Ford Efficiency Equipment Provides Horsepower, Torque to Base EcoBoost Engine

Ford Efficiency has gotten its blue-oval-shaped fingers on the Bronco’s four-cylinder EcoBoost engine. The in-house tuner is giving the engine a 30 horsepower and 60 lb-ft of torque bump over the usual engine. That brings the numbers to 330 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque out of the two.3-liter 4 popper.

The proprietor can solely obtain these numbers in the event that they use premium gasoline, which is a small value to pay. Even within the base Bronco, for those who use common gasoline the horsepower quantity drops to 275. To place that energy output in perspective, the two.7-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 within the Bronco places out the identical 330 horsepower, however makes 415 lb-ft of torque.

In line with Ford, the tune doesn’t simply give the Bronco extra energy. There are a slew of different little upgrades as nicely. The corporate says there’s improved throttle response all through the rev vary, and shift factors have been modified within the 10-speed automated transmission. If the proprietor chooses God’s transmission (a 7-speed guide), the bundle will give them down-shift rev matching, which is all the time good if heel-toeing is a bit annoying for the proprietor.

The bundle additionally offers homeowners the choice to suit the large 37×12.5R17 BFGoodrich K02 tires from the Bronco Raptor to their car. On high of that, the bundle bumps to the axle ration as much as 4.70.

The value of all this tuned goodness? Not too shabby for those who ask me. It’ll value the proprietor $825, however because it’s a Ford manufacturing unit half, it’ll be fully below a three-year, 36,000-mile guarantee.

The tune is 49-state authorized. Guess which one it’s not authorized in. That’s proper! California. Properly, form of. There’s a little bit of a catch. It’s not accredited for brand spanking new 2022 fashions, however for those who purchase a used 2021 Bronco, you’ll be proper as rain.

So, if you wish to purchase or already personal a Bronco however really feel that 300 horsepower isn’t fairly sufficient to lug the large bruiser round, you’re now in luck. Glad tailgating.
