Thanks for posting this is exactly the kind of video I was looking for, and thanks for giving me another excuse to go big turbo!

Thanks for the video, a true pioneer!

I was thinking about running a 2.0 ecoboost in a 98 Ranger splash 5 speed. This is a great video! Thanks!

Awesome! looking forward to more content.

Good information. Just sitting here looking at what to put into a 61 Econoline

Ecoboost would be a cool swap, I have also seen quite a few with the older 2.3L turbo Limas.

Great info Dalton! I'm about dive deep into doing an Ecoboost engine install into a 93 FD3S Mazda Rx7. I'm tired of the unreliability of the rotary. I'm in Maryland. Where are you located? Wanted to see if I could tap more into your knowledge of these engines.

I'm about an hour north of Pittsburgh. If you want you can message me on Facebook or join the Ecoboost swap Facebook page. Tons of guys with lots of good information in there.

JEM Sport also makes a swap solution for the 2.0 or the 2.3 EcoBoost. I went with them after speaking with Jake at JEM sport as the way they do their PATS delete allows for use of off the shelf Focus ST Tunes or for someone with an HP tuners to plug in and tune on the ecu, Where as ANT harness uses a can network to spoof the ecu into thinking it has PATS, and limits the tuning availability. I believe you can still tune gen 1 EcoBoost ECU's with the correct harness, but it seemed a little in the dark. I have the JEM sport ZF adapter to mount up a ZF. The ZF trans is much stronger than the Getrag, and is also quite light. I also liked how they use a shift rod that connects to the trans rather than directly on top, so I could alter the length of that rod and retain my factory shifter location with a chassis mounted shifter. This is all going into an NA miata, cant wait to get the engine harness in and fire it up!

I wish that JEM sport had the ECU available when I purchased my ANT steering ECU. I'd have to talk to them more, but I believe they are using something similar to Ford's 2.0 control pack to delete PATS. I'm glad to hear the ZF trans option is working for you though. Like I said in the video, I don't know a whole lot about them. But I have heard that they are pretty cheap used.

Would be interested in seeing how the engine and transmission mounts were done. I've thought about building a Pinto Restomod with the Mustang 2.3 Ecoboost, think such a build would be a mean ride.

The engine mounts were off the shelf parts. The trans mount is actually for a 5.0. check out my other video, I show what the mounts look like.

Was thinking about doing this in an OBS but no clue how to make that happen

Miata transmissions are also a great option for manual transmissions. Also, what tuner did you use with the ANT ECM setup?

I will be trying the HPT MPVI3. Not sure if it will be able to tune just yet, but I have confirmed that it will communicate with the ECU and read data.

I plan on 2.0 ecoboost swapping my 13’ focus with the mtx75 5 speed trans, do you know if I could bolt the ecoboost header, intake, etc up to my stock block? The intervals won’t be as strong, but I am wondering if my stock block is the same 2.0 na is the 2.0 ecoboost. Thanks for the video and have a good one!

I believe the N/A engines are a bit different. The head has 4 exhaust ports, the Ecoboost has the exhaust manifold integrated into the head and only has one exhaust port. You'd probably be best off buying a used Ecoboost engine and swapping that in. Look up Rebel Devil Customs, they do a bunch of N/A to Ecoboost swaps on the Focus.

Isn’t the 2.3 also in broncos? QuickDraw makes a bell housing to Jeep trans… but the LSPI is a concern

@stroupperformance9384

5 ай бұрын

Yeah I missed that, 2.3 can be found in the bronco. The 2.0 can also be found in the bronco sport. It sounds like you want to put this into an offroad or crawler rig. In that case the LSPI would probably be a big issue.

So I just picked up a 92 Hatch Foxbody. I also have a 2017 GT and I have a spare MT82 laying around, will that bolt up to a 2.0?

@stroupperformance9384

4 ай бұрын

Unfortunately the GT and Ecoboost Mustangs have different bellhousings for the MT82 they are not interchangeable. If you can find a MT82 from an Ecoboost mustang, that should bolt right up using all Ecoboost mustang flywheel and clutch parts. I am not sure how it will fit within the trans tunnel or where the shifter will be located though. You may have some fabrication work ahead of you if you go that route.

Can you run an auto trans with the esslinger adapter?

@stroupperformance9384

Technically you should be able to run anything that would bolt up to a small block ford. I don't see why an auto trans wouldn't work.

Where do I find a 2.0 for under a grand?

The 2.0 has a stronger block however make sure you have the spain block and not the ohio The ohio has a qr code barcode on the valve cover (Open deck) problematic Where as the spain block has a barcode style (Closed deck) what you want

All of the older style single scroll turbo engines are closed deck. The newer twin scroll turbo engines are open deck. But I agree the closed deck is the way to go!

I was not aware of that. Thank you for information!

Your info is not 100% accurate. There is 2 different 2.0 , there is the 2.0 semi closed twin scroll, and 2.0 closed deck that comes off the focus ST. The best way to build a ecoboost is with a 2.0 ST block with a 2.3 head and 2.3 internals. People also use the 2.0 semi closed block. Basically anything besieged the 2.3 block. Some use cylinder support systems for the 2.3 but id say its a waste of money. 2.0/2.3 ecoboost can make lots of power. But the 2.3 stroker builds are the way to go.

@stroupperformance9384

That is what I said in the video. The list of engines are all the same as the "ST" engine. The twin scroll engines came in the later cars depending on year. The engine that I have in the car is a 2015 escape, which is the same as a Focus ST engine except for the oil cooler, which is a bolt on part. For a high power 2.3 stroker build I would only use the early closed deck 2.0 block. I don't have a lot of trust in the later twin scroll blocks.

Also weird that Ford calls the 2.7 and 3.5 V6s Ecoboosts in all of their advertising and documentation. Unless it's the hybrid, then they market it as a "Powerboost" V6.
