Does anyone in the states have the 2.0 biturbo engine

[NeilAW]

Hi, trying to find info on the intercooler hoses and has any one made some up themselves, the engine in this uk ranger is the same as the raptor 2.0 biturbo, I have replaced the inter cooler with one from forge motorsport and Im now lookming to find intercooler hoses , but no success, searched on the forums , havnt found anything

Our raptor is a 3.0 bi-turbo. No usa ranger came with a 2.0. The 2.0 came in the cars and small suvs

All 2019-up U.S. model Rangers have the 2.3L Ecoboost and more recently the Raptor model has a 3.0L turbo. No 2.0L or diesels or manual transmission in the U.S. 2.3L intercooler hoses may or may not fit, I don't know.

Is the 2.0 Ecoboost used in the Ford Fusion (stateside) the same engine we are talking about?

2.0L EcoBoost GTDI Engine - In-Depth Look at Design and Reliability

What is the 2.0L EcoBoost GTDI Engine? Is it good or bad? Read about Ford 2.0L EcoBoost GTDI Engine design and features, its the most common problems and relaibility.

If that is accurate, then starting in 2015 it was upgraded to twin scroll and available in a few different stateside vehicles just not the Ranger.
"...debuted in the 2015 Ford Edge and currently is offered in Ford Everest, Ford Tourneo, Ford Escape, and Ford Fusion "

The Escape is the small SUV that is most similar to the Explorer (technically a crossover instead of an SUV.. I would think starting a search around the Escape would give you the most reasonably likely to work options.

thanks for the info, its surprising how many different variations of the ranger exist between europe and the US, does the ford everest have the same engine, this is a 2.0 biturbo diesel, we dont get the petrol version here, no Idea why, only the 3.2 diesel and now from 2019 the 2.0 biturobo diesel.this was lifted from the european raptor to replace the 3.2, also the 2.0 biturbo is fitted with the 10 speed auto not the 6 that was on the 3.2

Diesel engines in vehicles in North America below heavier, light duty trucks and vans is a rare thing. It's just the direction the governments of the United States and Canada chose to approach the vehicle emissions issue and I guess they felt it was easier to go at it from the petrol fueled angle than the diesel one. Personally, I would have preferred they had went the diesel direction but here we are.

If I'm figuring things out correctly, our equivalent to the Everest is the Ford Explorer. That has had a range of engines from the 2.0 Ecoboost on up. All petrol engines.

thanks for the reply, did not realize that it was all petrol in the USA

With the intercooler swap you have made, are stock hoses what you are looking for or something that is definitely going to end up custom?
If stock would work I take the same approach there as I would here... we have a really good Ford parts website (fordpartscatalog.com) that you can scare up part numbers off of and then go hunt down the part somewhere more reasonably priced.... if that fails, swing by a brick and mortar Ford dealer and have them look up the part and give you the part number (at the service desk)...
A preliminary search lead me to www.euspares.co.uk - which does list the Ranger Mk3 with "2.0 EcoBlue 170hp diesel" and parts for it, but I can't beat the part number out of that site.... might dig in that vein on some more parts sites for a bit or track down a dealership.

If it is going to be a custom made job, either a hydraulics shop or buy the tools and supplies yourself I think are going to be the only 2 options. Not really worth it to make 2 hoses once and never need again.

If I recall correctly, smaller diesel engines have a hard time meeting the NOx emission standard in lighter vehicles. Vehicles over #8500 GCVW have somewhat lighter emissions standards so that's where we see the diesels.
I'd prefer that we'd adopt EU emissions and crash test standards so automakers could sell the same cars everywhere and people here could buy a manual transmission and, if they choose, forgo some crash protection in favor of better fuel mileage, but it is what it is.
When I was in Italy I saw Chrysler minivans that looked just like the one my wife drives but they had diesels.
The EU seems to place a higher priority on fuel mileage while the US puts a higher priority on emissions.

I agree with that assessment. Europe went after fuel consumption instead of emissions, like we did. I don't know if the results ended being similar or not, given the separate approaches to the same problem. I have always liked their engine and transmission options better than ours.

thanks for all the replys, it looks like custom is my only option here but I dont mind, I am an auto engineer anyway, so I do like to tinker and making my own hoses does appeal to me
