Intercooler and downpipe would have been a much better performance gain for the money versus a cat back.
Quinn: Loosens a single bolt. Ricky: woooooooooooooooo!!! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! That is awesome!!!! Wooooohooooo!!!!
These guys are making entire builds for 1 YouTube video
The downpipe and intercooler on these are a must along with 1 step colder plugs. With those an intake and tune your u can run upwards of 30 lbs of boost easily. I am also going off of info from the first gen Eco's the intercooler may be bigger than it used to be.
At 11:20 Ricky's accent had me questioning the editors "beep" abilities 😂
You guys should make a video or a series on how you pick parts; I think that would be helpful for those wanting to pick parts for mods on their own projects and a fun watch
Finally a big name Ecoboost build! I love mine (FBO 10r80)
This was so fun ... who wants to see part 2 !!😅
the 3.7 V6 S550 examples are also worth checking out, especially as they're NA Motors and it can make really good sounds with a catback mods
This is a great example of choosing the right parts for your build! E blend, downpipe, IC, and more boost probably would've got you similar results without popping the motor
I wanna see them build a modern version of Ironhide from Michael Bays transformers. He's a gmc topkick c4500
I like that you built a car that a lot of people have. Bigger turbo next?
YESSSSS FINALLY 😊😊😊 you know how long I’ve waited for yall to make this video
Likely bent a rod. Stock block/internals on the 2.3 can't handle much more than 400hp, 450 tops. With the 175 shot it was probably making over 500hp. If Quinn wants to build it to make that much power, the recipe is pretty simple. 2.0 block (from a Fusion, Focus, etc) with the 2.3 head. Upgraded rods/pistons. Can reuse stock crankshaft and head (if they aren't damaged). That'll handle 500hp no problem. Ecoboost is a great platform though, especially if you aren't chasing big power. The 50/50 weight balance is hard to beat. Mine is a time attack build and a daily driver and it's great at both.
8:46 nothing HP wise will change until you get high flow cats and headers
I’m new to the car community so watching u guys helps me learn a lot Ty Ty 💪
That screen is going to start flashing, "Danger to Manifold"
I’m so happy you guys pushed it till you broke it, that’s how real progress is made best episode 🤩🤩🤩
@Ricky “We need MORE NITROUS!!!” “Are we getting 7.9 or are we getting a new engine” 🤣 💀
