Video: EcoBoost F-150 Turbo Upgrade Adds 170HP

The versatility of Ford’s EcoBoost engines continues as people modify their cars and trucks. This particular F-150 with a 3.5-liter engine equipped with EcoBoost belongs to Daniel Bremer, and made a couple changes made to help bump up the power.

MPT Performance modded Daniel Bremer’s EcoBoost F-150 with a choice selection of mods and the results are impressive.

The truck is running with Cavalli Turbos in place of the OE snails, so that alone should produce some gains based. However, it now also features a Reische Performance 170-degree thermostat; a TurboSmart supersonic blow-off valve and wastegates; a 3-bar MAP sensor, an AEM water/methanol injection system, and a 4.10:1 rearend ratio. It all comes together via a custom calibration flashed with an SCT Performance tuner.

MPT Performance maximized the combination with a custom calibration developed and delivered using SCT Performance software and hardware.

Considering this modest list of modifications, the gains on this truck were quite impressive. The method used by MPT Performance here was a great way to see serious power out of an EcoBoost engine without going crazy with changes and without risking streetability.

The results below should certainly provide inspirational fodder for your next  EcoBoost project. What do you think of this package?

With the new combination, Daniel’s truck jumped from 322.8 to 457.1 rear-wheel horsepower, while torque increased from 363.8 to 448.3 lb-ft at the wheels.
