Is the 2021 Raptor getting a V8?

[Kensington]

you called one a "slug"

i wanted an objective measurement for your subjective statement. i got one.

there is no question here. do you see a question mark posted by me somewhere?

What did you find? I found the 6.2's were low 15's/high 14's and the EcoBooooooooooosts were low 14's/high 13's

0-60 is what matters on a day to day basis.

also out of curiosity-

6.2 goes in 6.9

2017 Ford F-150 Raptor First Test Review: Off-Road Super Truck!

No other truck is as bonkers as 2017 the Ford F-150 Raptor. From the streets to the dirt, this is a pickup that's gone mad in a good way—one that makes you feel

If I had fuck you money I'd purposefully stuff a 6.2 into the new body style and have the best of both worlds. The new truck is worlds better, no doubt. I just can't get over the wet pussy fart after a world record creampie competition sound that it makes.

And then reap the tears and salt from FRF from both sides of the argument.

the links i used above for motortrend with 2012/2017 said 15.4 vs 14.7

Got it. I mean, 14.7 for a 34" tire'd stock truck seems OK. But fuck they sound awful...you know me, I swing hard on the EcoBoosts, but I cannot get over that sound. It's just not right for a truck, I don't care how strong it runs.

This is how I react to hearing exhausts on EcoBoosts

Seat of the pants measurement, 6.2 was held back out of a stop, whether that was a converter issue or just a low end issue, I have no clue. I buy them and drive them, and have -0- love for any of them, it’s just a car.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

10-14 have a max throttlebody % until 3k, then it opens fully. I think it's limited to like 60% because after 3k tons of power opens up and it's hilarious.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Anyway. OP is definitely not a V8. Fake news.

 

[GTPpower]

It's too bad the 6.2 has almost no aftermarket. The Ecoboost on the other hand....

 

[Kensington]

Does the 6.2 not have phaser issues?

 

[Chester Copperpot]

There's been some but nowhere near as prevalent as the EB. Granted, there's also an assload more 2nd gen than original.

 

[Kensington]

Was going to say, I thought phasers were a mod-motor staple, even though it is and is not a mod-motor

 

[Chet Donnelly]

My 3.5 Explorer is in the shop getting new phasers as we speak....warranty expires on 8/31!!! ???

2017 Ford F-150 Raptor First Test: Velocity Raptor

It's taken more than four years to get to this moment. Slithering in the dirt around scattered trees, the winter sun beaming through the leaves, a dust wake in

www.motortrend.com

the Raptor efficiently put its power down without a lick of wheelspin on its way to 60 mph in a thundering 5.2 seconds. As you pin your right foot to the firewall, you feel the engagement of each gear shift on the way to clipping the quarter mile in 13.9 seconds at 97.3 mph. By breaking into the 13s, this truck stands head and shoulders above any bygone SVT Raptor—the fleetest of which nailed 60 in 6.5 seconds and completed the quarter mile in 15.1 seconds at 91.3 mph.

Wheres all the 7.3 Godzilla sack gargglers?

Why dont they just put a 7.3 in it. Would the 7.3 leg humpers be happy then?

 

[Kensington]

If they threw a few speed parts at it, and it’s not in Super Duty setup, it should probably make decent power, and would sound awesome. It would probably also get shit mileage, but hell so does every raptor...truck motor in a truck, why not

But zomg its a big cube pushrod engine bro.........

 

[Kensington]

And?

Have you not heard of the GODZILLA greatness?

 

[Kensington]

Yes. I have not been living under a rock. I was also fairly active in the OG thread. It's an interesting engine, with interesting possibilities. Who knows what Ford will do with it and who knows what the aftermarket will be able to do with it. Its path has just begun.

I think Ford COULD put it into the Raptor, but I put that chance right about zero. I'm sure it fits and would run just fine. But they can also put a twin turbo V6 in it, and also be fine, and people seem to buy the shit out of that already, so why mess with the recipe?

 

[Rent Free]

You do realize im kidding right.

Who is a 7.3 leg humper on TCG?

You do a shitty Alex Flores impression.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

No one buys these for a 1/4 mile toy. My ‘13 felt like it was dragging an anchor compared to the ‘18.

The Raptor’s purpose was to run off road, and it does that, a Mustang, Camaro, Porsche purpose is not off road,

If you don't know who this is, you better go find out. lol

And Ecoboost is the best set up for the Raptor. And like @jakJay says, tune all the ecoboosts.
