Default ECU Swap

I have an 08 with a 2.3, I was wondering if I could swap my ECU with that of a 2.3 mustang ECU and possibly gain a little. Any idea if it'd be worth it or if it would even work?

Default Re: ECU Swap

If you are considering an ecoboost 2.3, that is not the same engine as used in the 2.3 Ranger. I doubt there is much in common.
OTOH, you could find a late model pony with the ecoboost and swap the whole thing, including all the wires, trans, etc. Not easy, but I don't think I have seen it done before.

Thanks for the input. I'll look into it a little more. If you happen to come across anything else that I may be able to do instead, keep me posted.
