Ever since Ford put the turbocharged EcoBoost engine into the S550 Mustang, it’s become a popular platform. There were some skeptics at the beginning — after all, a fuel-efficient, four-cylinder turbo doesn’t exactly scream “classic Mustang.” But the 2015 Mustang EcoBoost quickly silenced the haters through killer performance.
All the way through the 2020 Ford Mustang EcoBoost, this Blue Oval baby has had a lot to offer right off the line. That said, it really soars with a few upgrades! We’ll give you the lowdown on specs for each year and suggest some performance parts to push it into the stratosphere.
The EcoBoost series of engines is employed across Ford's lineup, designed to be environmentally friendly with fewer emissions and improved fuel efficiency. The EcoBoost first saw use as a Mustang engine with the introduction of the 2015 Mustang EcoBoost model, the first four-cylinder pony since the 1990s.
Yes! Since its introduction, the Mustang EcoBoost has put out over 300 horsepower. But keep in mind that it's intended as an entry-level Mustang, so if you're looking for hotter performance right off the line, the Ford Mustang GT is likely a better choice. However, the EcoBoost is ripe for modding, so you can make it fly with a few Mustang EcoBoost performance parts.
The 2015 Mustang EcoBoost came out swinging with high horsepower and torque for an entry-level pony. Naysayers, be damned! This was a four-cylinder Mustang worth celebrating.

Not much changed on the 2016 Mustang EcoBoost, so the specs are the same.
Once again, we're looking at identical specs. Why change the 2017 Mustang EcoBoost just as the platform was gaining traction in the pony car community?
Since 2018 was a refresh year, the 2018 Ford Mustang EcoBoost got some upgrades. First of all, this is when the EcoBoost became the base power plant for the Mustang. More importantly, it got a new overboost feature that allowed for higher torque.
The 2019 Mustang EcoBoost simply continued the trends set by the previous model year — not a bad thing!
With some different performance package options and general hardware upgrades, the 2020 Ford Mustang EcoBoost truly became a track-ready pony worthy of consideration for Mustang owners old and new.
As we mentioned, this platform is perfect for modding — with a few bolt-ons and other Mustang EcoBoost performance parts, you can craft a custom pony that'll look and ride precisely how you want it to. The goal is to focus on the specific type of build you want and choose parts to help you meet that goal. Below are some of our top recommendations to get you started.
The 2.3L EcoBoost engine can hit some solid numbers as-is because of its turbocharger, but upgrades like a cold air intake and custom tune are the perfect way to make it a real competitor.
If you're going for power, upgrading your suspension to accommodate any gains is crucial. For example, lowering spring can give you better, more responsive handling, but you'll also have a stiffer ride — not a huge concern if you're focused on track performance. An air lift system is more customizable, allowing your EcoBoost Mustang to still ride well for daily driving.
Hitting the right exhaust note is important to every Mustang owner, whether you want low growl or a deafening roar. Plus, an upgraded exhaust can offer significant performance gains.
While we like to think of Mustang owners all being part of one big pony party, the fact is, everyone wants to stand out from the crowd. Changing up the look of your EcoBoost Mustang, inside and out, is a great way to put your unique stamp on your ride.
