2.3L EcoBoost
>
Features
Performance/Handling
310 horsepower @ 5500 rpm
350 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3000 rpm
Overboost feature added to increase torque output
Delivers a broad, flat torque curve with maximum torque
through the powerband for sustained acceleration
Aluminum engine block and cylinder head help reduce weight to
aid operating efficiency
High-pressure die-cast aluminum block with ladder-frame
bearing caps is strong, yet lightweight
Dual overhead camshaft (DOHC), lightweight aluminum
cylinder head with 4 valves per cylinder
New electronic throttle body
Compression ratio of 9.5:1
Over 20 psi of boost available
Switchable engine mounts that provide 2 modes of operation —
driving mode and idle mode — controlled by the engine control
module (ECM) through a vacuum switch
In driving mode, the mounts deliver high damping and high
‒
dynamic rates required for secondary ride/shake
In idle mode, the mounts deliver the softer dynamic rates
‒
required for vibration isolation
Intercooler reduces incoming air temperature
Integrated exhaust manifold places the turbocharger closer to the exhaust ports for enhanced responsiveness
Balance shaft provides smooth operation at all speeds
Split cooling system with 2 thermostats manages coolant flow during cold start, only allowing flow through the hot side of the cylinder head
and integrated manifold until the coolant has reached 72 degrees F
Die-cast aluminum deep-sump oil pan
Internal baffle system helps maintain oil delivery during spirited driving
‒
Optimized oil pan capacity to provide up to 1-year/10,000-mile oil change intervals
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor
Gasoline direct-injection
Aggressive deceleration fuel shutoff (ADFSO)
Smart charging alternator
Uses a timing chain
Organic Acid Technology (OAT) engine coolant
Paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift capability and paddle shifter

ENGINEERING INSIGHT: Air Induction System
What It Is
Unique air box induction system is standard on all Mustang engines
The air filter is isolated from the engine compartment and allows the intake to "breathe in" cooler air from outside
How It Works
By taking in cooler air, the intake charge can be combined with more fuel than it can with warmer air
