Just to correct you on some with the 2.3 with bolt ons is more of 325whp and up. Typical fully bolt on 2.3 runs around 350whp with intercooler and exhaust with spark plugs then the e30 gas and up you start to creep to 400whp
Thank you! I tried researching what people were making with bolt ons and tune. I was seeing everything from 300whp to 400whp. I decided to play it safe and state the lower power number. Same with the 2.0 people claim up to 300whp on the stock turbo, but most people make closer to 280.
@@stroupperformance9384 that’s fine I’ve been around the ecoboost forums on Facebook for almost 5 years so I see what the average whp and stuff is with the mods. I had a friend who was just full bolt ons running around 330whp and it was pretty quick then he went big turbo and was pushing around 400whp on 100% meth but yea like you said the block is a killer for the 2.3 but once you swap the block with a 2.0 or mzr block your good to run 400 plus whp somewhat reliable and their was one guy that was running 500whp on stock motor with a efr 7163 turbo and full meth it was crazy his car was running for 3 years no issue
Yes, most people run into an octane or knock limit around 380hp on 93 octane. If you don't have E85 in your area, you could always run methanol injection to pass this limit.
Would subscribe but gonna aim for 300. Question my man. Did I understand you can put a 2.3 heads on the 2.0? How bout turbo exchange for an upgrade? Love your your & explanation....mine will be a junk yard build
Yes you can put the 2.3 head on the 2.0 block. The stock turbos are not interchangeable though, as the 2.3 has a different exhaust port shape than the 2.0.
@@woundedfox5109call an EcoBoost engine builder and verify this but I was told ( by an engine builder) the twin scroll 2.3 will not work with a 2.0 single scroll (focus ST style) block. Something about deck height being different. I did a 2.0 twin scroll block with 2.3 head on my Ranger.
No, all of the turbos mentioned in the video are single scroll. I would not recommend using the later twin scroll Ecoboost engines, they suffer from the same block weakness as the 2.3L Ecoboost as they are also open deck.
@@Shellbackrc I do not know of any turbo options for the later twin scroll engines. Not as many people upgrade those engines like they did with the earlier ones.
