Brightonuk Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 The supercharging seemed to be the wrong way to go with an engine that was 18 years old so I am looking at this for a swap.http://www.fordracingbyspeedshopdirect.com/2018_2_3L_Mustang_Ecoboost_Crate_Engine_p/m-6007-23ta.htmMine will be a used motor with 15K on it (Drop in with the engine wiring harness)I have been told the donor car is complete but via a 3rd party reseller so if I need any other parts I should be able to get them from the seller My issue is as this will be my first attempt at a swap what other accessories will I need beside the "control pack" and a "return style fuel system" (what ever that is)Any pointers on what issues I may run into should I go for a 2.0 turbo instead?http://www.fordracingbyspeedshopdirect.com/2_0L_I_4_ECO_BOOST_CRATE_ENGINE_KIT_p/m-6007-20t.htmAlso available used with low mileage.The guy is asking $2500 for the 2.0 and $2700 for the 2.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Neither of those two are Zetec, there Duratec I4's.....There are a few memebers who have fitted the 1.6 ECO Boost in a 7 with good results from a crate motor with hybrid turbo and remapped ECU.

rj Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 And you don't want the lag of an ordinary old school turbo in a car as light as the Seven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 you wont get old skool lag with these even in stock form as these are not purely mechanical turbos these are more akin to the turbos on modern diesels with ETA's and variable geometry on the exhaust vanes, couple this with variable cam timing and direct injection..........

Molecular--Bob Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 You will snap your diff mounts and melt your gearbox, the torque is close to v8 levels and a type 9 will just not cope. Not sure anything strong enough will fit in the tunnel. Not sure if a t5 is viable on size grounds, but could be strong enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightonuk Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Did not want to go for an aftermarket turbo I would rather have a "Plug and Play set up (hopefully less headaches)The gear box was a concern I will see what gear box is attached to the donor 2.0 and try to find if it will fit the tunnel if not............. back here to look for suggestions or scrap this idea and start over I am not looking to build an insanely fast track car, this is a daily driver with weekend track fun so the 2.0 seems more than enough and I save a few bucks. I have been trying to educate myself on the complexities of this undertaking and don't want to get started only to find I am hopelessly lost, that is another reason I would prefer a drop in motor.Installing the engine I am confident I can do it is just the electronics (what do I need) that is my concern.ECU mapping??Return style fuel system???And the wiring*confused*I will wait to see if I get any more responses on L7C and if the general consensus is this ain't that difficult and this is a wise choice will pull the trigger on the engine on Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
