Ecoboost swap


Recommended Posts

IIRC Several Ecoboost platforms have suffered from cooling issues ranging from minor things like oversized intercoolers to major overheating(Explorers/transits tended to grenade themselves and catch fire?). Carbon buildup fouling exhaust sensors is apparently a problem in most earlier engines leading to emissions system issues. The whole range burns oil, which has lead to several documented failures from lubrication issues(truth be told these were at the owner's fault for running the car dry, but still a potential problem for a used longblock buyer). The 2.3 in the Focus RS tends to blow headgaskets.  

I think what he means to say is that you should be very careful buying any used Ecoboost engine that didn't come from a crash and to check what model car it was sourced from, given the track record over various Ford platforms has been less than spectacular.
