elie boone Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Doesn't the Ecoboost engine has a cast iron block as supposed to the alloy of the Duratec ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted July 25, 2015 Member Share Posted July 25, 2015 Ford engine naming is now just weird. You can start to trace which is which from the Wikipedia pages: EcoBoost, Duratec.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_h Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Ecoboost and the n/a gdi duratec are basically the same size block and head with a few differences to the old duratec. The cam cover is taller though and the fuel pump and vvt solenoids stick up quite high. The engine is a tight fit in a 7 and would need some bulging of the nose and bonnet to go under.

antonio Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Thanks, exactly the kind of informations i was looking for.bulgles look quite awfull but maybe afew extra centimeters can found on sump/ground clearance...ill try to get one engine soon or late and see what can be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_h Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 If you dont mind running a bit close to the ground it may just go under the nose but probably still need a bulge at the back for the fuel pump. The oil filler is tall and would need cutting down. The old 2.3 was tall but people got it in s3 with new mounts. I think sv with csr mounts would be ok. The turbo will hit a rhd column. The metric chassis engine braces should miss but the long braces on a csr or imperial car may be too close. Probably need a new inlet manifold on lhd. If you get one in a 7 I know someone who makes an ECU to run both types rather than trying to get ford stuff to work if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonio Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Sounds interesting indeedi had a look this morning and found some US company that can make Very low profile (shalower?) sump- along with a DS device of course- so definitly a few centimeters to gain ouver the tall std sumpfitting would be in a LHD s3 so turbo/scavenge pump should not make any trouble with steering columni really need to find and look at a bare engine to see how itcan fit.... I have been told that 2 l and 2.3 have the same block/ head...but there is Very little chance to find a affordable 2.3 engine ATM... (I AM also pretty conviced gearbox would never deal with the torque/ power delivery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonio Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Doesnt the fuel pump can be replace by a remote electric fuel pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_h Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 2.3 had a taller block than 2.0 hence the mounts. This, I think, has a block same height as 2.0 with a taller head that ends up overall roughly the height of a 2.3. You can't remove the cam driven high pressure pump, it uses that for the gdi injection and it also needs a high pressure electric pump in tank.

mic Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 2.3 engine fits an S3 with standard 2.0lt mounts. The 2.0 eco boost does not give lots of extra power easily, its seems its not nearly as strong as the Duratec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanns Per Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 anyone looked into the 1.6 Ecoboost and how this one would fit in a S3 or SV or CSR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
