Ecoboost Swap 101 

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

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!

Awesome! looking forward to more content.

Thanks for the video, a true pioneer!

Thanks for this video

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

Very cool

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!

Thanks g

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

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.

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!

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.

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

The 2.3 L mustangs run a 355 gear set

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

What's wrong with the 6 speed manual mustang transmissions I think there the getrag mt82 or the tremec tr3160 will they not bolt up without the adapter??

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?

I’m under the impression the 2002 up ranger 2.3 trans bolts up also.

How easy is it to pull the torque out on the 2.3? I would like to maintain roughly the same fuel economy but id like to get around 400ft/lbs of torque. Is that unrealistic?

Where do I find a 2.0 for under a grand?

Can you run an auto trans with the esslinger adapter?

Could I put one into my 2005 ford escape 2.3

man im looking at getting a 93 mustang. and its got the 2.3L

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

the 2.3 computer can run a 2.0, for what its worth.

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.
