Ranger motor built off Focus RS motor??? Mods compatability??

[t4thfavor]

I think I can log the following at the same time:

Throttle pos
RPM
Speed
Gear
Manifold pressure
Barometric pressure
Wastegate %

Might be able to get intake temps too.

I was going to do 0-60 runs in normal and sport mode, 100% stock Ranger. I’m curious if boost profile changes and if boost is reduced in first two gears, which I think happens on the F-150 2.7 eb.

will post some raw data and charts soon.

I’ll be keeping mine stock for awhile so if anyone has special request for baseline data give me a shout.

I’d be shocked I’d boost wasn’t reduced, the tires would just turn into smoke.

My initial testing showed manifold pressure holding in the range of 31-32 psi at 14.5 psi baro, roughly 18 psi boost as other have noted.

no lies, this makes me happy.

also, i had to do like a triple-take because i thought you were Chris from B is for Build. wrong side of the country though...

Everything for that motor is pointing the wrong direction given that it's transversely mounted. I had a FoST, and though its not an identical motor, everything is in roughly the same place as the RS. Nothing would bolt to this motor.

The balance shaft delete "might" fit, but I'm not interested in pulling the oil pan to find out

That said, the plastic intake manifold is good well past 30PSI and doesn't have the added benefit of heat soaking like an aluminum one would. Most people that replaced their intake mani on the 2.0L lost HP after a few pulls, and eventually sold the parts off on Facebook.

Look at the RS' "replacement"... The new version of the 2.3L Mustang. it is linear mounted.

The mustang has been mounted "correctly" since inception, but it has an electric fan, and a small oil cooler. It's also working in a different chassis with a different set of crossmembers and I don't believe most versions have/had the 10-Speed. I do think the Mustang with the 10-speed is new for 2019 or 2020.

Ranger turbo is also unique to the ranger (the part number is different anyways)

I like my Ranger "as is"....
I was merely suggesting that the new Hi performance Mustang 2.3 may well offer some crossover development which the RS could not. "Mods compatibility"being the subject of the thread.

Traverse mounted engines are of course mounted "correctly" for front wheel drive applications such as the RS.

Agreed, the higher performance motor will likely have many of the same "upgrades" our motor has, except for probably the mechanical fan mount.

Just because it's in there the right way, does not make it correct

Yeah, there was the Audi Fox and the Toronado!
