We Put BIGGER TURBOS On Our 2020 Ford Raptor! | Garrett Turbo + Intercooler Upgrade!

Update video here • FASTER 0-60 With ONE S...
As Ford unleashes the newest Raptor, many are concerned over its small displacement Twin Turbo V6 engine compared to its previous generation that offered a beefier N/A 6.2L V8. But we quickly discovered the great potential that the Ecoboost engine has, with just a few modifications! This is where Garrett Turbos comes in - watch us upgrade the factory turbos and intercooler, dyno it to see the power increase, and put the Raptor through the ultimate test.

good move dynoing the intercooler. most would not have taken the time

[@vivid_racing]

Thank you! We do it for the enthusiasts like you.

[@Captain-Awesome]

Yeah it was great seeing how much power these trucks gain with just that one change.

[@boobacockaa]

Too bad the cam phaser issue makes these unreliable in the long term.

[@Captain-Awesome]

@@boobacockaa I have a 2020, I am unaware of the cam phaser issue. Is that something that plagued them all?

[@boobacockaa]

Captain Awesome - yessir. Mine is a 2018, and my wife’s f150 is a 2019… both have it. Hers was fixed after 57,000 miles. Mine has ~20k miles and the phaser issue is just starting to get annoying. Seems to be in nearly all the 3.5L ecoboosts, most years get included into the tech bulletins, slowly but surely.

[@DirtE30]

Would like to know if there was a boost pressure increase or are these gains purely based on flow improvements?

[@randysrestoration]

I swapped in a 2020 Raptor Crate engine (1 of only 5 ) with a 10R80 into my '66 F100 Shortbed then added that Garrett cooler and it made 603/658 to tire but that was on E50 and my tire wheel combo is only 49 lbs. Truck is 3900 lbs so scoots pretty well. I think in the 3's to 60 if I can get it to hook.

[@marlboroman6370]

Very impressive gain with the intercooler alone.

[@SM-mj8sj]

That turbo appears to be damaged right out of the box!? Maybe I'm mistaken but at 6:34, the inlet has a large flat spot.

[@xxdemonshitxx]

You should've seen the first set I received from Full-Race. The compressor blades had all kinds of cracks, holes, and imperfections I had to return them. The second set was WAY better...it's amazing Garrett's quality control would let garbage like that pass.

I think regearing to a bit lower gear size to compensate for the 20% tire loss would be helpful. After all, you can’t cheat physics. Ford designed that truck to run the factory tire size it was given, not 37s. Pretty cool build guys!

[@kleodemontes1997]

It's Easy to get more power. But to get more power without forfeiting reliability is hard. That's the reason purpose built track cars only see 2 to 3 days of use out of a motor. And there are plenty of videos where they blow an engine in the first run, but hey they made 3000 horsepower even if it was for only 3 seconds XD.

It’s pretty crazy, but I bought these Garret turbos also, and when mine arrived, the female plug on the Westgate actuator was snapped completely off straight from the box. When you’re spending almost 4 grand on a set of turbo, kinda expected to be perfect, right? They also forgot to send my $800 install kit that I purchased and ended up waiting in additional two weeks. Doing all the work by myself I had it all planned out and this threw a serious wrench into my plans, but what do they care? Lol
