I been overseas for almost a year deployed and decided to buy an 2019 Ecoboost for my first car and appreciate the the information that I was not aware of beforehand. Great quality information and video👌🏽
Very insightful. Thanks for sharing. I've just recently taken an interest in the eco-boost platform (Mustang). So it was great to see your vlog and I'll be doing my homework. ;-)
Great post . One of the best I've heard about the EcoBoost so far. here in Arizona when it gets past 105 that turbo is really irrelevant even with a bigger intercooler. Heat soak is definitely a reality with the Mustang.
Yea when it's hit it gives me anxiety. Best a big intercooler can do is keep air at ambient temp and if it's 110 out you're fucked. Where I'm at when it gets that hot I'll see some negative corrections because I'm just sitting there getti g hotter and it gives me anxiety.
Great video! I just installed a COBB stage 1+ kit for my 2018 Mustang ecoboost. Conservative OTS tune, check; more smiles per miles, check. I fully agree with you brother, you have to do research on forums and reviews before you decide on upgrading your car. As of today, the only other mod I have is a custom catback exhaust (Magnaflow 12268 muffler replacing stock resonator, with 2.5” inlet and outlets, terminating in 4” chrome tips). I don’t romp on it, but wanted to get more out of the platform as it is my daily driver. That said, when I do get into it, I noticed a much more responsive throttle, more turbo noises, and - most importantly much better power distribution throughout the rpm spectrum (2K-redline). Advice? Definitely keep the car in the lower gears when you want to get into it; this was true back in the day (I’m old enough to remember buying gas during the first oil crisis in the. 70s), and still holds true if you want to prevent pre-detonation.
Great video. Only thing I would add is ask questions and those who know just help out don’t be a smartass. It’s super discouraging and rude when people are arrogant when they answer. And always use the search functionality in forum to search your keywords. 90% of what most people ask has probably been posted. I know for one you have been super cool to me over the last year when I have asked a question for that my friend I am thankful.
I just want to say thanks for the video's. I just bought 2018 EcoBoost. And even though I've owned and worked on a 1989 gt. I've never owned a boosted car and honestly I'm completely lost😂😂 but your videos have been super helpful.
Motorcraft SP-542 can be used as a one step colder alternative to the NGK 6510's. I am running a set of 542's right now on a Cobb stage 2 93 without any issues, revs clean to 7k no unusual ignition corrections, also noticed plugs were pre gapped to .028" out of the box when I went to gap them. The SP-542 is the OEM plug for the 400hp Lincoln 3.0 ecoboost.
Great video. I have 31,000 miles on my Tune+ tune and it has been great. The next move for me is to buy a built motor from Adam. I'd love to drive the car for another 15 years.
I think he is a reputable tuner from tune+. Don't quote me completely but i believe he only runs on the cobb ots platform. I run my 16 ecoboost on the SCT platform and my car is FBO on E50 through 5 star.
Great video bro. I'm definitely new to the ecoboost community. Bought my 2018 base, with PP. I have 6500k kms on it so far. I purchased the Tune+ etune and my care is running much better now. In the next couple years my car will be making big #s. I bought this Mustang for that purpose, that's to make big #s eventually :-) Would love to see you post more videos, but no worries there, as this is obviously just a side hobby for you. Regardless i love your content and keep up the quality advise #thumbsUP
Great video. A lot of people tend to rush right over things like spark plugs and a catch can but it really makes a difference in power and reliability whilst making that power as well.
Pretty good advice. I would definitely be weary about buying a second hand EB as well, as an affordable sports car you already know the previous owner ripped it all the time.
Mods doesn't make a driver better. I am not knocking you, your channel is awesome! Guys (and gals) learn to push your cars. My car shouldn't beat 85% of the cars that it does on track days. My car is a BONE STOCK 2019, auto PP. Only mods I have for track day are brake pads and brake fluid. I even run the tires it came with. Mods will (potentially) make lessor drivers "faster" but not better. Learn to drive your car! Push it and master its limits. You will have WAY more fun and all without blowing it up or killing the warranty*.
Thank you for the advice. My '17 has been a great daily so far. I don't plan to do much beyond a MBRP Race Catback and maybe the Ford Racing Intake/flash. Already have the Mishi Catch Can on it. I have my 2012 Coyote for true performance purposes. So, no need to try and push the limits.. This thing is just fun. Handles great, has decent power for a daily and mpg is generally excellent. I'll take your advice and change the plugs often. Would you recommend the one step colder plugs and upgraded intercooler for stock power levels?
Good advice! I have a 2020 ranger ECO 2.3. I use Mobile 1 full syn and Mobile 1 20K filters. I change the oil every 3K and the filter every 9K. I did add the catch can. 16mpg pulling a boat. 20ish driving normal. I run only 91 octane.
i just got a brand new convertible eco boost they jacked my price up thou cause i was a first time buyer 4.99% apr 32,000 out the door with price of loan but i had no co signer and no credit my plan is to pay down the loan to market value of the vehicle trade it in and upgrade, it was a fleet vehicle only had 31,000 miles so im not to concerned about spark plugs and oil and im excited to learn more about cars in general thanks for this advice !!!
I came late to the game but, thanks bro! Great tips!. Just got a 2020 ecoboost premium standard. . Got the catch can on order. Will check on the cooler. Thank you!
Canadian here - my 16 ecoboost premium has 90.000km bought used at 30.000km. Has been problem free ever since... no problem with sensores, sparkplugs, could whatsoever.... extremely reliable
Thank you for the video. Some good advice in there. Funny from a european standpoint to call a 2.3l turbocharged engine "small". It's actually one of the bigger turbocharged engines here. :) Most turbo engines here are anywhere between 1.0 liters (Ford) and 1.6 liters. 18 mpg translates to 13 liters per 100 kilometers. That's how much I needed with the V8 when I drove one for a couple of hours. In my daily EcoBoost Mustang I need about 9.5 l/100km average (that's about 25 mpg). But then again it's much cooler here in central europe than in Florida and I don't have the A/C running all the time. (also I drive "like a sane person" :D) As for the Intercooler: Do you recommend getting a large one like you have in your eco or is a slightly bigger/more efficient one like the Mishimoto enough? Or maybe the bigger EVO2 ones?
Bro we appreciate all the info and content that u pass pur way , I live in Wildwood Florida had mustangs all my life since first 1992 gt from sunstate ford in Orlando and i can tell u that this new 2019 ecoboost mustang is awesome going to do a Sct 93 octane today they claim 86 hp and 71 tq ? ✌
Almost bought a eb mustang ended up with a 18 focus st and it’s been very fun. The decision was insurance was about 100 less a month for the focus and for a daily commute car it’s pretty fun
Wow thank you so so much for this information! I’m a 28f & not too knowledgeable about cars, but you helped tremendously!! I’m thinking about buying an ecoboost soon, what tires do your recommended? ☺️🙏🏻
I got one used but I work at the dealership in IT. It has a great carfax, one owner, and maintenance every 6 months at a Ford dealer. I went for it and I wouldnt change a thing but I also got it serviced before I took ownership
Same bought mine last month but have gotten talked down 3x already, I own a 14’ GT so doesn’t bother much but everybody thinks you’re a pussy if you drive one of these
As an Ecoboost Owner, I approve of this warning. I've blown my rod red lining. Blow off valve in shows, never drive with it off and redlining thats how u blow it.
Great video! UGH I can't BELIEVE you got a new mustang for 28k I'm looking at a 2020 convertible with 20k miles for $36k 😭 The interesting thing is that it was a RENTAL car! It's in great interior shape and it's stood up well to the rental abuse so that's good. Engine hasn't blown up so that's good lmao. It has a bumper to bump warranty for another.... year or 10k miles.
You mention down the line that the new Coyote I’d direct injection. Yes, but it will also have port injection that will help clean the valves. Smart on Ford’s part, and shows they want to do right by their customers.
I agree with building a 2.0 I’m about to build my 19 , I’m going to build the heads leave the bottom how it is maybe rods. I’ll probably find as many 2.0 blocks as I can. Here in Ocala so that should not be hard to find around here.
Sup from Tampa, dude. This video is pretty much exactly what I was looking for right now. I bought a used 6sp 15' Ecoboost last year, and I wanted to spend some time with it stock before deciding to start playing with it a little. A lot of that was because I wanted to give the aftermarket some more time to figure out the quirks of what I presumed to be a somewhat finicky motor (being a boosted 4 ofc). I'm not looking for crazy power, so I'm probably doing basic bolt-ons. Considering the Ford Performance tune kit that comes with the GT350 intake and tune, but I'm not sure if I'd be blowing too much $$$ when I can get similar performance and RELIABILITY from somewhere else. Any suggestions? Thanks for the vid, man!
I’m getting my first car in about 3 weeks and I’m thinking about getting a 2021 Ecoboost and also happen to live in Florida but I don’t know how to change the intercooler what should I do about that?
I got my for 27,000 OTD, with 10k down (after, so 17k owed). It’s a great entry level sport/muscle car. Wouldn’t really consider the ecoboost a muscle car though lol, but I still love mine.
@@michaelacciari2559 It was a great car, plenty of fun. I sold it because I wanted a GT before I bought the Eco but couldn’t afford it. I would definitely recommend it for those who don’t have the money or don’t really want to jump into something crazy right off the bat. Put an aftermarket exhaust and maybe a tune and it’ll definitely make you happy.
Hey man, been following you since the start and am still loving the content! I am currently deciding on getting a GT or an ecoboost. Thank you especially for the information on swapping for a 2.0l enginge for making power (I have not been able to find this info anywhere on yt just yet). Much love from Germany and keep up the good work!
The ecoboost has come a long way but you’ll never have the GT potential. A boosted Coyote is violent, I am at 727HP from a roush kit with potential for much more. Depending on what your looking obviously is key, if its power, just get the Coyote and enjoy
Yep couldn’t agree more I’ve own my eco for almost 7 yrs, had it since HS days and now looking to get a new GT. The eco is a fun car and good for someone just getting into a sports car but doesn’t have the same spirit as a GT ,
question, can the ford dealership handle all the problems, inspections for a casual driver? or do you need to look for another mechanic to ensure everything is ok with the car?
Mine reminds me of my old Porsche 944 turbo. Not the fastest thing around but man it handles and is super fun all while getting mileage I need for my commute. You wanna go faster....just know you're going to have to pay to play. Period.
If you have the funds the 5.0 is the way to go....but if you are into 4 bangers you will not be disappointed especially with the new High performance EB plus used 15 and 16 5.0’s can be bought for pretty cheap now, everyone I know who bought a EB eventually traded in for a GT within a year or two but everyone is different amazing time to be a car enthusiast for sure lol
AKAT1980 I actually own a 10 speed 18 GT lol and it ticks like a mother, I have a video of it.... I’m not really worried about it I have my warranty and hey the A/C blows strong and cold she pulls like a damn freight train 🚂 just going to keep sending it till she goes 🤷🏻♂️
I drove an EcoBoost for 3 year before upgrading to at GT. The turbo went out at 10K miles. Granted I lease my cars so I didn take care of my car like I would if I owned it. I had other problems but nothing too crazy after the turbo.
Why wouldn’t you take care of your car ? Leased or not some people are retarded doing oil changes every 15,000 miles on a leased car only leaving problems for the next owner .
@@ggisold Yeah I know! The GT didn't last long either. The short block went out at 19k miles. I sold it 2 year in to the 3 lease making a good profit as the car was never the same . Now I am in a 2022 RedEye. I definitely learned my lesson and I'm taking care of this car😂
@@ggisold The GT was about 585 with 2K down. I ended up getting $10,200 when I sold it do to lack of inventory conditions. Yes the RedEye is a lease as well. I waited months for it, but it's by far my favorite car I've owned.
Not sure if you still go through your old comments but I have a 21 Ford Ranger with a 2.3 eco boost Should I get the 6510 NGK plugs for them and change them out at 15K I'm currently a little past 15k And would rather do preventative maintenance I do give it the beans every once in a while
I run autolite plugs regapped at .028....seem to run good..better then the ngks and they are lasting longer....im trying to build a better engine...thinking of swapping with the 2.3l disi turbo mazda block cause the reinforced cylinder walls but cant find any info about that .
Man I’ve been look at a nice track /daily and the cohost might be the top of the list with the weight rwd turbo . I currently drive AUDI and VW . I was looking at f80 m3 crank bolt , then their the m340 and m240 the weight 3900 lb with the 350hp guessing same as eco boost 😅. I like the new car because power per $ . Also the v8 m3 very close to the eco boost .
ill come to say i dont get the hate on the ecoboost i bought one last march. originally i was just looking for a reliable daily ill admit im a bit guilty ordering spark plugs now along with the purge valve hoping in a few months ill upgrade the intercooler. Any in particular you would recommend as im from texas so its hot lmao.
Okay, I have a 2018 ecoboost mustang 6 speed manual. Stock besides a MAPerformance intake. My buddy wants to tune it, what do you suggest or anybody suggest. I’m timid with this shit blowing the engine
Hey man, I have $1000 I am willing to put into my stock 2015 ecoboost premium. I have 36k miles and I'm ready for some performance gainz. I have been doing a lot of research and I think I know what I would get, but I would love to hear what you would get for $1000 on a stock ecoboost. Thanks man, love the vids!
I got my 2020 mustang ecoboost premium pre-owned with 24,000 miles car price was 23,999$ after the taxes and fees car price was 26,000$ then with the finance car price was 30k. It was my first car do you think I overplayed for it? My goal is to pay it off in 3 years and upgrading to a GT or shelby.
My price was about the same for a 2015 premium with 25,000mi. Because of Covid and the current trouble manufacturers are having it’s a pretty good price. 26k out the door would’ve been the best ideal price but it is what it is rn.
I just bought a 2015 ecoboost back in September and the car has been flawless until recently. I drove to work one day with no issues, parked and shut the car off, about 20 mins later I started it again to move to a different parking space....it started sputtering and stalled out just as I pulled in to the space. Immediately tried restarting it and it would crank but not start. A friend of mine first suggested changing the fuel pump control module which I did a couple days later. The car started right up and sat there and idled just fine but as soon as I tried to drive away it died again. I ultimately had to have it towed home where I could diagnose it better. I checked everything leading up to the fuel pump and it all checks out good. I don’t hear any sound from the pump when I push the clutch in. The car only has 54k on it....could the fuel pump be bad already? I have a new pump ordered so I guess I’ll know soon enough but has anyone else experienced a fuel pump failure so early on? Anything else I should check? I’ve gone over all the fuses, relays, the clutch safety switches.....everything I can think of. I went ahead and ordered a new low fuel pressure sensor while I was at it too cause I heard that was an issue with these engines.
I’m gonna be getting an automatic ecoboost soon and I don’t want to do anything crazy mod wise I’m gonna try and keep it stock. I’m new to the mustang world, I’m just now learning about ecoboom and I’m scared. Should I be worried?
How is it going? I know this is an old post but if you are not on the track or adding crazy mods you should be fine. How is the car treating you? I just got mine about a year ago also.
He made a video already explaining that you lose hp with pretty much all intakes for these cars. The stock air box with a drop in filter gives the best results.
@@serenityinsilence What is the best Drop in Filter to use? K & N maybe? And also I heard that the stock box is also the best but lets say I don't care about adding HP I just dont want to loose HP will with C&L CAI give at least the same performance?
I been overseas for almost a year deployed and decided to buy an 2019 Ecoboost for my first car and appreciate the the information that I was not aware of beforehand. Great quality information and video👌🏽

A lot of that was because I wanted to give the aftermarket some more time to figure out the quirks of what I presumed to be a somewhat finicky motor (being a boosted 4 ofc). I'm not looking for crazy power, so I'm probably doing basic bolt-ons. Considering the Ford Performance tune kit that comes with the GT350 intake and tune, but I'm not sure if I'd be blowing too much $$$ when I can get similar performance and RELIABILITY from somewhere else. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the vid, man!
Great video, any more info you can share? Maybe a pt. 2?
Just bought a 2020 kona blue EcoBoost premium with the black accent package waiting on delivery going to keep it stock for awhile
Thank you very much!
I heard some storyes about this ecoboom thing,so if i will dont modify the mustang it will be ok?
I average about 28mpg I don’t drive crazy at all (unless someone doesn’t let me merge or change lanes) I drive mostly highway as well.
I’m getting my first car in about 3 weeks and I’m thinking about getting a 2021 Ecoboost and also happen to live in Florida but I don’t know how to change the intercooler what should I do about that?
I got my for 27,000 OTD, with 10k down (after, so 17k owed). It’s a great entry level sport/muscle car. Wouldn’t really consider the ecoboost a muscle car though lol, but I still love mine.
How many miles and location?
@@davidvallejo6624 I bought it with around 15k miles in Alabama. Sold it earlier this year for 25k with about 30k miles.
how was ur experience with ur eco boost and whyd you sell? i’m really considering buying an eco boost as my first sports car
@@michaelacciari2559 It was a great car, plenty of fun. I sold it because I wanted a GT before I bought the Eco but couldn’t afford it. I would definitely recommend it for those who don’t have the money or don’t really want to jump into something crazy right off the bat. Put an aftermarket exhaust and maybe a tune and it’ll definitely make you happy.
Good stuff; thanks for sharing. Big thumbs-up!
Hey man, been following you since the start and am still loving the content!
I am currently deciding on getting a GT or an ecoboost. Thank you especially for the information on swapping for a 2.0l enginge for making power (I have not been able to find this info anywhere on yt just yet).
Much love from Germany and keep up the good work!
Maximilian Müller appreciate all the kind words!
The ecoboost has come a long way but you’ll never have the GT potential. A boosted Coyote is violent, I am at 727HP from a roush kit with potential for much more. Depending on what your looking obviously is key, if its power, just get the Coyote and enjoy
Yep couldn’t agree more I’ve own my eco for almost 7 yrs, had it since HS days and now looking to get a new GT. The eco is a fun car and good for someone just getting into a sports car but doesn’t have the same spirit as a GT ,
question, can the ford dealership handle all the problems, inspections for a casual driver? or do you need to look for another mechanic to ensure everything is ok with the car?
Thanks for talking about the ecoboom crazies. It's not that common.
yeah its really not common at all
Mine reminds me of my old Porsche 944 turbo. Not the fastest thing around but man it handles and is super fun all while getting mileage I need for my commute. You wanna go faster....just know you're going to have to pay to play. Period.
Love my Ecoboost.
If you have the funds the 5.0 is the way to go....but if you are into 4 bangers you will not be disappointed especially with the new High performance EB plus used 15 and 16 5.0’s can be bought for pretty cheap now, everyone I know who bought a EB eventually traded in for a GT within a year or two but everyone is different amazing time to be a car enthusiast for sure lol
AKAT1980 I actually own a 10 speed 18 GT lol and it ticks like a mother, I have a video of it.... I’m not really worried about it I have my warranty and hey the A/C blows strong and cold she pulls like a damn freight train 🚂 just going to keep sending it till she goes 🤷🏻♂️
Ive got sorta biggish turbo and E85. Car never misses a beat. Lol. Think its time to change the spark plugs though
Thanks!
which oils would you recommend for the engine and gearbox? (2017 EB 37k miles)
Liqui Moly?
I drove an EcoBoost for 3 year before upgrading to at GT. The turbo went out at 10K miles. Granted I lease my cars so I didn take care of my car like I would if I owned it. I had other problems but nothing too crazy after the turbo.
Why wouldn’t you take care of your car ? Leased or not some people are retarded doing oil changes every 15,000 miles on a leased car only leaving problems for the next owner .
Lmao that’s u beating tf out the car 😂 mine got 52k now and turbo completely fine
@@ggisold Yeah I know! The GT didn't last long either. The short block went out at 19k miles. I sold it 2 year in to the 3 lease making a good profit as the car was never the same . Now I am in a 2022 RedEye. I definitely learned my lesson and I'm taking care of this car😂
@@christopherreggie9803 how much was the gt lease and u leasing the red eye ?
@@ggisold The GT was about 585 with 2K down. I ended up getting $10,200 when I sold it do to lack of inventory conditions. Yes the RedEye is a lease as well. I waited months for it, but it's by far my favorite car I've owned.
Not sure if you still go through your old comments but I have a 21 Ford Ranger with a 2.3 eco boost Should I get the 6510 NGK plugs for them and change them out at 15K I'm currently a little past 15k And would rather do preventative maintenance I do give it the beans every once in a while
I run autolite plugs regapped at .028....seem to run good..better then the ngks and they are lasting longer....im trying to build a better engine...thinking of swapping with the 2.3l disi turbo mazda block cause the reinforced cylinder walls but cant find any info about that .
Man I’ve been look at a nice track /daily and the cohost might be the top of the list with the weight rwd turbo . I currently drive AUDI and VW . I was looking at f80 m3 crank bolt , then their the m340 and m240 the weight 3900 lb with the 350hp guessing same as eco boost 😅. I like the new car because power per $ . Also the v8 m3 very close to the eco boost .
ill come to say i dont get the hate on the ecoboost i bought one last march. originally i was just looking for a reliable daily ill admit im a bit guilty ordering spark plugs now along with the purge valve hoping in a few months ill upgrade the intercooler. Any in particular you would recommend as im from texas so its hot lmao.
I always hang around 20 MPG but it usually bounces from like 18-22MPG
" I just send it " 😁
same mine is velocity blue wbu
Are mods like changing the exhaust or the intake affecting the eco boost engine?
Thanks
@Watch My Eco does the Ford Factory Oil support API or Low Speed Pre-Ignition? Need and Answer ASAP!!!
Just got approved for 2018 GT and EcoBoost and a GT 27000 EcoBoost 25000 premium
StrangerThings Upside Down go with GT
I can squeeze like 34 mpg if I go 55mph on highway. But normal usually 22 with spirited driving
thats actually very good lol. My friends with camrys say that's their MPG
@@MahdiTohidi1 since I’ve been doing some upgrades, I can now squeeze about 28ish highway
@@gilsgarageofficial What mods?
@@ImperfectCell101
Intercooler
1 colder plugs
Upgraded wastegate actuator
Go fast bits BOV/recirculating
Charge pipes
3” catless DP
3” catless back exhaust
Air raid intake
Custome tune by stratifiedauto
DOPEGIL what power you end up making eith that?
Your getting really swole Zack. Way to stay in that pump life. Also your videos are great. Hope your doing well in Florida
Thanks man! Hope you’re doing well too!
Okay, I have a 2018 ecoboost mustang 6 speed manual. Stock besides a MAPerformance intake. My buddy wants to tune it, what do you suggest or anybody suggest. I’m timid with this shit blowing the engine
I get 27 for mixed driving. I’m not heavy on the foot though.
Beard on fleek
How many people have problems with the engines that modified them versus unmodified engines?
Would an EB2.7TT from a fusion sport be swappable into the mustang? I know it’s AWD.
Hey man, I have $1000 I am willing to put into my stock 2015 ecoboost premium. I have 36k miles and I'm ready for some performance gainz. I have been doing a lot of research and I think I know what I would get, but I would love to hear what you would get for $1000 on a stock ecoboost. Thanks man, love the vids!
Intercooler tune
I got my 2020 mustang ecoboost premium pre-owned with 24,000 miles car price was 23,999$ after the taxes and fees car price was 26,000$ then with the finance car price was 30k. It was my first car do you think I overplayed for it? My goal is to pay it off in 3 years and upgrading to a GT or shelby.
My price was about the same for a 2015 premium with 25,000mi. Because of Covid and the current trouble manufacturers are having it’s a pretty good price. 26k out the door would’ve been the best ideal price but it is what it is rn.
What if you keep your car bone stock? Do you need to upgrade the inter-cooler? (as example)
No, you'll be fine. I'm a Focus ST owner with the same heatsoak concerns. You'll only have a problem with heatsoak if you're on the track.
" i just send it "
for performance tune will give an ego boost 350 horsepower and 426 pounds feet of torque if they have a pro pack one with hey 355 rear end.
My boost psi says like tops 50 and idling 15, it’s not right... vacumm leak?
I just bought a 2015 ecoboost back in September and the car has been flawless until recently. I drove to work one day with no issues, parked and shut the car off, about 20 mins later I started it again to move to a different parking space....it started sputtering and stalled out just as I pulled in to the space. Immediately tried restarting it and it would crank but not start. A friend of mine first suggested changing the fuel pump control module which I did a couple days later. The car started right up and sat there and idled just fine but as soon as I tried to drive away it died again. I ultimately had to have it towed home where I could diagnose it better. I checked everything leading up to the fuel pump and it all checks out good. I don’t hear any sound from the pump when I push the clutch in. The car only has 54k on it....could the fuel pump be bad already? I have a new pump ordered so I guess I’ll know soon enough but has anyone else experienced a fuel pump failure so early on? Anything else I should check? I’ve gone over all the fuses, relays, the clutch safety switches.....everything I can think of. I went ahead and ordered a new low fuel pressure sensor while I was at it too cause I heard that was an issue with these engines.
Jason Moore make sure there’s gas in the tank
PCV valve failing, i’ve had the same issue
I would’ve said injectors but pcv could very well be it, n/A motors not the biggest deal but turbo motor depends on vacuum to be right
I’m gonna be getting an automatic ecoboost soon and I don’t want to do anything crazy mod wise I’m gonna try and keep it stock. I’m new to the mustang world, I’m just now learning about ecoboom and I’m scared. Should I be worried?
How is it going? I know this is an old post but if you are not on the track or adding crazy mods you should be fine. How is the car treating you? I just got mine about a year ago also.
I've been wondering is it possible to reduce to eco weight to 2800 pounds with carbon doors hood and trunk stripped?
GTFREAK anything is possible with enough money
I have 6K miles EcoBoost i am the first owner, i am considering the M-9603-M4C Ford Performance Pack, do you recommend it?
mohamed fayad if you want to keep warranty then yes
mohamed fayad Where do you purchase the Ford tune at?
I just want to drive it normal--That's it! So if I drive it normal, would that be less risks of blowing out the engine?
I just got a 2015 mustang eco boost two weeks old and the stupid Reservoir Cap broke tried looking and forums and no dice any advice
That’s odd...never had that issue before
I've never heard of anybody getting 35mpg out of an ecoboost I gotta say
It’s possible. Not easy though
I've gotten close to 38.. 6th gear 2k rpm around 70-75mph on hwy
I routinely get 35+ mpg at 70 mph. I've seen as high as 40.7, at 65 mph. Mine is a base 2018, with the A10 and 3.15 gears, the best combo. for mpg.
2021 Ecoboost 34 plus hwy. sometimes hwy. 38/per mile at 70 to 75
Recommendation of cai brand, safest tune to run? Best spark plug to use for stock engine? Help help help!!!
^^^^
He made a video already explaining that you lose hp with pretty much all intakes for these cars. The stock air box with a drop in filter gives the best results.
@@serenityinsilence What is the best Drop in Filter to use? K & N maybe? And also I heard that the stock box is also the best but lets say I don't care about adding HP I just dont want to loose HP will with C&L CAI give at least the same performance?
i got my ecoboost two weeks ago for 14k clean tittle and in like new condition. 2017 with 62k miles :)
