Ecoboost into a Mk1 or mk2 escort, has it been done yet ?
I have a 2.3 ecoboost engine going into my Elise and my brother has a 1600 sport sat on the drive doing nothing
As the Ecoboost has the same PCD for the gearbox for the duratec, but different engine mounts, I don't see why it wouldn't fit
But has anyone done this yet
2.0 is 280bhp out the box

sbd motorsport is working on that, but 1.6 L

Ive seen a 385bhp 1.6 ecoboost (just running GDI) which is impressive but they are as heavy as a 2.0 block
They are being phased out as well for a triple 1.5 but plenty around

The new 1.5 three pot is supposed to be something silly like 190bhp or something!

I'm just in process installing 1.6 ecoboost in mk2 looked at 2.o and 2.3 both got balance weights in sump they've got really bad vibration when removed both too tall with them in to fit mk2

the removal of the balancer shafts doesn't make the ecoboost vibrate, well at least it didn't with mine or all the other ST's in the USA that have been removed. Mountune even do a balancer shaft delete kit ;)
Height I didn't think of, I was more worried about the HPFP hitting the bulkhead.
What ECU did you use on the 1.6 ?

Was told a 2.0 ecoboost was put in single seater and it shook it to bits been replaced with 1.6 ,

What flywheel and clutch they using Freddy

Has anyone actually measured the fit issue? Have they looked at the North-South orientation kit from Ford (which includes a new sump)? If someone has a cad file of the engine bay I have access to the engine cad fit files. I am interested in a similar swap. Height and HPFP are always the issues fitting these engines into other bays (for instance Miata or Caterham).

they are using the sigma 1.6/1.7 flywheels and clutches as far as i know
Re: Ecoboost into a Mk1 or mk2 escort, has it been done yet ?
Freddy what would you need to make the adaptor plates, as the 2.0 and 2.3 are basically duratec bolt patterns ?
What about engine mounts ?

i would need a gearbox off a 2.0l/2.3l ecoboost at the least
Re: Ecoboost into a Mk1 or mk2 escort, has it been done yet ?
Its the same, exact PCD as a Duratec.
Have you done an adaptor for this before ?

i haven't sorry as the mx5 boxes bolt straight on to them. but people say the rx8 ratios are better?

New to this forum, and apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but for those interested in the 1.6l EcoBoost conversion in a MK2, check out our video and subscribe to keep up to date with it.
