also, out of 4 vehicles, my Mustang is the only 2 wheel drive vehicle left.

You haven't driven any of these new cars. These twin scroll turbochargers are in full boost almost instantly.

The Fusion Sport has 380ft/lbs of torque. I'll admit that's a little shy of the 695 ft/lbs my Mustang has. It grunts hard down low, and doesn't turn the tires into powder though. The exhaust has this very rich muscle car tone. I'm loving it. I flew down to Tallahassee, FL to buy this car. It was one of those cars that kind of got lost in the Covid churn; 3 owners, but no one ever actually drove it much. It's a 2019' (the last year it was produced), but it only had 6800 miles on it. I really didn't know much about it when I bought it; only that some of the guys on one of my other car pages were raving about it. I absolutely fell in love on the 250 mile drive home. It's an utterly astounding car. It truly is one of those hidden car treasures that no one knows about.

A long time ago, I started my passion for modified cars with turbo Hondas, then moved to Subarus. Twin scroll turbos are really amazing with the near instant boost curve. I truly was just trolling for lolz, I’m actually debating selling my Cummins to get into a newer turbo Subaru Forester. All the other cars are my radar are turbo 4 or 6 cylinder, AWD cars.

I have driven the smaller sport SUV’s with eco boost, or at least the turbo 4. It can scare the owner.
I bench raced the idea of a turbo on my SHO. I left it alone as my daily driver, but that would have been a blast.

I’ve been interested in the Focus RS since they first came out but still haven’t driven one yet. I did like the Focus ST I took for a spin a few years back. The Fusion sounds intriguing with that drive train. Nice addition.

I have yet to own a turbo car, but I'm eyeing those Explorer ST's pretty hard right now. Would be my first turbo, and yeah i know it's an SUV, but 400HP should be plenty fun.

Problem is i can't find any in rapid red or that nice shade of blue they discontinued for 2022.

 

[Hoytster]

Turbo vehicles are fun to drive to me and I've definitely had my fair share already. Only turbo vehicle I own right now is my 6.7 Super duty, but I ordered one of those new Ford Maverick's last week with the 2.0 EB and am curious to see how that thing performs. Last 2.0T engine I messed with was my Audi A3, which was a fun little car. Simple turbo upgrade and basic mods put out over 350whp through the front tires. It was the definition of torque steer.

I've never owned a turbo vehicle but I'd like for my next vehicle purchase to be something with boost. Driving my friend's JDM EVO rally car a few months back really confirmed the necessity for me.

I think your Mustang will call you back. When it does, you'll remember why you like it.

@revhead347 how about a turbo on your Mustang? The 4WD is a bigger challenge, but has been done.

It's in the pipe line somewhere. I'd really like to go to a Coyote setup.

It's a lot of fun. You can be at stand still at a stop sign, and make a full throttle right hand turn, and it will exit at 35 mph; never spin a tire, never come out of it's lane.

Revhead,
You are going to love it
That said
Change the oil every 1.5k
Get to know Ford Tech Makuloco on YouTube
I drove a 2021 Exploder ST turbo the other day
Loved it
I know they are disposable around 90k
I might get one for my better half

Not sure which model or awd system you have but you stay right the hell on top of the awd differential service
