An Australian company has given such a tremendous upgrade to Ford Ranger Raptor that the automotive world has created panic. Killla Conversion and Performance, this is the company that threw a third-gene of 750-horsepower in Ranger's Engine Bay. This animal has been made even more powerful by Raush Supercharger, and is named "Rapter 8 S". It also produces 30 horsepower more than Monster Ford's F-150 Raptor R. After 12 months of hard work in Landsborough, Queensland, this project was prepared, and believe it is not a small thing!
Ranger Raptor is already considered the king of off-road thanks to its Fox Suspension and Twin-Turbo V-6. But now, with this V-8 it has become like a superhero. Killa conversions did not just change the engine; They also kept the vehicle factory electronics, drive modes, and gauge completely operational. Together, a new 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission, twin 3-inch exhaust with ceramic-coated headers, and high-flow Itec system were also added. outcome? It seems as if this vehicle has come out of Ford's factory.

But, friends, the price of this strength is also not low. For this conversion, you will have to spend 89,000 Australian dollars (about US $ 57,000). If adding the price of the new Ranger Raptor, the total expenditure reaches around US $ 122,000. Yes, this F-150 is cheaper than the Raptor R, which can be spent up to US $ 232,000 for bringing to Australia. Nevertheless, this upgrade is not a matter of everyone - this is for those fans who want to make their Ranger a unique, powerful machine.
Completing this project was not an easy game. Koyot V-8 is a large, heavy engine, and it was crooked to fit the small engine bay of the Ranger. Killa fitted it to the right place using custom mounts and specially created aluminum wealth. The dual 3-inch exhaust and accurately designed headers made the work more difficult, but the car that came out in the end looks exactly like a factory to see and run. Really, their job is amazing!

The craze of V-8 engines in Australia is old, and this conversion shows the same passion. Killa Conversions have already put V-8 in Ranger and other trains, but Rapter 8S is their biggest bet so far. The company's boss, Steve Kidley, told that Ford himself left this opportunity for him by not creating a V-8 ranger raptor. The video announced on social media became very viral, and people are becoming crazy about it.
Right now this conversion has taken engineering approval only in Queensland, but the company is thinking of applying it soon in the rest of the Australian states. This project is not only technical amazing, but also sets a new benchmark for the 4x4 fans of Australia. Rapter 8 S is the dream of those who want to make their ranger something unique, and is a great example of Australia's automotive tuning creativity.
