New Ford Ranger Raptor gets tuned to 600HP

It hasn't taken long for the Ford Ranger faithful to modify the latest Ranger Raptor generation. The crew at Turbo Smart wanted to improve the already crazy Ranger Raptor with a few, easy upgrades.
It turns out it's not that hard to get an extra 240HP from the standard 3-litre, turbocharged V6. Check out the upgrades the crew installed in this model as well as how they plan to extract even more power from it going forward. Let us know what you think of this build in the comments below.

Absolute menace of a bakkie...never had anything like this in Sa..give some respect to Ford...nothing comes close to this thing

[@gazg00]

Agreed........this is what we needed from a Raptor, not that 2l Ecoboost engine.

[@dicksmith1270]

Have to agree can appreciate everything.. But they really sound shit.. Like a towtruck.. terrible.. Stock also has a Kak sound..

Why are we using horse power and not kilowatt?

[@keloduma]

We trying to be trendy to the world

[@Ilikepie18855]

I prefer hp over kw, i often convert. Hp is the way to go.

[@lesedimpomane_sa929]

Horsepower sounds more dramatic than kilowatts...

[@tmtmtmtmt1]

Exactly my thoughts

[@BravoFox27]

I personally prefer Llama Thrust...

Hilux GRS will be relaunched with even bigger Tupperware wheel arches after seeing this

That will be awesome! The more the mnfrs out build each other the better for us end users

I wonder if the Raptor motor is almost the same as the Ford GT motor? If thats the case this motor got massive potential,if you got the money to pay for that potential

[@rsavids8191]

R1mil bakkie plus modifications, then you go and put the cheapest tires you can find on it

[@BeardedTracker]

Don't we measure engine power in kilowatts? I get confuse when people measure engine output in horsepowers?

[@takuem]

Great stuff man! I am keen to see where this goes and the commercial product we can all sign up for. What does it take to get access to the ECU & get Ford to warranty upgrades? Guys in Ozzie have already managed to do this.

[@ancient.journey]

Sawaddee krap🙏 What company flash new ranger v6 raptor ECU?

[@ronz91]

Why use horse power in the title?

[@nickwest2158]

Probably cause it sounds more...600hp is 447KW

[@budgiebee7530]

Nice bro!!! Respect

[@MrMartinHattingh]

The way that arm rests on the steering wheel… Dik tril.

[@ArchieMakuwa]

There is a gentleman I usually see in Kempton Park who has swapped the boring white Ford Ranger engine with a Mustang V8 - the thing sounds mean. It would be nice to see him on the show or see his bakkie side-by-side with this gentleman's bakkie.

[@RC-Analysis]

Talk to BPT Motorsport in Australia. They already unlock the ECU.

[@stuartmunto4755]

Yep, Herrod and BPT have been given full access to the ECU by Ford, and both companies offer a factory backed warranty performance upgrade I think maybe Hennessey in the US may have been given access too, as there's rumours they are working on a performance upgrade also

[@Doomdod]

Can you provide the links for the products ? Would be thankful

[@spy2sa54]

Don't these have an opendeck block? Doubling the power is great but I think it's a bit risky.

[@marololazarus7550]

Never heard of Turbo Smart before.. HM Auto measures power on the engine, like measuring your height when you include your platform shoes. Meh

Skeptical..... how did you get around the well known, and almost GARANTEED 1st to 2nd faceplant issue with the 10R60 after it makes more power than stock? All the tuners in the US are saying theres no tunes for these yet. Weird, as the ST and bronco R both use the 3.0 and 10R60. 90% of people wont accept running a meth tune, hell most dont even like the daily pain in the ass of mixing ethanol tunes. Its not screaming "600hp" from the video, looks like stock pulls.
