Let’s see what a 2.3 with this little turbo can do. The plan it to have in tuned and on the rollers on the 28th this month.

The 2.3 is not old in this instance, its out of a Lincoln Corsair. 2.3 ecoboost awd. I found the same engine locally for 2300 with 1600 miles. Im closely watching this.Surely you know what you are doing, but the 2.3 is an older version of the 2.5L found in the Hybrid, right? (Mazda L based) There are all kinds of tuning differences.
Not the same 2.3 at all.The 2.3L into an "old" Ranger was already done by Ford.
I guess the good news is that we will know in another 17 more days.. not just the engine but the other mods he's done to improve breathing/forced induction/fueling. It's something I'll never have the resources to do, but it's fascinating to see what a Maverick RS could be (I think this one is going more like an RS, than a ST). and of course this will be an evolving project that should only get betterExcuse my ignorance. But does .3L make it worth taking an engine out and replacing it with a new one?
Oh cool! I'm anxious to see the outcome for sure. Will be cool to see the difference in performance and fuel consumption.I guess the good news is that we will know in another 17 more days.. not just the engine but the other mods he's done to improve breathing/forced induction/fueling.
