2.7 Ecoboost Nano Twin Turbo V6- Ford Bronco's Engine Details You Need To Know

[@marynapier3962]

I work at a ford dealer and the 2.7 is a good little engine, very seldom do we have one in the shop with engine issues, the 3.5 is a deferent story we have them in the shop all the time with timeing chain issues. And this guy is telling u the truth about the oil and filter . If u change the oil and filter every 5k miles and use a good synthetic oil and this little engine will last a lot of miles down the road

I have a 2020 STX 4X4 w/the 2.7. It is my work truck and have put 115,000 miles on it. I have it serviced every 5000 miles using Fords full synthetic oil. I haven't had any issues with this engine. I'm in Phoenix and this truck idles for about 20 minutes straight at least 10 times a day as it is my mobile office. With summer temperatures hitting 110°+ I'm super impressed with this engine. I'm hoping it'll last 500,000 miles before needing major work.

I have the 2.7L in my 2022 F150 XLT, I put a S&B cold air intake and the Pedal Commander Throttle Controller, and I use Mobil 1 full synthetic oil every 4k miles.

I’m one of those Bronco owner who had “dropped valve” it’s been at the dealership for a little over a month now. I was probably one of the first to receive a bronco in Northern California, so it’s been taking awhile to get my bronco back to me. The dealership acquired a new 2.7L motor from another dealership and dropped it in but heard some knocking or noise and had to stop. In the meantime a brand new 2.7L direct from Ford is being installed now. Fingers crossed it takes this time.

What is the oil pump belt’s change interval and is it DIY? Thanks for all the great info!

Just some perspective when it comes to modern engines. I recently purchased a 2018 F150 with the 2.7L and I also have a 1971 MG Midget with the 1275 A-Series (1.3L). The MG new made 65hp or 50 HP per liter. The F150 makes 325hp or 120 HP per liter. New tech and tighter tolerances have really gone a long way. There are pros and cons to everything, and modern engines have many more points of failure, but modern manufacturing has mitigated most of that.

Any recommendations for engine longevity or reliability other than the basics you said such as; regular oil changes (using quality oil and filter), good quality fuel, ignition (plugs, wires, & coils) & general maintenance? I have been looking at some of the aftermarket intercooler but feel like it would be unnecessary for stock boost. I have a 2.7 Bronco Badlands that will stay stock for the most part that sees regular off road use but not abuse.

[@volvo09]

If you want longevity and reliability leave all your stock ignition components (it's coil over plug) the aftermarket options are not reliable. Performance products are for performance, not reliability UNLESS specifically designed to fix an existing issue, which is not the case. Randomly throwing aftermarket stuff at an engine is a recipe for issues. Leave it alone. Get a tune if you want power.

@@newsforcous I have been doing oil changes on my car every 4k with liquid molly full synthetic oil. Costs me about 60.00 every 4-6 months. I'm sure in the states it's cheaper.

[@Gdavis135]

Good info. Can you address concerns about the plastic oil pan and the funky oil plug that is reportedly fragile and needs replacing when the oil is changed?

[@DrivenWildOutdoors]

yes, In my oil change video I will. Thanks for watching!

[@cjs033]

Get yourself a Ronin replacement oil plug to replace the garbage yellow plastic plug. Best 80 bucks you’ll ever spend. And stops the oil from splashing all over the sway bar. I attach a plastic tube to the nipple so I can direct the oil flow. Never spill a drop again.

Excellent and very informative .

So.... avoid the 1st gen 2.7? Wondering if i should avoid turbos altogether and get a 5.0 with the overall crappier fuel mileage. But I drive up to 30k miles a year, so it adds up.

[@DrivenWildOutdoors]

First, I don’t recommend either way. , but understanding the details of the 1st Gen can assist you in upgrades or maintenance intervals

[@mesothelioma5024]

What if cheap gas is used in combination of octane boosters or fuel additives

[@sewerman911]

Thanks for the break down. I wae looking at a 24 Ranger with the 2.7. Was a little worried it would be a big mistake. Not loving the belt in the oil, but i use good oil and change often.

[@adamfehr1994]

You’ll have to wait a little bit for the 2.7 as the 2.3 is the only engine available currently. Ford says it will be out this fall

I know that the second gen 2.7 ecoboost has dual injection but I still plan to add Mishimoto dual cans to my Bronco as soon as they hit the market!

Oil catch cans?

[@cactuscanuck6802]

@@dc_advntr5525 correct - he means oil catch cans. A good idea on a turbo engine

[@Defyfate11]

I got the UPR dual valve oil catchcan with clean side. Couldn't wait for Mishimoto to put out their dual oil catch can. Also I actually think the UPR is a better design.

[@Bacnow]

@@Defyfate11 - Sweet! I like that setup! I’m going to have to look into that one. Unfortunately, my Bronco (with build date of 1/28) has been imprisoned until 5/21 awaiting chips! So, i guess i’ll keep stockpiling parts and accessories in anticipation of my vehicle’s parole date…

[@Bacnow]

@@Defyfate11 - i almost pulled the trigger on the UPR (you’re correct, the design seems superior) then i read this: “THIS PART DOES NOT CARRY AN CARB EO NUMBER, AND THEREFORE…..ALL CALIFORNIA ORDERS WILL BE CANCELLED AND REFUNDED” I live in…well, you guessed it….California….😐

[@aussie1546]

what is your opinion on oil catch can on this engine. I appreciate it

[@DrivenWildOutdoors]

Well, like I tell everyone, I cannot recommend any modifications to an engine. However, I personally run catch cans on my engines and every time I empty out the canister it makes me feel that much better knowing that that’s not coding the intake valves. The dual injection helps however the port injection on these engines are more for idle and low speed, and not necessarily for under boost winch, is when you’re going to have most of the vapor being created . I’ll comment later with the oil catch can video install that is on my channel

[@knownman5268]

Very informative and connected the dots for some of the new terminology I’ve heard of, but didn’t really understand. I have 30k miles on the 3.5L in my 2020 f150. Guess I can look forward to new plugs & coils next year.

Depending on how you drive it, They will run longer however it has been my experience that performance drops quickly over 60k Engine oil is key to a healthy boosted engine.

The 2.4 liter ecoboost 4 cylinder has more than enough horsepower to move that Bronco around. If it’s good enough for a Mustang that’s the engine I would want in the Bronco.

Thank you for this video. Say you're running down the freeway and turn off to gas up (Chevron or Shell, right?). How long should you let the engine idle to allow the turbines to spool down and dissipate all the heat from the road? EDIT: You are answering my questions with your "Turbo Etiquette" video. I'm off to watch that now.

[@DrivenWildOutdoors]

Thank you for watching! I hope the videos helps

[@dc_advntr5525]

what are your thoughts on the oil catch can topic? I heard you mention the dual injection helps keep it cleaner, but would we be removing the cooling effect with a catch can? Would that damage or wear anything out? Bottom line, do you think a catch can is a good idea or not for this engine?
