Default New Ford petrol engines with EcoBoost
This is a must see, it looks awesome... Using GTDi (Gasoline Turbo Direct injection) Ford are getting V6 power and torque out of small 4 cyl size, large V8 power and torque out of small V6 size.

Eg their 2.0 4 cyl petrol has 200kw/380Nm (more than the current 4L inline six)
3.5L V6 for next Explorer has 260kw/460Nm (same power and similar torque as current 5.4 V8) same power as quad cam, same torque as 2V

I wonder if the 5.8 and 6.2 Hurricane V8s will have the same technology?

This will be the biggest thing since common rail injection on the diesels.
As far as i know the V8's will get it too:

Later high-performance versions will be equipped with DOHC 4-valve heads and gasoline direct injection (GDI). A "TwinForce" 6.2 L DOHC 4-valve, twin-turbo, GDI version of the Boss is currently being developed and has reportedly produced over 650 ft·lbf (881 N·m) in initial testing.

As long as the TwinForce (= save the whales/EcoBoost) power is used for good!

Tell the greenies they can get the same power from a smaller engine with better economy, then give real drivers more bang for their buck - same capacity, same economy, more power - now you're talking!

What a lovely name. I would have preferred something less girly like "EcoBlosom" or "FlowerSpray".

Lets hope Ford Aus call them something else before they reaches our shores.


Whatever. I just hope the V8's get the same technology.

Then you would rather do something less painful than read the name ecoboost, like stick your dick in the oven ;)
