thanks for the video. like the manifold spacer idea. creates a long runner manifold and the porting looks spot on. would like to the vacuum/pressure pulse before and after.
Love your videos, very well done! In my understanding, manifold spacers such as these are primarily wave tuning devices, i.e. they increase the distance between the back of the intake valves and the throttle plate (or intake entrance at WOT) on a naturally aspirated engine. In the turbo world, I assume they really only have an effect when there is no positive pressure in the intake tract so theoretically, they should improve off-idle torque before you get into boost and by the sound of it, that's what you experienced too. I also have the CVF pipes/IC and Injen intake, did you have any other fitment issues besides the bolt with those parts after installing the manifold spacers and was there any port mismatch between the manifold spacer and the heads/manifold? Thanks!
Yes, it definitely improved throttle response and off-idle torque. No issues with the install or any port mismatch with the same mods. Appreciate you checking out the video 👍🏻
All company's claim added power. Like intakes. Which on the modern vehicles so nothing. The 2021+ F-150 intake and Vw Gti intake are good for 525 hp. These are just a couple platforms I've been apart of that have been tested. As far as mpgs go, it's all calibrated on the tune. Nothing will make that better unless the tune leans it out. Most boltons now days are just placebo affect. As far as w/m goes on a 2.7, Livernois says you need to run it directly into the manifold directly. You can't connect before the Tb or in intercooler. My 2 cents from everything I've learned. Always use 3rd party dyno info, not the manufacturers. Obviously
Some good points in there, but I’d argue that bolt ons do add some small gains even on the stock tune. When custom tuned, you should expect to see a bit more. As for the WM injection. The fastest F150 with a 2.7L Ecoboost (owned by Steven Boswell) runs meth and injects via a throttle body spacer. He runs CRP Stage 4 turbos up to 32-34 pounds of boost on a ZFG Racing E85 tune, so it can be done and works well.
My previous 2022 F-150 2.7 Crew cab with just a 91 tune and cvf Titan v2 intercooler on 35's with like 300 lbs of bed accessories dragyd 13.1. I never gotten a chance to dragy the E85 tune (my toy tow vehicle mostly) but the E85 tune was insane! I bet I could have easily ran low 12's. The Bronco doesn't dyno anywhere near what the F-150 does. Most were making 475whp on just the E85 tune alone. 🤔
@@YtRando69Good point. I assume it’s drivetrain and tire related? I think with some low profile tires I would see a 30 HP jump on the dyno. I may have to try that out when I go back. I should be around 420 HP at the wheels with the 35’s and stock turbos with all the extra mods. With just the E85 tune, exhaust, FMIC, and intake I dyno’d at 400 WHP /482WTQ. Also the 4:70 gears help it 0-60, but kill it after that
Thanks for making such a great video, we appreciate your support! Very through and well informed A+ content!
Good stuff!

Thanks, and I’ll get right on it 😄

it's a shame that the didn't put provisions for port injection in the manifold spacer
No need for the 2.7L. It has dual injection from the factory
@@fullspeedfordbronco 3.0 doesn't
Yep, it’s a damn shame. Though I don’t think this spacer will work with a 3.0 intake manifold
I have a 2021 Badlands with 2.7 with 15k miles. I’ve noticed recently that when a drive it hard I get a burning smell inside the cabin! Anyone?
@@ramonahumada4 Doesn’t sound normal. I’d take it to the dealership if you’re concerned
