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!

Subscribed for the gains. Looking forward to seeing the numbers
I wonder if our factory fuel system will support the HP?
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.

I still love speed. That'll never change. I've just reached an age where I don't want to max out everything. The desire is still there, but the brain has finally engaged enough to say "no, this one needs to prioritize mileage". I've still got several Trans Ams, '36 Ford sedan, Edsel Villager, Willys wagon, etc. To play with. I'm still browsing lift kits for the Maverick but I can justify that with utilitarian needs over mpg.

Very interesting! What about larger injectors and higher capacity fuel pump? This is the ultimate sleeper.

These are direct injected, upgraded fuel pumps are $1600-2600, way more than I'm willing to spend. I've only spent roughly $700 on the Mav for performance parts, since I already owned my tuner. Another $500 for the corsair turbo and new tunes. This is my end all for this truckette. I still rock the factory steelies!

There will no doubt br some 11 second Mavericks! We are lucky to have such a seasoned engine to start with!
