Free Horsepower Torque and fuel economy intake mod Ford Expedition, F150, 4 6 and 5 4 2v V8 engine
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 ноя 2020
- I recently purchased an 03 Ford Expedition with the 5.4 2v V8 engine. I am showing how to make a free performance intake as a specific addition to the Free horsepower intake video done years ago. This one is for Ford 5.4, 4.6 V8 engines in the F150 250 350, E series Van, Expedition, Excursion, and the same intake believe it or not is in some of the Ford 4.6 mustangs too. This video is from my Mad Boosting Channel and I decided to post it on here too since I do not have many subscribers to Mad Boosting yet. Please Subscribe to MAD BOOSTING, share, like, and check out all my new videos there.

"You can hear the less restriction!" Genius at work.
I tried the air box mod, with one from a junk yard. It did nothing. I put the OEM one back on. The cool air, is drawn in from behind the fender, not the hot engine compartment. Over 100 degrees MAF air temp, timing is retarded and power is reduced, to prevent detonation.
I'd like to clarify something here. The smallest diameter passage in the air intake system on these 5.4's is in fact where the intake hose connects to the fender. Removing that bottle neck will in fact increase your engines ability to breathe and subsequently increase torque, not horsepower, as there will be less air restriction acting upon the physical leverage applied to the crankshaft from the pistons. However, the increase is minute unless you are accustomed to pulling a decent load on a trailer (more that 2,000lbs.) Also, when cruising under minimal acceleration your fuel mileage will decrease and changes in air pressure will cause your engine to run more rich during cruising which will over time cause more carbon to build on valves and piston tops increasing predetonation.
I ave tried this and many shortcut mods on my 02 Expedition XLT 5.4 and the gains are never worth the trade offs.
There is no shortcut to performance. Either put in the effort in research, money and wrench time in for performance gains or leave it alone.
If you want a quick a noticeable increase in performance without shortening your engine's life, save up for a 400$ tuner. Put a tune on it and leave it alone. You'll get up to 25hp/40ftlbs torque gains if that's all you do. Get rid of the factory mufflers and put a 40$ turbo muffler on it to let it breathe a little better but dont bypass your catalytic converters. They are most of what is keeping your heads clean. If you want real gains you're looking at heads, cam, pistons, rods and intake/injectors.
Performance can be had a on a budget, but no comparison to spending thousands on tuning and engine building. Not everyone has the big money and many of my ideas can get you by until you invest the big money.
@@budgetboostingI saw that you removed the heat shield; I hadn't thought of this before. What do you think the purpose is for the shield ?
@@waynebaker5720keeps the hood from overheating. The heat of the engine plus the heat of the sun boils the paint as well as warps the hood over time from the constant extreme heat cycles
Congratulations. You just turned your cold air intake into a hot air intake, and lowered your air density. It will make more noise and less power unless you drive with the hood off the car.
Do not do this! See the hose leading towards the engine? That is 3” in diameter. The inlet for the air cleaner only needs to be THAT size, by cutting away the air filter protection all you have done here is exposed that filter to rain and puddles. Do the gotts mod and that’s it.
Removing the engine cover does nothing for under hood temps, and removing the insulation will actually increase temps due to the hot hood. I would try trimming just the top of the filter housing, and leave the bottom as a heat shield. Maybe even trim the top back more. Yes it is getting hotter air than using the factory tube, but the volume is greater, even through a factory filter so there will be a small gain. The trick is getting maximum air flow while still staying with in the parameters of the Maf and factory tune.
Yes actually it does help to pull that big huge piece of plastic off the top of your engine that gets severely heat soaked and hotter than Hades if you think that doesn't hold more heat into the engine and engine bay you're silly that's like telling me if you added another one on top of it or another one on top of it that it wouldn't get any hotter really now you have three huge hunks of plastic that sucking a ton of heat and get hot as hell to the touch alone try taking it off your car on a hot summer day after driving they're pretty damn hot aren't they set it down on the sidewalk and feel it in about 20 minutes if there isn't a breeze blowing to cool it off it's still going to be pretty damn hot plastic retains heat quite well open your hood on a nice hot day after driving and feel how damn hot that air is how much of it hits you in your face reach your hands out there and run over the top of that big plastic cover and feel everything good then take it off and go drive around for a while then open up your hood and tell me there isn't a difference bud I could tell the difference on my old Subaru years ago and it only had a 12-in x 12 in little plastic cover on top of the motor my ml55 AMG has about a 2 ft wide by 2 ft long hunk of plastic on top of the engine and that sucker gets hot very I have three of those SUVs at the present moment and all three of them have that thing off and hanging in one of my storages also took the insulation out from under the hood of those particular SUVs same thing noticeable difference and I don't know this my hood being any hotter cuz after maybe 15 minutes of driving with the insulation under the hood the insulation gets hot as hell and so does the hood now I have a big old piece of heat soaked blanket 5 in above my engine stopping all the hot air that's under there from dissipating and going anywhere my hoods are cooler to the touch in the summer after driving when you open the hood up and all that hot air and Funk and smell hit you it's half of what it was with that big piece of plastic on top of the engine and that big old blanket right above it those things aren't exactly made out of a space-aged material you know they're not reentering Earth's atmosphere trying to keep heat out when they build automobiles they're just building cars and the reason for that crap being on the underside of your hood is so your hood doesn't get so hot from your idling engines engine stuck in traffic and just some cars run way hotter than others and the tolerance and space between the engine and hood are different than others it's there to protect your paint actually. You saying removing that cover makes no difference is like telling me the intercooler sitting on top of a WRX engine doesn't get heat soaked and is way more efficient than it being down in the front bumper catching cold air

Also the purpose of the slight restriction on the intake is you have a high pressure going to a slightly lower pressure which makes air cooler and denser being able to pack more Air into a smaller space. Engineers designed it that way for a reason.
Engineers work with limited resources to make hp and maintain emissions while at the same time the bean counters say you got $12 to work with for design and parts. When end users decide to modify stuff they are looking at hp and power and economy not emissions or trying to save 12 cents on each part. Yeah the engineers may be smarter but they are always working with their hands tied and not allowed to do the smart stuff only the crap they are allowed to do. this is the reason divisions like SVT can make massive improvements all around because they have a wider room to work with. the cars are limited production so the emission requirements are less strict and they can apply more expensive parts to the problem because the list price is higher etc.. A smart engineer designing a dumb set up is still producing crap it is just that he knows it. doesnt change the fact that it is a crappy set up.
You forgot those engineers are designing for comfort and quickness just as much as efficiency. Main goal ISNT HP and Tq. Meaning HP and TQ is sacrificed for comfort
NOPE, its for the velocity of the air to work for the MAF
I see yet another topic where you’re never gonna get a good answer.
@@jimmylarge1148 no, there is a perfect answer, DO NOT modify it.
Good job broThanks
Great idea, the maf will sense the hot air and retard the timing to help with detonation. The inlet whole is small grower to large to make the air move at a higher velocity and make it denser which means colder and carrying more O2. You literally made your car more vulnerable to dirt and dust in order to decrease overall performance and hp, get lower mileage and probably detonation if your maf isn't working perfectly.
Runs great thanks
@@budgetboosting He may have said it sarcastically but he is not WRONG. Take it from professional mechanics that know exactly how the engine works and how the computer takes sensor inputs to meter out air fuel trims and timing curves. The key here was to make not only free flowing air input but COLD as the temperature of the incoming air has everything to do with the power out put and timing that is the reason they put a air temperature sensor in the intake. You think you made improvements simply because you HEAR the engine better nothing more. you are in denial
When a non engineer thinks their, ‘little philosophy on things”, is sound. Not to say that car manufacturers don’t, dumb cars down for average consumer appeal. But that, “dumb little thing”inlet of the air box creates clean air flow (as in laminar) and demonstrates Bernoulli’s principle. But you know better, because, hey it’s louder right? 15 to 20 hp gain. Put down the pipe sir, whatever it is you’re smoking must a’ got you good.
Instructions unclear sir now my engine is out and I’m on the toilet texting you this😂
Air in the engine compartment is hot hot hot withing 5 minutes its 180 plus degree air being pulled in by radiator fan and if you have ac then also heat from condenser
When you cut that intake tube, aren't you now sucking in the hotter air from the engine. Will that lower your hp?
Nope. Look under where cool air enters. Much better than factory tiny hole leading to fender where there is very little flow. Try and you will feel the difference. My engine has 250,000 miles and it performs better than lower mileage engines. When I do engine swap with lightning supercharged engine it will really wake up.
@@TTATurbochargeThemAll Incorrect especially in high temperature climates, go put your code reader on it and check your iat temps, you need to be pulling the air from the fender where its not so hot, you can modify the intake and increase the diameter yet still be getting air from the fender, i have it done on my 2001 5.4
Yes what he just did is create a hot air intake and will cost you power his logic is completely wrong it's been prove.
ruclips.net/video/1O4kmds3_u8/видео.html
@@kevinhofer2122 honest question. So a cold air intake does no good?
Imagine thinking you know more than engineers.
When I was in High School way back when around 4 decades ago... I wanted to be an automotive engineer until I found out it would take a decade of school. Well I ended up joining the military for 21 years active and 9 reserves, 30 years total. Well I learned many mechanical techniques on the fighter aircraft, their engines, and structures on four different aircraft carriers on countries in the gulf. Not an engineer but have an aviation background in combat climate.
You're not an engineer and no-one cares that you were a squid.Chill.You didn't gain anything by doing doing you did.
All you had to do was remove the last bit that goes onto the quarter panel 🤣🤣
You just messed up that air intake for hot air. Lol
😂😂😂
Look at the throttle body size... same size as what he calls a bottle neck....don't make any difference. Throttle body is the restriction
hell yeah, free hot air intake!!!!
who needs the oem cold air intake anyways?
Thanks to you.. I budget boost
All my car and some.. have a good day..love from hayward California!
Someone didn't pay attention in physics class lol. That bottleneck is what creates velocity, pulling air from the fender is what keeps it cool. Unless you're adding cams, doing head work or stroking the engine, in which all cases would require more fuel, your intake has more than enough air. Leave the box alone and add a free flowing filter, done. Half the people that do this mod, put it back, the other half feel the placebo effect.
Also, any gains would come in HP at the top of the rev range where you never drive at the cost of low end torque, if you're not running lean. Same with throttle bodies or carbs. Smaller inlet creates more down low torque increasing velocity. Larger inlet adds hp and takes away from torque, pending you are within applicable timing/ fuel tables.
Think of a SC, all it does is force air induction at higher velocities, right? All this only works if the air being pulled in can be pushed out at a higher rate, which is another whole conversation.
At the end of the day it's your vehicle and if it makes you happy, then that's all that matters.
Love this guy😅
hate to tell you but the insulation under ur hood is to keep ur hood from looking like crap from getting cooked by a hot engine, ur clear coat will not like u
So these engines are well known for launching sparkplugs out like rockets because of the small amount of threads in the heads, I'm curious to know just how many he's blown out since doing this.
Don't do this. There's a reason the intake is designed this way and just because Joe Schmoe with his butt dyno here has no clue what the Venturii effect or a Helmholtz chamber is, doesn't make this a good idea. Same with K&Ns that cause oil to land on the MAF sensor throwing off the air mass readings. Facepalm.
I quit buying k&n for that reason, oil on maf sensor, oil free filter may be better
Agreed,
I wouldn't do that eather your not going to get much horsepower .
Until you hit a big old mud puddle and flood your filter 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
The heat shield on the hood doesn't hold heat in that much the purpose is so the paint doesn't get baked off of the hood because of the heat. And also does sound deadening. Best bet would be to get a cheap hood scoop or mount two electric fans on each side of the motor to blow air down out of the engine compartment.
100+ degree air, causes the ECU to reduce power, to prevent detonation. That is what being sucked it, under the hood. The engine temp is not changed, by removing the shield. That protects. Ignition coils and plugs, from water. The under hood cover is for sound deadening, not heat.
I’m not the perfect guy however, I was a combat aircraft mechanic for more than 30 years, so what I did worked on aircraft with turbine engines therefore, they work very well on turbo charge stanchions, which are my hobby ever since I retired from the military
@@budgetboosting I own a 1997 e350 RV with a 5.4 2 valve engine 4r100 quto trans
I can not find any info to improve the 2k-3.5k low end torque performance.. it weighs 8200 lbs loaded.. at 61 mph best mpg is 10.7-13.9..
Any suggestions?
Its been a while since i last watched your videos ! Every single car you had on the videos had that mod done on them. And you said try to run a marathon breeding through a straw same thing with cars! You should do a dyno test so people see the difference . i watched this other video on youtube where this guys installed aftermarket air filter on a car and did a dyno test and the car actually lost horsepower . love your videos and the way you talk , ill be waiting for new videos !
I did do a dyno video on this channel a few years ago on the 2014 Ford F150 Turbo ecoboost 3.5. I had the same intake mod done as well as I removed the exhaust bottleneck (40+ pound mufflers) and that was it. Just made it breathe in and out better and my dyno results were much higher at the wheels than the factory rated the engine at the crank. I believe 392 hp and 425 tq at the wheels.
Did you add stickers to add +5 hp ea? My sons car bed has 2k hp, next is spinner rims and a viper alarm. Might need a fire extinguisher before you do tho.
I just can't help but wonder...Is there any "[more] to follow"?
Congratulations you just created. Hot air intake. The way it was design was more then efficient because it pulled the cooler air from outside the engine bay. With out the intake tube it will not pull that cooler air. You say its a restriction but the MAF see the air flow coming into the system and optimizes the fuel ratio. What you just did has been proven to cost hp throughout the rpm range. You are better off leaving it alone. The only way to truly improve it is to have an intake tube with the filter inside the fender
ruclips.net/video/1O4kmds3_u8/видео.html
Thank you was just going to type the same thing lol
Everyone saying shit about the temps, all the guy says is about kess restriction. Your both right.
I’d leave the air intake in the cool air. Great vid tho, u sound like Jack Nicholson lol
My husband did this years ago.
I did this in my 1997 ford ranger when I was younger I regretted it later . It sounded better and gave it maybe 1 or 2 Hp not enough gain . Dont go cheap get a cold air intake
Remember your mass airflow sensor will get dirty faster and
No 4 wheeling cause of clogged filter . I only know from experience I’m not a
mechanic . I know my clean mass air sensor gives better fuel economy.
Yes of course you have to clean filter more often and best with reusable K&N or similar.
I did something similar to my '00 4.6 Expedition but not quite as drastic...now that I'm hauling a rv trailer gonna follow thru...u mentioned that u already did ur exhaust...what specifically did u do and could u post a link to ur Mad Boosting channel...thanks in advance!!!
ruclips.net/video/-uiLTXNwCIs/видео.html This is the video showing what I did to my exhaust on my expedtion
Could you not find a way to bring air from in front of the radiator into the intake?
Intake air is near fender far from radiator heat
@@TTATurbochargeThemAll that’s a low pressure area - the engine has to work to bring air in. In front of the radiator is a higher pressure zone, especially when rolling down the road. Temperature is one concern, pressure is the bigger one in my mind.
Fixing to do this right now!
It works I did it on my 03 expedition...not there mods other then muffler delete...and now I have the same 0 to 60 as my wifes 05 300 c...so it works deffently and I went from 16 mpg on hiway to 22 now
Update... I don't think it made one bit of difference to be honest. Waste of time to be honest.
You should add a Airaid throttle body spacer…
It's simple to say that you're full of hot air now
No negative reviews by me just a trial and error proven method by me for cheap.by the way that air filter assembly is $181.00 u.s.d new 50 at a junk yard if you can find it
So the intake is breathing hot air from engine bay not the cold air around the fender ?
It breathes from all over especially the grill air
Yeah cold air intakes always cost hp. Not bad though on a 4.6 probably only 5 to 10hp. Exhaust might give you 5 to 8 hp..
@@TTATurbochargeThemAll the air coming from the grille is very hot, that's where you will find the radiator, A/C condenser, and trany cooler (if applicable) there is no cold air from that area.
@@joracer1 I think you're over inflating those numbers. a fancy new filter and removal of the air box is good for maybe 1 or 2 horsepower, if you want to see real improvements then you're looking at upgrading to a higher CFM throttle body and a new intake manifold if you're up to it and you'll want a fatter tune that can utilize the extra air. same goes with an exhaust, just cutting out the old muffler and replacing it with a new one won't do much if anything. for real horsepower gains from an exhaust upgrade you're going to want to drop the log manifolds and replace them with long tube headers terminating to a 3-4" collector with high flow cats and strait pipes. then you'll be looking at 10-20 horsepower gains.
@@ElectronicsForFun
No you misunderstood , you will lose hp with a hot air intake. Just about everyone does, seen it on the chassie dyno... you lose hp over stock box. On any engine with 250 hp or less if you replace the stock box which pulls cold air out of the fender well with a simple so call cold air intake which pulls hot air from under the hood you will lose hp every single time. Cold air intakes are foolish at best. I seen people come into the dyno shop saying they got 400hp from all the mods they bolted on, only to find out they down 20 hp from stock.... gimmicks. You can gain hp from exhuast and a tune if you have a chassis dyno to back it up, otherwise you're just waisting you money. The by replacing the stock 05 4.6 f 150 very restricted muffler with a more open muffler you can see some gains, but with a hot air intake those will be erased. Do what you want I don't care. I just don't like people wasting their $$ on stupid things...
I don't know about 15-20 horsepower, that seems a little high for the simplicity of the mod. even with the hardcore cold air intake systems the difference is negligible. cold air intakes are a gimmick, they don't really do anything at least not by themselves. unless you're pushing more fuel into the engine, more air won't do much for you.
Intake, exhaust and tuner together make a great balance
There's a bunch of videos on intakes. It's like 3hp on average.
@@leighpetersen3947 yeah it's crazy how delusional people are about that stuff. I knew somebody who had a brand new mustang with a coyote and a manual. they said they put new mufflers and a cold air on it and gained 50 horsepower. Mind you this is butt dyno. I knew they were full of shit. 50 horsepower my ass, You would be lucky to get 10.
@@ElectronicsForFun facts
cutting half the filter housing is not an improvemnt
On a diesel engine this mod will work but the gas no won't help.
Lord Today !
Doesn't replace dirty air filter. Lol! Tip: clean filter = more power.
Lol 😂facts
So i was involved in the engineering of fords 4.6 and 5.4 engine with regards to the Mustang and F150. Everyone, please leave the intakes alone. We did our research for best MPG and HP. Trust me, we got it right. Any mods, and it will be worse.
Intake makes slight difference alone, together with free flowing exhaust, they bring out the engine. Case in points, the shelby mustangs have improved open element intakes, and free flowing exhaust. There are also tuners to improve them greatly.
The thumb does not light up when I like the video
Thats ok, I got your like on my channel. I shared this video here to hopefully get more subscribers to mad boosting .
Will this affect emissions testing in any way?
Always best to ask your emissions station first before doing anything to vehicle. They are the ones that can pass or fail, so I would ask them first. Many places do not have problems with cold air intakes or aftermarket filters. Each one is different.
This is Awesome . Thank you
Do u get a mass airflow sensor code from cutting off the airbox like that?
Only if the maf sensor is in the way 💪🏾
No codes for my expedition.
I wonder how much it adds
Minus 9 hp
All made for sound reduction . Gotts mod made very little performance gains and possible poorer fuel economy do to cpu sensing all the cool air plus higher amount of oxygen coming in basically throws ya a dang code when you mess with stock flow air supply .these engines need more air flow and easier exhaust flow but you can only go so far my advice would be to cut the reducer nozzle off replace with large enough pipe to fit in fender and filter tube then remove the silencer that's in the 90 degree bend with the raised lines on it however at idle the iac will fluctuate and you will get a rumble vacuum cleaner noise only hear at idle every once and awhile .DIY tip is to replace reducer nozzle with a dollar tree thick plastic like batman cup I'm serious lol fit perfect for me and then paint or not either way worked great and super cheap had it on for 6 months no issues and is firmly in place and heat has not affect the plastic
Hahaha that's some hilarious stuff
Just buy a used k&n intake set up for the f150 ...
So you make a hot air intake, hot air makes less power
doesn't matter because EGR introduces Really hot air in the intake manifold all the time.
🧐🤔 OK then I'll do it 😂
do you think it would work on a 5.4 4valve v8 also?
dont listen to this guy , hes a hack job .
Nah your get too much HP increase probably break the crank shaft 😂😂
So now you have a hot air intake and will be changing that filter every 500 miles? Get a volant bud well worth it
Whats that?
@@billbobaggons a good cold air intake
K&N filter works well and can clean and reuse as many times as needed for dust/dirt
"Beneficiary" ...doesn't mean what you think it does.
you know it better than the engineers
An engineer's goal is different than a consumer's goal. Engineer works for the manufacturer and designs everything for solely the manufacturer's interests. Manufacturer wants engineers to design vehicles to be practically maintenance free for the warranty period. Pushing and improving the performance envelope does not comply with this agenda. More performance is more potential wear and stress to vehicle therefore engineers design to reduce performance. Designing a restricted flow airbox is one of the easiest ways to reduce performance.
Engineers goal is literally gas mileage and performance 2nd. No not every aftermarket performance mod does actually do anything but most of the time it helps like a better intake and exhaust for performance at the cost of comfort and sound if you are a person that hates your cars and always run them on 87 octane to empty gas tank then fill them up by 20 dollars and not up to full line.
You realize that the "blanket" under the bonnet has a purpose right? It's not a heat blanket, the reason it is held on with plastic push pins, is so in the event of a fire in your engine bay, the pins melt and the blanket falls on top of the engine. It's designed to smother out the fire, even though it doesn't always work.
I did it and can already feel a difference. Took about 45 minutes. Thanks for the tips.
im willing to bet the throttle blade is the same size as the inlet tube. Engineers do these things for a reason, not to mention you just lost your cold air coming in. I'm big on diy stuff and mods but this doesn't seem beneficial in any way. No disrespect but you're butterfly isn't 8 inches across lol
I wonder if the engineers didn’t thought about that huh??? They made the entire engine and vehicle to work all nice and together and did not think about letting the engine take more air. Please don’t destroy your cars that were engineered by professionals.
Let’s not give engineers too much credit there’s a bunch of silly and ignorant design flaws you can point out on many vehicles.
Ah yes... All cars ever made on planet earth come perfect from the factory. Jesus Christ...
🤦🏻♂️
Buddy.... as a mechanic of 12 years, I can wholeheartedly say that engineers are NOT perfect with their designs whatsoever. And when it comes to mass-produced vehicles, they're definitely not considering people taking things to another level. There's a reason why tuners and other mods exist for cars and trucks on the road. And I've seen it plenty of times when you take away OEM parts and replace them with aftermarket. You can gain fuel mileage as well as performance enhancements easily. To sit here and say that the manufacturer built something perfect and everyone will appreciate it is beyond ignorant. You can always make things better by tuning and changing things around. That's why you have super cars and hyper cars...
Engineers are stupid and don't know what the hell they're talking about.
Sorry but its hard to take advise from someone that doesn't even keep the engine clean. A K&N filter and a better throttle body does everything.
If you were as disabled as I am now, you would understand dude!
Who wants a louder motor I like quiet myself
Your tip worked, but I found a cold air intake with reusable filter for $30.00 on ebay, so I got one and it made a huge difference, I was able to idle my engine down and since I have gained about 12 MPG.. Another good tip is if you can, use higher grade gas and I use a fuel clean additive when I fill up with fuel.. Thank you for sharing..
Did you get 12mpg more in city or highway?
@@ndane2 I at first was going to follow what he did, but I did not want to cut factory parts, I looked on ebay and for just at $30.00 (tax included) I got a cold air intake and it came with a reusable filter.. I also gave it a toon up, new plugs wires, I already do oil changes every 3 months or 3,000 miles, I started using a fuel clean additive when I fill my tank, I use higher grade fuel, that itself already gave me better gas millage (if I use cheap fuel my MPG goes way down) after doing the cold air intake with using the fuel clean additive I average 12 MPG more that is combined city & highway.. Where I live and the driving I do, I drive about the same amount of miles city driving as I do highway.. To give a better comparison, my Truck is a 2004 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 5.4l 4WD.. My neighbor has a 2015 Ford Expedition 5.41 4WD, We both dive about the same distances, he uses the cheap gas, does not change his oil very often.. He spends like $100.00 more on fuel a month then I do.. I hope this answers your question.. The main point (lesson to be learned) is the better you maintain your vehicle, the more reliable it will be.. Now for the other things this guy did in the video, I did not do.. Another good tip is to keep your engine and engine bay clean.. I make sure bolts, nut's & belts are all tight, I check for leaks I power wash the engine an engine bay about once to twice a month. Keeping it clean you will be able to notice problems visually easier and I believe, that in itself improves the performance.. I also have my transmission fluid & filter changed every year, I do mine in the spring right around time change...
@@TheWolfster001 Sorry, but the only way you can gain an extra 12mpg out of a 5.4 is have a Prius push you from the rear while going downhill. A cold air intake and new spark plugs combined with premium fuel and "special additives" aint gonna get you there. For my business Ive owned over a dozen F250s with both 2V and 3V 5.4s and the most efficient of them could barely average in the teens for mpg. We tried many tricks over the years to boost fuel milage, and raising tire pressure is the best way to get any gains and that gives a 2 or 3mpg boost. Nothing boosts milage by 12mpg in a full size truck
@@TheWolfster001 What model number is cold air intake??? Or send link I never used EBay just Amazon, but I'm willing to try.
Can I get things that didn’t happen for $1000 please Alex.
you didnt improve anything except create hot air into the engine to make it less effective.. you would have been better off doing a GOTTS mod or buy and enclosed Volant cold air intake
Worked great for me, you’re missing out
Bro how many times is this guy gonna repeat the same thing
As many times as I feel like.
Please do more research before posting a mod like this. Engine bay temps, even out as far as the fenders are intense. The radiator fan moves a lot of air and pushes it out in all directions, especially now where a low pressure is created. This is so bad for performance. Didn’t you learn from all the rice burners doing a pop filter mod like this??
Also, think about the size of your throttle body intake diameter. Going much larger than this is not needed as there is your ultimate bottle neck. The trumpet mistake size, that you made fun of, was designed big enough for what this engine needs. The OEM design also protects better from dust and water. But hey, you got some views and that is the only thing that matters, right?
Your first mod should have been a K&N filter to allow a bit better airflow. Beyond that is the more serious stuff.
I had an SCTX4 Tuner show me The intake temperatures which is about as accurate as you can get without a laptop and some other equipment
Man, why in the world your air filter is that dirty? And FYI everything you said is wrong.
With the hood shut and driving, hot air will never rise and trap "hot air" under your hood it will get sucked out from the bottom while you driving lol. As for the intake system that ford engineers built is all common sense. That bottle neck you're saying is not a bottle neck, the maf sensor id is about the same size and does not need to be bigger for the power that these trucks make.. hood blanket? Helps protect your hood from paint fade! Especially if you are idling for too long.. you made your truck worst case If you feel any difference it's just placebo Effects
I’m showing the concept, later I put a specter performance air filter on there and of course it did much better
Well, as Miagi once said "Afraid a fracts mixed up!!"
A. You might want to I don't know CLEAN YOUR ENGINE BAY. A clean engine believe it or not will be morr efficient than a dirty one.
B. You destroyed your breather which I would never do. The on board computer is programmed to sense the air in and out and you just altered that so will probably have a check engine light on and will probably run lean now.
C. You talk about "IMPROVED GAS MILEAGE" but yet you put a dirty clogged air filter back in. How does that improve gas mileage?
So in summary, you do not pass go and you do not collect 200 dollars.
Hits 1 puddle engine hydrolocks
Do not listen to Scott Kilmer 2.0.
Reeeeeely!!!!
You accomplished absolutely nothing with all that wasted work
It performs great for me.
U talk to much
Clean the that dust. It will breath better
🤣🤣.. Bro 😆
This is truly ignorance on steroids. He's sucking hotter air in. He thinks he's smarter than the engineers that designed the truck. This is really ignorant.
Put some dirt on it !
And gonna make it drink more gas
Amateur
do NOT modify this. the MAF is designed to take that air at that velocity. the hole is NOT important as this fool things. 100% of everything done here is foolish
What do you think a cold air intake kit does for well over $300? Practically the same thing I did for free. I prefer the kit since it looks better and I like the come style filters. The free mod doesn’t hurt anything because the MAF and MAP sensors adjust to any airflow improvements thats what the sensors do. It works for me, each person can decide if a CAI kit or intake mods work for them or not. Of course its best to do a tuner for maximum potential.
@@budgetboosting you have no clue, its been proven it actually is BAD
You know better than the engineers....could he have continually repeated himself more??? False information, No way would those three small modifications give you an extra 15HP! More to follow...
Engineers do not care about performance, just factory directives
OMG it was torture listening to this guy….. could’ve done the whole video in one minute instead he chose to waterboard us with the same shit over and over….. “more to follow” no way I’m watching his videos again
How freaking boring
Time to wake up and watch something more interesting
This vid should have been like 2 mins. So much unnecessary bs
OMG! Hard pass! 🐍 oil.
This guy doesn't shut up
Man, put it back😂😂😂 go and study basics of Venturi effect and that absorber box you really need it to keep air intake constant flow on different RPMs
It runs much better thanks
The physics is concrete 😂😂😂
Never smoke meth and pretend your a mechanic
I was in the military for 30 years, never done drugs. I was a jet mechanic in the military and worked on aircraft combat aircraft, which resulted in many war heads on the foreheads. It worked for combat it could work for your car to.
Next week here on inbred performance, were gonna just sawzzall our exhaust system off at the headers, throw away our air filter housing all together, and showmypu hownto get 200 FREE HP !!! DURPA DURPA 😂😂
Bruhhh. Im pissing my pants !!! Dudes talking about gaining horsepower, but runs hos dirty ass old ass factory air filter 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's not a heat blanket 😂😂😂it's for sound deadening 😂😂 what a redneck 😅😅
