With a handful of mods MAPerformance was able to get over 500hp out of the stock block of a 2.3l ecoboost motor! Now I can't imagine it would last long running that much boost but it's neat to see.

Here is the current setup on the car:

MAP 5858 turbo kit
MAP cat back with resonators
MAP intercooler
Tuned by yours truly
29psi on pump gas / RaceGas mix

Stock block, stock rods, stock bearings, stock pistons, stock head, stock cams, stock valvetrain.

In 2007 GM got 750hp out of their turbo 2.2L ecotec..........just sayin.

Gm performance went all out on that motor and trans combo - entire manual on what to do to reach those power levels.

This is one of them - not too many willing to put $$ into SHARING the research.

I'm not 100% sure, it depends on what generation ecotec he's running. There was a 2.0, 2.2, and 2.4L version.

500whp out of a 2.3 stock engine is pretty damn impressive. If my math is correct thats 350hp per liter. And i know my math is correct because college algebra and racecar

Not sure if serious....217 hp per Liter is more in line.

Nice numbers though.

From reading about this mustang a little I guess there plan is to just see what the stock internals can take and they will keep pushing it until they blow it. They said they have a built motor waiting to go in once the current one goes boom.

Man it sounds so good. I bet it's a rush to drive. Is it road worthy yet? Would love to see some pulls.

I'd comment but I can't talk to you.

Got to be a K20...

^I think that motor/car combo has been going strong for 2+ years I've been following it.

There's a reason the Ariel Atom has souped up turbocharged Honda K20 and Chevy Ecotec as engine options.


But it is interesting to be part of the growing Ecoboost family of motors too. These 2.3's I can see being monsters. Angry little 4 cylinders ftw.

That car made me buy mine

What a way to make 500hp; by the skin of your teeth. only part of the curve that makes it above 500 is an anomalous blip @ 6200rpms.
