Turbo upgrades

[Fast Mavericks]

Just a reminder that I offer 2 turbo upgrades for the stock downpipe and an aggressively priced Ranger turbo package.

The stock 2.0 turbo is a tiny 41/55 Compressor wheel. The stock 2.3 turbo found on the Corsair, Ranger, or Explorer are 46/61.

The 2.0 based CTR50 features a 49.5/67 Billet compressor wheel (appx 20% bigger than stock) and dyno proven at 349 awhp and 387 awtq! It’s a direct bolt on with no modifications necessary. The stock oil, coolant, and drain line are used as well as the downpipe and intercooler pipes.

The next step up is a 2.3 based CTR57 which features a 57/75 Billet Compressor wheel and a burnt titanium bullet tip. Like the CTR50, it retains the stock exhaust wheel which measures 45/50.

Though we have yet to find the limit of this turbo, a few guys have already made over 400 whp. If and when we find the limit, an exhaust wheel upgrade is already being planned.

The 2.3 Variant found in the Corsair is a 99% direct swap, with the exception being a small modification to the turbo lines. The downpipe and intercooler pipes bolt right up. Unfortunately, the Corsair 2.3 turbo is more than double the cost of a Ranger 2.3. Finding a used one is also next to impossible. Enter the Ranger/Explorer 2.3 turbo.

The Compressor and exhaust wheels are the same as the Corsair but several external differences mean it’s not a direct bolt on. I’ve had the Ranger 57 with modified downpipe on my truck for over a year now and had this planned ever since I had the stock downpipe flanges made. The 40 304 SS Ranger turbo flanges have finally been put to use.

I posted the prototype a few days ago and the first 6 production downpipes will be ready this week. A few are already spoken for but these will be built in batches so there are always some on the shelf.

7 Ranger CTR57s are currently being built as well as 3 CTR50s. Big changes in my life mean that I won’t be doing this part time anymore. Once my move is complete, Fast Mavericks will be my new full time career.

I’ll post some updates shortly and can’t wait to show you guys.

How hard is it to swap the Turbo? Do you go from the bottom or top?

I did it when I swapped the motor but definitely from the bottom. The book calls for you to drop the cradle but I just removed the transfer case and there’s plenty of room. I’d imagine a FWD would be much easier.

do you have dyno charts you can share? I'm curious to see the torque curve compared to stock. for such a tiny turbo, I think full boost arrives relatively late compared to other modern 4 cylinder turbos.

It's impressive to see such options for the 2.0. My Maverick is not yet delivered, but I had a 2.0 EB in a 2013 Escape, and it was a great engine. I believe that was the first generation of this engine. It was strong and reliable, though i left mine completely stock.

Awesome you are making it work full time. Im just not ready yet, we gotta put some more scratches on ours and wear out our warranty before I put one of these big huffers on our truck. How about I just send ya $100 a month for the next few years and you keep a whole speed kit on the shelf for me. I miss Kmart layaway lol.

Keep up the good work, I will give you my business when I can.

The other concern is.. How long until the little 2.0 is scattered in pieces on the road from the increased boost?

This is what I was asking in the Fast Mavericks thread downpipe thread. I was wondering if it was turbo lag or tranny lag? I was more concerned with lower speeds. Dyno runs are usually in fourth gear?

You GO!
follow the dream it will Happen!

There’s virtually no lag at all since both turbos retain the stock exhaust wheel. To your point, the Trans is really sluggish when not in sport mode.

I offer afterpay which gives you 4 months no interest payments

That’s always a concern when modding cars. It’s part of the hobby. Like the saying goes “you’re not making power unless you’re breaking parts”. All kidding aside, a good tuner is essential and even thats not a guarantee..

Regarding the blown motor, I have my 2.0 spare motor which I plan to build a forged 2.3 with. The transmission worries me more anyway

If it’ll sound like my 6.0 power stroke I’ll buy one asap!

Probably not with any of these options offered. Ford has been updating the 2.0 for a long time and even the old ones would run up to about 400whp on stock parts before they would start dropping parts out the bottom. Which will take not just a turbo but more than likely fueling upgrades also.
In fact these bigger turbos may be a savings to the trans. If it builds boost higher that eliminates some stress on the trans by getting the vehicle rolling a bit in launches before being spooled. But as he stated probably won’t have much of a jump up in spool rpm on these.
