Ecoboost First Day Mods Part 1: Turbo "Silencer" Removal & VTA

Рет қаралды 48,761

Күн бұрын

Next to free mods you can do to your Ecoboost F-150 to up the fun factor a little bit. We will be removing the vortex generator rings for the turbos and making our diverter valve act like a blow off valve by venting excess boost pressure to the atmosphere. The difference is hard to capture on video, but it's definitely noticeable to your ear and should make you smile every time! Subscribe for Part 2!

Those are NOT turbo silencers, they help spin the incoming air for faster spooling, some dingbact said the are silencers and everyone with a KZfaq channel jumps on it spreading the bs

@GooseAutoWorks 8 ай бұрын

Yep. I think they actually call them vortex generators. But a lot of people have reported being able to hear the turbos more, and I’ve had no adverse consequences. No doubt less turbulent air flow, while better for efficiency, also decreases NVH, but up to the individual user if the juice is worth the squeeze so to speak. Plus it’s easily 100% reversible.

The hot side compressor is the only place anything matters. If you think swirling inlet air before it hits the cold side wheel does anything you're mistaken.

@justinbales5378 3 ай бұрын

They are for nvh and are actually aimed counter the rotation of the turbos. So whatever they call them.

Facts

@stevemoerman4016 2 ай бұрын

They do help spool faster, but by STOPPING air rotation, so that the turbulence is eliminated where the intake splits. Otherwise the vortexes from the turbos would travel backwards up to the intake split and then turbulence and resistance would result.

A small cone filter with metal top makes it sound a lot better than open tube. Trust me I did it today and listened to it both ways. With filter it sounds so much better. Like I said, I used a small filter similar to a cold air intake filter. It spanks !

Like a breather filter? I’m familiar. Now I’m curious. I might have to give it a shot lol. Thanks!

How do you attach the breather ? Is there some sort of coupler you need ?

@GooseAutoWorks 7 ай бұрын

Usually it’s just a hose clamp. In this case you’d probably want a breather that would fit over the diverter valve nub.

My 22 eco 2.7 is loud as fuck without the silencers and the VTA mod. Literally sounds like a diesel truck spooling up now😂 My wife heard me coming through our neighborhood 1/4 mile away👍🏻🤙🏻

I know some people could never hear theirs. I always could, and can hear them better now. And then the VTA is an obvious difference. But none of it’s meant to be too serious. Just an easy mod for fun. Sorry it didn’t work out for you, but thanks for watching.

@patrickcarter966 Жыл бұрын

I took mine out and unhooked the vta and put a filter on it..nothing really but a cool little pshh when you let off i recommend hole in bottom of intercooler so it can drain or just get a new truck

@GooseAutoWorks 11 ай бұрын

Yeah more of a fun little thing to do that doesn’t take much time and is next to free. Plus it’s just as easily reversible if you wanted.

On my 17' with the 3.5 I coould hear the turbos when towing under boost......my 19' with the 3.5 can't hear a thing.Odd??

@GooseAutoWorks 11 ай бұрын

I know that some people say they can’t hear their turbos or can only hear them on hard acceleration. I’ve always heard them clearly. Especially now. Im not sure what the difference is.

@tyheitman4167 8 ай бұрын

its because after 2017 ford used bigger turbos that spool slower which is why the newer ones dont whistle

@TheLawlessGang 7 ай бұрын

wromg they are indeed bigger turbos but now with elecgronic wastegates if u want real turbo sounds the 11-16 3.5 have the manual wastegates

@jcrayliftek2011 7 күн бұрын

I can’t hear the turbos on my 19 either. My 22 transit I hear them though. Weird

@CooperJohnson-gd9nb 2 ай бұрын

are there any disadvantages to removing the “silencer” and VTA system?

@GooseAutoWorks 2 ай бұрын

No. The “silencers” are basically just for NVH. The VTA just makes the diverter valve act as a blow off valve. My fuel economy hasn’t changed at all and it sounds a lot better in my opinion.

OK how come nobody saying that when you undo the blow off valve you no longer need to buy the oil catch can how come nobody talks about that

@GooseAutoWorks 7 ай бұрын

Hello. So those systems don’t really overlap. My catch cans still collect oil blow by. The plumbing removed from the diverter valve puts it back into the intake pre-throttle body. The lines that carry oil blow by come from the valve cover and crankcase.
