This is known as blow-by, and some amount of blow-by is natural for an engine, especially a turbocharged engine. There is a pressure stabilization component called the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system, that regulates the air pressure in your crankcase.
“We only had a chance to experience the 2.7-liter EcoBoost out on the road, though the 2.3-liter felt more than adequate for off-road duties.”-CarBuzz “I didn't get the chance to drive the I4 on the street, but thanks in part to smart gearing, the smaller engine offered plenty of oomph on the trails.” -CNet
The 2.3 is direct injected only which means over time the intake manifold will get caked with gunk and need to be cleaned out or power will start to fade. Not a huge problem but definitely a bit higher maintenance. It can be somewhat avoided or slowed down by using a catch can. The 2.7L is port + direct injected so that gunk mixes into fuel and ...
The old 2.3 Lima engine in Pintos,Mustangs and Rangers has nothing in common with 2.3 Eco boost except displacement. I will say both engines proved to be reliable however. Sponsored
I saw that the 2.3 EcoBoost has Gasoline Direct Injection, instead of a combination of port and GDI. The 2.3 is the engine that I plan to get on the Bronco. With that said, how do you clean the carbon buildup on the valves on a 2.3? Do you put higher octane gas?
310 hp at 5,500 rpm, 320-350 lb-ft at 3,000 rpm. Application: Ford Mustang EcoBoost engine. Power output depends on type of fuel. 350 hp at 6,000 rpm, 350 lb-ft at 3,200 rpm. Application: Ford Focus RS engine specs. This version is also used in the Zenos E10 R. 385 hp at 6,000 rpm, 369 lb-ft at 3,200 rpm.
I know the 2.3 EB is a 4 cylinder and that gets people nervous that grew up with V8s but, the engine has plenty of power. The 2.3 is more powerful than any stock V8 that came in a Bronco before, has better transmission ratios (both manual and 10 speed), and has modern engine management that can adjust detonation, air fuel etc.
Gathering info for a 2.3 EB swap. Hello everyone. I am a definite noob to the EB world and the "forced induction" world in general. I have owned and worked on Fords most of my married life. My 2.3l experience is mainly the old Ranger 2.3l Duratec and an even older 2.3l Lima (still running with almost 300k miles but very tired).
While raising the overall performance of the engine, they are also capable of : 433 lb.ft. TQ at 3,500 RPM (2.7L) 355 HP at 5,500 RPM (2.7L) (Waiting on 2.3L increases from Ford Performance to Update)
I’ll go with the 2.7 price-allowing, (if it comes to 2.3 bronco vs blowing out my budget, I’ll rock the 2.3), I’ve got the first gen 2.7 engine in my f-150 and it’s been a great angry sewing machine, and faster than a stock crew cab 4x4 has any right to be.
