shobiz Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I hope this isn't a dumb question, but I'm under the impression that the F150 and SHO have the same 3.5L Ecoboost engine. Why and how does the F-150 put out so much more torque than the SHO? I know they both are rated at 365hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racerx78 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 The engine design and displacement are the same. I don't have the exact specs but i know the F150 gets stronger internals, stronger bottom end, larger exhaust flow and larger turbos(Borg Warner K03 for truck version, Garrett GT15 for other applications) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kolk1 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 why u shatter my dreams. I dont know the details, but somebody or maybe even a couple people, had OEM turbos that were rebuilt bigger doing over 500. Get those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggus Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 What is the pricing on the turbo only upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Fellow EBOF member's Darreli, & 1stSHO are the only two that are running the upgraded turbo's. But traction has been an issue due to the power they are each putting down (like 440awhp & 530awtq around there). Besides reworking the internals, utilizing better seals, the biggest difference is the upsizing of the inlet wheel. Stock inlet wheel is 38mm, if memory serves me correctly, the upgraded turbos use 55mm wheels. I believe pricing, for the turbo's themselves only, are around like $2,500 or so for the pair. That includes you supplying cores. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yowen2000 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 So if my engine blows, I should do an F150-EB swap? I imagine that'd be a nightmare project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Aftermarket pistons and rods are in the works.... "In the works" :noidea: LMS already created them. Last Summer actually..... I'll look around & dig up the thread.
