EB Mustang Engineering Progression

[Livernois Motorsports]

While we at Livernois Motorsports & Engineering have already done a great deal for the performance of the 2.3 EcoBoost, we wanted to make certain we are ready for our upcoming plans for big power upgrades. We are sure many of you are just as eager as us to see more upgrades and info on the 2.3L EcoBoost engine.

So for those of you that want even more than the excellent gains from our tuning, and plan on major upgrades like larger turbos, and even higher boost levels, and power on tap, we want to ensure that the engine foundation is capable of handling all that extra power. These items we're developing, combined with our state-of-the art machining and assembly practices, will all be part of our upcoming Pro-Series Shortblock and complete engine packages for those of you wanting to push their 2.3L Ecoboost to the max.

So with all of that engineering and introduction stuff out of the way, we are very happy to introduce you to our new Livernois Motorsports Custom Piston and Rod!

Very pretty... cant' wait to see what yo can do with beefed up internals and big boost.

Compression ratio? Stock rod length?

 

[RubyRacer]

Noob question here (I even did a Google search before asking on here just because I didn't want to look like a fool or waste someone's time, but I couldn't find the answer) :

Does adding these pistons change the engine sound at all? I'm just curious if putting these kinds of heavy duty internals in an engine changes its character.

 

[PewterCam]

If you just did the pistons and rods and left everything else stock there would be no difference in sound.. It is, for the most part, replacing the stock pistons and rods with something capable of living under high cylinder pressures.

I highly doubt that pistons themselves will change the sound. A different compression ratio MAY change the sound a bit... but I doubt it.

It was stated in the other thread that the stock head is quite restrictive unless major porting is done -- so it's a possibility that a completely different head will be needed. This new head will likely have a completely separate exhaust manifold, etc which WILL change how the car sounds since it won't be using the weird gooseneck flange that's on there now..

Compression ratio? Stock rod length?

Wondering about this too. Your piston looks a little taller and the rod looks like it may be slightly longer. How much does this affect the compression ratio? Have you gotten these in an engine to dyno yet? Would you expect any performance change from adding in just these parts or are they just there to handle higher pressures from other upgrades?

Our piston actually maintains the stock compression ratio. The rod is not the same length as stock, it's slightly longer. We JUST finished our engineering yesterday. The upgrades are meant to handle the increase in pressure and bump in power.

If the rod is longer how does it maintain the same compression ratio? Is the piston then shorter to counteract the increased rod length?

Interesting. Long rod.

Yes, our piston height is shorter to accommodate for the longer rod design.

Interested in getting these later on

Makes sense, thanks.

 

[mbreinin]

Long rod engines make torque.

Your piston looks much better.

 

[LStillman]

Definitely not going to be DD friendly with 2618. Any plans to make 4032 variant?
