2017-2020 F150 / Raptor 3.5L Ecoboost Full Race Formline Turbo Manifolds
Manufactured from cast iron, the OEM log manifolds on the Gen 2 (2017-2020) Gen2 Ford EcoBoost 3.5L are known to have inherent flaws. We wanted to develop the ultimate Raptor and F-150 turbo manifold. Hundreds of engineering hours iterating from 3D scanning to CAD to 3D printing led to our final design that keeps the exhaust pulses from each cylinder from interfering with each other (even at high power levels)
FULL-RACE FORMLINE STAINLESS EXHAUST MANIFOLDS FOR GEN 2 (2017-2020) RAPTOR & F-150 3.5L ECOBOOST
Designed to fit the 2017-2020 Ford F-150 with 3.5L Ecoboost Engines
100% Bolt-On Replacement
Investment Cast from 347 Stainless Steel
Individual Runner + Merge Collector Design
Reduced Back Pressure → Increased Flow
Turbine Outlet Port Matched to OEM Turbo
MAKE MORE POWER, AVOID COSTLY REPAIRS
When subjected to the 1700+F gas temps seen in these turbo engines under load - the OEM cast-iron log manifolds on the Gen 2 (2017-2020) Ford EcoBoost 3.5L can warp, crack and/or break studs, potentially damaging your cylinder head. Full-Race's Formline Turbo Manifolds are investment cast using 347 stainless steel at a nominal 3.5 mm (0.138”) wall thickness and are a 100% bolt-on replacement - including new OEM gaskets, studs and nuts.
For years 304 stainless steel has been a go-to material for sturdy, long lasting turbo manifolds and other motorsport exhaust components. But Raptor and EcoBoost 3.5L owners push their engines hard and demand extreme reliabilty under grueling conditions - failure is not an option. We’ve opted for an upgrade to 347 stainless steel; 347 is commonly found anywhere high temperature and highly corrosive environments exist - from refinery equipment to jet engine parts. This material maintains superior resistance to any type of failure under high temperature operating conditions.
INCREASED FLOW = MORE POWER:
When looking at the OEM log manifolds it's immediately apparent the design was controlled by a requirement to be compact, inexpensive and easy to cast. Log style manifolds have all ports of each bank dump directly into a restrictive common chamber.
Material selection aside, Ford did a good job achieving their goals; but our goals are different. We wanted to develop the ultimate F150 turbo manifold with the only compromise being the extremely tight space needed to fit to remain a bolt-on part. We wanted our manifolds to have some of the same performance characteristics as our hand fabricated turbo manifolds we're known for. Hundreds of engineering hours iterating from 3D scanning to CAD to 3D printing led to our final design that keeps the exhaust pulses from each cylinder from interfering with each other (even at high horspower levels) eventually merging in a collector shared with the rearmost runner.
Increased Flow Capacity:
The OEM log manifold exhaust chamber is an incredibly small slot-shaped passage. It’s at its narrowest after the front two exhaust ports, right before the third. When this area is converted to an equivalent ‘hydraulic diameter’ it measures only 31.4mm (1.24”). Ford expects two cylinders worth of exhaust flow to cram its way through that duct! For reference, that's smaller than the runner we would use for (1) cylinder on a 1.6 L Honda turbo manifold.
Another shortcoming of the OEM log manifold design is the mismatch between the 33.8mm (1.33") manifold outlet and the 41mm (1.61") turbocharger turbine inlet. The log manifold has a smaller outlet than the inlet of the turbine housing - meaning exhaust flow is forced to run into a sharp 90° step! This is the least efficient and most restrictive way of joining the flow of two dissimilar sized ducts.
We increased the manifold outlet from 33.8mm (1.18”) to 41mm (1.36”) to match the size of the entry to the turbine housing (also 41mm). This small change translates into a 47.1% increase in outlet area. The next task was to give each cylinder a little bit more breathing room by increasing the runner cross section area. Our new runners start equalling the area of the exhaust ports, and gradually taper down to a minimum diameter of 32.4 mm (1.28”) each. Compared to the OEM measurement of 31.4 mm that may not sound like much but remember the Formline manifolds have a min diameter of 32.4 mm for EACH cylinder! All this will result in reduced backpressure and increased turbocharger efficiency
