I love my Eco boost. Iv raced all of my buddies (Chevy, GMC, Dodge, Toyota, and Nissan) and none of their trucks even come close to the power of mine. Not to mention, it pulls like a diesel. Ford did really good with these motors.

Excellent review guys! details of build and pros and cons show how much Ford missed out on a ecoboost offroad market.

I always talk crap on V6 engines, but i love the 3.5 eco, its got more power and torque than the 6.2L. Dont get me wrong that 6.2 is a beast when supercharged, but to have a more powerful V6... i never thought the day would come

+legit omelette I just don't like the v6 sound. Never heard a good sounding v6, straight ones are nice as fuck though. Hell, even 3 cylinders sounds better in my ears than a v6.

I'd definitely like to see Ford experiment with a smaller turbo diesel engine and put the current hp and torque numbers to shame.

RacFuhk Europe and else where don't have as strict emission control on diesel as we do in the US. New diesels in the US have so much emission add on and diesel exhaust fluid usage which requires expansive maintenance, higher operating cost. The additional EPA related equipment also make new diesel less reliable and choking on power. Only in the US, diesel costs more than regular unleaded gasoline. All those factors make very little economical sense to own small diesel powered vehicles in the US. A diesel powered 1/2 ton pickup sounds so sweet, until you get to your first oil change to find out it costs around $100 to $150 to perform. And don't forget to keep an eye on the DEF level. It's annoying.

Considering the Raptor was designed with endurance races such as the Baja 1000 in mind, and the ecoboost V6 has been used to great success in that race, it isn't so ridiculous to consider fuel efficiency when designing an endurance race car.

Rally cars have been using forced induction since the 90s. They tested the 3.5 specifically down in Baja and it completed the event with a record time to go along with it.

Okay I understand why Ford is using turbos in all its new engines. More power with (arguably) less fuel consumption. Fair enough. What I don't understand is why they just don't keep the 5.0 or 6.2 V8 and add a duel turbo to that! The 2017 Raptor has a V6, if you're buying a truck like the Raptor it's likely not your daily driver and you more than likely don't care if you save an extra 3MPG over the previous year's V8...

there's more to ecoboost than throwing a turbo at an engine. the ecoboost engines have direct injection which allows them to run much leaner air fuel ratios off load which saves fuel. also with direct injection you can run higher compression ratios without the worry of detonation so you can run 87 octane. All of this adds up to less money spent on fuel. to do this to a 5.0 you would have to rework the cylinder heads and make a whole new computer to run that engine. People like the 5.0 the way it is and to see Ford change the design that has been around forever would probably piss a lot of people off.

Yep, just Tuned my 11 FX2 Sport EB and she is at 370wrhp and 516lb at the wheels. If I were to guess at the crank/flywheel, probably 430ish HP, and close to 600lb. Very satisfying outrunning a Camaro SS to 60mph in a 5,800lb truck :D

I've watched this a few times, and something about a v6 in a truck just doesnt sound right. Like, the literal sound of it. V6's belong in cars and minivans and small pickups. Nobody buys a fullsize for its mpg.

It's metaphorical. A proper drive in such a car is a deeply connective thing. You do feel that the car is with (or against) you with real conciousness. You can feel its mood, how it feels about what you're doing. A good car will talk to you, communicate intimately with the deepest parts of your mind. In the semi-delusional high of adrenaline that follows, you can genuinely believe it is a concious beast. Of course, it's an inanimate object, but a car does have the ability to ascend beyond that.

lower sycamore creek, my favorite off-road spot! i've watched so many of your other videos, it's weird to me to watch one where I'm familiar with the location. would have loved to see it go up the widow maker (where the jeep was coming down)

Hennessey offers a twin turbo 6.2, the "Velociraptor 800." That build costs $150,000, because you have to literally re-do the drivetrain from the engine block up, including the transmission and transfer case.

What I would like to see them come out with is a twin turbo 6.2L. Now that would be badass!

GO PRO! GO PRO! GREAT ADVERTISING FOR GO PRO!

You my friend are a genious!! Well said!

Whoa whoa whoa, the Syclone/Typhoon's aren't "jokes." They were faster than the Corvettes of the time, and even today are being made into track-monsters with HUGE turbo set-ups.

Great.... now i want one!

Would love to see an updated version of this against the new raptor

appreciate it man

It didn't get smoked at the track either, it still outran the Corvette ('91 6spd ) in the quarter mile (14.36 for Corvette, 13.5 for Syclone). And that's pretty much what people love the Sylone for, the straight-line performance especially off the line. The AWD, automatic, and torque output lends itself well in the real world when sitting at a stoplight with the other guy ready to go. I'd say people like them because their utility (bed), AWD, and are sleepers that surprise a lot of racers: cool.

It gets into the vents and the nooks and crannies of the interior and stays there. Wading it through many rivers of Michigan for a couple of days (one thing I will say about Ford, at least they let you play) kinda fucks them up. No, it's not worth much cash, probably less than £1500. But it's worth the world to me, and I love it to bits. It's unrelenting, indefatigable, enduring. It's not sleek, or fast, or cushty, but it's utterly amazing that a 40 year old car can still bring you the world.

Say what ever you want, that this is BAD ASS !!

People really need to listen more carefully. The reason this truck is $80,000 is because it has $25,000 worth of suspension, skids, bumpers, lights, wheels, and tires on it. An Eco-boost swapped Raptor without all the extra stuff costs $55,000, or just $5,000 more than a stock raptor. That means that in under 4 years you're ahead of the game on gas, AND you get more power than stock.

LOL I WAS AT SYCAMORE WHEN YOU GUYS SHOT THIS I WAS IN THE BULE FJ ONE OF YOU SHOT VIDEO OF ME ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU GET A CHANCE PLZ POST IT THANKS AND BY THE WAY THAT RAPTOR IS SICK

Nice truck

Yup they are a nice ride! Problem?

I've been saying they need to put an ecoboost in them for the get go if they had an ecoboost it would be my next truck hands down.

nice well id just put charger on a 6.2l but thats definitely works too .. though i think the ram rebel and silverado reaper give more for the money rebels not as customized but its cheaper and more for daily driving. reaper is more expensive but its way more in-depth modified plus theyre all supercharged.

Anyway that looks fun as hell

Is the new suspension that they put on the raptor better than the stock fox suspension that was on it before?

there is. It's a tne uprgrade it's called the velociraptor 800 twinturbo

My 2012 sits stock 420 torque simply dropping an intake/exhaust/Livernois tune puts the ecoboost over 500 on paper (around 480 to the wheels).

i thought using LED's are fog lights was counter productive as they just reflect the fog back at you?

why don't people understand this? The conversion isn't $40,000 more than a standard Raptor. I say very clearly in the video that this particular truck, in addition to the engine swap, has $25,000 in aftermarket stuff on it. A "stock" Raptor with this engine would only be $5,000 more than a standard Raptor, so you'd make it up in 3 years.

So Matt since you drove the SDHQ Raptor and the Hennessey 600 Velociraptor.... which one do you prefer? I mean does it really get any better averaging 3.6 miles per gallon haha

I like how theres chevy ads on a ford video

Its like ford saw this and said "hmmm lets make our new raptor just like this"

Its 3.5l and set up for a truck application. Its also built to last 200k hard miles and more. What you want a gt500 engine in it?

This is a very nice truck.

im confused on why the driver door has the light wooden trim like a lariat...anyone know why that is?

"Its actually an eco-boost truck with a raptor frame and body swap." So you essentially dropped an eco-boost into a raptor frame and body. So its actually a raptor.

How can I get a hold of one of those rear bumpers for my raptor

wish I could turn my 2010 ford ranger into something like that.....that would be badass

For a full size, 5 seater, 4 door luxury saloon, a top speed of 145 and a 0-60 of 7 seconds was bloody impressive in 1972. By the 80s, that was still massively impressive, in fact, pretty much the same car still existed. Even in the 90s, in the XJ40, the V12 was still proving to be a very quick engine for that car. Nowadays, a turbo 4 pot in a lightweight hatchback with modern aerodynamics would match it. As I've said before, I'm not female. I don't know where you're getting that idea at all.

Do you have any more vid on the project? I would sure like to see the frame diffrence...

Matt Farah... you've got the best job in the world!

what you can get it for the ranger i had a chance to get a 99 ranger 4x4 ext cab with the converion kit allready on it with the big wheel travel all around it and a 302 installed by a prob it wasnt no hack job all for 2000 bucks but i did not have the money at the time

Is that a bad ass looking green Jetta in the background?

Does the Raptor has some sort of limited slip, or just the locking differential ?

we didn't say it was. The lightning is bad at ALL truck stuff. The only thing it's good at is going fast, but it's not even that fast (in stock form). The Raptor is a truck that is good at truck stuff, not trying to be a sports car and failing at it.

The ecoboost from ford is actually only $6800, I've priced them recently. Wonder if they just simply do an engine swap now instead all the trouble of everything else.
