TRX throwing shade at the Raptor

[FordTechOne]

Going with the ostrich defense I see. Classic move.

No. I want real part numbers from Ford Ecat, not some half ass dealer website. Something you can't provide.

You mean you are using semantics to duck the facts

You mean you have no facts. Keep repeating "passenger car'. It only makes you more wrong, which is hard to do at this point.

The 60 degree layout is to fit transversely in front wheel drive passenger cars. It's an inherently imbalanced design.

Facts.

Wrong again. Facts are that a 60 degree V6 is more balanced than a 90 degree V6. That is the reason it's used. Not because it's designed to fit transversely. The Gen 2 3.5 is used in zero transverse applications. Don't let the facts get in the way of your biased, ridiculous posts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V6_engine

"All V6 engines— regardless of the V-angle between the cylinder banks— are subject to a primary imbalance caused by each bank consisting of an inline-three engine, due to the odd number of cylinders in each bank. Straight-six engines and flat-six engines do not experience this imbalance. To reduce the vibrations caused by this imbalance, some V6 engines use counterweights on the crankshaft and/or a counter-rotating balance shaft."

"Due to their short length, V6 engines are often used as the larger engine option for vehicles which are otherwise produced with inline-four engines, especially in transverse engine vehicles. A downside for luxury cars is that V6 engines produce more vibrations than straight-six engines. Some sports cars use flat-six engines instead of V6 engines, due to their lower centre of gravity (which improves the handling)."

Not a good high performance engine. Was never intended to be and is hardly ever used that way (relatively speaking).

Citing Wikipedia I see. A sign that you're desperate for facts because you don't have any.

Yes, the V6 engine is not naturally balanced like an I6, V8, or V12. That has nothing to do with it being a "good high performance engine". That is your own biased opinion, nothing more.

Once again...there IS NO passenger car version of a GEN 2. And no Gen 1 was ever used in a Raptor. So you're argument is null and void.

Very true and all new service long block assembles yes the Gen2 crank, so all 3.5l use same crank now if yours is old and maybe ford warranties you a new engine

Also to the other comment, 1000 can be made on factory crank but rod pins start stressing and cracking at 600 sustained HP

Still a V6, so still not particularly well balanced.

At the end of the day it's just a souped up passenger car motor.

Once again...it was never used in any passenger car. You prove yourself to be more of a troll with each post.

I have no bias. I just like an engine with more low end torque and upper end power potential than the Ecoboost can provide. I said earlier an actual Ford GT engine in the Raptor to answer the TRX would be awesome (and would wipe the floor with the TRX). But that's not what Ford is selling in the Raptor.

Anyway, there is a reason why V6s are used so infrequently for performance applications. They're just not designed for it.

Not true. And it is 2020 1000hp and power everywhere is on the regular man. Not difficult and V6 engines actually are outstanding when boosted, they turbo well, a
and the GT engine is a set of the same rough semi finished cams, not very different same lifters rockers and heads. We have two builds.

They are expensive parts and many are a part number change but same exact part. We don’t expect any difference in power engine for engine.

Your posts prove otherwise. You can like the 6.2 better than the 3.5; that's your personal preference. But when you start posting misinformation and inaccurate statistics, you've crossed that line.

Sure. Please, post the comprehensive study and empirical data you've compiled support back up that claim. We're all in for a good laugh.

We don’t make anything on this stupid v6 only 1695 wheel

It's a passenger car motor, though. That's what they have been primarily used for throughout their history.

You sound like a broken record...this engine was never used in a single passenger car. The fact that you think every 60 degree V6 is the same throughout history really proves how clueless you are. Give it a rest and stop trolling.
