Ford F-150 EcoBoost Performance Upgrades, Granatelli Dyno Tested

Granatelli Motor Sports and Speed Revolutions dyno test a 2012 Ford F-150 V6 Ecoboost, and with bolt on performance upgrades makes horsepower and torque numbers you've got to see to believe! Each step is dyno tested!

[@christofferlunoe1305]

Super-presentation...step by step, I love it !

[@bluebladex3]

Wow this is amazing with basically just bolt ons that even a DIYer can do. Damn 400+ HP that is sports truck range. Biggest thing that amazed me are how vital the coils are in HP and torque. I'll probably just change the coils myself for the crazy jump in HP and torque with those coils. 25+ hp increase is no joke for just a 15 min job.

[@slowfudgeballs9517]

You can swap those parts but don't forget to get a proper tune. It's not going to do anything if the computer thinks you're still stock.

[@powellsa]

So the most bang for the buck appears to be coils, tune and exhaust. I know the air intake and tune were done at the same time, but from my research, aftermarket air intakes don't seem to offer much improvement over stock air intake on the EcoBoost engine.

I’d like to see these same progression of mods done to a 17+ f150 with the 2nd gen 3.5 eco boost. These numbers are impressive. One thing I’m curious is, what octane did they use? I also am curious how it affects the longevity of the transmission and the engine.

[@kevinstamp8313]

Its crazy to me now days how little people know about engine's and how to make power. By reading these commits. Boost , timing and fuel just a tune alone you can get crazy numbers the problem is running out of fuel so for big boost and timing on the stock high pressure fuel pump you need to run methanol. Or pay 1500 for a more psi mechanical fuel pump.

[@andrefleming7704]

I did all that to my Subaru wrx and I got 303 whp but for f150 that’s insane

[@headplant6]

I just bought a 2012 f150 ecoboost twin turbo. Love it. Wish I had the funds to do a makeover. Had 147,000 klm. A question: the previous owner did a cold air intake, but did the vent to atmosphere. Is there any downfalls to having this done? I noticed oil spray where they vent.

[@drunkinmaster1]

c barteaux buy a catch can, and a metanol kit. Chances are that your intake valves have some coking on them. Newer ecoboost engines have a secondary throttle body injection to work in conjunction with the direct injection to clean the valves up. The methanol kit should clean it up while increasing your pre-ignition threshold.

[@Jaredbar]

grab you one of the 140 dollar catch can kits and roll with it.

[@michaelhill6627]

As a former EcoBoost F150 owner I wouldn't go any higher than 17 psi. I was running 22 peak and completely destroyed the engine at 48k miles. I had a CAI, Tune, catless down pipe and straight pipe from there. The thing was mustang GT fast for about 6 months before it blew. Luckily it was covered under warranty but I'll never mess with the EcoBoosts again! A ford 5.0 can handle a few hundred extra HP with no issues the ecoboost can't.

Just want to point out that a 365 hp motor, that dyno's 279 hp has a drivetrain loss of roughly 24% not 18%.. Cause you know.. Math. Lol

[@redetroitwing]

A lot comes into play, operating temps have a big impact, if it was cold it would be much higher, I had a old supercoupe that was super charged, it would have another 60 hp in the wintertime

[@joshmiller3673]

It was a 6 year old truck at the time, it likely didn't make the advertised number at the crank with 6 years of wear and tear.

Not necessarily... every dyno is different and is only good for comparing before and after results. That’s it. Some dynos show this engine stock upwards 330 hp.

I know for fact the coils are 50 state legal and dont void the warranty. All tuners do for sure - however, Ford sells their own and it does not void it - naturally they want to push you directly to their shi-zzle

I never understood loss of HP from crank to wheel and why it’s calculated in percentage. If an engine has 100 hp at the crank and only registers 82 hp at the wheel, then it’s an 18 hp loss m (18%). However, if you that that engine up to 1000 hp without changing the transmission, drive shaft, or wheel/tire, why is the loss all of a sudden 180 hp? Why wouldn’t the loss still be 18 hp?
