Hi guys - SEMA is a few short weeks away and Full-Race is bringing our A-game. Ive been offline, head down in my lab getting ready. Happy to say we are stepping things up and on schedule.
Without question, the 2.3L EcoBoost is the most challenging and rewarding kit we've done in 13 years. The heart of any kit is the turbo manifold - that is our specialty - and ours was in a state of constant evolution. We made a decision to step up and push through our comfort level... good enough was not acceptable. We selected Inconel 625 alloy for the ultimate in heat retention and elevated temp strength. Then we worked with Headgames Motorworks to validate our designs with stock cyl heads and fully prepped race heads. After redesigning the manifold runner aero 9 times(!!) we were able to increase exhaust flow ~22% with no losses.
The new inconel manifolds are finished, in stock, and shipping with all new turbo kit orders. Ive personally spent more resources on this single project than anything else in our company history. I am daily driving our EFR mustang right now and cant convey through this post how elated I am with the result. We've tested many different manifolds, turbos and housing configurations. Its clear that turbo lag is the enemy of the 2.3L ecoboost. Lag ruins what makes the mustang fun to drive. however this engine really needs a decent size turbo to have some fun, and this setup is the only way ive found to get that done. Below is the dyno result from the cobb accessport tune from jeff evans at evans-tuning in PA. This represents an entirely stock vehicle with our turbokit, intercooler and exhaust.
Turbo Kit is here: http://www.full-race.com/store/efr-...ost-efr-twinscroll-freakoboost-turbo-kit.html
i will put together a video to visually explain the differences and use an engine stand to illustrate the installation procedure. Let me know what questions you have and ill try to answer them in the video. Thanks for reading -Geoff
