EBOV VTA done right

[NASSTY]

Here is some info to digest then. Need videos?

Notice that NASSTY actually agrees with the weep hole??

That was on 2011-2014 F150s. I never said 13th gen F150s needed weep holes.

Thanks for confirming NASSTY - Smurf seemed to think that this had never been a problem on the ecoboost. The active shutters in front of the intercooler help on the 15+ ecoboost, but that still does not solve the problem fully.

Show the post where I said there has never been a problem with any ecoboost engine. You’re lying about this, you’re lying about this issue affecting 2017 - 2018 Raptors, after you admitted that it didn’t affect 2017 - 2018 Raptors.

Answer the questions put to you by me and others in this thread before any further comment on your stupid weep hole recommendation.


So, why do you continue to troll the Gen 2 subforums with what seems to be a pretty blatant attempt to convince someone to lose the warranty on their new trucks? BTW - you have yet to address this point.

1: Gen 2 owners do not care about your opinion on drilling the charge air cooler on ecoboost engines. Read it again. Now, read it again. Repeat as needed until you actually understand.

2) The 2017-2018 trucks are not suffering from this affliction, whether you want to admit it or not. No amount of trolling is going to work.

3) Your preferred narrative will not prevail. Read this again.

4) Gen 2 owners do not care about your opinion on drilling the charge air cooler on ecoboost engines.

5) You have gone back on your statements no less than half a dozen times in this thread. I’ve done my best to illustrate them, because I know you’re suffering from multiple personality disorder and affects not only how you type, but what you type. But I want to be sure that I am on the correct side of this
- you saying I am a smart guy actually hurts my FRF cred. So, I need you to be clear that I am dumb as a box of rocks, narrow and closed minded, unwilling to accept your ... opinions and so on. so please clarify what your opinion of my level of intelligence is.

6) if your argument / opinion had merit, you would see people jumping up and down on your side and blasting away at me. Your argument lacks merit - see points 1-5. If your argument, point - what is your point by the way? Nevermind - if it had any merit whatsoever, the opinion would stand by itself.

here are some examples
Raptor 3.5TT is more powerful than the previous 6.2L V8. This fact stands on its own.

Raptor 3.5TT is more powerful than standard F150 3.5TT. This fact stands on its own merit as well.

6.2L Raptor makes a great audio soundtrack. Not as good as the GT350, but pretty good. This fact stands on its own merit ( sure some will take offense at a Mustang sounding better but, if you heard them at Raptor Assault, you would agree ).

The F150 Raptor is the preeminent COTS, production off road vehicle. Ford sells every one of them and then some. The demand for the Raptor is as never before, as with every previous year of Raptor. Again, this stands on its own


In stark contrast to the aforementioned facts that stand on their own merit, your assertion that owners of Gen 2 Raptors should drill a hole in the charge air cooler to “fix” a “problem” that doesn’t exist in the truck, is argumentum ad absurdum.

7) We just do not care about your opinion on drilling the charge air cooler on ecoboost engines.

8) Updatded: Sasquatch77 now finally admits the 2017-18 Raptor does not need a weep hole.

9) You are arguing solely for the purpose of arguing and even if I and all the other posters in here acquiesced to your absurd recommendations, you would find something to argue about or nit pick about the Raptor, which you hate.

10) I think we can now safely dispense with the charade. You are sasquatch77, mcnawsty, mgd. and sasquatch78. It’s ok to admit it now, I am not bothered by this, neither are the admins or moderators. Last time they messaged me they made it clear that you would not be banned for duplicate registrations. At least do us the courtesy of acknowledging this. I have dealt with you fairly, and addressed your points. I have treated you with respect, and still you argue this pointless jihad. admit you are sasquatch77 and all the rest of your aliases here.

11) Did I forget to mention that Gen 2 owners do not care about your opinion on drilling the charge air cooler on ecoboost engines? I think I did.

12) I am puzzled why you want me to interrogate my mechanic at the Ford dealer who does my Raptor service on drilled CAC issues. Why would I do this, I asked, he answered. End of story on this ( probably not the best choice of phrases, but it is ) What about this do you find hard to understand.

13) H#ll, you won’t read past 1.


^^^^^

End of story on this.

Can we talk about blowoff valves again?

 

[donk_316]

How many horsepowers does this release by not venting into the air box?

Should I have a warning sticker so no one get burned by the hot gasses?

I agree with the OP. Cap both ends. That's the way the guys with he Gen 1 3.5L EBs do it. Less chance of a boost leak.



I don't think there's been a MAF on any Ecoboost 3.5L engines. Should just be the MAP sensor. You can leak air anywhere you want (in under vac or out under boost) and it should run fine as long as the leaks occur upstream of the MAP sensor.

Back to the Squatch bashing:
Jesus Christ on a cracker, can't the Gen 2 owners we just accept that the first Gen 3.5L EB F150 can/does benefit from a weep hole? It works. Other makes and models of cars have weepholes in the intercooler from the factory for the same reason. It's not a performance hit from a boost leak.

Squatch just can you accept the fact that the Gen 2 Raptor has a redesigned intercooler and induction system that has corrected the condensation issue in all but maybe the occasional worst case humidity scenarios?

That may be why my brother said he noticed a lot of water coming out of my tailpipes when I got on the throttle.

I recently purchased a 2019 Raptor and am new to this forum as a Raptor owner and am glad to read that this is probably not an issue for me and others with the gen2.

I still am going to purchase a dual can setup from RXP.

0 HP, just sounds.

No fear of getting burned by hot gasses, as it is compressed intake air, not exhaust gasses.

The water wouldnt pass through the combustion process and come out as water from the tailpipe.

Water coming out of the exhaust is from condensation when you shut the truck off and the pipes cool. When you start again, the water that settles in the exhaust gets blown out. Every vehicle does this to some extent.

Ya I realize I didn't think that one through, LOL!

When I did my vta I used the connection at the intake (where the ebov tube went) to connect my catch can, I didn't want to drill extra holes.
