Do you think my dealership would notice if I slotted these in?

I doubt it, at least with the Turbo's, but they may notice the required new fuel pump, injectors, and custom tune. And if your replacing the Turbo's you should also upgrade to these CPE downpipes which will surely be noticed the moment you drive into your dealership's parking lot.

Listen Linda. I just need to live in my fantasy world for a good five minutes and then I'll be fine.

600+ HP with fewer mods and less weight than the V8 conversion? Yeah, I'd do it.

 

[TurboS]

The above Big HP numbers on Ethanol require upgraded fuel pump and injectors, available on Full-Race.com below. I would also expect needing a custom tune and a larger Intercooler.

hey guys - I have these installed on my Braptor daily driver and can answer any questions

Do you think my dealership would notice if I slotted these in?

for what it's worth i just tried that out... brought in for an oil change with stock intake installed and they did not notice. i had to point out the turbo speed sensor mounts to get any eyebrows raised

its worth noting that the OEM downpipe is the most difficult part of the turbo install. Upgrading to aftermarket downpipes like the SPD makes the entire turbo install 3 times easier (i dont know CPE but assume its the same)

Any chance you are the same "greybeard" from the other raptor forum? If yes, I love the turbo installation thread you put together

Larger Turbo's also require upgraded fuel pump and injectors, available on Full-Race.com below. I would also expect needing a custom tune and a larger Intercooler.

For the record - the OEM bronco raptor fuel system is robust! Fuel system upgrades are not required. In fact because most Broncos are pump fuel applications they are octane limited before fuel capacity limits. And considering the majority of enthusiasts are looking for reliable power gains on a stock engine/transmission it's not mandatory to upgrade fuel pump and injectors unless shooting for big power on Ethanol.

hope this helps, if you want more info / photos / details im happy to post up

Nope. Honestly, these are two of my firsts. Well three actually....

First Ford
First turbo
First twin turbo

I gotta say, I am very impressed. My typical response to anyone who asks how I like my BRaptor? - I have never had more fun in a vehicle.

Since you volunteered to divulge information, what's your overall impression? What's the butt-dyno, sound, etc.?

the backstory if interested: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/full-races-gen-2-5-raptor-build.104036/ (I am obsessed with raptors) Currently I have (2) Gen 2's, (1) Gen 3 Raptor, the braptor and my dad just bought a ranger raptor.

Overall impression: Braptor is very special... I personally did not plan on buying one. We previously had a 2.7L bronco sasquatch at Full Race for the 2.7L garrett turbo kit development. That truck boogies with the turbos and tune! such a massive improvement in FUN... But coming from all the F150 Raptor experience I've accumulated, I did not love the sasquatch suspension and chassis compared to my gen3 raptors. So then I drove the exact setup but with Fox 2.5" wildtrak shocks back-to-back VS a stock Braptor.

Needless to say later that week I owned my braptor. It doesnt seem to get much mention, however there are many similarities between Gen3 f150 raptor. My only complaint on the braptor is the fuel tank is too small!

thank you for the warm welcome! I will do my best to add value and help members wherever possible. I took a look at the CPE downpipe photos, they appear to be well designed also. The specific fitment feature I'm focused on is the seperation of upper downpipe from the lower downpipe connection:

^^^the CPE features a slip fit exhaust clamp, which should be simple to slide back and drop out the front sections during the turbo removal/install.

Their competitor downpipe we've used is the SPD Bronco Raptor downpipe . I really like this downpipe because it features a V-band connection for quick and easy connect/disconnect and increased resistance to leakage:

Vbands are typically more expensive to manufacture than a slip fit. Partly labor (fitment must be perfect during welding or the part doesnt lineup perfectly) and partly machining and materials costs. Regardless both of these options have an upper downpipe that can be seperated from the lower, and thats what will save you hours when servicing bronco raptor turbochargers

I was working on the Bronco Raptor and thought I could share with y'all a "free-lunch" mod that's also applicable for stock turbo raptors. Garrett installation instructions doesnt call this out, but I like to do it on all the installs

Background: Ford engineers use a "pre-whirl attenuator" in the OEM intake tubes in order to quiet the turbo whistle. its not quite a "restrictor plate" however it is definitely worth deleting and even with stock airbox, removing these is easy.

First is the passenger side inlet- A pair of needle nose pliers is all you need on this side (this would be replaced when installing aftermarket intakes) -

Second is the driver side inlet (this does not get replaced with aftermarket intakes) -- i use a pair of flush cutters and then fold each fin over to delete them. Not mandatory, but to do the job right I touch up the high spots with a dremel

last is if upgrading to an S&B intake, I make a carbon fiber cover to replace the cheesy plexi glass cover plate. and i cap the BOV recirc and remove the tube.

All are relevant and low cost even on stock turbos. And when installing powermax turbos its the perfect opportunity to address both

Does your custom aibox lid experience the same issue as the plexi cover, getting sucked in. I got so tired of it i put the stock airbox back in.

I have not experiened this at all... the OEM airbox is remarkably restrictive compared to the S&B. Without knowing your situation, I'd wager if the S&B plexiglass lid is getting sucked in you definitely have some serious restriction issues!!! Maybe improper alignment causing the rubber boot at the front to collapse on you? it's probably best to address this in a different thread, feel free to tag me if you do start one.

Thanks this was actually a known issue with the s&b intake for many of us early adopters (got it when it first came out). sounds like they may have made some
changes since then

 

[Ninjak]

I have an S&B on my Braptor, it seems they have updated some things. My lid is hella hard to even take off, putting it back in place takes some oomf .

 

[Full-Race Geoff]

Drove to Florida and got the Braptor on the dyno @ MPT Performance to test Garrett - Advancing Motion Powermax Turbos & Gsmart turbo speed sensor module. On pump gas

 

[Tye]

what were the results?

 

[Full-Race Geoff]

Tuned safely/conservatively at 470whp / 485tq. Oem downpipe is holding things back. And I need to drive 1500 miles tomorrow morning so purposely have torque and power turned down on the 10R60 (until I get home, install a downpipe and willing to risk the stock 10R60 beyond 700nm torque)

For reference a truck that zfg tuned with the same setup AND aftermarket downpipes was around 530whp, I wasn’t willing to push things that hard with the amount of driving I need to do
