What about the RS engine? I know it's based on the eco Mustang, but it should be more compatible with the ST than the Mustang version?

They are the same engine. The only difference is the oil pan. The RS did not get a special engine.

U can get a full escape 2.0 motor turbo and all for about 1k. I got mine on ebay from a escape 2015 that was totaled after 648 miles . Rear ended just make sure to run vin and look at mileage . Then my 2014 totaled so got 2017 .now gonna send motor to get stage 3 long done .

@scoyle2998 Just wanted to verify that the Escape motor 2015 and older has the same 2.0 completed long block, valve cover to oil pan, as the ST. Minus the oil cooler, turbo etc..... the things that need to be swapped out.

My sons motor blew and I am needing a replacement, just don't want to buy a motor that isn't going to work.

Thanks in advance

Any 2.0L Ecoboost from 2012 up will work except for as Si stated the updated Ecoboost in the MKC, etc all have a twin scroll turbo and other differences that don't make it a direct swap.

I bought a 2016 Ecoboost from a Fusion for $550 minus the turbo. Unless you have major engine damage your turbo survived. However I will say this is an excellent time to upgrade the turbo and upgrade the clutch to match the added power.

The turbo was upgraded on my car at the same time the new engine was installed, much, much easier that way. I am not even using the ST oil cooler at the moment and it's fine.

Cool thanks for the reply. The junkyards that are selling used 2.0L motors are telling me that the 2015 and older Escapes with EcoBoost are not compatible with the 2014 ST.

For instance this one https://spaldings.hollanderstores.com/used-auto-parts/2014/ford/escape/engine/300-engine-assembly/300-09153-2.0l-(vin-9,-8th-digit,-turbo)/part-4255063-2303-1

Just wanted to reverify before I pulled the trigger on one of these ecoboosts

These all fit. Cheapest option will be the fusion.

How would they even know they just pull parts from cars....

ST engines will be more expensive.

Request the part you want, no need to ask them any questions other than if it comes with the turbo or not and maybe the mileage. As I said above you don't need the turbo, unless debris made it pass the oil cooler which I doubt then your old turbo is fine.

The only thing you won't use is the flexplate for the automatic.

The carrier bearing mount for the right axle is different spacing on the automatics, and there are some differences in the non-ST intakes. Both of these are easy to swap off the wounded engine.

They, the junkyards, have a computer program that they must run the vehicle through to see it the engine incompatible. I talked to a ford rep in the parts department and had him cross reference some long block part number and the matched. I think a low milage lincoln might be the way to go as who normal buys lincolns? OLD PEOPLE, and we all know that they not drive fast or hard. I found a 23k MKZ motor.

I was never planning on getting an ST motor as it will have been used and abused, or at least it has a higher possibility.

The reason I was going to use Spaulding was that they are semi close, 4 hours away, I know they compression test all the motors they sell and they give you a 6-month warranty on the motor.

Do most junkyards do this?

I have driven my mothers 2.3 MKC pretty hard when I am in it. Lol! It is a lease so I am not concerned.

@SLSTomper can you please verify that 2016 model year Ford Escapes built before 11/18/2015 are still the correct engine. It still uses the 2.0 cylinder head and turbo.[emoji106][emoji2532][emoji106][emoji2532]

So true. My parents do but that is because Dad works for a dealership and our family owned one for 75 years so we are sticklers for proper maint.

2016 MY escapes built before 11/18/2015 still use the 2.0 ecoboost single scroll.[emoji106][emoji2532][emoji106][emoji2532]

So anything before 11/18/15 should be good.

Yes 11/18/15 seems to be the date.

 

[Madmax750]

has no one tried to fit the twin scroll in the st ,or is it no go ? , one thing on the Lincolns is they`re probably driven too slow ,lots of very short trips ,never fully warmed up ,and ****ty walmart gas lol ,+ i`am not sure if auto`s suffer from lspi or not just thoughts

 

[Mmcjuicybear]

So all 2.0 regardless of what model it is in built before 11/18/15 would work with a 2013 st?
