Piston Features
Engineered in house by our motorsport division and manufactured exclusively by our partner Mahle Motorsports, the mountune Mahle forged piston set for the 2.3L Ford EcoBoost is a fully featured piston with many of the same upgrades we use in our professional motorsport engines. Produced from modern lightweight alloy forgings for extreme duty, each piston features supported pin bosses to withstand the extreme conditions found in engines operating with high cylinder pressures. The layout of the piston has also been optimized with weight reduction in mind and reduced skirt profiles to minimize friction. The design also includes gas accumulator grooves developed during extensive testing and tailored for the EcoBoost engine. Careful consideration has been used in the ?bowl? area of the piston to maintain Ford?s original profile to ensure proper and efficient combustion.

Extreme duty 22.5mm internally tapered, short wrist pins are used to reduce pin flex and weight. Mountune connecting rods are recommended to ensure a matched set of components. As an added feature, Mahle's phosphate dry lubricant coating is used on the entire piston to reduce micro-welding and pin galling. Additionally, Mahle's Grafal skirt coating is used on the piston skirt to reduce cylinder wall friction reduction. Hard anodized top ring grooves have been incorporated for increased durability and strength to withstand the high cylinder pressures of high boost engines.

  • Gas nitrided top ring: Superior combustion sealing, strength and wear.
  • Gas nitrided second ring: Superior strength and wear.
  • Motorsport grade piston pin locks ensure reliable operation
  • Made in the USA

Connecting Rod Features
The connecting rod is one of the most highly stressed components within the engine and improved connecting rods are an essential upgrade for high power EcoBoost engines. The mountune connecting rod was developed using extensive FEA analysis resulting in the optimum connecting rod for applications up to 200 bhp per cylinder. Made in the USA to our specifications, each connecting rod incorporates our motorsport DNA to provide you with the ultimate component for your engine. Exclusive features include a robust, I ? Beam configuration with extensive machining to optimize weight without reducing strength. All edges and corners are radiused to improve durability.

As an added upgrade, mountune connecting rods feature machined tangs to securely locate the rod bearings. Compared to the factory press fit tangless bearings, this feature ensures improved bearing retention in high cylinder pressure and high RPM engines. Tool steel connecting rod bolts are also standard and are superior to most bolts found in other rods on the market. Silicone/bronze pin bushings provide a durable and low friction surface that remains dimensionally stable in high pressure and high RPM applications.

Specifications:
  • Pin Bore 22.5mm
  • 3/8" WMC Tool steel rod bolt
  • Nominal weight : 550g
  • Made in USA

Light Weight and Optimized EcoBoost 2.3L Crankshaft Features
The standard Ford EcoBoost 2.3L Forged Crankshaft is optimized for maximum performance and excellent engine response. The standard crankshaft is carefully processed and machined including the removal of the balance shaft drive gear and associated hub. Comprehensive machining of journal arms and other strategic areas of the crankshaft provide additional lightness. Once all machining is completed, the component is processed with various surface treatments to reduce stress producing a part with a refined and superior surface. Optional keyed snout for ease of assembly. This crank is perfect for high power builds in both the Focus RS, Mustang EcoBoost.

    NA King

    I have used all of the big name tuners before I came across Ortiz and ran the fastest times I ever have, with Ortiz. . I ran my fastest time in much worse DA as well, compared to the other 2 big names. Don't waste your money like I did and go directly to the source of the fastest NA cars around!

    Installed on 2018 Taurus SHO

    Pump works great. To anyone who might want to save some cash and want a plug-in play install then order this fuel pump from 1A Auto
    2018 Ford Explorer V6 3.5L Turbo Passenger Side Fuel Pump Module Assembly TRQ FPA72032. Its a simple replacement. Pumps are same size, no boring/sanding ridge to make pump fit. No splicing of wires either, connector from 1A Auto is plug and play. Just reuse spacer on pump and use one of the new o-rings and your done. Took me 30 minutes. I swapped out float with OEM, explorer and SHO floats are different. Only pain is retainer on rod on housing, its plastic and you will need needle nose plyers to get it off.

    I recommend this product.

    LOVE THE E85 KIT!

    I bought the E85 conversion kit for my 3.7 from Ortiz Performance (OP) for a couple reasons. First, they specialize in the Cyclone whereas a lot of tuners don't want to bother tuning it (...cause what's the point?). Second, I talked via email at great length with one of their tuners, Lee Ament, and he was happy to take all the time I needed answering questions with detailed answers. Because of the amount of service I received before I purchased, I was convinced that I would be in good hands. I also liked that their favored injector (in the kit) is a genuine Ford part (OEM for the GT500).

    I could tell right away that the OP gas tune was superior to the canned, Bama tunes I was using previously. I could immediately feel that shifts were taking 1/3 less time to complete and I could feel a lot of throttle boost across all rpm and especially in 1st gear (low rpm). I remember asking Bama to add more throttle boost to my tune and they simply don't make changes like that.

    The E85 tune was great. Instant 10%-15% power boost and response across all rpm and really fills in the gap at lower rpm. Feels like I'm using a throttle booster, but I'm not.

    There's only so much you can do to a Cyclone without forced-induction and E85 is a welcome, significant improvement if you already have everything else.

    Installation is straight-forward, you can find a number of videos on YouTube that show exactly how to do this.

    The one important thing to note: These injectors are taller than the stock injectors and
    will not fit deep enough into the fuel rail UNLESS you do not use the stock fuel-injector clips!...which is completely OK! OP and all the above-mentioned videos will also state this. You will probably need a spacer (like a washer) on the 4 fuel rail bolts to fill a small gap. (If you don't pull the injector clips, the fuel rail will make contact with the manifold.) It will also run like crap until you put your first OP tune on it.

    I recommend this product.

    Wonderful Service

    Sent my manifolds in (USPS wasn’t sure about the address but they got there just fine), took a handful of days to do the porting and about another week to ship back but I’m very happy with the results. Customer service was polite and helpful regardless of how often I messaged them, definitely would recommend

    Roush air intake SHO

    The over all ordering experience was a little lack luster at start. Ordered the intake on 12/3 and it was not going to ship for sometime due to a back order, which I don’t blame the Ortiz team at for one bit. However they quickly turn the ordering experience around, with rapid and prompt reply to my emails( no matter how much I bugged them). Once it was pretty clear the intake I wanted wasn’t going to ship before the end of the year they offered me another product at no additional charge. All in all I got a better product, excellent customer service and I’m glad and proud to say my 2015 SHO is tuned and take care of by Ortiz Performance. Greta company, great people and a great over all experience.
    Thanks for all your hard work over the holidays and I’m glad I was referred to you by a fellow SHO owner.

    Thanks Ortiz Performance.
    Shout out to Lee as well! You rock man!

    Great Look!

    I wish the description would have more description as to what you are ordering and the difference with/without the rear silicone boot.
    It is very difficult to install the rear silicone boot on the rear turbo. I would put slightly bigger clamps where they mount on the turbos as well. But the product is top grade! Looks really great!! Performs great as well. I will be doing the hot pipes for sure from ecopower parts as well.

    I recommend this product.

    @murdzilla3.7 Mustang

    I purchased the Custom Tunes for my 2011 3.7, and i can honestly say Ortiz is the best tuner in the world in my opinion. 7 days a week Twice on Sunday. If you want to gap v8's and rip the streets slaying the competition, you have 100% come to the right place.

    @murdzilla3.7 Mustang

    I purchased the Ghost Cam and Bravo 240. Hands down the best decision in my opinion. The Ghost sounds so amazing, everyone is always complimenting the idle. The drive ability is great, no issues. The Bravo is also one of my favorite things as well. As I decelerate you can literally here the bald eagles and F18's, its wild!! Seriously though it sounds like thunder with a mix of gunshots in there.. its absolutely amazing in every way. Ortiz knows best!!

    Power Pack

    I have been running this tune/package on my SHO for over a year. Increased performance and fuel economy...never thought you could get both. Lee’s customer support and Luis’ tuning and turnaround time was beyond impressive. Luis reviewed multiple datalogs until deciding the car was running perfectly and safely, making smooth power and shifting on point. They answered any questions and concerns almost immediately and an updated tune was sent within 24 hours. That’s what will keep me coming back.

    I recommend this product.
