The 2017 Eco-Boost vs V8 Bench Racing / Whining thread

I agree 100 percent, I see the other side providing no evidence that the TT will work well either. Ford has been trying to shove this V6 shit down or throats for several years now and I am not buying it.

Turbos are great for Hondas and other ricer vehicles. They do not belong in a real truck.

And I owned a 2013 FX4 TT and I can attest I will never own another one!!!!

So thats my opinion you can like it or not I really could care less........

Doesn't Dakar run mostly turbo diesels with only 350-400hp?

yup

Tell that to all the ranchers, farmers, and people who tow with a turbo on a daily basis.

A built truck running an Ecoboost caught on fire at Raptoberfest. Only evidence you're probably ever gonna see is from word of mouth from people that were threre, which RDFTS was.

So explain how towing and flogging the shit out of a truck in the desert are one-in-the-same??

I drive a Honda. It doesn't have a turbo.

True... But heat is heat
Or are there temp differences there to ??

800F versus 1200F

And multiple radiators/intercoolers reduce heat, but I'm curious as to why they run diesel applications for the event.

Rick has been around long enough to earn any benefit of doubt on what he has to say. Maybe if you weren't the self-appointed EB cheerleader nobody asked for and read something on FRF you would know that RDFTS is not someone to just make shit up to prove his narrow little point.

An EB didn't do so well at Raptoberfest which means you are either going to ignore this fact or make up a bunch of keyboard jockey excuse's on how it was the fault of anyone and/or anything else other than the EB.

Diesel is easier to get...

Look at lemans
Diesel has nowa day's equal power ( not looking at dragsters)
But lower fuel usage and lower heat ( less cooling surface needed)

Also saver as diesel doesn't ignite as fast as petrol
