Tried to pass f150 eco boost today

Who isn’t concerned with power output? It’s how engines get things done.

I was simply replying to your comment about the 2.7 being hard to break. And it’s hard to break anything when you’ve got no power.

 

Both. EPA07 to GHG

Heat kills turbos.

 

its still an extra 600 - 1000 each that you wouldnt have to spend on a conventional v6/v8.

Im not sure we are on the same planet however because $600 is a ton of money just for the part.

 

They've gone down quite a bit in the last 2 years then. When I sold parts for Ford they were around $1100 each.

 

A $600 part to repair a vehicle is pocket change these days.

 

lol wtf

you live in lewisville youre out of touch buddy


down here mcallen tx mechanic would be sweating telling someone that they need a 600$ just in parts to fix the truck lol

 

Different people have different expectations. I'd 100% "risk" it if Toyota offered a turbo 6 in the Taco. The instant TQ is addicting and makes the truck so much more pleasing to drive.

 

i mean where this is going we are more than likely gonna have to.

 

You can turbo charge your truck and can blow the doors of that eco nonsense!, just an example...in 2013 Honda turbo charged a Honda Odyssey (yes, the grocery getter) that has a similar displacement engine 3.5l and went to Pikes Peak !, here are some numbers: 532 Hersepers, and 460 ft-lb torque!...i bet that Odyssey would have destroyed that f-150!

 

Not out of touch. Just work in the auto repair industry and have since 2004. Wait till you tell a duramax owner his truck need $12,000 worth of injectors. Or a Jaguar/Land Rover owner that their brake job is going to be $3200. Lol.

 

The 3.5L ecoboost F150's make that with bolt on mods and a tune.

 

I push a 4 sec 0-60 with this tune

 

that actually proves my point kinda. Rich dudes not worried about 600 getting their trucks fixed.

Yea i work with big rigs to some extent 1k injector is always a hard pill to swallow.

 

I just assumed we were on the same page since we're talking $40k+ trucks.

 

I love ethanol.

 

Shit, we got beat by two toothless hicks in a beat-up older Ridgeline in my wife's Tacoma, and we run 4.88s and OVTune. The truck just dies above 95 mph. Then again, we didn't buy it because it's fast (but the first words out of my mouth, to my wife, were "we need the OVTune TT set-up").

 

I mean people buy these things used too lol

you keep proving my point lol

 

i am glad you and your wife share the same goals of beating 2 hicks driving a 10year old ridgeline past 100mph

 

Nah, but it does hurt the ol' pride a little bit.

 

It’s funny how so many people get butthurt over turbo, and the ecoboost.
Will this trend continue when the New Tundra rolls out with twins?

Maybe I should of asked this on Friday. But fk it. Everyday is Friday in 3rd gen forum on Tacoma World
