Hey everyone just tossing this question out there as i didn't see much in the way about it upon searching for it.

I have noticed out of all the cars I have owned, non of which were small displacement turbo cars, this car seems to have very slow to act rev both up and down...but DEF on the return to idle. I have improved this on may of my previous cars by opening up the TB with something bigger...adding high flow headers and exhaust, Lighter pulleys and also a lighter flywheel.

My question is have any of you done similar mods and seen a increase in the response time of the revs.

Ballancer shaft delete, and one piece flywheel.

One costs time and a little money, the other costs time and more money.

Both add vibrations.

adding vibration sounds suck, there has to be a way to get a faster response time on the engine. I can only theorise that ford did this because of the small displacement motor my 4.6l mustang snapped to with just a few mods. This being half the motor im guessing its designed to keep the RPM's up in order to: 1 keep the turbo spool up, and 2 help with the lack of grunt the 2.0 liter has. I will get this engine to snap mods be damn at this point.

Are you tuned? The OEM tune has rev hang built in.

@CRAKEN! hey dude its been a while...yes im stock tuned, but I know even if there is some hang built in like my mustang GT, tuning will only help with a bit of that. I noticed at least with the 4.6 i lost of lot of that with a bigger Throttle body and a free flowing exhaust. I know that turbo cars behave diff....So bud whats up with my autocross team and shared garage time?

Lol, shared garage is off the books, and Im not a fan of cones. HDPE is more appealing.

As previously stated, running a LWFW and BSD will get those revs down fast. Theres quite a bit of vibration gained though. I rattled the amber reflectors off inside my ST3 headlights.

You can have the 'rev hang' tuned out. Still wont change that you have a lot of rotating mass. Our DMFW is heavy, and adds time to rev up / down.

4.6L 2V wasn't that responsive of an engine, even with a larger TB and free flowing headers. Our Ecoboost revs much faster, and more free that one of those ever did stock vs stock.

all good input thanks. I'm going to try to negate some of the rotating mass, and maybe start to self tune my car. Its a bit extra to get the access port unlocked so you can tune, but i did a decent job with a predator II tuner and my 01 cobra released an extra 58 wheel HP by tuning with a wideband o2 to make sure i didn't get crazy on the mix. duce message me if you want, i'm going to be going to some philly SCCA stuff in the area, but i know a few people in the pro circuit now...michele abbate for one who can help me get from point at to point Z pretty quickly if i have the time and sponsors.

don't forget, as far as rev down goes, turbo cars that see the levels of boost we do have a fairly low compression ratio, vs something like a twin cam 4.6 so there is less force/resistance from the compression stroke acting to slow the motor's speed down.
