F that warranty - lolRIP Warranty
bit badass
I made my own downpipe, all good there. My setup is almost maxed out, just need either a 3" cutout, or full exhaust. Right now it's as quiet as stock. Full weight with full exhaust(factory muffler and resonator and piping), it's gone 13.09@105mph. So think about that the next time people say you "need" an exhaust! LolSweet - Now just need to find a 3 inch Down/Pipe
Nice- So exhaust stock minus cat removal and DP ? What's your intake set up ?I made my own downpipe, all good there. My setup is almost maxed out, just need either a 3" cutout, or full exhaust.

Lets call it an SHO.Could we be looking at and SVO maverick in the future or even a Shelby. But, I hope after the current orders are filled. Cheers folks
That doesn't sound bad!Lets call it an SHO.
Intake is factory, but with a 3" pipe and cone filter. Basic of basic!Nice- So exhaust stock minus cat removal and DP ? What's your intake set up ?
Great build. Please keep us updated.Hi everyone, I took the stock turbo pretty much to the limit, so I decided to switch over to my new "upgraded" turbo!
The turbo, as the title suggests, is from a 2021 Lincoln Corsair 2.3T. It's internal sizing matches that of the Ranger/Explorer turbo, but the housings basically match the Maverick's turbo, because of packaging in the fwd layout, or transverse layout as it's more commonly known.
Installing a turbo on these truckettes is not for the faint of heart! It is a LOT of work, especially if it's awd, as the transfercase makes getting at the mounting bolts very difficult.
However, it is what it is. If you are cheap like me, this is how you pay to play!
So let's get into the reasons for this. First off, there is no upgraded turbo for our Maverick's yet, and this turbo mates up to all of the factory intake and exhaust! As in zero modifications needed!
Secondly, if you look at the performance benefits, these turbos, on 93 octane, peak out at 330ish whp, whereas the Maverick's turbo tops out around 270whp. This is based on dyno graphs I sourced from 5Star tuning. This is a MASSIVE GAIN for the cheap cost of these turbos! I spent about $350 after taxes on mine from ebay....
Onto the modifications needed to bolt this on. If you buy the oil and coolant lines from Ford, roughly $200, there are no modifications needed! I cannot say this as a fact, as I modified my factory lines to work, but with the 2.0 and 2.3 blocks being the same, I'm 99% sure this is the case.
I am cheap, and wanted to see if I could make the factory lines work, and I did! Some of the modifications to the lines will be pictured. Literally only had to cut grooves into the mounting flanges.
If 330whp isn't enough for your Maverick, there is an additional option for more power! CRP Engineering out of Canada modifies the ranger/explorer turbos for $900-1100, if you send them this turbo. Included is an upgraded billet wheel, 54mm or 57mm options, and will support over 425whp!!!
So, all this being said, I think I'm the first to put any upgraded turbo on the Maverick, and I will be updating this thread, and my Project QuickRik build thread with numbers when my tunes come in. Right now I'm running my 5Star 87 performance tow tune, and with easy driving it feels great! I won't speculate on gains until the new tunes are in and modified to my liking!
Thanks all for looking, and let's hope 2023 is an incredible year for Maverick Performance!
Edit: Added a picture of my truckette! Completely sleeper status!
4.37 seconds. Holy smokes. This is what this forum is all about. Awesome!Sorry, I forgot to mention this here, I did in my QuickRik build thread.: the fuel injectors are the same as the explorer/ranger, and the fuel pump is said to be better, running at 3600psi from the older versions at 3000psi!
For 93 I know it will be fine, Ethanol blends are somewhat up in the air, but I'm guessing E30 will be ok!
We shall see.
My numbers will be posted in the form of dragy runs, things like 0-60, 1/8th mile, and quarter mile.
So far my bests are 4.37 seconds for 0-60, 8.19 1/8th mile, and [email protected] quarter mile, all on E30.
Yep, and that was all on the stock turbo! Haha.4.37 seconds. Holy smokes. This is what this forum is all about. Awesome!
I assumed that was on the Corsair. Very excited to read this. Feel like I'm reading an old issue of Super Street type of excited.Yep, and that was all on the stock turbo! Haha.
