- Mountune USA has developed and engineered the highest horsepower 4 cylinder 2.3L EcoBoost Engine--the same power plant that can be found in the Ford Focus RS, Ford Ranger, and Ford Bronco.

We should really collaborate! We made 805 whp with our 2.3 on the old setup! Looking to pass 1k whp with the new setup.
Hi Jessie, how much power and boost can the ecoboost motor handle before it needs the block mod kit applied to keep the cylinders from warping?
Looking to buy one which has been stroked and forged, however the owner didn't do the block mod as he wasn't aware of it at the time.
Really appreciate your help
And one year later goals are surpassed!!! Congrats EMS! But this is why I think it’s a Ute mistake to build with the 2.3 RS block. The casting is just to weak and badly casted. Was a cost effective way to raise share holder profits by using a open deck weak casting block.
@@Paper.Power.Politics lol
@@CoyoteDAworld you ready to buy my nx2 or what? Lol
I curious to get some feed back from an expert. What are the hp and torque limits for a 2.3(ranger version) with stock internals and block? Also what are the limitations to the stock internals and block that require upgrading? Been loving my tuned ranger!
Would really love to see a reliable 550 HP manual 2.3L bronco build with pistons and rods and dry sump.
Would make for a perfect sleeper F-150 or Mustang
I'm curious about the engine management. The AFR was rock solid all the way through the pull.
Jiminy Christmas is that stock rods pistons block with bigger turbo fuel management? I would be happy with a tune that made as much as the v6 eco boost stock everything.
I wish you guys would make one for the 3.5L Ecoboost. That would be amazing!
So at 29 psi it made 684 on di. So was that the limit for the di configuration could handle on e30? Like is it the stock pump and injectors or the new pumps that are all the crazy. Just seems odd that a nx2, 2000xid, a 615 pump, and a turbosmart wastegate. Get very close to that also on e30 to e85.
@mountune How much hp can make the focus st short block that you guys have?
Impressive. I wonder what the numbers would be for a reliable daily tune.
I want to put the 2.3 stroker in my ST can we see similar numbers?
my favorite company for 2.3 goods!
How does this compare to the ems badass ecoboost crate engine
Can u guys do this on my 2017 ford explorer 2.3?
Has it blown up yet? I’ve got 300 miles on my sleeved 2.3 and everyone saying it’s going to blow because it’s not 2.0 liter . Personally I think the 2.0 is just a money grab for builders to mass produce short blocks . Considering it takes a lot of time to machine and sleeve or even put CSS in a block . Btw my 2.3 blew at 30k because one of the cam bolts came loose and it jumped timing . 2 rods shot out , big ol windows on either side of the block. I’m having a feeling poor assembly is the reason for a lot of 2.3’s blowing. So wouldn’t doubt mountune could push a stock block that far if they actually tightened their bolts.
"big ol windows on either side of the block" User installed crankshaft inspection windows!
Damn man that sucks how much power are you making? You can check out mine on my channel mine dynoed at about 400 to the wheels and 460ish pounds of torque on E30.
In the mustang ecoboost world the big reason the 2.3 aren’t used as much is because many of them still carry the open deck design as opposed to a closed deck.
@@tendyedits1272 yeah kinda sucks ford did that. An aluminum open deck block is better for power, cooling etc but only up to a certain point. Give me a semi closed iron block, I don't care if it's heavier, less effeciant.
@@tendyedits1272 check out my mustang on my channel. I'm basically trying to keep my car safe but be a daily driver. I don't drive around on my e30 tune all the time. Blowing the block up scares me. When I get the time and money I will just do the escape/focus/fusion/maverick swap. They all run the 2.0 that's semi closed and it bolts right on to the 2.3. most people don't know the rs motor in just a 2.0 motor that Ford stroked to get 2.3.
Are this engines reliable I purchased a Ranger over a Tacoma n I’m very worried about I just didn’t like the old drivetrain on the tacomas
What did this you back i want one for my ranger🔥
Do you plan to make a kit with the EFR 8374? Twin scroll? Looks like you are hitting full boost at around ~4200 rpm.
Full boost already has on out for a cool 7k another 5 for a built bottom end
awesome!
now splatter that engine on the dyno walls! 800 here we go!
What the build to make this horse power 🙏
Where can I get an ECU to run a motor outside of the vehicle that will take tunes
Looking to find a standalone, harness and computer for my project any help would be grateful
Need that in Australia
I have a 2020 Explorer 2.3L Turbo Can you make this HP with an Explorer Engine
guys, please make the ST AWD
0:37 seconds the engine power reads 666.0 it's a demon engine! lol
That would make a '74 Pinto really stand up and dance.
What about explorer 2.3l
THAT SHOULD FIT IN A 2011 RANGER
I’m confused.. I see people talking about OEM blocks only being good for around 450 HP. How is an OEM block able to hole up to such HP? Non car guy here and just bought a Focus ST
Its a mountune block
@@Prolly_tyler We have a Mountune here in Cali and the guy at Mountune said they use OEM blocks. That;s why I was confused because I heard the OEM blocks are good for maybe 400 to 450 HP. Sorry, Not a motor guy when it comes to building engines.
It is an OEM block--but the assembly is completely built out by our engineers and engine builders.
just a guess... the block and heads are aluminum, but the cylinder bores likely have sleeves made of something harder like iron or steel. along with whatever other mods they make i imagine they make upgrades to try to keep the block cooled, ventilated and well oiled. so maybe things like a better water pump and oil pump, better breathing heads, etc.
@@kevingeezy5176 they're probably using a girdle to strengthen the block.
Also, bring back the blue cold air intake for the Focus ST and I will buy one from y’all so I don’t have to buy from someone else.
Those were limited run and will likely never be produced again, sorry :(
This makes me wanna swap my old fiesta engine to an ecoboost. Note its not even the ST version.
I had a fiesta st I made 383hp on stock engine
Ouuuuuuuuuch
Can I have the turbo?🥺
Thanks Mazda
I want to add a turbo to my Mazdaspeed 3, should I install a big turbo in series, or get twins? Also, what kind of turbo(s)? It's intended for street driving, and possibly rally down the road. It's ok if you don't have an answer 👍
Same engine in the Bronco?
yep, got one in my ranger too :)
Ford explorer 6 ?
Mustang engine as well
not the same
@@NemesisDigitalMedia yes it is actually
@@freedomisntfree_44 tell me you don’t know what you’re talking about without telling me you don’t know
They are extremely similar, but not exactly the same, a few differences to give the focus rs more hp. Same platform though. You can build a mustang Ecoboost to the same as an rs
@@josephrigo6251 yeah they did a few things different for the ole ranger
take my money
That's nearly 300hp/liter!
Mazda and ford 👍🏻👍🏻
Love the power of my stock 2.3 in my Bronco.. for trail rig , yeah its not 500+hp, but its plenty for a off-roader. I have a C8 corvette, I would never want that HP level in the bronco with a soft suspension and lifted 4x4 its a recipe for disaster IMHO. But could be amazing for the Mustangs.
What’s next, a 100hp lawnmower engine?
I’ve got a 24hp built predator 212 I got from harbor freight for $99 lol came with 6.5 hp. Really rips on a go cart
I guess not anymore huh? Thanks EPA
All the v8 owners are salty seeing this
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 . I highly doubt it
Not really because any motor that makes 3 horsepower per cubic inch or more is not a motor that will have any longevity to it,most people that buy vehicles want reliability not a hand grenade under the hood
I owned and raced a 5.0L once. Their too expensive to make more power. Turbocharging is cheaper. Just add boost and fuel.
How reliable as a daily 😂
So?
It was well known that the REAL Ford 2.3 that powered Pintos and Mustang II s would withstand over 600 hp, people used to build them for certain classes of racing to that power level.
This engine shares almost NO similarites ather than displacement. People should stop referencing an engine that was discontinued in the 90s as if it has anything to do eith the 2.3EB
@@RandomlnternetGuy Its inferior in nearly every way to the REAL Ford 2.3 introduced in the 1974 model year for use in the Pinto and Mustang II.
Decades of reliability even under racing conditions have proven that.unquestionably.
@@donreinke5863 agreed.
@@donreinke5863 emissions killed the reliability and wrenchability of all cars. Cars worth buying generally died for me after 2007 with a few exceptions like the 8th gen civic and 2nd gen Tacomas.
Instead of making videos like this maybe you should be looking at making parts available to uk customers because everything is out of stock literally all the time? People want the parts but you can’t supply them solve that problem first then let’s look at big power.
Ok Karen we'll get rite on that..
