So, in my investigation of the throttle body and intake this is what I found. I already knew it's the same TB as the one on my 2.7 Fusion. The stock TB is maybe 58-59 mm. Both intakes are 64.45 mm. But the 2.3 is a nightmare inside. I swapped in my ported TB with half shaft mod while I send in the stock ones to get bored out to 64.45 mm. Even the ported one is good for a few hp and better throttle response. My mileage went up on my Fusion as well.

UPDATE ! The calibration is different!! You'd have to send in yours to be ported/ bored out. Or swap the electronics like I did with the ported one. So, got can't just bolt on a Mustang or Fusion one.

How much are they charging you to machine the stock Ranger TB

I'm looking around $160 a piece plus shipping mine to them.

That's different than the porting. I'm boring it with the half shaft mod. Going to 64.45 mm. The optimizing doesn't change the throttle plate/ bore size.

May have to go digging around my factory parts closet and hope I kept the factory TB from my old fusion so I can drive while it's off.:bandit: I'm sure they won't have any new ones for us for a while...

It has to be from a 2.7 fusion or 2.3 mustang.

Works but I don't personally bother with something that can run out other than gas.

Forgive my ignorance, but do you know if the few recently released tune kits can accommodate these mods to the TB? Or does one have nothing to do with the other?

I don't have my tune yet. It's not related. You don't need one for this.
