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

[Deleted member 12951]

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...

Wow, thanks buddy. Yes it caught fire cause of the turbos got so hot and cv grease got on it, then caught fire. And yes, I saw it, I was running with my fire extinguisher towards it on the trail as fast as I could.

Interesting. Ive heard similar problems happen with certain subarus when its modded and they leave the heat shield off or they dont wrap the new uppipe that goes next to the cv joint. An easy fix is to leave the factory heat shield on or wrap the up with header wrap when the factory shield cant be used.

Sounds like it could have been avoided and not necessarily the EB's or turbos fault. However, I could be wrong because I wasnt there.

From the sounds of it, some fluid must have overflowed and ignited on the turbos. Granted, this can happen with the headers, but the heat source ( @Mluis11) is way higher from the heat of the turbos. Likely not an EB issue, but can be more prevalent on them.

My X5 is as capable as @Bulletnjm's... but that's the way he drives it, not the Raptor itself.

How many times have we heard how good something should perform, and then in actual testing, it took a huge dump on your dreams?

The Titan can't keep up on the fast parts but slower technical trails the Titan (4X4 Off-Road was before package the PRO-4X) can hold it's own. Matter of fact the Raptor wouldn't have been able to squeeze through the rocks below.
