Ford Dealer addressing turbo lag and poor throttel response

[Gsteve]

This is gonna be good. I’d love to see the look on the service writers face. You can barely get them to fix things that exist !

You can easily and quickly do the throttle reset procedure anywhere. Try it and you will find that you get the responsiveness back.

 

[Gsteve]

if you have a tune , will the reset still work?

Yep - it will. Again, you are just resetting the travel path. This is not a tuning parameter.

Will this affect my pedal commander horsepower addition?

I don't think you know what turbo lag is. Could you describe it and I'll explain what turbo lag actually is.

And the throttle response ford won't alter. That's part of the EPA controlled tune and cant be legally adjusted

Obviously you didn't get my attempt at "tongue in cheek" humor. Sorry to have made you waste your electrons responding...

Of course Ford isn't going to do anything!!! Even though the stock Gen2 is a somewhat dangerous sled in normal aggressive traffic situations unless you are pushing it pretty hard, they will work to upgrade fleet mpg standards at the expense of performance.

The turbo lag I can live with (it comes with the territory), but the poor throttle response in this vehicle will lead to wrecks. Kind of like automakers' original attempts at traction control. A body shop's dream...

Don't get me wrong, the GEN2 has great, smooth HP and torque response under hard driving conditions. Sport mode, lock out gears 7-10, use the paddle shifters and this truck rocks. Ran mine thru the paces in the mountains last weekend under the parameters above. Go on fast dirt BLM roads (CO and WY), lock out 6-10, take off traction control and have a ball!

I just have to be careful around town in Normal mode when pulling out into traffic or changing lanes on the freeway.

BTW: My understanding of turbo lag is the momentary delay in increased intake air flow due to the fact that upon acceleration demand, the engine has to build sufficient exhaust flow/pressure to spool up the turbo to gain full intake boost airflow/psi.

As a side note: Mercedes/AMG (and others) are working on some interesting solutions. AMG is converting to a 48 volt electrical system to drive an in-line intake booster pump ahead of the twin turbos. As you probably know, without a variable frequency drive, an electric motor is essentially instant on. The electric intake booster pump gives instant (perceived to the driver) boost and once the conventional turbo lag is passed, the electric boost shuts off. All occurs in milliseconds. Pretty cool pairing of hybrid/conventional technologies.

I hope you have a nice day.

I haven't been there that long, but I'd have to imagine this is at or near the very top of the dumbest things ever asked on FRF

Where haven't you "been there"?

You just need to make sure your turbo increaser is turned on. There's a button in the back passenger seat glove box.

Respectfully, I'm not sure that you fully understand your truck. My turbo increaser button is in the trunk, just to the right side of the trunk release. You might have been referring to the ***** presser button in the back passenger seat glove box.

Considering how utterly retarded your post is, I am not at all surprised you couldn’t figure out what my post said. What can you do?

You are the idiot that crashes a car and then blames it on the car. Too bad the rest of us have to share the road with morons like you.

Have you performed the throttle reset procedure as explained? This is all you need to do. It needs done every once in a while because of how it learns driving habits.

Actually, the raptor is a highly intelligent piece of artificial intelligence.

After it "learns" your habits for a while, it can even drive autonomously.

I'm actually afraid of it getting too smart, so I mix up my driving patterns to keep it from learning too much.
