RESULTS!! How to get the best out of yours. Raptor Build Ep 7

[@FriedBalonyPony]

Watching the smiles on these guys while driving tells you all you need to know. Well done!

[@epskiii77]

Absolutely love learning about the next gen raptor as you guys are. The fact that you guys are working out all the kinks as you go with other local businesses which means a lot to many that you also support local aussie businesses just strengthens ff's foundations within the country. Great work as per usual guys!

[@FabulousFab__]

Thanks for the incredibly nice words mate! We really appreciate it!

[@snefman007]

So sick guys! Can't wait until the packages are up for install! Waiting for the right time to jump on the upgrade wagon with all of the smarts being applied to the vehicle! Really appreciate the effort the Fab is putting in as this time last year when I got the Raptor it was the literal desert for modifications! ❤

[@RyanH87]

Front pipes make a difference from gas temperatures and expansion, larger section for hottest part of the exhaust nets the most gains. My Evo 3.5" front pipes make a significant difference to the powerband

[@FabulousFab__]

We've started dump & front pipe development now, we're keen to see the results!

[@ivanbaez8571]

I have made mods to my raptor and it has responded very well so far. I did the tune and meth first and went from 354 whp to 417 whp, next stage was adding the intercooler and the fabulous intake. Im taking it to the dyno next weekend I hope, to see how much it gained above 417 whp. One thing I have noticed with the intake is the heat soak, today is quite cool 15c, for example, and after a short drive and starting thebtruck again the IAT was 50c, and it does not go down fast as you start driving again. I guess its due to being aluminum and closer to the turbo (as it is a larger box). Im going to try to insulate it today to see if that improves this condition before going to the dyno. When you install the phoenix intercooler you will see what I sent on my feedback to Dom about the IAT sensor location.

Love the content on the Ranger Raptor. I'm really hoping you guys continue the exhaust saga. I'd like to hear the tone get better, not just louder. Equal length from the turbo's back. maybe a "Trombone" pipe is the answer somewhere. Can't wait for future videos. Love from USA.

[@Wintersgarage_]

0-100 and 1/4 mile times will tell you the truth above all dyno’s

[@rb25detMitch07]

100% it will be way fkn louder with dumps and hi flow cats. Mine became obnoxiously loud. Fyi your washer bottle you supply with the snorkel kit on the raptor fouls on aftermarket cooler piping. Had to get mine altered to suit.

[@zippa5430]

Great vid guys. Next time you do a Q&A session could you explain the differences between the 4 inch and five inch snorkles. Trying to understand the advantages of going for the significantly more expensive 5 inch version.

[@FabulousFab__]

We will absolutely tackle that next Q&A, thanks for watching mate!

[@Paris-wo1iy]

Just new'ish to yout channel. Loving the content you guys produce. It's pretty much podcast style. Easy watchable informative content. Awesome boyz. Look forward to your future 'science' episodes 👌

[@VR4pt0r]

Great episode boys!! Looking forward to know pricing! The car sounds REALLY nice in Sport mode. Great job! Two things: 1 - Zac, please remember my “reinforced” bracket for heavy duty off road duties. 👌🏻👌🏻🍻🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺 2 - Thank you for mentioning me on last episode. “Check you diff oil lever Nathan” …haha gold. Happy new year! All the very best guys Cheers AL

[@drk20z1]

Good job boys! Loving the content

[@alexleinhardt4062]

Doh, sensational 😮😅

[@simonharvey8456]

Question direct at zac what brand briefs/underwear do you recommend for our passengers daring to get in a raptor for a test drive??

[@FabulousFab__]

hahahaahah mate, wet roads & tuned Raptor got my heart rate up

[@lukegreenway1495]

I love it.

[@god084]

Would love to see a 98 tune as well

[@FabulousFab__]

Not a bad idea at all - added to the list!

[@lovelc2006]

Thinking of doing hi flow/upgraded turbos?

[@FabulousFab__]

We sure are

[@lachlansharpe8995]

Hi do you make air box’s for the new Luxy

[@curtis4925]

What was the torque increase percentage?

[@adude9703]

245.6kw? Where's that figure from? Flywheel or wheels?

[@FabulousFab__]

That's from the wheels! Please note that every dyno and compensators are different, and it's best to look at the % increase over baseline results

[@quintin79]

How do you reckon the exhaust and tune might affect warranty?

[@rb25detMitch07]

With an aftermarket pcm calibration, unless it's herrod, you have no powertrain warranty, period.

[@quintin79]

@@rb25detMitch07 why would it only affect driveline warranty and not anything else?

[@rb25detMitch07]

@quintin79 why would tuning a vehicle impact a warranty claim for faulty head unit or suspension etc? For warranty to be void they need to prove the aftermarket modification caused the issue. Anything that goes wrong with your driveline can easily be explained by the manufacturer as being a result of the pcm reflash.

[@quintin79]

@@rb25detMitch07 you could argue same for the whole engine too though right.?

[@rb25detMitch07]

@@quintin79 you'd definitely have no factory engine warranty with a tune.

[@curtis4925]

Bring on the dump pipes

[@lukegreenway1495]

Can't wait till I can afford to spend money on mine .

[@jordanmeredith993]

The guy on the phone mentioned how the ECU is so difficult to crack. Is Jordan’s tune done via a plug in chip? Asking for the UK audience as we currently have no where offering tunes and as you all no already way down on power due to emission regulations 🙃

[@rb25detMitch07]

@jordanmeredith993 no, ford pcm reflash. BPT motorsport supply an unlocked pcm with a factory calibration that can then be tuned to suit any mods.

[@jordanmeredith993]

@@rb25detMitch07 thanks mate. Will have to contact them to see if there’s anything they can do for the UK Raptor

[@LS944]

​@jordanmeredith993 do you think however that the ecoboost installed in the European models is exactly the same with the 400hp one and the only difference is the tune and petrol particulate filter? Or could ford possibly supply a cheaper version of the motor for eu with different parts in it for the 300hp class.

[@dannyrexknight]

Was that a joke about rods or are you guys really going the whole hog?

[@janco2061]

The south african version makes 292kw from factory why are your raptor so low on power when standard

[@s1xone611]

They’re the same as SA version. You’re comparing flywheel power (stock) to power at the wheels.

[@FabulousFab__]

Spot on @s1xone611!

[@mikeycassey8507]

Toyota fanboys quietly waiting for the Ranger Raptor to break down but it doesn't despite the abuse it's copping.

[@nicholaswicks3077]

Toyota need to release a GR hilux with a real sized engine 😂
