2013-2015 Ford Escape EcoBoost Gets Impressive Horsepower & Torque Gains from K&N
- Oct 1, 2015
One of the Ford Motor Company's biggest objectives has been to increase its vehicles' fuel efficiency without sacrificing power. Ford's solution to this challenge has been to implement a line of relatively small displacement turbo charged engines designed to squeeze out horsepower and excellent highway MPG. Nearly every new model from Ford can be equipped with an EcoBoost turbocharged engine. The third generation Ford Escape compact SUV is no exception to this statement. In fact, because of the increased fuel efficiency, and horsepower created by Ford EcoBoost engines, the 2013, 2014, & 2015 Ford Escape has no option for a gas/electric hybrid powertrain or a V6 engine.
Just because Ford has managed to squeeze sufficient power from the 2013, 2014, or 2015 Ford Escape 1.6L or 2.0L EcoBoost engine doesn't mean the factory design cannot be improved upon. In fact, K&N engineers have been able to design a new air intake system that provides impressive, and dyno proven, gains in power for 2013, 2014, or 2015 Ford Escape 1.6 or 2.0-liter turbo models. The basic principle behind a K&N air intake system is to free up horsepower previously being lost to air intake tract restriction. By replacing the restrictive factory air intake ducting, enclosed air box, and disposable factory air filter, K&N air intake 69-3537TS is able to greatly improve the performance of 2013, 2014, or 2015 Ford Escape 1.6 or 2.0L EcoBoost engines.
When dyno tested on an otherwise stock 2015 Ford Escape 2.0L EcoBoost, K&N Ford Escape air intake 69-3537TS was shown to provide an estimated additional 19.06hp at 4503 RPM. Equally impressive, and just as important for performance, was the estimated additional 22.25 lb-ft of torque increase witnessed at 4503 RPM. Similar performance gains can be expected when K&N Ford Escape EcoBoost intake 69-3537TS is installed on a 2013, 2014, or 2015 Ford Escape 1.6L EcoBoost model. K&N air filters backs its air intake systems with a guaranteed increase in horsepower to make K&N users feel confident in their K&N air intake purchase.
K&N Ford Escape EcoBoost air intake system, number 69-3537TS, includes a silver powder coated mandrel-bent aluminum air intake tube, K&N high-flow washable/reusable open element air filter, and an application specific air filter heat shield. Also included with this air intake system is a set of step by step installation instructions with photos to ensure that this intake can be installed in around 90 minutes using common tools. K&N air filters and K&N performance air intake systems are backed by a 10-year/million mile limited warranty. K&N high-flow air filters can be washed, and made like new using a readily available K&N Recharger® air filter service kit. K&N air filters are built to last and will save money in the long run when compared to repeatedly purchasing disposable air filters. K&N air intake 69-3537TS is designed to provide a guaranteed bolt-on performance upgrade for the following Ford Escape models: 2015 Ford Escape L4 1.6L Find additional Ford Escape replacement parts or Ford Escape performance upgrades from K&N using the Search By Vehicle tool to find K&N performance products for other vehicles.
