I wondered how to do this. I dropped the entire cradle, engine, and trans in one piece. I had other work to do to the engine though, timing chain, tensioners, guides, waterpump and phasers, It just made more sense to me to drop the whole thing and make sure everything was timed right.
That is not a bad idea especially if you are doing all that timing work. I do everything I can to make sure I have the best access when doing timing systems. Thanks for watching.
Start on a Flex tomorrow was looking for some pointers (my first one on one of these) great video. Was reading that it's very common that the nuts at the intake impeller comes off
Informative video, the wear on those impellers is from something in my that went through. I had 1 that had a rag stuck in it & when the rag was removed in shreds, the impeller looked like that one.
If you ever have to replace a PTU/ Transfer case On a ecoboost Ford Explorer Remove the rear cat Turbo charger and manifold Along with the right front CV axle Remove front and rear torque mount Rock engine slightly forward And the PTU will come out without subframe removal
@NutsandBoltswithTone I'm doing it right now. Found a crack in the housing on the front turbo but haven't made it to the back yet. I'd kill for a lift but I'm gonna try your way with the rear
Hey man! Great video! I was wondering, how much wiggle room do you think is up there for bigger turbos? Currently in the process of pushing the boundaries of these 3.5L EBs, next step is upgrading the turbos. Currently at 399 horsepower to the wheels (Really upset I can't say 400). Thanks!
Oh wow interesting question. My first thought is probably not a lot of room plus not sure how you would get them out. Good luck in your build. You should send me some pictures of it on my Instagram I would love to see it. Thanks for watching.
I need to replace the passenger side turbo on my 2014 as is leaking pretty bad. I would assume that i wont need to take off the intake tubes if im not cleaning them like you had to?
Most likely you will only need to remove what it will take to replace. Just leaking oil probably don't have to remove them unless there is metal inside. Thanks for watching.
I am not sure to be honest, I had the radiator out so I had a lot of room. If you message me on my Instagram I can try to help you more it is easier on there. Thank you for watching.
@@NutsandBoltswithTone I was able to get the rear turbo out without pulling the subframe or passenger axle. It was a little tight, but definitely doable. Ours had failed due to clogged screens in the banjo connection in the oil feed lines. The customer has been using cheap oil filters on long intervals.
I am not sure what you are asking me. I think you are asking if you can put a turbo on a non turbo engine, if that is what you are asking then the answer is you would need to do quite a bit to make this happen, computer reprogramming or replacement. You would need to bring your vehicle into a repair facility that can do that kind of work. If you are asking me something different then shoot me a message on my Instagram. Thanks for watching.
I just broke the news to my customer for this exact same job. Any idea what a dealer charges for this job? I will be removing the intercooler and cleaning it as well.
Sweet man that is awesome, hope you get the job. This one was a warrantly, we put Ford turbos in it and came back with bad turbos. I do not know what the dealer charges for this. Thanks for watching.
@@NutsandBoltswithTone Getting Dorman turbos China no name cats in couple days. good enough to get him back on the road. the nut from the front turbo stopped it so abruptly that the impeller from rear cat blasted it's way through the cat and destroyed it.
Thanks for another detailed video. I've seen chewed up impellers because the bearings were severely worn. I never saw one where the nut came off. If Ford turbos were installed I would hope that Ford picks up the bill. That turbo must have been assembled on either a Monday or a Friday. Were they new or reman?
I changed both my turbos on my ecoboost mkt & it’s smoking now & leaking oil. Mechanic said the turbos are no good it’s letting oil slip through the seals & into my exhaust. No way turbos just go bad like dat & if so maybe that’s now the old one got messed up, which meaning to me there’s blockage in the crank case pcv system.
I would for sure make sure your pcv system is working OK. Message me on Instagram your vehicle info and how many miles on vehicle. Also how many miles on current turbos have been in. Thanks for watching
The turbo needs to be primed with oil before installing. The oil feed line filters and screen should also be replaced. You also need to prime the engine before first cold start....
Hey i think we have to replace our turbos on a 2018 explorer. Smoking and no power. What turbos do you recommend? Not covered by warranty smh. @@NutsandBoltswithTone
I believe so. Would have to look it up at work. Hit me up on Instagram with your specific vehicle info and I'll look it up for you. Thanks for watching
Water pump 2016 explorer pull engine to replace it . I'm Fkn done with Ford . Now their building a billion dollar electric battery plant in mid. Tennessee an these Fkn idiots can't sell one off the new car lots . No management No American Leadership. God Bless y'all !

Yeah these turbos are garbage even new from Ford. I have never done this on a Flex. Good luck.
@@NutsandBoltswithTone it's about the same just a little less room lol

@ap5598 oh wow that's crazy. Thanks for watching
👍🏻 Very good video!
Including all your torque specs would also be helpful!
All in all a very good and informative video!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much
Thanks for the info I need to remove a Turbo to replace the PTU on one of these wonderful vehicles👌
That sucks, sorry to hear. Thanks for watching.
Again thanks for the info helped a lot to remove the rear Turbo and exhaust manifold.

@@ianbaumann3678 awesome thank you. I appreciate it.
You need some extra long torx bits. It helps with the oil and coolant line bolts if you have a long skinny torx
Yes that definitely helps. Happy you got it figured out. Thanks for watching.
Wow, I hope Ford covers those turbos.
Yeah me too, still can't believe it. Thanks for watching.
I doubt it with the damage to the front of the fins.
Great vid! I hope Ford covers the repairs. Can’t imagine them them trying to weasel out…..or can I?
You would be surprised at the things they say to get out of warranty. Thanks for watching Bill. I appreciate you
On that front cat did you happen to take out the upstream 02 sensro to get to the top bolt ?
@Smittysgarage24 yes I believe I did.
@NutsandBoltswithTone I'm doing it right now. Found a crack in the housing on the front turbo but haven't made it to the back yet. I'd kill for a lift but I'm gonna try your way with the rear
@Smittysgarage24 awesome man good luck. Hit me up on Instagram if you need any help

Like you videos Tone. But a chew up turbo. Man, these car manufacturers need to step up.Thank a lot for the content Tone!
Thanks for watching! and Yes the quality is kind of slacking.
@@NutsandBoltswithTone 😎😎😎
How many miles were on the vehicle when they failed?
@@CharlesGalloway-o2r I do not recall is been awhile
Is there any way around pulling the subframe? Looks like if I pull the axle I might have enough room but I’m tracking this for the first time

Is it possible to install a turbo on a base 2017 3.5l v6 explorer?

@@Lee-td3fi omg Dorman turbos wow good luck. I guess u have to do what you have to do.
Do all ecoboost explorer's have turbos? I have a 2014 xlt ecoboost but I'm being told it doesn't have a turbo o oil cooler to replace a transfer case
I believe they all do. Not for sure though. I am unclear what you are saying in last sentence I am sorry for confusion. Thank you for watching.
If it is branded as an EcoBoost engine, it will have a Turbo. There are many variations of EcoBoost, but they are all turbocharged.
I'm in need of the clamp holding hot and cold side, do you by chance know the size of clamp or part number ? Thanks
I actually do not have any idea. I would go to Ford and get the clamp. Thank you for watching the video.
Crazy how these turbos fall apart...glad I don't have them in my ex.
Yeah they aren't the best for sure. Thx for watching

There were no failed o rings or pipes. Thanks for watching
@@NutsandBoltswithTone dirt and sand came in from somewhere between the filter housing and inlet turbine housings
@@JOMaMa.. I get what your saying but the nut came off the rear turbo that was the cause
