The world’s Highest horsepower Ecoboost Ranger! 2019 Ford Ranger Performance testing. 

When they are new

They are the best

@@rodneyburke2202 mines got 100k strong people just dont take care of cars and ford becoming more reliable then Honda but no body is saying anything because people think honda and think reliable but not so much anymore

When they ain’t a leak-o-boost. They’re freaking fantastic. 😂

@@naratouzumaki that was a very bold statement a Honda will out last your ford

Good one...

Video or it never happened

Send proof lol😂🤷

I put it on 91 octane when it got really cold last winter but it was a very short amount of time. it’s been on e85 for the majority of the 41k miles on the truck

@@00ZincGT ha, dang no way! All on the stock fuel pump even?

Ranger is different

Not true in the rangers case. The HPFP flows quite a bit more than other 2.3s.

Tune it. Even the ford tune gives you 50hp.

I agree with Jonathan, just do a tune

@@00ZincGT I didn't ask about a tune because I already have one. I asked about pipes.

@@mediocrates5233 ask the forums

@@mediocrates5233 I literally did all this testing so people like your self could make educated decisions on parts.

It's a catted SPD downpipe

Draggy testing it has run a 12.9 at 106

Draggy is inaccurate more like 13.3

@@FORDFCKNRANGERisgonesorry Yeah, do you think the DA may of been off? i know we were drag racing Friday night at Commerce Ga and everyone was running about 3 tenths off.

Even a ws6 or Camaro SS only had 300 hp and 325 TQ. This has 100 more then that. 😅

that's because it's an international truck from 2011, isnt new

@@HAHA.GoodMeme it’s very new to North America

I plan on getting mine with the raptor grille

my 2020 gets in on friday...i feel the same way haha

@@steezosaurusrex congrats!

Haha just got a 2021 last week I'm loving it haha

How do you like cactus grey? I’m stuck between that and carbonized grey

@@albikasemi2322 cactus was nice, didn't see too many in my area, which I definitely liked for the unique factor. It is a non metallic paint though, so swirls and scratches can be visible depending on lighting.

I'd love this! I already have your Mishimoto cold air intake kit + have noticed "seat of the pants" feel & power gains even on the "stock" tune.

Mishimoto I’d love to do a test for you if you supply the parts.

Mishimoto, you need my address.....? 🙃

@@00ZincGT, on your level of a build the upgraded Mishimoto intercooler could be "just what the doctor ordered"! You already have their intercooler piping kit too. You'd really free up the last restriction in your path to more power. That's really the big Achilles Heel in all the EcoBoost motors = heatsoak, especially when the boost/power is increased significantly! Alot of different performance intercoolers are made for the Ford 1-150 EcoBoost trucks. That I know of only 3 different ones are offered for the 2019 & up US spec Ford Ranger trucks. Mountune Performance (makes alot of Ford Focus/Fiesta ST + RS performance parts), Levels Performance & of course Mishimoto!

I have the mishimoto intercooler and piping on my ranger and just a preloaded tune gained half a second in the quarter probably just what your truck needs

Def ain't no v8 tho

Pulls better then a v8 even stock it can walk any 4.6 or 5.4 except maybe a lightning

They can if you install a turbo!

@@andybj4091 Then it wouldn’t be NA...

@@couch1596 That's my point. Well tuned and designed turbo engines are reliable and FAR superior. I have to admit that I am biased due to living at high altitude. For example, my 2.3L ecoboost ranger is WAY faster then my 4L V6 Tacoma. It's not even close! Maybe at sea level that wouldn't be the case. At my altitude, I've never had a car that I would consider "fast" that was NA. Including a few different V8's. My old 2006 Titan with the 5.7L V8 felt like it had less power then the 2..L. Turbos are simply amazing!

@@andybj4091 - it really is true. I’m in my late 50s and love the Turbo power plants. I remember the day when Chevrolet would pull a regular 4 or 8 cylinder, never designed to be boosted, off the shelf, add a turbo with NO intercooler and wonder why it wouldn’t last 30k. That is still a bit of the reason there is hesitancy. People will buy a 4 cylinder turbo diesel and never question how long it will last. The 2.7 EcoBoost is made of the same material as the 3.0 PowerStroke in the F150s in North America. They now design and build the turbo gas motors with similar thoughts as they do with the Diesels. One benefit is much less compression to manage. Times are changing and us old guys, or guys that refuse to forget the past, need to move on. My last 2 F150s I have had personally are both boosted. A 2019 Raptor SuperCab and now a 2021 F150 XLT Mid, FX4 SuperCrew PowerBoost Hybrid! 430 hp and 570 lb ft of torque. More than enough for me!

Oh man those 2020 XLT FX4 packages are some really really good looking trucks!

noice I have a friend who has one

My 2.7 just has a 5 star tune and injen cold air intakes jlt oil blow by and turbosmart blowboff valve with eddle Brock exhaust have had no issues in the 3 years I had the truck

Yo hows that build

I believe I found him on Ranger5g. He showed picks of the high pressure fuel pump and I believe he detuned it a bit to run on pump gas once the fun settled.

And you aren't able to make any power like this. Not even close. Trade it in

Toyota's really are not as reliable as people think and they force you to get all major repairs done at a Toyota dealership. Not only that but they are very limited when it comes to aftermarket.

@BG OBGAI I bought a 1993 Z71 K1500 for $19k in 94. I still have it to this day. 421,000 miles all original except 5 batteries a starter a water pump and two sets of front brakes. All original drivetrain. Goes 3k miles per quart of oil. And I pull my 21ft alum weld fishing boat to the ocean 3 hrs. away every few weekends except in the winter. No bullshit.

Show me were he made more, I already proved one person wrong

Not on these. Ford fixed the issue on the Ranger 2.3 Ecoboost.

I assume not too long, the 2.3 runs a open head block design... as most people who seriously mod the RS would tell you, most swap out for the 2.0 focus St/ecoboost closed deck designs as their built stronger. Or one could go through and install sleeves like the STI’s do. Whatever floats your boat

@@overknight5278 i’m not 100% sure but I think the 2.3 in the ranger and the mustang is slightly different from the rs. you’re right that the rs motor is garbage for high horsepower but I think ford realized that and changed it

@@nickkelly4208 correct me if im wrong but ford typically just uses the same engine through its line up. The same 2.0 ecoboost in the ST focus was the same one across all fords 2.0 2013-2016 line up (after 2015 they updated the 2.0 ecoboost to a open head design vs a closed head etc) but even now the 2.0 17+ shares a lot of components with the prev gen 2.0 ecoboosts. Currently im modding a 2.0 17 fusion and a lot of the components i buy are ST compatible or ST swapped lmfao. I just tell people i ST swapped it 😭 very small differences among the line up but engine wise typically ford uses the same lay out

Do you know of another one?......

Hp tuners, no plans

@@00ZincGT ok what do i need to run e-85??? I can't find any support for it any where.

Guy liner

@@chrisperez4313 goi liner

Don’t worry the girls love it to 😘

Yes

Same here.

@@GulfVet213 2.3 ecoboom if you tune it

Same boat as you. The Ranger has more rear leg room then a Tacoma or Colorado.

I was in the same boat ended up with a crew cab F150 leg room for days. Especially handy when you have to use a rear facing car seat for the first few years.

450hp is about the safe limit for the 2.3s until you go with a built block

The Ranger has the same amount of leg room as my 2013 Focus :)

I thought the same. I had an RS and wanted a ranger and then I got in the ranger and realized it practically had the same space/engine. I’m like why would I do this to myself? lol.

Sill running it hard, truck just crossed 41k miles

@@00ZincGT man that's impressive 👏 awesome job 👏

I live in Denver, having the big turbo basically makes up for the lack of oxygen so it’s comparable to a stock turbo at sea level. As far as running full e85, there are things the tuner can do to help keep rail pressure and everything happy.

So trashed, hate for you to see my Camaro 😂

It will definitely shorten the life of the motor

@@Bigdsd89 as it would any motor

I heard about those problems with the Mustangs and Focus but I have yet to see any thread with someone that blew their head gasket on the Ranger. I am sure it can happen but to say that its a problem with no findings is a bit misleading.

I take it- you drive a taco...the problems you describe are virtually nonexistent. Head gasket was from 6-7 years ago, fixed, and I have never heard of bearings letting loose...enjoy your taco.

ZFG did the tune, please look into the magnuson-moss warranty act

@@00ZincGT The problem with the warranties I had one company blamed it on the other company and vice versa.

No

In all honesty You might want to check out the lemon law i also have a eco boost an I’m at six thousand highway an seems to still be running good

3 years in on my 2020= 0 problems, I have replaced the tires due to getting a screw in the sidewall, but nothing else - it is the nicest vehicle I have ever owned... sorry about your problems.

@Em Ma where can I find these reinforcements?

I have 100% stock fuel system

@@00ZincGT you can run e85 in the stock fuel system??

@@first6982 for a short time yes but not on average

I drive darn near 30k/year

@@00ZincGT no issues with the truck so far even with this? I’m looking to get a ranger by the end of this year. How many miles are on it so far and have you run into any issues? I plan on keeping it stock internally

@@colevanboceg5399 25k miles, no issues. I switch between Ethanol and 91 regularly

@@00ZincGT I would have to do the same thing (switch between fuels) is the truck setup to gradually add more timing and boost the more it recognizes higher ethanol content? And with all these upgrades what do you top out power and torque wise on 91? I have 93 available but I’m sure it’d be close to 91. Plus on long drives I wouldn’t want to be permanently restricted to e85.

@@DDRDK I have to change the tune

It couldn't take it

No

It's a 4cyc what are you expecting? I thought it sounded fine.

Yes

@@00ZincGT me too

43k miles on the setup, still working well. Been on e85 95% of the time.

8.3 @ 85

@@00ZincGT why are there not any videos showing how much boost the rangers hit? I cannot find a video of anyone that has but a boost controller or changed spring in the blow off valve to get more boost

Mine hits 22.48

Dragy best is 12.9 at 6000’ elevation

Would likely do much better at sea level!

They're a pretty trustworthy block.

They are corrected

ford owned part of Mazda from 1974 till 2015 coincidence...... I think not

Pretty much the identical

Yeah I had a speed3, that thing was stout for sure!

E85 with a lot of remote starts I was getting 17, currently on 91 and it gets 24 with less remote starts I’ll be towing this summer

@@00ZincGT ty is that 16 in the city driving? & about how much did it cost for all the parts?

I drive mainly highway, parts alone were about 3k. That doesn’t include tuning or labor
