Thanks for these in depth Ecoboost Mustang videos! I have a tuned Ecoboost and watching your videos helped convince me to start modding my 2017. It's been a great time!
Someone I know has this turbo on their RS making 530whp and 600 lb of torque. Just picked up one myself for my Focus RS! Great products and video! Thanks 🙏
Charles, As you know, I purchased the Precision Turbo / Turbonetics NX 2 a while back from you folks. I also listened to your recommendations about the intercooler, waste gate, COBB, 3" downpipe, NGK Ruthenium plugs gapped to .0236, and the catch can. I run 91 Octane pump gas. I had the car tuned by Edge Motorsports in Englewood, CO. They are a COBB authorized tuner facility. They dyno tuned it. As you said in the video, with 91 Octane, I'm producing 354.1 hp at 5300 rpm and 376.4 ft. lb of Torque at the same rpm. BEFORE the upgrade my personal best ¼ mile time at Bandimere Speedway (track elevation 5800' ASL) was 13.29 seconds at 105.7 mph trap speed. At that time I had the intercooler upgrade and 3" downpipes with a CAI, stock turbo and a COBB State 2 OTS tune. I don't know what the pre-upgrade hp and torque were. Your video was a big help. Thank you for putting it out there. Our first track day here in CO will be April 9th weather permitting and another test and tune April 23rd/24th. I'll leet you know how it does. I also upgraded my tires to Mickey Thompson Street Comp 18" 255/45 R 18. The tires that came with the car, in a word, sucked.
Wow that DA is super high and trap speed is impressive. I'm sure with just a little meth that car will dip into the 12's with ease! Thanks for the detailed review and you're very welcome for the video.

@@etmccaus R&D is extremely expensive for those types of ventures. We can’t even supply the NX2 fast enough at its current sales volume. The world is still in COVID supply chain issues.
I had some slow shipping issues but overall I’m so glad I got the NX2 it makes roughly 350 wheel as it stands right now and I have a new wastegate to add which should make a difference. I have friends with v8s that are genuinely impressed with my ecoboost because of the work done to it.
I've got a similar turbo for my camaro 2.0, mines the 20g frame 52.5x73mm compressor wheel. They spin around 4k rpm, but getting to 4k rpm in a 4cyl is pretty quick already. So the boost lag is almost nonexistant.

I already have a catch can. Should I also do the inter cooler and intake ? Or can I just get away with just the catch can plus an intake.
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance alright sweet. I already got an exhaust on it and catch can. So the turbo, plus the intercooler and spark plugs should have me at the 380whp+ and reliable right ? My pops has a 17gt and I think with this I’ll be able to keep up with him and even beat him.
Can the block handle those number reliably that seems way past the trans the and engine limit without going built do I spent 2k after installing it to blow my engine a week later ?
Is the Clean or Dirty side catch can (passenger vs drivers) the priority or does it need to be both? And am I wrong in taking from this video that upgrading the turbo does not pay off if you want to run 91/93 octane?
We recommend the dirty side when pushing 400+ Clean is the last one I would install. That is wrong, upgrading the turbo is beneficial on all fuel types, the car is not even the same.
I have an HPP the FP Turbo is 5% larger than the standard turbo but has a larger compressor than the NX2, but the turbine housing on the NX2 in addition to its efficiency makes a night and day difference. If you're contemplating between the two NX2 all the way. I got my HPP thinking the turbo would give me a small advantage and while its stock tune is 40% wider on a torque curve, it's simply not worth it. They are coming out with a 2024 next gen NX2 this year capable of 600+whpm I would honestly wait for that to come out and old prices will go down and then you can choose whichever one you want. The NX2 by itself won't do much. First mods should be catch can, intercooler (I went CVF Race, CVF TiAl CP's TS Raceport BOV) and then you definitely want a DP. I went CVF 3' Catted ($399). If you buy the NX2 install the TS 19psi WG before you bolt it on because your CP's and other connections will be in the way. My car comes with a quad exhaust and resonator delete and from what I know upgrading to catback/turboback exhaust doesn't gain you much power or many advantages and still sounds like shit. The tomei is a viable option only because you're reducing exhaust weight by over 100lbs. I would get a radium PCV baffle at that point and focus on reducing crankcase pressure. UPR also sells a crankcase breather that goes on your oil cap for $79.99. If you do the UPR DVCC by itself its $289 but with billlet check valves, magnetic drain plugs, clean side catcher, fully optioned out it's about $800. EMS is also selling Brisk plugs pre-gapped because the NGK ruthenium's are very firm and were a pain to get exact but they come at .30 so if you're gapping them there isn't too much to do.
Almost 2x bigger. The HPP turbo is barely bigger than stock, and Ford wasted so much money retooling. Of course, without knowing the actual motive of what they switched, upgrading to the NX2 or BNR is the only choice.
So I'm kinda new to this, I'm looking to make around 480hp will , a upgraded intercooler, 3" downpipe, catch can, air raid cold air intake, nx2 turbo, and a cob tune enough?
Unless you are willing to sign a contract, we do not recommend going this high on the stock block with this turbo. We recommend our Full-Race turbo kit with a larger turbo to ease cylinder pressure to achieve a higher horsepower on the stock block. To make this power safely on an NX2, you'll need a built EMS block with proper fueling or meth.
I got this Turbo but i dont like how it only goes to 520 ... rather get a Diff turbo that can handle 600+ HP so that the built block i buy can be worth it
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance yea but for stock blocks the safe zone is under 450whp you cant see full potential of this turbo unless u get a built block 🤦♂️ with Other turbos u get Built block but u know u can push it over 600+
Hey Charles about to purchase the nx2 pretty damn soon will it work with my roush Cai? All I need is the catch can and the turbo to be done with My build I've gotten pretty much everything else.
Hey Daniel, The Roush uses a (1) Silicone Coupler CAT to Turbo 3” to 2.25”, you will need to purchase a 3" to 3.5" coupler to adapt the intake to the NX2
It can be found here ffperformance.co/product/function-factory-performance-2015-2021-ford-mustang-ecoboost-nx2-turbo-upgrade-kit/ Install is about 12 hours
I'm pretty sure I know the answer but want to be sure. I live in California and the downpipes are not carb legal.. don't I absolutely need a 3 downpipe or can I get away with not having one. thanks in advance
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance thanks for the fast reply one more question if you don't mind will it be a big hp drop if I stick with the stock downpipe or will I still see big numbers?
I don’t have a Cobb access port at all but how will a custom tune work ? With governors off fan changes time boost changes and on 26psi ? 🤔 is it still safe @anyone ?!
Are you really going to pushing oil into the valve cover if running 91/93 pump fuel at under 26PSI ? Im doubtful of that, thats so close to what the stock system is handling. Are you saying you need the catch can regardless ? Or that you only need it if chasing that 520HP number ?
They’re not even comparable. The NX2 is 2x bigger than the stock unit and even the HPP turbo. HPP is only 1 to 2 mm larger than the stock turbo. They could have literally achieved the same results with just timing and boost but decided to use a larger turbo which makes no sense to us.
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance I'm no expert on turbos, I'm just trying to make an informed decision, according to the specs I just read on the 2020 HPP it says the raised it to a 63mm turbo compressor, but doesn't give specs for the turbine, so it's hard to make a decision without all the info. I don't have a problem with spending to get more performance overall, and look forward to starting the performance upgrades. I've been following your content and you're giving me lots of good ideas, I appreciate the response.
@@ST_DCT to put it in simple terms The HPP turbo air’d out to the max could make around 410 wheel horse power where as the NX2 air’d out can make around 530 wheel horsepower
Will this kit go well with a Borla Atak Catback system? I also have a Turbosmart BOV, Mishimoto Catch Can, Air Raid Intake Tube with Air Raid drop on filter. I have no tune at the moment. Will this all be compatible with this kit?
Hi i have a question i bought a 2021focus st mk4 same 2.3 ecoboost would it be possible to run 400 hp with stock gpf and cat with the nx2 problem i have is i live belgium with stupid rules so id need to have 2setups one That gets me true mot emissions and 2 go baby go could you take a look and see what i need or of its possible Great video btw 👌
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance guess if you wish to do that get a performance rebuilt engine, get oem one fogged for storage and be prepared for 2nd swap
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance rebuilding with new bearings at 80k instead of 160k adds 2.5 cents per mile. The v8 inefficiency with heavy foot costs 20-25 cents per mile
I have a 2019 Mustang Ecoboost Convertible. I live in Mississippi. Would i need to bring my car to you in order to have it installed? My car is stock right now…do you recommend other mods as a start point? Slightly cheaper overall? I dont need 500+ WHP, but possibly 350WHP to 400WHP..Thank you.
So is the 350 HP with 91 with all the listed upgrades, or just from Turbo and tune alone? I wont be doing this stuff for a while. In the meantime, I just have an after market catback exhaust, JLT intake. Wont do downpipe, turbo or tune until my drivetrain warranty is nearly up xD I am just curious if that 350 is the most im looking at with all thats listed. Thanks!
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance Thanks! I plan to get NX2, Intercooler, Cobb Tuber (recommended?) and a downpipe. Probably Spark plugs as well. I already have an aftermarket intake (JLT) At that point I will be running with 93 octane. Safe to say I will achieve that 370?
So I've been running cobbs 91 octane stage 3 tune with this turbo. Waiting to get my custom tune from Tunesplus. I asked Adam from tunesplus and he told me it was ok to run the canned tune thats on the cobb tuner. Hmmmm you said it could blow up my motor. Now im confused.. Maybe i wont drive it until i get the 1st tune from Adam..
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance to late.. Drove with it for around 100 miles no problem luckily.. Seemed to run fine with the cobbs 91 octane tune. Funny thing is I bought it from a Ford dealership with that tune loaded on it. Mustang has Ford extended warranty on it too with all the add ons. I was shocked! 2018 ecoboost.
Can this be intall with the Cobb stage 2 package on my 19 EcoBoost? And If I dont want go over 500wrhp do I need an the fuel system upgrade? Also do you have an whole kit package?
Yes, here is the entire kit ffperformance.co/product/function-factory-performance-2015-2021-ford-mustang-ecoboost-nx2-turbo-upgrade-kit/ You’ll still need Meth on 91 or 93 if you want anything over 400 WHP
We had 90K miles before I miss shifted. When we tore down the engine, the bearings were decently beat. I'd say 100k is the MOST you're gonna get out of it at that power level.
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance Hi. How much whp and wtp did you have when the engine bearings broke? I’m considering that Turbo for being around 400 whp / 450 wtq, but I don’t know how long a stock engine will last by staying on the limit side of whp. Thanks
@@Big_Wax the standard ecoboost is 310 crank horse power on 93 octane and 350 crank torque. With FBO's and tune on 91 320 wheel horse power can be achieved so depending on what the car puts down in stock form you will see anywhere from 40-70 hp gain. The 2020+ HPP cars come 330 crank horse power with the bigger ford performance turbo.
I knew it.! It sounds too good to be true. Just like another sale pits type of a deal. Why can’t one company invent something that don’t have a string attached to it. Don’t claimed this will produce 520hp to which its gonna required a supplemental in order to achieve its goal. This killed it in terms of purchasing one.
Uh... that's not how cars work Jeep Wrangler Lover. ANY UPGRADED TURBOCHARGER will require more fuel, a bigger intercooler and a tune at minimum. Try again.
Damn only 45 horsepower increase if usimg 91... Glad I watched the entire video because now I know it's not worth the money sadly :( Would rather just buy a GT lol
How is it a 45 hp increase? Baseline HP can be around 240 to 250 WHP. With minor bolt on-s and NX2, you're looking at nearly 360 to 380 on 91. That's a huge delta.

So I'm kinda new to this, I'm looking to make around 480hp will , a upgraded intercooler, 3" downpipe, catch can, air raid cold air intake, nx2 turbo, and a cob tune enough?
Unless you are willing to sign a contract, we do not recommend going this high on the stock block with this turbo. We recommend our Full-Race turbo kit with a larger turbo to ease cylinder pressure to achieve a higher horsepower on the stock block.
To make this power safely on an NX2, you'll need a built EMS block with proper fueling or meth.
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance ok.. I'm listening... full race turbo kit and a bigger turbo, which turbo would hi recommend?
@@beastmodeloading2138 all depends on your goal. If you’re willing to go that’s route, I’d say a minimum of a 8474
I got this Turbo but i dont like how it only goes to 520 ... rather get a Diff turbo that can handle 600+ HP so that the built block i buy can be worth it
This turbo is designed primarily for the stock block. We’ve already seen over 540 WHP on built blocks with this same turbo.
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance yea but for stock blocks the safe zone is under 450whp you cant see full potential of this turbo unless u get a built block 🤦♂️ with Other turbos u get Built block but u know u can push it over 600+

Hey Charles about to purchase the nx2 pretty damn soon will it work with my roush Cai? All I need is the catch can and the turbo to be done with My build I've gotten pretty much everything else.
Hey Daniel,
The Roush uses a (1) Silicone Coupler CAT to Turbo 3” to 2.25”, you will need to purchase a 3" to 3.5" coupler to adapt the intake to the NX2

Can you put these on a 2.3L ecoboost Ford Ranger?
I do not believe so. Downpipe, charge pipes, intake, oil lines, water lines, will not match up
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance soon to come i hope, i offer my rig as sacrifice ;)
Do you need the wastegate if you are not going E55/E85?
You need it no matter what, the stock gate will not give you full performance even on pump.
I'm pretty sure I know the answer but want to be sure. I live in California and the downpipes are not carb legal.. don't I absolutely need a 3 downpipe or can I get away with not having one. thanks in advance
*Do I absolutely*
You do not, we have run this car with the stock downpipe. There is still power to be made.
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance thanks for the fast reply one more question if you don't mind will it be a big hp drop if I stick with the stock downpipe or will I still see big numbers?

Can I use this turbo with a Cobb stage 2 tune and a 12psi turbosmart wastegate ?
No, you will need a custom tune. If you try this, you will put a hole in your block the size of the moon.
I don’t have a Cobb access port at all but how will a custom tune work ? With governors off fan changes time boost changes and on 26psi ? 🤔 is it still safe @anyone ?!
Is the 2.3 engine OEM or has it been upgraded?
This turbo is designed for the stock engine
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance thanks !!
You mentioned replacing the wastegate, I already have the turbo smart dual shortie blowoff valve, could I use that part on this turbo?
yes will work with stock, ets, or mountune intake.
You will need a wastegate which is a separate part number.
is there any lines or anything else worth insulating under the hood on a car with stock cat?
I recommend wrapping your catch can lines with gold wrap

Are you really going to pushing oil into the valve cover if running 91/93 pump fuel at under 26PSI ?
Im doubtful of that, thats so close to what the stock system is handling.
Are you saying you need the catch can regardless ? Or that you only need it if chasing that 520HP number ?
Catch can is a must regardless. Even on stock tune with minimal boost there’s plenty of blow by getting into the valves.
How does the NX2 stack up vs the High Performance Package Turbo?
They’re not even comparable. The NX2 is 2x bigger than the stock unit and even the HPP turbo.
HPP is only 1 to 2 mm larger than the stock turbo. They could have literally achieved the same results with just timing and boost but decided to use a larger turbo which makes no sense to us.
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance I'm no expert on turbos, I'm just trying to make an informed decision, according to the specs I just read on the 2020 HPP it says the raised it to a 63mm turbo compressor, but doesn't give specs for the turbine, so it's hard to make a decision without all the info. I don't have a problem with spending to get more performance overall, and look forward to starting the performance upgrades. I've been following your content and you're giving me lots of good ideas, I appreciate the response.
@@ST_DCT to put it in simple terms
The HPP turbo air’d out to the max could make around 410 wheel horse power where as the NX2 air’d out can make around 530 wheel horsepower
Do you recommend this over the comp 5858 drop in turbo?
We have not done any testing on the 5858 so it's very hard to advise on that.
could i use a roush intake?
@@nightrider3991 yes, you will just a 3.5 to 3” silicone coupler
I was gonna do it but its almost 6k no thanks ill keep my stock 18 stang 🤘🏻
Bolt-ons can also be fun for low cost
Are those numbers to the crank or to the wheels?
Wheel.
Can this setup work on the 2016 V6 3.7 ??
This turbo is only for the EcoBoost Mustang
Could I do all this to my car and still use it as a daily car ??
Yes, absolutely.
Will this kit go well with a Borla Atak Catback system? I also have a Turbosmart BOV, Mishimoto Catch Can, Air Raid Intake Tube with Air Raid drop on filter. I have no tune at the moment. Will this all be compatible with this kit?
You will need a tune the second you start your car.
I highly recommend a catted downpipe if paired with an Atak.
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance thank you! I'll definitely try to get all the pieces together before getting the turbo and lastly tune
Hi i have a question i bought a 2021focus st mk4 same 2.3 ecoboost would it be possible to run 400 hp with stock gpf and cat with the nx2 problem i have is i live belgium with stupid rules so id need to have 2setups one That gets me true mot emissions and 2 go baby go could you take a look and see what i need or of its possible Great video btw 👌
Hi John, pls reach out to Randy@ffperformance.co
I don’t have cobb I have ngauge would that work??
Any tuning device will work. Just make sure you're working with someone you trust.
Any longevity tests on 500hp tuned ecoboosts?
Yes, if you beat on it, the bearings will go out at about 80k miles.
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance guess if you wish to do that get a performance rebuilt engine, get oem one fogged for storage and be prepared for 2nd swap
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance rebuilding with new bearings at 80k instead of 160k adds 2.5 cents per mile. The v8 inefficiency with heavy foot costs 20-25 cents per mile
I have a 2019 Mustang Ecoboost Convertible. I live in Mississippi. Would i need to bring my car to you in order to have it installed? My car is stock right now…do you recommend other mods as a start point? Slightly cheaper overall? I dont need 500+ WHP, but possibly 350WHP to 400WHP..Thank you.

Do I need a after market block to run 500 hp
Short answer: if you want it to be reliable, yes.
520 on the stock block and internals with all the supporting mods mentioned?
With the cylinder pressure that this turbo would make, THAT'S A BIG MAYBE. 460 is more a realistic number, that is to the wheels.
So is the 350 HP with 91 with all the listed upgrades, or just from Turbo and tune alone?
I wont be doing this stuff for a while. In the meantime, I just have an after market catback exhaust, JLT intake. Wont do downpipe, turbo or tune until my drivetrain warranty is nearly up xD I am just curious if that 350 is the most im looking at with all thats listed.
Thanks!
350 HP would be achieved with the NX2, intercooler, and tune. We highly recommend a downpipe as the stock DP is very restrictive.
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance Thanks! I plan to get NX2, Intercooler, Cobb Tuber (recommended?) and a downpipe. Probably Spark plugs as well. I already have an aftermarket intake (JLT) At that point I will be running with 93 octane. Safe to say I will achieve that 370?
What about explorer?
We can do cartilage upgrades, shoot us an email at sales@ffperformance.co
How many power can be produced with bolts ons without installing upgraded parts inside of the engine?
He said a stock block.
So if running 91/93, are those HP/torque figures cranking or at the wheel? If not running an exotic fuel, is it worth it to go with everything else?
Wheel horse power, Meth will unlock a ton of power with 91.
So I've been running cobbs 91 octane stage 3 tune with this turbo. Waiting to get my custom tune from Tunesplus. I asked Adam from tunesplus and he told me it was ok to run the canned tune thats on the cobb tuner. Hmmmm you said it could blow up my motor. Now im confused.. Maybe i wont drive it until i get the 1st tune from Adam..
DO NOT RUN THAT TUNE WITH THIS TURBO!!!
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance to late.. Drove with it for around 100 miles no problem luckily.. Seemed to run fine with the cobbs 91 octane tune. Funny thing is I bought it from a Ford dealership with that tune loaded on it. Mustang has Ford extended warranty on it too with all the add ons. I was shocked! 2018 ecoboost.
thinking of installing this turbo. however, what about the ecoboom ?

You’ll still need Meth on 91 or 93 if you want anything over 400 WHP
All I need is the kit, send me one I’ll test it out.
Creative comment.
What’s the max HP this turbo can give you I heard up to 700hp? But ur saying 520hp
520, the Focus version is larger and you’re still at about 570 air completely out.
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance so if I get this for my mk3 rs I can make up to 570 with the extra mods??
@@RSTouch The block won't be happy about it.
Will 450whp be a good number that’ll last 100K plus miles with proper maintenance and supporting mods?
We had 90K miles before I miss shifted. When we tore down the engine, the bearings were decently beat. I'd say 100k is the MOST you're gonna get out of it at that power level.
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance from there what would have to be rebuilt?
@@TheJMan1K The bearings go out, but if you're building it you might as well "build it" with forged parts.
@@FunctionFactoryPerformance Hi. How much whp and wtp did you have when the engine bearings broke? I’m considering that Turbo for being around 400 whp / 450 wtq, but I don’t know how long a stock engine will last by staying on the limit side of whp. Thanks
@@Obmarmm 450
can you still use as a daily on 93 octane?
Absolutely yes.

Thanks! Now I want one.
Glad we made an impact.
How can I make more than 520whp??
How long does it take to install everything? I want to add mods to my 2018 ecoboost .
about 12 to 14 hours.
can't you pull like 380 hp off of 91 and tune on stock turbo?
No, 320 at most
I 380 is e30+ turned way up
So with a tune downpipe exhaust and blow off valve you only gain 10 horsepower more than stock?
i guess its worth noting the stock hp have changed a bit over the years the 21 models with the performance pack comes from the factory at 330
@@Big_Wax the standard ecoboost is 310 crank horse power on 93 octane and 350 crank torque. With FBO's and tune on 91 320 wheel horse power can be achieved so depending on what the car puts down in stock form you will see anywhere from 40-70 hp gain. The 2020+ HPP cars come 330 crank horse power with the bigger ford performance turbo.
I already have 394 whp 396 tourqe on 91 and stock turbo with 29 psi 🤔

Same
I knew it.! It sounds too good to be true. Just like another sale pits type of a deal.
Why can’t one company invent something that don’t have a string attached to it. Don’t claimed this will produce 520hp to which its gonna required a supplemental in order to achieve its goal. This killed it in terms of purchasing one.
Uh... that's not how cars work Jeep Wrangler Lover. ANY UPGRADED TURBOCHARGER will require more fuel, a bigger intercooler and a tune at minimum. Try again.
Damn only 45 horsepower increase if usimg 91... Glad I watched the entire video because now I know it's not worth the money sadly :(
Would rather just buy a GT lol
How is it a 45 hp increase?
Baseline HP can be around 240 to 250 WHP.
With minor bolt on-s and NX2, you're looking at nearly 360 to 380 on 91. That's a huge delta.
There is a difference between whp and crank horsepower 😂
For all the work and cost of parts, might as well buy a GT and just drive it😂
We never disagree with this statement, its the price difference between the EcoBoost and GT that is the issue.
$850 for a simple catch can? 😆🤣😂
Yes Chuck, the package comes with 3 catch cans that all have a functioning job. Let us know when your ready to built a 500+ WHP eco!
