Is Bronco Ecoboost Calibration Kit for 2.7L only?

[Roamania]

Noticed the most recent catalog update shows Ford Performance now has Bronco tune SKU. (Part #: M-9603-B27) Since the Ranger Ecoboost SKU is M-9603-REB" (Presumably short for "Ranger Eco Boost") Maybe I'm reading too much into the SKU choice but at face value it makes me wonder if "M-9603-B27" means this is for the "Bronco 2.7L" only?

I've been hoping the performance tune for a Manual 2.3L would be available. (I'm a 2.3L Manual Black Diamond 4 Door Carb. Gray with a July 30 reservation date.). I've got a lot of kids so I'm trying to get the most yield for the least $... that is while still preserving ability to spray out the inevitable 2" deep layers of goldfish crackers, Pringles, gummy bears, etc. that will inevitably accumulate.

Anyone able to shed light on this?

No, doesn't void warranty. it's made and approved by Ford. If Bronco tune yields equivalent to their Ford Ranger option, it would nudge HP from 270 to 315HP and 380 lb-ft torque. (almost equivalent to the 2.7L specs but half the price/)

Here's the official specs from Ford on the Ranger Performance Tune option.

Here is something similar, but not the same, For a Mustang. When installed by a dealer it does have a warranty

I assume it will be for both. The pictured air filter looks like it is for the 2.7. probably a generic pic.

n00b question. Is this for Manual Transmissions as well? Noticed it mentioned:

• Optimized shift schedule

So I figured this may just be for Automatic Transmissions...

I can't imagine they would have one for the 2.7L and not the 2.3L. Will be interesting to see what they allow for tire size changes - the Ranger version only allows calibration up to 31.5" tires.

Then it would make sense being for 2.7L only since Ford didn't give use a manual with that.

they will only support factory anything else is just a Forscan change which isnt going to impact the warranty.

• It appears that part number is for the 2.7L
• It should not void the warranty assuming it's a Ford thang
• They should have one for the 2.3L
• My dear flying spaghetti monster, if they don't have one for the manual.........

There's a brain interface connection that you can get installed by the dealer. It makes your reaction time that much faster.

I have it, buti...dont...have....toemany....side effetcs!

Just remember, with these tunes you're supposed to run premium fuel IOT get the full benefits of the tune and promote longevity.
