Default Mishimoto Seeking 15+ 3.5L EcoBoost

Hey everybody,

We're currently looking for somebody who would be willing to let us use their 2015-16 3.5L EcoBoost F-150 for catch can R&D. We're hoping to find a volunteer local to the Wilmington, DE area or within reasonable driving distance. Volunteers will be compensated for their time.

Feel free to comment or PM us if you are interested! Thanks!

-Steve

I thought the 3.5s didn't require a catch can? What is yours going to do?

Could you PM me your email address? You might be a bit too far, but I can pass your email along to the project manager and see what he says!

Catch blow-by From what we've seen, the 3.5L EcoBoosts motors generate a significant amount of blow-by and all of it can end up in your intake system. Here's what we found from our testing: http://www.f150ecoboost.net/forum/14...%20#post823113

You are correct, I should have put 2015-16. Thank you!

Wish I was closer to test! If you need to reach out of state testers I’m willing to help.
