I bought an engineered kit from Mishimoto for my 2016 2.7 ecoboost and put almost 200k miles on the truck with it. Best investment ever. I installed the catchcan at about 25k miles. And cleaned the throttle body and all three MAP sensors. I checked those another 2 times i owned the truck and they were clean. So absolutely worth ot on the ecoboost. Never once had an issue wirh that truck increadibly reliable. All basic maint. On the 200k miles i had it.

I just installed this catch can setup and it works great. There is a sensor on the driver’s side PCV tube. It needs be installed on the hose coming off of the turbo pipe, not the valve cover or you will get an engine light.

I bought a used 2012 f150 about 5 years ago. I got a scorching good deal. It had a few items of neglect. sticky valves was one of the issues. I solved that and have no issues. I read about catch cans and opted to generate something Simler for NO cost. It is called a weep hole in the inner cooler. I leave it unplugged for the bypass gunk to drain. The weep hole serves as a port of entry for intake cleaning. It cleans the residue from the remining bypass gunk from the valve stems without messing with the downstream sensors.

I just bought an '18 F150 with 160k miles. Runs perfect, completely stock. Truck literally looks like a 20k mile truck. Previous owner def took care of it. Had full records and was Ford certified which means all oil changes were done on time and at an authorized dealer. It feels like a new truck, smells and looks like a new truck. Pulls everything I need it to. But I haven't did the mods yet, which I do plan to do. The first thing I did was put a soft tonneau cover on, which now everything stays dry in the bed. Also installed a 2nd row seat tray, which holds all my straps, fire extinguisher, and junk under the back seat. Installed husky liners which def keep the dirt off the carpet. Also installed a 3/4" hose on the evaporator drain pipe, passenger side firewall behind the wheel well liner, to prevent the common leak problem which hasn't appeared yet. I'm thinking about installing a programmer to remove the top speed limiter, and gain a little more power, lol. Not that it needs it, but why not...

@Justamedic77 Жыл бұрын

Just stumbled on this video. I have an F150 with the 3.5 ecoboost as well and love it. Agree wholeheartedly on the oil changes. I do mine every 5000 miles max. I also highly recommend adding MotorKote to your oil. I'm usually bot one for additives and snake oils but this is a good one that actually does what it says it does. Those turbos spin at 170000 RPM at highway speeds and generate a lot of heat. Those little micro ports can get clogged and no oil = kerploded turbo. It also does a lot to prevent that cam phaser rattle that these are known for. Also, after driving and parking your truck, let it idle for about 5 minutes before shutdown. It allows the turbos to cool properly and prevent premature failure. I learned that from our mechanic that maintains our fleet of ambulances that have turbo diesels.

@justinjackson7688 Жыл бұрын

The turbos in the ecoboost are also watercooled with a pump that runs after shutoff so unless you're running the engine super hard you shouldn't need to idle it, but it never hurts to err on the side of caution after a big drive.

@Justamedic77 Жыл бұрын

They put the tag over the cooler to cut down on condensation getting in the system. Now they use shutter vents. The water in the system was causing plug problems. 2018 and newer use dual injection to help clean the valves and performance. Separators are a nice thing to have should've come from the factory with it.

@Trialnerror 2 жыл бұрын

That's really good information. Mine has the shutters and I disconnected them. My turbo knowledge comes from the aftermarket so I was thinking; "more air, more better". I had ASSumed the shutters were for mileage/EPA issues. I'll be plugging them back in now! Thanks again Pat for the great info!

@consentofthegoverned5145 9 ай бұрын

You can do this with a pair of check valves and a tee. Tee the drivers side turbo inlet port to the manifold inlet with check valves on either side of the tee, and the tap of the tee to the outlet of the catch can. The inlet of the can connects to the passenger side valve cover PCV port which has a factory check valve. Put a filter on the drivers side valve cover port and you're done. Do use good hose clamps on any tubing on the manifold side of the check valve as that side gets boost pressure. Everything else will only ever see vacuum (or no) pressure.

In very cold winters, condensate in the catch can lines will freeze - unless you mount the cans so that gravity drains it into the can when you shut down the engine. My 2012 F150 (3.5L) had this trouble and oil (>1 quart) blew past a valve cover gasket. The oil leak stopped once the ice in the line melted & the crankcase pressure normalized. You southern boys won't have this problem, of course.

Had the exact same thing happen to my 2012 3.5 in the winter. Needed a new valve cover gasket. Our winters get cold enough that I will have to take the cans off for the season and replace it with the OEM hard line. Kind of defeats the purpose of the catch can setup for that part of the year, but can’t keep blowing gaskets. I am hoping that all that water condensate that forms in the winter might actually have a bit of a cleaning effect . In the summer the cans catch oil/ unburnt fuel. In the winter the amount it catches quadruples but I it seems to be 80% water.

If I recall, this sometimes resulted in excess condensation buildup which led to water vapour entering the combustion chamber and reducing engine performance. Ford's fix for this was to install a plastic shroud that partially covers the intercooler! I'm not sure if that shroud is still present in later models but I could totally believe that they would relocate the plate back to center to act as a shroud. This would save them money on two fronts.

Hi, I just bought a new 2024 Raptor that comes with the 3.5l Ecoboost. It's my first Ecoboost truck and all new to me. Have they done anything to the newer engines to improve or nullify blow by? Should I do the same upgrade now or wait for a certain amount of break in miles before I do so? Thanks

Unfortunately I already have a corrupted system on my 2018. I’ve been dealing with all the results of no catch cans. Bought this truck from my company and it has 163,000 miles. I’ve done a lot to it and it is a very nice truck but was not serviced very well. Is there any way to clean up the system? Main problem is rough idle. I put new plugs but pulled one today because of a mis fire code on 6 but the plug looks to already have a lot of soot. I’m guessing the other ones are the same. Considering drilling hole in the cooler tomorrow to see if there is a bunch of liquid corruption in there then maybe change plugs. If I could get it to idle then would install catch cans. PS - the o2 sensors on these things are totally ridiculous. No room for any kind of wrench. Had to pull exhaust to get those upstream mothers out!! I have 4 other trucks. All chevys 2006 and down with 6.0s. New trucks in my opinion are throwaways. Burn them up and buy a new one. Chevy or Ford. They don’t want you to work on them. I’m with you on new ones though, someone else can take the hit.

What are the details for making that front grill you added to your vehicle.

All new Ford’s regardless of being boosted eat up plugs it’s a dual spark ignition system. Each ignition event the plugs fire twice

Catch can is a great idea . I did a similar set up . I change out my filters once or twice a year . Ford filters . I use a product yo clean out the motor . Probably did it twice in 7 years . The cooler protection isn't a must . 160k o issue on my cooler . I did drill a tiny hole into the plastic side of the cooler to let oil out years before the catch can mod. Worked great . Still have that hole .

About buying new....I purchased a brand new 2019 F150 Lariat 502a package with moon roof FX4 in the 4th quarter of the year, got it at 0.99% Ford financed, they gave a new set of Winter tires with Ford Alloy wheel (not ugly steel rims) and Ford Tonneau Cover 50% off, with new Weather Teck mats for Free. Now coming to the point, I shopped a lot before buyin for used F150 Lariat or Platinum and none, I mean none I found which actually beat the price Ford offered for a new one...the Used price with finance monthly premium was either same as what Ford offered for a new or in some cases more..I even tried 4 years old models, no luck, so why bother buying used, I ended up buying a brand spanking new F150 loaded Lariat with all free goodies, Loving it (for family personal use).

Wow, that's a good deal! You're right, especially right now the used pricing for full size trucks is flat out insane. Carvana is offering me $10k more than what I paid for this truck. World's gone nutty.
