Street Outlaw racers John Urist and Dwayne James made a name for themselves at the drag strip winning races and for Urist championships. while becoming household names for many of the Mustang faithful. Their company, Hellion Power Systems has also become well known throughout the Mustang community as the creators of some truly awesome turbo systems for a variety of popular Mustangs.
With the Coyote engine’s incredible response to forced induction, it should be no surprise that Hellion was anxious to build a system for Ford’s latest high performance bullet powering the Mustang GT for the foreseeable future. Hellion released the Eliminator twin turbo system a while back, and the results are staggering.
In order to fully test the capability of the system and the Coyote engine, Hellion installed a Ford Racing Aluminator crate engine into a 2012 Mustang GT, and set the dyno rollers spinning into the stratosphere with an impressive 1,249 hp to the rear tires at just shy of 24 psi. Making this system that much more impressive is that there was still more boost available which could have well surpassed the limits of the Aluminator engine.
Additionally the car still retains it’s factory amenities and interior, and knocks down 26 mpg when cruising on the highway. Urist even drove the car cross country from the Hellion Headquarters in New Mexico to the NMRA Spring Break Shootout in Bradenton, Florida, further cementing reliability claims and the car’s street cred.
Recently co-owner Dwayne James was in Oklahoma City with the twin turbo’d 2012. In 100 degree heat, and high summer humidity, James ran the car, which has been unaltered to an incredible 9.49 at 150 mph quarter mile ET. This was with the system pushing just 19.9 psi of boost down the Aluminator’s throat, in full street legal trim, on pump gas.
Doing a little math, the car should be deep eight second capable with the boost turned way up. How’s that for an off the shelf turbo system, installed on a car that you could commute to the office with daily?
