So for the past few months, we've been working on bigger turbos for the 21-22 Ford Raptor Gen 3, on our in-house development truck.
CR Performance Engineering had made the first set of stage 4 turbos that they sent us to test. We put them on the dyno back in July with only ID1050cc injectors, the COBB Front Mount Intercooler, and E85 fuel. The results were not as expected, we knew there were restrictions in the stock exhaust (downpipes) and intake. The truck was tapped out at 545whp 559wt, at 23psi.
Finally SPD Performance released their ALPHA Catted downpipes the same week COBB Tuning released their cold air intake! We knew it was time to get back on the dyno with no restrictions. So we purchased some K&N boost tubes and had Rigo Built throw it all in for us (in 24hrs mind you!).
The results were finally as expected, and only at 23psi:
622whp and 603wtq!!!
MODS:
COBB Accessport tuning device
ID1050cc Injectors
CRP Stage 4 turbos
COBB Front Mount Intercooler
COBB Cold Air Intake
SPD Catted downpipes
K&N Boost tubes
E85 fuel
I wanted to see how well the downpipes flowed and with 0 tuning changes the truck picked up 40whp instantly. So they absolutely work well, and are catted at that!
The COBB intake is beautiful and flows just as well as it looks!
The dyno chart is also perfect, torque is well under control and power hits its peak at redline; I couldn't be any happier!
As soon as CRP has some Stage 5 for us to get our hands on, we will throw them on and continue testing, but for now we are all out of air. Anymore boost created a choke point, and the truck lost power.
STILL NO 2023 support, but we are still hopeful!
It's hard to believe that I've almost been tuning this Gen 3 platform for almost 1 full year, and already up 250whp+ over stock! Can't wait to see this platform make more!
