RIP CoronaRaptor

How’s everyone’s alignment been?? Straight as an arrow? :banana-mario:

You have your turbine wheel, which is connected to a shaft, which is connected to the compressor wheel. The turbine wheel is the half of the turbo that the exhaust gas drives. The compressor wheel is the half of the turbo that compresses the atmosphere into "boost" for the engine. The turbine...

99% sure they'll put a new engine in. That's almost how it always goes, all things considered here. Not even a rebuilt engine, a brand new engine that could've easily been in route to the Raptor assembly line. The old one will go back for diagnostic. Typically any catastrophic failure of new...

Mind you it's been a few years since I've spun a wrench for a living but, that looks like your front differential, and the machined flat spot with the three holes is where the bench mount goes for servicing the unit.

Looks nice. Good work.

My gen 1 still kicks your gen 2s ass... FACT!!!

106 was straight out of the Ford service manual. It could have changed since I posted it. The difference is so slight I wouldn't worry about it. This way you know they won't fall out :ROFLJest:

That's a good question. Maybe the magazine reviews will touch on this for us.

Yeah that might attract some attention haha

A tuned 6.2 is easier to sneak by as they have very few problems and not constantly on Fords radar.

Well I figured I'd throw the diesel thought out as an olive branch. Might be someone out there that wants to work their Raptor like a Clydesdale. Actually I'm lost at where the diesel adds value in the F150 line up. The ecoboost has similar power delivery. The diesel should get better mpg...

Take it to the antiques roadshow:ROFLJest:

I think if they can keep the rack unit from getting hot, it should be an upgrade.

Ford has been super anal about warranting catastrophic damage for the current ecoboost engines after they've been tuned. I imagine they won't change policy for the gen2 Eco. But like Wilson already said, the 6.2 was breaking other things before it was breaking. The driveshafts will twist up...

They are impressive with basic mods. 120 is a significant jump. I wonder where it gets tough/expensive. 600hp, 700hp, 800hp?

How much hp can be squeezed out of the current 3.5 Eco Boost before hitting the proverbial wall? What's limiting them at that point? Fueling? Component strength? Turbo options? Anyone know?

I wanna say everything but the super dutys use a EPAS rack (electric-power-assisted-steering). The 5.0 never had the space for a power steering pump. There are aftermarket kits out there to add a pump for hot rod conversions/swaps. I believe the Eco family is the same way, where space for a pump...

For sure. Guess we'll see what the production model brings. Other mystery will be the steering rack. Hydro or elect? I'm betting elect. The variable steering wheel effort feel that the elect offers could be incorporated into the terrain modes.

Wilson, you're causing me to smash thru my cellular data. Can I just get a few talking points? That last video was like an hour long. Ain't nobody got time for dat!

That's a reasonable possibility. I've also seen a couple, what appear to be, aluminum upper control arms in some pics. The u/c would have to be raptor specific components due to the longer length. If production model does end up being aluminum, with the weight reduction, it should make the...

Almost every front suspension pic I've seen shows what looks to be an aluminum steering knuckle (or maybe it's painted for some odd reason). How would an aluminum knuckle compare in strength to the gen one cast steel that when ran hard enough bent/broke? If it is aluminum, are we looking at a...

Your gonna blow the welds on your intake bro!!

What about a diesel option? Would that row the boat for the ones not sold one the Eco? Better mpg More torque Cool sounding exhaust note Rollin coal BITCHES! Heavier:/ ---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ---------- The F-150 is getting a diesel option...
