New ecoboost V6..

Postby ebxr8240 » November 4th, 2009, 6:48 pm

I was looking at the new twin turbo V6 engine today at Sema.. I would say there would be mods done to exhaust manifolds as the std
are fairly bassic with no tuneing and very small to turbo's..[I guess room restrictions ??? is the reason }
I asked the Ford head engineer if there was any issues with these engines in testing them in high rpm ..
Said all the durability testing, the bottom end didn't have any issues..
Said if anything if valve springs where made heavier duty and higher rpm there would be valve train issues ..
But I stress thats when pushed bloody hard, way beyond normal conditions..
Have pics of cut away engine and direct injection heads...

The falcon was gping to get this (well. XR6 and F6 got the twinboost)...but the I6 lives on...Hopefully it will get di...Imagine a Direct injection 4L turbo!!!

The 4 banger that is going into the falcon next year is an EcoBoost engine aswell ...
