How the EcoBoost turbo system works and what you can do to make it last

[Tdifonzo]

Does the Bronco not have a coolant pump that will run for a minute or so after you turn off the engine?

So I went ahead and asked him directly about this on youtube:

Based on this and just to be safe, I'm firing my FORScan back up and making another change.

If you want to disable ASS, just select sport mode. ASS disabled. Now if I could make sport mode the default (and I think it may be possible) it will be golden (by disabling ECO and normal).

By this, I don't think he means let it idle for 10 minutes in your driveway. He just means don't go hitting max boost and high rpm while it is still cold. Unless your driveway is on a major highway, I do not think you will need to do anything special other than taking it a little easy the first few minutes of driving.

I keep trying to explain this to people who insist on idling their engine in the driveway before going anywhere - people act like the accelerator is an on/off switch. Just drive out of the neighborhood nice an easy rather than squealing the tires and hitting redline out of the driveway.

I may have just answered my own question:

I wouldn't really worry about it - Ford does tons of testing and mitigation of any issues before releasing features like this. They really do design these for 150K++ miles - you should see the absolutely brutal and cruel dyno tests that these engines go thru - if they don't pass them all, they get re-engineered until they do.
Of course, if the start/stop annoys you, then go ahead and disable it. I know it is a pet peeve for some people.

It's actually pretty cool to see in practice, after a hard run, if you have already opened the radiator cap, water flows through the overflow reservoir.

Isn’t it a separate starter system? As in if it fails at some point it effectively means it always disabled? In which case I don’t understand the reliability concerns.

Me, too. My F150 2.7 had 66,000 miles in 5 years. All i did was change the oil regularly and have the injector service done at the right time.

Not the same 2.7 that is in the Bronco

Thanks OP. Great thread

Is the Bronco 2.7 turbo oil cooled?
My "thought I knew" is that all Ecoboost's are oil cooled.
That makes cool down a little more important, but I've never ran one red hot.

Most all are sufficiently cooled by air and the lubricating oil that flows through them....

Well, define "same!" I think our point is that the engine has a history of reliability that we are personally familiar with. ln 2015-2017, it was a 6 cylinder, twin-turbo, fuel injected engine with 2 injectors per engine, and a solid graphite iron block. It was modified in 2018 with a new injector design, and in the Bronco the oil pan was enlarged with a different sump to account for tilting on trails. I have the 2.7 in my Bronco now, because I am confident in my experience over 5 years with the earlier version of this wonderful engine that I am quite happy with.

thanks. good video. makes sense of what looks like a bowl of spaghetti under the hood.
I cant help but noticed that your home's downspout needs a little help or you may end up with water damage problems around your foundation or basement.

2.7 nano engine… look it up they are different

Right, so I'm curious, he's saying let your turbo engine warm up 10 minutes every time you start it from a cold start..... who plans for that, do you?

With Fordpass app you can set schedule to auto start your truck every morning before work.
