MAPerformance: 500whp+ Ecoboost Mustang | How We Got Here, Future Plans 

Imagine being one of those "it's only a Mustang if it's a V8" guys who owns one of the Coyote V8's then meets one of these at a stop light. Would pay serious money to see that guy's loser face after that inevitable race.

best sounding ecoboost i heard yet ,

Man, this is super impressive. Still wouldn't trade my 5.0 for anything in a similar price range, but I gotta give credit where credit is due.

The Ecoboost Mustang certainly has its place in the market. Where I live there is a $10k price difference between a base Eco vs base GT. Then you need to factor in the added cost of insurance and gas which is also expensive here. My driving is 90% city under 60 km/h. I had a 2011 GT 5.0 and I really couldn't use it anywhere. For someone in my situation who loves the look of the 2015+ design, wants the awesome and refined suspension, and only needs enough power and torque for quick burst here and there, the Ecoboost is a great bang for the buck purchase. Add a Cobb flash tune and the torque easily exceeds the Coyote motor.

Damn that actually sounds very nice, kinda like a muscle car version s2000 with torque and a nice interior

Your results give a good indication of how strong the Focus RS motor will be, pretty exciting.

this car is proof of the Evostang fad thats been going on. Real car guys know the 4G63 is an awesome motor for racing/power/co$t and this 2.3T will open alot of eyes up to the setup. half as much rotating parts less friction/cheaper builds and spend the money on boost - less fueling at part throttle and more room underhood. Plugs are easy, no need for 2 headers...can go on and on

wow actually sound pretty good. Best one ive heard actually. I got the 15 5.0 but used to own a ST so big fan of the ecoboost. Cant wait to see the RS roll out though.

This is just simply awesome. I would've never thought that Ford would release an Ecoboost Mustang but now that they did I've been really interested in getting my hands on one. To see that you've made that much of an improvement in power out of that little 2.3 while still using stock everything engine wise kind of seals the deal for me. My wife works for Ford and I get to enjoy a HUGE discount. Looks like a Stang is in my near future! First call is to MAPerformance.

A lot of people don't know ford actually makes the ecoboost engines mostly with forged internals

Nice! Sounds great too!

Very impressed. Makes me want to go buy one and start ordering the P2.0 upgrade. Keep up the great work.

Cool build, I hope to see this beast on the streets sometime

sleeve the block and keep pushing!!!!

It's cars like this that make billions of years of evolution worth while.

I am so getting this car after my BRZ, no question about this. Also, definitely will contact these guys for my mods! Amazing work MAPerformance!

Can not wait man!! I need to start saving. Sounds very expensive.. Lol

Very excited to see what you guys are doing with this platform. Just ordered your intercooler kit today and cant wait to get that on along with my methanol setup. Going to try a percentage of e85 as well and a smaller pre turbo meth nozzle (in addition to the one at the tb) and see how much power I can squeeze out of the stock turbo. Once its dust, your turbo kit is next on my list ;)

Much respect

4:00....beautiful sound💪

This video gives me hope for my EcoBoost. Car sounds amazing. I want that sound

this is my dream can my first car was a 4 cylinder mustang that was prety weak these new eco boost are the bomb to me

Im a die hard v8 guy but got to drive a new eco boost auto for a week and they are impressive! Dont fuck around and pull up beside one from a dead stop in your v8 and get your feelings hurt! It matchs most v8 cars in hp and tq on most mustangs 2010 and older. With exhaust, tune, cold air intake I have seen 310 rwhp and crazy tq from a 4cyl. thats pushing close to 400 at the crank.

Well done, Guys! This is truly exciting work you are doing. Keep it up! Our 2016 GT is a 5.0 but what you young guys are doing to serve this market is excellent. I wish you all the success you can handle.

I'm interested in seeing how long the stock block will last with that much power.

Ooooooooly s#,t that thing sounds amazing 3:59, click for the dyno run. WOW.

Now this is what I am talkin' about!

All I can say is the Focus RS is going to be a BEAST with all of these upgrades lol!

And I'm here trying to make 500whp in my GT lmao intake long tubes and full exhaust so far. Next is a tune. I'm prolly at 390 to the wheels right now maybe 400. Good job on this eco 💯

this thing sounds crazy

+MAPerformance ...respectively, the fueling limits your reaching are similar to GM's '08+ 2.0T. It would be impressive to see someone develop a DI/PI fueling system that can be easily programmed with stock ECU, cycle in conjunction with intake vavle position, analyze and adjust fueling tables all at the same time.

Its sounds wired but real nice tho, I can't wait what they'll do with the RS that little rocket is going to be sick just coming from the factory

Can't wait to see similar mods to the focus rs. 500hp awd beast

I've had hell with my eco boost, first the fuel line got clogged then like two weeks later I was about to drive to another city and my car wouldn't start but I finally managed to get it too, then as I was pulling into my friends house I got an over heat error so I popped my hood and the guys at the ford dealership didn't put my intake manifold back together so I was basically driving without an air filter for like 3 weeks

Crazy!!! ... cool!

About to get a track pack performance pack 2018 ecoboost and I'm super excited. I used to own an ND miata but someone ran a red light and totalled it. Wanted to get another fun car and my roommate recently got an s550 ecoboost and let me drive it a bit. It's such a good platform and actually handles incredibly well (honestly imo even better than my miata). How hard would you say it is to tune this car and what would you recommend for a first time owner?

I never heard the term "stock block" until I was talking to some ricers. In my understanding, you could either have an aftermarket block or an oem

Yall should make parts for Volvos. I have a Volvo 16v turbo. Which I believe this motor might have been derived from

Thonk you guys can put out more video's and fly by's of that exhaust note?

3:58 was not expecting that sound woah

That sounds pretty decent

I've never liked American cars I hated their suspension the pompous owners the shitty build quality and the unreliable drive train but yo. something happened over at Ford round about 2010 they started putting out some motherfucking cars. I've driven in a 5.0 2013, it is 100% perfect the suspension setup from dampening to stability is perfect. then there's that engine fuck me running. I saw a 2015 ecoboost today and I haven't wanted a car this bad since I first saw an evo 9. I'm saving up my down payment now cause I gotta get that car. It's the only American muscle car I've ever considered buying it's also the firdt car on a long time to bring back the feeling of wanting a fun car. seriously if your a car guy try one out Ford really killed it

Dang I hope you guys can take to a circuit too!! also How much weight did the new turbo add??

im pretty sure the torque is crazy high 400+ stock with the cobb tune

ive found a nice 2014 GT premium and a 2017 ecoboost premium with close to the same mileage for the same asking price, which would you take?

will i get a close sound with stock turbo with this exhaust at 4:45 ?

Is the EcoBoost engine better than the h22a? And why are the torque figures so high relative to other 4cyl?

what makes you guys think the stock block cant handle much more, or are you more worried about the bottom end? i mean changing sensors and seals would be pretty straight forward but you guys think your gonna blow a sleeve?

aaahhhhh SALUTE MAP!!!=)

Proud Minnesotan here.

Interesting video! :thumbs up: (subscribed)

2.3 liter EcoBoost pushing 500hp to the wheels holy shit, that means I could upgrade the turbos on my Gen 2 Raptor and squeeze 800hp EFR 7163 Borg Warner turbos?

how much power can u expect from a unleashed tune with ur car having aftermarket downpipe y pipe resonator delete to axle backs air intake and intercooler ?

Beast

I'd like to know the 0-60 times for the various stages with street tires.

The Dyno chart left me speechless.

sweet fancy Moses 500 HP ecoboost ... god that's a strong motor

Man I hope you still got this car, how much was it to make the power out of that ecoboost block?

over a year later how is the motor holding up?

Which broke first? The engine or the seat bolsters?

I don’t see any mention of the crankshaft not having a keyed snout in the stock 2.3 EcoBoost. We have installed a stock EcoBoost into our full race Ford Cortina GT, with a dry sump system,straight exhaust , large intercooler along with a T5/G-Force gears and Winters mini quick change. Plans are to install a keyed crank and gear over this coming winter. I do not trust the non keyed setup and the disaster that enfolds should that fail, well there goes our motor

Damn this car sounds sexy can't Waite to get my hands on one

Is the block really that bad in the 2.3 or if u put good internals and made sure everything was oiled good that should hold at least 700hp

Holy shit that Ecoboost sounds SO GOOD lol damn. 500rwhp?? That's actually insane. I wish the stock block could hold that power without issues... Sigh, if only.... Gunna go binge the rest of the videos you guys have on this Ecobeast.

By far the best sounding ecoboost, I love it! I am intrested in purchasing the big turbo kit although I heard you say, "we are sitting on a time bomb here." If I do install the kit will my engine blow at some point?

What exhaust set up are you guys running

it depends on your driving Europeans have been doing it for years in 1.8 and 2.0

hi guys, that looks incredible ! I am in Ireland and have ordered the ecoboost for delivery later this year. first time ever the mustang is available in Europe in right hand drive. I really want to upgrade this motor and these mods look superb. 1) are these mods going to fit the ecoboost in right hand drive model for Europe? I would assume so but if you could check it out , it would be great. 2) do you export across the atlantic because I need these mods in Ireland !!

How long do you think it'll last? Not very long. :-( love the sound

with all of the modifications, would you still consider this a daily driver car? I currently have an 07 WRX and I'm looking for a new car to make a fun/fast daily driver. MPG? Aside from that, AWESOME build. I love it.

Crazy that you can make 500WHP on stock fuel system. I know the Focus ST injectors top out at 350WHP. I would of thought that since Focus ST Stock motor can hit 500WHP, the 2.3L could get at least 600WHP. Cool to see that these motors can equally put down about the same amount of power. When will displacement come into effect and be able to beat the 2.0 as far as HP?

How is the mustang holding so far ?

Are they still making there turbo kit I can't find it anywhere

The Factory Cranks and blocks are damn stout and will likely hold up quite well with only 500 hp and 450 tq...in the late 80's these blocks and cranks held 600 hp, beefier rqce blocks held 850 hp. Hey also what type of dyno you using...a Mustang dyno? the dream killer dyno as they are known.

I’m so late but this joint sounds amazing

After watching this i cant wait till i get my hands on my RS in the spring. Would be really impressive being able to push this amount of power on the RS.

Hows the Block/Pistons/Rods still holding up?

When do we get to see track times?

Where is Phase 2? I see P1 and P1.5 Trying to decide if I should build up my 15 EBM over time by purchasing part for part ... or if it is better to buy a package like the P1.5 or P2 because of the possible savings and R&D behind it. Thanks

hi need some more help, i'm going for the BIG TURBO KIT and P1.5. What option should i choose on P1.5 for driver side charge pipe, cat back connection??

ayyye!! turn up

I added 600+ hp by throwing on gt350 stickers

2015 ecobeast here how much in total would it be to get to this power?

How much can they cars make with stock turbo on e85?

How do the brakes handle a double in HP?

Update on if the stock internals & drivetrain are still holding up after years of pushing 600+ hp??

This is a preview of what the RS will be putting down, but with AWD.

Almost no lag

How many does the at transmission ecoboost hold?

Do you guys make California compliant cold air intakes for the 2018 model ecoboost?

Holy shit on the dyno lol

I just ordered the turbo kit which is rated at 390hp/410tq @ 23.5psi. If I wanted to bump it up to around 450hp/420tq what upgrades would I need to do if any to support the additional power?

By the time you add up ALL these mods and labour at a good performance shop,(plus the cost of the car) you might be damn close in price to a used 13-14 gt500 !!!!!!!

Its crazy how much hate the eco boost gets but I think with some tlc they can gap alot of other cars

That's bad ass, just it's crazy I'm not used to hearing a mustang sound like that, doesn't have that deep muscle car sound like the 5.0

Do you have anything planned for the new Ford Focus RS? Basically same engine with some upgrades from the factory.

price for this build including labor?

What were your times at the track?

how much for the entire package? even tho it's a 4 cylinder it's pretty fast!

Recently purchased a 2017 Mustang EcoBoost. Does the tune remove the speed limiter?
