Hahaha that’s great!! Glad to be of help!

Thank you dude! Really appreciate it!

Not really, mainly because you can’t. The 2.7 turbos are the same except for the oil inlet hole from 2015-2020. Then 2021+ is much different. The 2021+ turbos would not work on a gen 1 truck. As far as the 3.5 goes, the gen 3 turbos fit on the gen 2 but not without custom kits and such and tuning. The other 3.5 gen’s are not swappable.

I want a Can Am Renegade 1000

I rode an Outlander, made a piped Banshee feel like a kids toy. Renegade would be pretty crazy.

Yeah I would love either a renegade or the outlander 1000R and I’d do a tuner and exhaust system. They sound wild with an exhaust.

Everyone sees different things. You’re welcome to run whatever you want on your truck, it’s a free country. More often than not the dual catch cans actually cause problems with the PCV system and the truck will actually be less efficient with the PCV system and will freak out. Maculoco was paid to review catch cans, so of course he’s in favor of them. I like most of his stuff but I disagree with him on the catch can topic. A single catch can on the passenger side doesn’t hurt anything but I think it’s foolish when companies like RX and UPR try and apply their knowledge of other engines to the Ecoboost and think that the dual can setup is gonna work just fine. Ford designed it the way they did and it works amazingly and shouldn’t be tampered with.

Fair enough, we can certainly agree that dual systems are a net negative for the system, but two points: the manifold nipple under the PCV connector is milky white from the factory - I defy anyone to disconnect and examine theirs under the connector and find anything but chocolate brown and wet after only 10s of thousands of miles. #2 CVF came out with a V2 with a "condensation" drain (for an extra $250) but the crap most ICs were puking out was brown and foamy, and IC replacement videos often show oily hot side pipes. Single catch cans take that out of the system.

PS - don't get mad, okay? You said you knew catch cans would be controversial. Peace

Well if you’re defying me, I will be 100% honest with you. On all four Ecoboost trucks I own/have owned (own three right now) I’ve never seen milky colors in the pcv system and all three trucks I have are completely stock PCV wise. Oh I’m not mad, just friendly discussion. My 2.7 truck would get some oil in the intercooler from time to time and what came out of it was always dark black oil.

Also why has ford not addressed the situation if it’s an actual problem? Only recently has ford actually come out with a ford performance catch can, which I believe they saw all the hype over the years and decided to see if they could take advantage of some of those funds being spent. But…. It is a single catch can. As I said, the single cans are not harmful to the engine, but still are not necessary. The reality is, if you’re catching a ton of stuff in your catch can in very little miles, your truck has a problem. I had a catch can at one time before I sold it and I would get half a can full in like 5000 miles. That’s such a small amount that burning that off through the stock system doesn’t hurt anything. Catch cans do not help carbon deposits on the back of the intake valves like people think. That’s not how that works. Guys with catch cans still get carbon deposits. That’s because it’s caused by emissions and valve overlap. A Catch can is ideally used to combat detonation from excessive blowby. These engines do not have excessive blowby if they are functioning as designed. If you are experiencing excessive blowby then something isn’t happy.

The actuator itself has to be take off yes. I left it plugged in and zip tied it behind the grille. Email me, I’ll try and give you some pics if you want.

No, I forgot to run dragy. But it’s around 8 seconds. Very slow.

Daaaang

No. I didn’t have a bigger trans cooler. I’d never get above 195 degrees while doing a 1/4 mile pull. Hmmm, It could be anything

@@BoostKingMatt ok thanks for the feedback. I will hit 210 (80° ambient) sometimes after pulls. Maybe I’ll try a bigger trans cooler to be safe

I think that was my reaction time.

@@BoostKingMatt my b bro

No it’s not. That is your own opinion bud

Can you explain the point of this mechanically? Just curious. Never done it but I own a 2.7 and do all of my own oil changes.

@@TheREIstory it puts the ECM in "flood clear" mode, which disables the injectors, allowing the oil pump to fill the filter and galleys before you start the engine.

@@208Concepts awesome I'll do that next time. Will it just keep turning over? I've got a 2017 so it's push to start. Is there a different sequence for that model of 2.7?

@@TheREIstory they have a cranking timer I believe. It's all CAN based on these so just floor it and push the button. On my Rangers, being basic, I had to hold the key to keep it cranking.

@@208Concepts Appreciate your help. Also, did he flash back to stock before the oil change?? What's the point in that...

Prototype inlet tubes

The anti-drainback valve, ain’t. Is an anti-back flush valve. Proof? Next oil change lay your old filter on its side full of oil. Will be empty in 30 minutes. The “drain back” flap is leaky. The 2.7 has whatever Ford engineers want built into the engine.

It held up for a while and then blew up. was running around 22.5 psi and e50 fuel. Making around 650 hp at the crank

Watch my video on the first ever 2.7 with equal length downpipes. That will show you what exhaust I had on that truck.

Hey man, no I didn’t, I actually deleted Instagram because it was just a waste of time and not gaining followers. Wasn’t doing anything for me. Ways to get a hold of me are my email boostkingmatt@gmail.com or I do have a personal Instagram- matthiasd99

Yes I’ve noticed a bit of a sound difference.

Hahahahaha

Intake is not dual, it’s a single filter, and it’s not custom. No ZFG tuning. Just a light tune from Brett at BoostKing Tuning. Yes I’m doing upgraded turbos and there will be a full exhaust and downpipes coming too, only because it’s all sponsored though. Otherwise I have nothing to make videos about.

Hahaha

Thank you for that insight. Appreciate it.

You threw yours out? It’s supposed to go in the inlet tube to trick the sensor. I left it out on mine and never got a code. Don’t have that intake anymore though.

This intake is sold now, it did make a difference in sound compared to me JLT but was actually more obnoxious.

Thanks man!! Hmmm, mine does not do that. Does it lurch at all or just make a clunk sound? It might be the 10 speed

@@BoostKingMatt no lurch or anything. Just the clunk, clunk. It’s not sloppy, sounds like something resetting possibly? I’m 99% sure it’s not coming from the engine bay. I’m at 3500 miles right now so when I hit 5k I’m taking it in to the dealership for service and will chat with them about it.

That’s the most interesting comment so far. Everyone else is full of trash talk. You’re probably right. I make it a point on our trucks to make sure we open up the throttle on them a lot.

^* if I had to guess this would be it

They’re actually not. They are a work of art and run amazing!!

Okay well I’ll ask you again in another 3-5 years

@jkink8049 go ahead. My mind won’t be changed.

Yeah well it does it when the truck is off and not running. Just sitting there. If I walk near it it makes the noise. And I took a peek in there and the wastegate control arm was moving.

@@BoostKingMattur going insane cause you paid top dollar for a shitbox

I will say the ECU is doing a self test

@tnpbooker6723 nope. It’s faster than all other gas powered trucks of the same class. Best truck on planet earth bud. Never had an issue with it.

@gordonmelling3443 haha maybe so. Maybe it is thinking about the tune I put on it. 🤣🤣

He does. Steven Boswell on Facebook

He had a horrible launch and was completely stock in terms of suspension, his 60’ was not great. So actually incredibly impressive. He sent me a video of a 40 roll just a little bit ago and his truck moves like no other 2.7 I’ve seen.

What you are saying is true, to a point. This truck, bone stock except for a 5 Star E50 tune with five revisions went 12.20-12.30s. Tbh, I should have left it alone at that point, but I digress... so, why does 600+ whp not run 10s like I expected? I admit, I was a bit disappointed after spending MASSIVE amounts of money just to run .7-.8 tenths quicker than before. I've thought about it and I have a few theories. 1. Horsepower is just one aspect. Torque is actually more important for getting a relatively heavy object moving quickly. And Adam at ZFG has limited that and dialed it back to try to keep the rods alive. 2. I honestly feel the truck is faster than 11.45. That pass was in 90° heat, 3750' DA, full weight including a spare tire, hitch, and 3/4 tank of fuel. Track was junk that night as well. I run a speed rated, hard compound street tire and the truck spun hard, even in 4wd. The tire isn't really suited for drag racing, but, it's what I have and I make do. 3. I drove 200 miles in August heat to the track, waited half an hour, and made 1 clean pass. I didn't beat on it, just a shakedown run. I don't mean to make excuses, mainly trying to see where I can improve before the built 3.0 goes in. I'd like to hit 10s with a street driven 2.7 before I get stupid with the new engine. I think it has 10s in it if I can keep it together long enough. If I pull the spare tire, hitch, front and rear sway bars, console, passenger seat, tailgate, etc I think I can drop a few hundred pounds. I also have Viking adjustable shocks to throw on it to maybe help with the launch. 1/4 tank of fuel, cool air one night, and who knows? Maybe it's got a 10 second pass in it. But, to your point, this is a lot of expense and time to run a number that a boosted Coyote truck could easily do. Probably while pulling a trailer!! Lol... I actually enjoyed the truck more at low 12s. Should have left it alone. It's easy to go low 12s in an Ecoboost. To go faster, I should have went Coyote. I'd be in the 9s by now.

@stevenboswell1150 true, but when you reach a 10 in a totally stock 2.7 motor the world will be in awe. And when you get wild with the 3.0 they’ll still be in awe

@BoostKingMatt I like being different. I don't care about being the fastest. If that's the goal, you will always be disappointed because there is ALWAYS someone faster. I set personal goals and strive for those. A 10 second 2.7 is the next step, if it lives. I've told you before that if I run a 10.99 and drive over the crankshaft doing it, the smile would have to be surgically removed from my face! Now, the 3.0 is a different story! I've talked with Andrew at CRP and he said he would build me a set of custom turbos, larger than the Stage 4s. Basically the size you had. Which is the Explorer ST Stage 5 equivalent. Enough airflow for 750ish whp theoretically. With my ported heads and Kelford cams, maybe a bit more. But, the bottom end should be good for 1000whp ish. So, I'm gonna run enough nitrous to power the space shuttle!!! Lol... seriously though, the nitrous should eliminate any turbo lag issues and give me enough hp to run well into the 9s. That's the next step after either 10s in the 2.7 or parts on the ground!

@stevenboswell1150 yes sir! Let’s go!!!!! Send me any and all videos and I can get you publicity on my channel if you want me to.

I'm going mad with my ford focus ecoboost 1.6 150HP. Since 4 years It emits blue smoke when it is started cold. it always whistled slightly at load (boost from turbo) timing belt was changed last year. since yesterday its howling very loud after a throttle above 15% and has NO boost only vacuum from minus to max zero. its very difficult to find some good mechanics to get a proper diagnose here :(

@hansiman9262 hmm yeah sounds like it might need a proper look through

A big turbo would be cool on a race truck but for daily driving would rob the Ecoboost of what it’s known for, that low end torque. A big turbo would take a while to spool up and the torque would suffer.

@@BoostKingMatt True, I have an 2012 3.5 I just wish they didn't sound like rattling pop can after 2.5k rpms anything under it sounds pretty nice.

@@coverstream9951 I like the Ecoboost sound. Especially the Gen 3 raptors! That equal length exhaust sounds amazing. It’s an acquired taste for sure. Not everyone likes it. When I hear it though, I know it means power!!!

@@BoostKingMatt Not sure if you've heard the SPD performance kits for them but they sound amazing. Sounds more like a diesel and better than the 3L diesel

@@coverstream9951 oh you’re talking about the turbo whistle package. Yeah, but I’m talking about the equal length trombone pipe that SPD makes too and also my sponsor CVF is working on some designs too.

Where’s the fun in that?? Haha, we won’t be blowing this one up though.

That’s not a performance part for making power though
