BadAss Build Long Block Engine for 2013-2018 Focus ST 2.0L

Badass Build Block Options (Rated for 550–600 WHP) Upgradable to 700+ whp):

      The EMS Badass Build offers a performance engine configuration rated for 550–600 WHP, retaining the factory-style 2.0L single-port cylinder head. Choose between a new or used ST Block, MZR Block, or Bring Your Own Block (BYOB), as well as the option to add sleeves.

       What is the benefit of adding sleeves? Sleeving involves reinforcing the cylinder walls, reducing the risk of cylinder wall damage and increasing the engine’s capability to handle higher power levels, making it ideal for performance enthusiasts pursuing substantial horsepower gains.

Looking to Build Beyond 600 WHP?

The standard EMS Focus ST Badass Long Block retains the factory-style 2.0L single-port cylinder head and is rated for 550–600 WHP. For customers targeting approximately 700 WHP or higher, EMS offers a separate 2.3L Twin-Scroll Cylinder Head Conversion with the necessary conversion accessories and selectable camshaft options.

OEM Components:

New OEM timing cover, oil pump, chain, gear, and guide.

Additionally:

1. New-pinned OEM crankshaft: Enhances reliability and stability. It prevents movement between the crankshaft and harmonic damper, reducing the risk of misalignment and ensuring consistent performance, especially under high-stress conditions.
2. New OEM valve cover, oil pan, and oil pickup tube, and rear main seal: By incorporating the New OEM valve cover, oil pan, oil pickup tube, and rear main seal into our engine assembly, we transform the long block into a complete sealed engine. This integration includes all essential external components, making it ready for straightforward installation in your vehicle.

Performance Pistons and Connecting Rods:

🚨 The EMS High Compression 88mm Pistons are BACK IN STOCK!!! This affects all long block (rebuilds) and (new engine orders) using a (used Focus ST block) or a (used Mazda block). NOTE: We also have a limited number of 87.5mm high compression pistons available for brand new ST or MZR block engines only (not rebuilds).

1. Choose between standard 9.5:1 or high compression 10.0:1 MAHLE pistons. The difference between standard 9.5:1 and high compression 10.0:1 MAHLE pistons lies in the compression ratio. A 10.0:1 ratio means the air-fuel mixture is compressed more, offering increased power but may require higher-octane fuel and careful tuning for optimal performance.
2. Boostline I-beam rods for unparalleled strength. For us this was the obvious choice due to their enhanced strength, durability, and ability to handle increased horsepower.

Advanced Engine Modifications:

The EMS Badass Build comes standard with a new OEM head gasket, Piper BP255 performance camshafts, and the OEM valvetrain configuration. The BP255 camshafts are compatible with factory valve springs and do not require an upgraded spring package.

Additionally:

1. Keyed crank, sprocket, and damper: Ensure precise timing and reduce the risk of timing-related issues, optimizing performance and reliability under demanding conditions.
2. Balance shaft delete: Reduces rotational mass and improves engine response, minimizing vibrations for a more direct power delivery and enhanced performance.
3. 10 mm CA625+ head studs: Offer superior strength and durability compared to stock studs, providing enhanced clamping force for improved head gasket sealing under high-performance conditions.
4. King main and rod bearings: Offer superior durability, reduced friction, and enhanced load capacity compared to stock bearings. This upgrade ensures optimal engine reliability and performance.

Cylinder Head Upgrade:

1. Factory-Style 2.0L Single-Port Cylinder Head with Optional Bowl Porting: The standard Badass Long Block retains the factory-style single-port cylinder head. Optional pocket porting improves airflow, contributing to increased horsepower and torque potential.
2. Piper Performance Camshafts: Our standard Badass Long Block includes Piper BP255 camshafts, compatible with the OEM valvetrain and factory valve springs. Additional Piper camshaft profiles, including the BP270, BP285, and BP300, are available as upgrades. These higher-performance profiles require compatible Piper valve spring upgrades and supporting valvetrain components.
3. Optional 2.3L Twin-Scroll Cylinder Head Conversion: For customers targeting approximately 700 WHP or higher, EMS offers a separate 2.3L twin-scroll cylinder head conversion package. This upgrade replaces the standard single-port cylinder head configuration and includes the necessary conversion accessories and selectable camshaft options. Explore the EMS 2.3L Twin-Scroll Cylinder Head Conversion (Product link to be added).
4. Rear Main Seal: Every EMS Badass Long Block includes a brand-new OEM rear main seal as part of the build process to ensure proper crankshaft sealing and long-term reliability. We also offer an optional MAP billet rear main seal upgrade upon request.
