Hello from Full-Race

[Full-Race Geoff]

hello, my names Geoff Raicer, im the lead engineer for Full-Race.com and oversee new product development here.  Lately my primary focus has been ecoboost turbo development.  Ive been a lurker for a while but will contribute more, hopefully this site  becomes the place for ecoboost enthusiasts in all types of vehicles!  The admin/mod here Mike B "4drhtrd" is a great guy ive become friends with over the last year and excited to see what can be done with these engines. 

We have some audacious plans for the 2.0L as well as the 3.5L and will be sure to put build threads up as the next round of work is done.  Our big project is a 2014 Fusion that will be in Ford's SEMA booth this year... if the admin is OK we will put up the build thread here

Maybe under General Category/Vehicle Build Topics, or Vehicle Specific/Fusion?  would be cool to see your SEMA build  :biggrin:

Fancy seeing you here Geoff!  I have bought all kinds of Full-Race goodies back in the day when I was building my EF.  I can vouch for the amazing quality of their products.  I am actually getting ready to blow the dust off my EF and swap in a new F-R EF track bar and radiator to ditch the stuff I build years ago. 

I just joined today but welcome!

 

[Full-Race Geoff]

thanks guys EBPF is off to a great start

so what is your favorite motor of the bunch and why?

 

[DJE624]

The 3.5 of course! (I'm biased)  It is the original Ecoboost, full of raw power stock and a great deal of potential.

Torrie has a Focus ST  that he has been tuning and modifying.  Seems to be lots of potential in the 2.0 EcoBoost motor. 

Wish someone would stuff a EB 3.5 in a new Fusion or MKZ!  That would be unbelieveable!

We are building this 2014 fusion so ive been coming up with ideas to make it a true "Full-Race" project.  The best idea I had so far was using the MKZ 3.7L motor mounts, a 3.5L ecoboost engine would be a bolt-in swap.  IMHO the most exciting way to go would be start with the fusion 2.0L AWD titanium (because the gdi fuel system already in place and the rear drive parts are there) and then convert over to SHO/flex/explorer driveline.. I actually pitched that idea of the 3.5L AWD motor swap in a fusion but ford guys said nope they want us to develop the fwd 2.0L fusion platform ... so that is what we are going to do.  lots of options ive been considering after we do the fwd 2.0 build initially:

-focus ST / fiesta ST steering knuckle swap
-awd 2.0 swap?
-awd 2.0 with manual trans (mazdaspeed6) and AWD driveline?
-awd 3.5? 

There is so much potential with the ecoboost engines (just the same old duratec engines really, better sleeves, heads injection) and CD3 shared chassis platforms.  im really excited to see what this forum is like in 10 years when the ecoboost engines are as cheap and common as a honda B20 and there is a mature aftermarket in place... i will do my part to help!

I believe the mkz awd is an intermediate and in retrospect i wish i asked Ford to build one of those!  I have read about the rear drive clutches and the warnings, sure would be nice to pull a salvage-yard unit apart and really break it down, see how to add more clutches, and maybe an external cooler...
