Performance , 91 octane in 2022 ranger vs 87

[Pistolpete]

Saw post where a 2.3 ecoboost mustang run on 87 octane vs 91 lost 35 hp, if 2022 ranger ran 91 vs 87 octane would the power increase by 35 hp?

With a tune perhaps ...

No, the 2.3 in the stang vs the rangers are tuned very differently our engines are drastically under tuned and powered compared to their potential the ecoboost makes 310 or 330 with performance package and ours make 270 hp we also make 40 less torques with 350 vs 310.

You could do a 93 tune (with gas prices where they are idk why on earth you would) and get a whole lot more as even with 87 ford intentionally detuned the 2.3 in ours so there is a lot more to give

have not seen any 87 tunes for my 2022 ranger , in my earlier post trying to find out if extra power in tune or gas. if you can point me to a 87 tune i would thank you. would like to do a cold air intake and a 3" catted down pipe with a 87 octane tune. what do you think

Also some Dyno graphs here showing stock tune 87 and 93 readings for deltas.

Livernois has one. You get all 5 of their tunes when you order which are:

87-89 performance
87-89 soft shift
91-93 performance
91-93 soft shift'
tow

Looking at 5 stars results, appears you could pick up some power just going to 93 octane with their dyno testing results. Not the numbers you are looking for, but some. Torque gains are what you should really be looking at as that is where the seat of the pants daily driving feel of power comes from on the ranger.

Just goes to show you how much ford detuned our 2.3's lol though honestly I am glad they did, more power and more boost means more component stress and lower lifespans though it will be a hell of a fun life

Keep in mind that the 270 HP rating Ford advertises for the Ranger is using 87 Octane. The 310/330 Ford advertises for the Mustang is with 93 Octane. Also, Ford advertises the HP rating on the 2.3 Ecoboost in the Bronco as 275 HP on 87 Octane and 315 HP on 93 Octane. It would be nice if they did the same for the Ranger.

So if you run your Ranger on 93 octane you will get around 300 HP. There are a number of threads on this forum that discuss this topic.

I'm fairly sure the mustang numbers arent with 93 I'll have to read the manual to be sure though

After having owned two Ecoboost Mustangs I can assure you they do rate the Mustang on 93 octane. There are enough Dyno tests that prove that.

The Mustang manual only has the same weasel words as the Ranger that you will get better performance on 93 Octane. Wish they advertised HP on both 87 and 93 like they did for the Focus ST and now the Bronco.

Yeah I went and looked it up half the time they do it for various models based on 87 and half the time they do 91 or 93 ford needs to be consistent lol I think the explorer gets measured with 91 and the edge too

This is incorrect.

The 270/310 HP/Torque on our trucks is rated with premium fuel per Ford's website. The specs do not define premium but usually it is 91 octane or greater. Your performance will be less on regular fuel. How much less, IDK.
