One thing I still haven't seen is a definitive explanation of the cam belt, oil pump belt, cam chain and gear driven oil pump situation. I haven't come up with anything that clearly states which system is used in the MPC engine.
Google is your friend:
“Improvements to Ford's MPC engines include dual injection (port and direct) for better cleaning, a more efficient turbocharger, a redesigned EGR system, and a more robust construction to address past issues. These upgrades result in increased fuel mileage, improved...
...currently trying to find out all I can about my 2025 Bronco Sport. The current interest is in the engine. From what I can tell based on internet wisdom is, that the dragon engine is gone and has been replaced by the MPC. Is that correct? Also, what are the changes that were made to make it an...
...1.5L does not use hydraulic engine mounts on the driver or passenger side. I am not sure about 21-24 2.0L. Maybe someone can check on your 2025 MPC engines for the type of mount.
Engine mounts fail quite often. There is a lot of stress on the mounts of a transverse mounted engine/transmission.
Although my '25 has the new MPC, aka Dragon B, engine, I park mine outside JIC.
Can anyone recommend an interior fire extinguisher and mount for the BS, preferably mounts to the seat bolts or rails without modifications?
I've read over on the 6g forum the Element extinguishers are the way to go.
Yes, Ford started using the 2.0L MPC engines in the 23 model year Escape. My 23 Escape with the 2.0L engine had issues of what felt like harsh re-engaging of the transmission after the engine turned back on on from being off at a stop. There was a delay in the car moving forward. It was a...
...All were good cars. The dealer is a big part of any decision. I am considering an Escape again. I don't need the offroad capability anymore of the Sport.
I'm not brand loyal myself so I'll do some foot work before making a decision.
Does anyone know if the 2.0L MPC engine is in the 2024 Escape?
I was wrong. You're all right! The 1.5L use of port injection apparently goes all the way back to 2017. There are YouTube videos out there that erroneously introduce the 1.5L MPC engine as first including port injection; perhaps that's where I jumped the track?
Curious, I pulled up the specs for my '24 1.5L OBX and it clearly states Direct Injection and Port Fuel Injection. The 2.0 is Direct only.

The '24 1.5L...
...All he had to work with were injectors. He never saw port injection, because there wasn't any. Again: the Dragon variant didn't have port injection: it was not available in the Bronco Sport until 2025 (or in the Escape until 2023) as a feature of the new MPC 1.5L. I have both in my family.
I think you're right regarding his assertion that there port injection on the Dragon variant: there wasn't port injection until the MPC came along for 2025. Perhaps this is because he could only see the intake ports on the head, and everything else had been stripped off.
...engines in both the 1.5 and 2.0 flavor. I currently have a 2.0 Escape and it’s honestly a wonderful engine. It’s the latest and greatest MPC engine (available on all 2025 Bronco Sports) and has been great so far. I personally would always choose to get the most you can when you can so I vote...
