GEN3 Ford Raptor R Owner Pics!

No bash. But you must have a really poor running R. I have not been in any tuned 3.5 that will run with the R. I am sure they are out there, but they have a butt load of work, ie. larger turbos etc. installed to pull an R.

No the R is not going to run with your Mclaren (lets see pictures) but it is still very froggy.

Also, if your oil is that black you may have something going on. Yes a forced induction engines oil is darker but it shouldn't be that bad. Mine is at 3K miles and still looks like honey.

It's a street racer. Stage 3 kit pure 900 turbos. It's a weapon

Thanks bud for the compliment. I like it

There is a huge , like over 200hp drop at my elevation on the R. The EB makes up for some of the loss with turbo charging plus its lighter. My R run really well at see level would smoke an EB.

Agreed. The r is overhyped. I love it but it's slow(for me anyways). Sounds good though and is faster than majority of vehicles on the road. If I want a street race I'll grab the mclaren lol

That's why I can't wait for the new supercharger and tune to be ready.

On a different note.. I changed my oil for the 2nd time(first time at 800 miles, this time at 3,800 miles).. oil was BLACK. I believe this engine needs oil changing every 3k minimum. My eb raptor changed oil at 5k- oil you could still see thru it(just for reference).
The oil I use for the r is 5w-50 Motorcraft full syth.

The advantage you get from turbos at altitude is identical to the advantage you get running a blower. The higher the pressure ratios, the bigger the advantage. I.e., 1atm of boost on a turbo vehicle vs 1atm of boost on a supercharged vehicle will see the same power reduction at the same altitude. At 1atm of boost you’re running at a 2atm MAP, while a n/a motor would be running at 1atm. If ambient pressure is 50% sea level for example, the n/a vehicle would lose 50% power, while the boosted vehicle would only lose 25% since it would still be at 1.5atm MAP, turbo or supercharger doesn’t matter.

The 3.5 has an advantage because the factory boost levels are about 6-7 psi higher than the predator.

Nice. Too bad we’re so far away. Would be fun to compare. View attachment 449123

Camaro 572. High 7s (way high, haha). Porsche tuned. Not 900HP but probably around 750ish.

That’s interesting, in my experience I’ve always seen that oil gets dirtiest the fastest in turbo vehicles.
