EBOV VTA done right

[reaper1441]

if you have condensation problems with your truck have your tuner close the grill shutters earlier. Much like the air restriction plate used by us and ford on the focus RS.

Or drill a hole in the intake system of your truck. Personally ive had the intercooler under water before so that's not an option for me or anyone that strays from the starbucks parking lot.

Agree - the lack of critical, outside the box thinking is missing. Nobody has provided proof that the weep hole is detrimental, or provided actual warranty denials. That is because there have been zero denied warranties, and zero detrimental effects from the weep hole. Research it, try it.... You might like it. I can't wrap my head around some here that are so arrogant about this when people have done this for years with success.

Exactly, you have provided no proof of the benefit of creating a boost leak in the CAC and I’ve confirmed that your suggestion to do so does in fact void the powertrain warranty on all affected parts, so it seems like the owner base on here think more of keeping their warranty than of your outside the realm of sane suggestions.

Now you’re circling back to the warranty denial issue. this has been dealt with already - asked, and answered. I’ve confirmed with the mechanic at my local dealer - drill the CAC, lose your warranty on affected powertrain parts. What is hard for you to understand about this?

plus you left out that the holed CAC dumps out residue on to the pavement, so no passing tech inspection on a track, oh and you said this was this was the final word 4 or 5 posts ago.

End of the story on this.

Do you own a 2017 or 2018 Raptor?
Oh, that’s right

For now, extremely happy with my non ecoboost family of vehicles

it makes one wonder why you troll here, and try with such religious fervor to convince people to drill a hole in the CAC.

You seem to be getting flustered again and circling back to previously documented stuff and trying to change the outcome. I just want to make sure some new user doesn’t come here and think drilling the CAC is a thing they should do on a new Raptor, which just simply isn’t showing misfire symptoms you describe.

Ha ha!! Keep telling yourself things will be fine

Also, why are you road racing a raptor?

Lastly, you are still missing the point that the weep hole in the intercooler does the job of getting the water out of it. Are you refusing to admit that the other forums point directly to this as a fix? You have NEVER addressed this fact.

my VTA mod has the lower disconnected and i ziptied the pipe to the top of the BPV so it's not 'dangling'

I guess when you said final word, that didn’t really mean final word?

End of the story on this. You cannot disprove the fact that the intercooler builds water. Further, you have no idea what it affects. Lastly, you have no idea how to fix it. Good luck with it!

Holing a charge air cooler and expelling contaminant on to pavement could create a traction issue for anyone and anything behind where the fluid drops, including the vehicle it’s done to. Enough to lose traction? Depends on how fast, road conditions, etc. regardless of whether it’s a track or public road but for other models of vehicle that use ecos’ this would cause a tech inspection failure unless the fluid was captured.

Why do you care about what I think is described in other forums about drilling the CAC You have described me as a closed minded, arrogant, pompous bitch, so why would you want me to comment on what other forums have on this topic? We must have an abundance of closed minded thinkers here on FRF because nobody has been dumb enough to drill out the charge air cooler.

if you were frustrated before because I didn’t address your oft referred to other forums talking about this, well, you’ll continue to be frustrated.

I’m not the one telling people they should drill out the charge air cooler on a 70 thousand dollar truck for a misfire condition that is not even proven to happen on the trucks. As you so eloquently admitted, throttle stutter isn’t necessarily a misfire, so why are you fixating on this? Your advocacy is a solution in search of a problem.

Are we again going to circle back to the warranty issue? The one you fall back on every third reply.

Unless this is the end of the story?

Thanks for confirming your closeminded stupidity, and your lack of research skills.

Warranty - again, no problem. You will not find an owner with a warranty denied because of this.

I get it, you don't understand how to use Google.

Ok, so it wasn’t the final word.

you’re even more frustrated now, because you simply can’t defend your assertion without name calling.

I am all broken up about your opinion of me. It doesn’t change the fact that you’ve illustrated herein that your assertions have been false. There is not actual, verifiable proof from anything other than internet forum posts in support of holing the CAC, and the ostensible reason to do so, does not exist on the 2017 and later model year trucks.

Perhaps you should have chosen your words more carefully.

As I’ve said before:

You say outright that there’s no problem and you won’t lose your warranty and that is just an outright lie.

whether they are “fixed” to your satisfaction or not, as near as we can see here on FRF, nobody has had a CAC induced misfire condition. There’s been some reported stuttering on accel; see ‘03Darin’s post, but nothing has been traced to the CAC, right? - my bad, you said this was the final word and I don’t want you getting flustered.

Thanks for participating. You get a participation trophy!

Again

So, why do you continue to troll the Gen 2 subforms with what seems to be a pretty blatant attempt to convince someone to lose the warranty on their new trucks?

 

[MGD]

How do you know that it will void a warranty? Have you ever found someone who had their warranty voided for this?

Amen - Exactly! With the amount out there and the positive results, not one has ever had a warranty denied for it.
