Hi , i am expat living in china , last year bought F150-RAPTOR and got with 280kw /375hp engine . Over here emission regulations are pretty tough assuming thats the main reason

Question is ; these exported made in Usa raptors are with regular `Ecoboost 3.5 engine` or `High output/less aggressive map` ?

What is the best way to reach 450hp and if not `HO` version what is the difference between `ecoboost regular version` engine

attached obd reading for the Ecu and sticker inside the passenger door (maybe can indicate some more info)

Thanks a lot!

This is the result after checking VIN code decoder tool , real confused

What's the octane rating of the fuel in China? Raptor's 3.5L makes maximum power (450hp) using Premium fuel (91+ octane) and the HP derates with lower octane fuels.

92 and 95 (Ron) available every gas station, 98 (Ron) also possible to get but not that common , i have other vehicles and engine Horsepower / Torque rating same as USA .....

2018 Raptor imported to china has stickers written inside the passenger door `315KW/422hp` but their china emission rating is `5` ....

mine has written 280kw and have china emission rate `6` which means less emission ,

just took VIN sticker picture of of my friend`s 2018 Raptor , this one is 310KW/ 415hp version ..... just because of a ecu map difference or engine difference ?

any suggestions? thanks a lot!!
