Acceleration of 2dr 2.3L Sasquatch vs 4dr 2.7 L Sasquatch ?

[Philvis77]

I really felt a difference in my 2.7l 2-dr and the 2.3l 4-dr I had as a loaner. Personally, after that, I wouldn't anything other than my 2.7l.

you will also want to consider are you going to leave them stock or add on some goodies.
the 2.3 is cheaper in price and upgrades on a 2.3 will add some noticeable performance.
I have added a tune, high flow down pipe, catback exhaust and intercooler and charging pipes.
and she definitely has some giddyup now. From doing research the 2.3 is easier to mod and gets better gains. Or maybe that just my opinion.

A 2.7 is going to be far more responsive to modifications, which it should be with 2 extra cylinders.
Normal bolt-ons and a custom tune on 93, a 2.7 will make roughly 355whp/465wtq
A 2.3 is going to make ~290whp/380wtq
That's a pretty significate difference.

It may be slightly cheaper if you start changing turbos, although 2.7 turbos aren't very expensive for a set.

You could always get the 2.3L with a manual and slap a custom ZFGR tune on it ...

Have the outer banks trim with 4.27 Axles. It has the 2.7. Before I bought i drove both 4 Dr's with the 2.7 and 2.3 standard axle ratios. 2.3 wasn't bad at all, but was slower. Also did not feel quite as sure footed at highway speeds. Bigger tires do make a huge difference as to acceleration, so go with the 2.7. What I like about the 2.7 is beating jeeps. Had one guy at a light who started reving his 2dr v6, when it turned he had the jump until the turbos kicked in and I passed him. At the next light he asked what engine I had, I told him I had the 2.3...

Owned two of each, go 2.7, it sounds better. The 2.3 sounds like R2D2.

On love the artificial sound of 2.7 normal mode heavy throttle sounds very legit almost like German sport V8.

Wouldn't that be BHP (at the crank), not at the wheels? Manufacturers usually rate power at the crank.

Those are examples of actual dyno numbers from mine and other members.

Engine numbers would be much higher

Nice. Are the Ford-provided numbers for the FP Tune at the crank or wheels?

They’re at the crank

Thanks! What I figured, unfortunately.

Not sure if this is helpful, but using AI and physics. there is a 244lb delta between the 2-dr and 4-dr Badlands ( 5.24% heavier for a 2026, assuming same configuration/optisions) so the added mass would result in about a 0.3 minute delta in 0-60mph acceleration time or 7.7 sec (2-dr) and 8.0 sec (4-door). These are theoretical, but likely proportionally accurate.

It's like running two turtles side by side--

you can do a lot on this site as far as figuring out different vehicles-- I'm sure it is in the ball park

Like others have said. I drove them both and I liked the 2.3 a little better. I went with that and Im very happy. I do use the manual + - on the shift handle on my Bronco more than any other Truck I have owned. and it makes a big difference.
