List of EcoBoost Equipped Vehicles

These 1st Gen engines are some of the strongest blocks and the least expensive to purchase used, making them great candidates if you plan to build for high horsepower. But keep in mind, you'll need to upgrade many items to do so. Their stock components, such as the fuel system and turbo limits them to about ~250hp.

2.0L - 2nd Gen, Twin Scroll

These engines are basically the same as the 1st Gen 2.3L, just with less displacement and slightly different turbos depending on the model. Some of these 2nd Gen 2.0L engines had significant headgasket issues before Ford remedied the issue in ~2018-2019.

2.0L - 3rd Gen

The 3rd Gen 2.0L follows a similar pattern in that it's basically the same as the 2nd Gen 2.3L(2019 Ranger, Bronco, etc.), only with less displacement. These are capable engines that can be had for a good price, but typically equipped with smaller turbos and FWD orriented accessories.

2.3L - 1st Gen

These are the best "bang-for-buck" option for most applications. While more valuable than other options, the EcoBoost Mustangs do come with RWD-oriented accessories as well as the fuel system and turbo to make ~350hp in stock form.

2016– 2018 Ford Explorer

2015–2019 Lincoln MKC

2015–2023 Ford Mustang EcoBoost

2016–2018 Ford Focus RS

2.3L - 2nd Gen

In our experience, these engines are very stout and likely capable of some surprising torque numbers. However, their new oil-pump/balance-shaft design means you are pretty well stuck with OEM oil pan options. This makes fitting them into smaller sports cars a greater challenge. We also start to see these later-model Ford ECUs increasingly difficult to tune or work with in general. After about 2021-22, an OEM ECU is not a good option, and our harness for the Link ECU should be considered.

2.3L - 3rd Gen, "MPC"

The 3rd Gen 2.3L brings us factory-equipped Port Injection on top of the Direct Injection. Along with stronger internal components and a larger turbo, these engines show the most potential yet. The only option to control one of these is with our Link harness.

3.5L - 1st Gen

Only this generation 3.5L Ecoboost uses direct injection and does not use port injection. We do have patch harnesses and ECUs for these engines, but they can be difficult to work with due to the number of changes from year-to-year and across different models.

2010–2019 Ford Flex

2010–2016 Lincoln MKS

2011–2016 Ford F-150

2015–2017 Ford Expedition

2015–2017 Lincoln Navigator

3.5L - 2nd Gen

The 2nd Gen 3.5L introduces us to the use of both Direct and Port Injection. These are efficient powerhouses that are much easier to work with than the 1st Gen 3.5L.

2017–2020 Ford F-150

2017-2020 Ford Raptor

2018–2021 Ford Expedition

2018–2021 Lincoln Navigator

2020- Ford Transit

2017-2019 Ford GT

3.5L - 3rd Gen

The 3rd Gen 3.5L is very similar to the 2nd Gen. They can be controlled in the same way. It is actually very common to use 2nd Gen 3.5L wiring and ECUs to control 3rd Gen 3.5L engines. The ~2021+ OEM ECU is difficult and often impossible to work with in swap projects.
