2019 Raptor 280kw/375 hp?

[raptorkatz]

Hi , i am expat living in china , last year bought F150-RAPTOR and got with 280kw /375hp engine . Over here emission regulations are pretty tough assuming thats the main reason

Question is ; these exported made in Usa raptors are with regular `Ecoboost 3.5 engine` or `High output/less aggressive map` ?

What is the best way to reach 450hp and if not `HO` version what is the difference between `ecoboost regular version` engine

attached obd reading for the Ecu and VIN STICKER inside the passenger door for my 2019 raptor and VIN TOOL reading result (showing it is 450 hp) hoping can indicate some more info

Also attached my friends 2018 raptor VIN Sticker 310kw/ 315hp.His china emmission rating is 5(mine is 6 more environment friendly)

Hope someone know how to deal with this think , quite upsetting to pay 120k USD(unfortunately have to pay extra tax in china) and getting 75 hp less ((

Thanks a lot!!!!

That’s two totally different engines. Not sure what you have though. Sucks if you pay all that money and don’t get the same as us over here.

sucks indeed...

not sure if my engine is High Output or not . Is there a way to understand via visual inspection under the hood or any other way.

i was planing to upgrade the ECU to 450 hp Raptor original map (same Bosch ECU version no) but if not high output engine will have issues guess

any suggestions ? thanks!

looks like it should be the same? article from 2016:

thanks for searching and you are right about ,

recently contacted ford dealer over here in china and they have confirmed it is High Output version ,

via ECU mapping china ford lowered the output to 280kw , i can just upload US standart raptor ecu map to achieve 450 hp but my truck will be out of warranty if i do so thats what dealer told ...

Dude! You paid $120k USD and you're worried about the warranty? Sounds like your pockets are deep enough for tht not to be an issue, and besides, it's built to take that power increase anyway, right? I think you'll be much happier with more sack sans warranty.

Maybe look at an aftermarket tune like Cobb. Perhaps that will unleash the power in the ecu.
