Gen 1 versus Gen 2 EcoBoost 2.3 Rod and Piston Comparison!!

Hey everyone, in this video we break down the differences between the first and second generations of the EcoBoost 2.3 engine internals, namely the rod and piston. There are both pros and cons with the new parts, but we think it is mostly positive and should support some really nice stock bottom-end power numbers! As always, like and subscribe to follow along on our journey with the new s650 Mustang and the Gen 2 2.3 EcoBoost engine!

Id love to see more videos like this especially about the 2nd gen 2.3 . Very informative but to the point. I love watching content like this.

We plan to do a follow up of the entire engine being torn down!

If I were limited to factory redline I would increase the stroke also. They also increased the stroke for detonation tolerance.

Nice video! I’m going to say that the cooling gallery and associated oil inlet and outlet are likely as-cast features and not friction welded, since this is an Aluminum piston.

[@engineeredmotorsportsolutions]

Yeah, after shooting this I realized it was likely a salt ring cast.

[@Gradeau]

@@engineeredmotorsportsolutions You’re forgiven. You worked on steel pistons. :D

Do we know how "new" the S650 Mustang's EcoBoost engine is? Ford lists it as being part of the "Modular Power Cylinder" family, but I can't find much information about this. The revised bore and stroke suggest this is an entirely different design than the outgoing 2.3, which, of course, has Mazda roots.
