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.
I was thinking about running a 2.0 ecoboost in a 98 Ranger splash 5 speed. This is a great video! Thanks!
I know of a couple people who have put the 2.0 Ecoboost into rangers. It's an awesome swap!
@@stroupperformance9384 im wondering about doing just that. what other info can you lead me in. great video btw. thinking about this swap vs the v8 now.
@@mindtrick714 I would check out Jimmy Lunchmeat's channel. He has done a 2.0 ecoboost swap in his. I can't give much specific info on the ranger swap, as I have not done one. I can only give generic ecoboost swap help/advice.
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
Ecoboost would be a cool swap, I have also seen quite a few with the older 2.3L turbo Limas.
I’m under the impression the 2002 up ranger 2.3 trans bolts up also.
Very cool
Thanks g
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.
@@stroupperformance9384I’m still waiting on the harness, but the zf seems like a great option on paper because it’s super strong and quite light.
The JEM sport harness is in fact based on a ford control pack ecu
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.
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.

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.
Isn’t the 2.3 also in broncos? QuickDraw makes a bell housing to Jeep trans… but the LSPI is a concern
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.
The 2.3 L mustangs run a 355 gear set
Can you run an auto trans with the esslinger adapter?
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.
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?
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.
Where do I find a 2.0 for under a grand?
Search LKQ for the model cars that were listed in the video. For example here are the results for engines from an Escape. 70 engines ranging from $600-900 depending on mileage.

Could I put one into my 2005 ford escape 2.3
That generation escape should have the duratec 2.3. They are very similar to the Ecoboost, so it should be an easy swap. I believe the engine mounts are almost identical
@@stroupperformance9384 really if you have any tips please send them my way
man im looking at getting a 93 mustang. and its got the 2.3L
Ecoboost swap it!
@@stroupperformance9384 im thinking my 86 svo 2.3 turbo be nice or my 96 4.9L 300 inline 6. im not familur with these newer ecoboosts
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!
the 2.3 computer can run a 2.0, for what its worth.
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.
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.
@@stroupperformance9384 2.0 semi closed (ford fusion), and 2.0 closed deck (ST) are not the same. Every 2.0 block is different. Originally designed off the mazda 3 2.0 block which is almost identical to the ST block but also different.
@@stroupperformance9384 also the 2.0 ST block and 2.0 fusion block have different mounting points. And the v6 is not an ecoboost.
That is interesting. Ford's part system says that the 2013-2016 Fusion and 2013-2018 Focus ST have the same block with the same exact part number.
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.
