Hello everyone, this is my first thread I've made here, but I've randomly been in some of the more performance oriented chats.
I am still waiting for my Maverick to be delivered, it's been sitting in Chicago for 3 weeks now, not sure what they are holding it for.
While waiting, I have been doing some research, and I have been looking at all of the turbos on the 2.3T models in Ford's lineup. I ended up with this turbo because it was cheap, and I found dyno videos showing 93 octane tunes putting down roughly 310-330whp in rangers and explorers. Even more with an upgraded high pressure fuel pump, and E85. That dyno was 355whp/474wtq. So, I know this turbo is more than up to the task to making the power I want out of the Maverick.
So I took a bunch of measurements of the turbo and will show that all in my pictures. The compressor wheel is a 46mm inducer/61mm exducer. I haven't found actual specs of the Maverick's turbo, but judging by the few pics I have seen, I'm guessing the compressor inducer is between 42-44mm.
There are a couple issues I haven't been able to verify yet. On the Ranger/Explorer turbos, the electronic wastegate actuator is actually a mirror image of the Maverick/Escape/BS unit, and as long as the connector pinout is the same, I think this will not be a problem, but I need to verify that. The other issue is I am not positive yet if the exhaust bolt pattern is the same between the units, I'm thinking they should be, but again, I need verification.
The only other major change I think the Maverick is in need of, is the intercooler, as has been posted by many. Thankfully, someone on here has already fitted a Focus RS unit on their Maverick, an I plan to do the same.
Ok, sorry for the long read, on to some pics!
Thanks for looking, if you have questions, or need specific pics, let me know!
If noone gets detailed info out about the Maverick turbo, I will do so when I get my truck!
