How & where the Mustang lost 10 Horsepower in 2022

In a perfect world all technical information on any vehicle would be available to it owners. That went out the window sometime in the mid to late 1970's. In today's world you need to be an investigative reporter to find out how 10 horses escaped a modern V8. I do just that and get the answer eventually.

Good video Tony. I'm still shopping for a 2021. Found a Jet fighter gray one but just didn't like the color so looking for blue one with manual in it. Not no big hurry .good things come to those who wait. 🤞😁

@TonysFordsandMustangs Жыл бұрын

Thanks Roy! The blue is very nice but also rare. FJG is easily the most common color and if you don't like it you don't. Hang in there until you find the the blue one. If you want me to join the hunt let me know.

I wondered how the power decrease was implemented. Would stand to reason that restricted airflow (likely less fuel delivery and a knock back in timing as well) contributes to it. Would seem easy enough to go with a different intake and a tune to adjust would solve this quick and easy.

@TonysFordsandMustangs Жыл бұрын

I was wondering about since they announced it. I thought it was all ECU and I was half right anyway. The HC Filter is pretty massive so I'm sure that's half the story. Any tune that is off the shelf will work around it to stay with LEV III compliance. Maybe that's DiabloSport did but they could have just told me that instead of what they emailed me.

@rmrpony798 Жыл бұрын

Good facts on the intake hydrocarbon “trap”. MAF table scale has most likely changed. I would put a 2020 GT350 air intake on, see if a mil comes on, or how much LTFT’s change from stock after a 100mi drive compared to stock “as is” LTFT’s. Think you might get your 10+hp back, before adding a tune.

@TonysFordsandMustangs Жыл бұрын

Pretty sure if I just pull the trap the MAF table will be off and it will throw a code. I plan to have it a tuner pull it and then adjust the MAF table accordingly. I don't want to mess with the spark table as I drive all over the country and there are plenty of places in the mid & south west where it's difficult to find 91 let alone 93. I think that will get back the lost 10 and we will see what else can be done to add a few more.

The ecu isn’t different as far as i know. There’s an extra filter of something in the intake that restricts air flow. You can easily take it out.

They may have just said that there was a 10 horsepower loss. Let’s say the 2024 Mustang GT is going to have 475 horsepower. Then Ford can say it’s gaining 25 horsepower over the previous model, instead of just 15. It’s a bit of a shell game.

@TonysFordsandMustangs Жыл бұрын

I thought that as well but no more. A HC Trap is going to decrease airflow and when you decrease airflow you need to recalibrate for that loss. It's not much but it's enough to drop the 22's down to 470 crank HP. I'll be digging into this more tomorrow with a video to follow shortly there after. Thanks for your comment and for watching. It is appreciated.

@marcuswilson2147 Жыл бұрын

Hey Tony, great article. So will you be removing the carbon trap to check your theory? Can it be removed simply in 10 mins from inside the intake tube or is it more complicated and feeding the ECU info? Is the engine tune from Ford the same with or without the carbon trap? As the Mach 1 has the GT350 intake manifold and cold air system it should be tuned for higher air flow anyway? I can't see 10 or 20hp increase affecting anything tune wise with the factory ECU? What are your thoughts, thanks, Marcus

@TonysFordsandMustangs Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and you are going have to watch the next couple of videos. I can tell you it wouldn't be wise to just pull HC filter. Ford did change the settings to work with the restricted air flow. It's all part of the puzzle. I do have a tuner and we are working through it to find something that will work and produce HP/TQ gains while running on pump gas.

@@TonysFordsandMustangs great, im looking forward to seeing what you find. So many people are spending 1000s of dollars on bolt on's, it would be good to find less expensive ways to add max HP that don't affect a factory warranty. For the Mach 1 only, it would be really good to find how far you could go to make actual HP increasing mods maybe 30 - 40 HP running 95/98 gas that don't involve a tune? It that possible?

@stoneimage666 Жыл бұрын

There really was not change in horsepower reduction. All Ford used was a different scale of measurement for the emissions people of the U.S. So, no one lost any power from 2021 to 2022 models. It was just all on paper to please The National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory (NVFEL). This was stated from a Ford representative on this subject. So, all 2022 Mustang owners such as myself can relax. Plus, I have seen dyno testing from 2021 and 2022. No change in horsepower and torque.

Anything can be custom tuned (the route I'm going) but you need to have a good tuner that knows what they are doing. I could not find an off shelf tune from the standard people in the business (other than DiabloSport) at this point in time. I did not check with Lund so that's a possibility.

California also leads the nation in bankruptcy. Lol jk. Seriously though I thought that if you put in an aftermarket intake that the engine would just relearn the new airflow from the aftermarket intake in the engine. So without a “tune” for the engine the aftermarket intake would not gain much power.

@TonysFordsandMustangs Жыл бұрын

It won't it will learn that much. The airflow tables were modified. Figuring out what happened was step one. I'll post a video up once things are as they should be.
