The MT82 may work with the 2.0. I know it works with the 2.3.

Hell yeah! Thank you for watching, and good luck with the ranger build, it sounds like a sick project!

They are extremely torquey engines, especially with the stock turbo. The 2.3s stock turbo will spool fast enough to make a ton of torque down low. Just have to be careful to not make too much torque at low RPMs, the rods and pistons can't handle the added pressure.

I believe that it does. Same with some of the Mazda trans from the same era.

@@stroupperformance9384 the 6 speed from the last gen Miata’s fits. Not sure they made an ‘02+ b2300, if they did it’s super rare.

I could always buy a pair of quarter panels and weld them in if I wanted to go back. I probably won't though.

The car weighs right around 2700 lbs.

LKQ is the best source that I have found. Check my Ecoboost swap 101 video, I list out the year, make and models that you can get the 2.0 Ecoboost from.

All parts on the build are off the shelf parts, either from Ford or some other aftermarket manufacturer. The only things that are custom made is the downpipe, drive shaft, and engine mounts. It's definitely a fun car now, just flashed a 400whp tune on it today.

Can't beat the V8 music. But 400whp from a 2.0 mostly makes up for it!

I don't get the hate for the one piece lights. I like both styles. On a heavily modified car like this I think the one pieces fit the aesthetic better. Three piece lights look better on a more original looking fox.

@@stroupperformance9384 I agree! 👌

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.

Last time I weighed it, before the fiberglass hood, it was just under 2700 lbs.

I had my driveshaft shortened by a few inches, and swapped from the stock front yoke to one for a TKX. Depending on your choice of transmission and engine mounts, your driveshaft length will differ slightly.

The esslinger adapter converts to a small block ford bellhousing pattern. Anything that would fit behind a small block ford should bolt right up. I didn't have to cut any of the firewall for my set up, but I did hammer the pinch weld flat where the cowl meets the firewall. I can send you the CAD files for my engine mounts. My mounts are specific to the AJE K member though. I believe they use a different mounting position than the stock K member. I can send them via email if you would like though. [email protected]

No, the exhaust manifold is integrated into the head. The turbo bolts directly to the head. The after market turbo has a small adapter elbow, this allows it to also bolt directly to the head.

Oookey, thank you so much, I'm planning myself to do a swap of an Ecoboost but in my case it's going to be on my Ford Capri mk3...😏😏 All your videos are extremely helpful, thank you so much, is there anything (as some kind of code) that differentiate the first and second generation of Ecoboost? I meant the close deck, I know there is a "solution" on the new open deck blocks but I looking for the first and I can not find any code for it. Thank you so much again, if you are interested, i can show you how my car is going😬

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.

Yes it's a gen 1. I used a 0oz balance 157 tooth flywheel and a 26 spline 10.5" clutch for a small block Ford.

It is a BNR ST71 turbo kit.

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.

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.

That's a great idea, I'll put it on the list. I have some more suspension changes coming soon too.

@@stroupperformance9384 sweet thanks man! I’ve been looking at the eco swap into my new edge but I’m not sure how much more different/difficult it will be. And maybe a cost break down of the build to get the motor in and running. Thanks again love the build!

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 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.

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.

Hell yeah! Thanks for watching!

Yes sir, Maier racing 3" kit

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

There are a couple companies that make flares and complete kits now. The new dominator kit is pretty nice, but I like the more factory style body lines of the maier racing kit that I have. They are barely noticeable after being blended in.

The price tag is definitely pretty wild. But it's a really nice piece.

Not a recall on this engine, it was a recall on the newer twin scroll engines.

@@stroupperformance9384 Ah, then it should be more than okay!

Thank you!

You can contact me by email and we can go from there [email protected]

That is not an issue with this engine as it is an earlier single scroll engine with the closed deck block. It is not the later twin scroll open deck block. These engines are very reliable, even when pushed to twice the factory rate power.

@@stroupperformance9384 they redesigned some stuff for the 17’ models such as twin scroll turbo and compression ratio,but,the block it’s the same. The closed deck was on N/A Focus (completely different animal).

I have built quite a few of these engines, and can confirm, all engines with the single scroll turbo are closed deck, just like the Focus ST. Check out my Ecoboost 102 video, I show one of my old blocks that failed due to a stuck injector.

@@stroupperformance9384 seems that you’re right… I’m glad to admit that I was mistaken,sense I own a 13’ Escape 2.0. I guess I’ll be holding on to it for a little while longer!
