Thats pretty good, would be interesting if it can match the 88KW the Fiesta makes naturally aspirated from its 1.6L 4 cylinder engine.
No doubt this will be banned in some states for P platers. |

I had a smart fortwo 1L turbo it made 65rwkw stock and was fast (no ********, faster 0-80 than my v8 soarer) but it was thirsty for a little bugger
Something different about driving a triple, not bad but I prefer a 4cyl |

looks like a good idea. volkswagon has had success with its turbo/super charged 1.4L.
Lots of efficent power can be made from small engines, just ask my mid 80s motorcyle that is .75L and makes 64kw because it can rev to 10,000rpm. in a car it would suck a lot of fuel, but a modern ecoboost unit would not. Ecoboost is a great platform, it will deliver high technology turbo engines to the masses without increasing costs because it will be so mass produced, im looking forward to it. |

There are rumours around that this type of motor could form the basis of the new Formula Ford replacement engine. Formula Ford started with the Kent and then Zetec / duratec engine. If they stop production of the duratec then they'll be looking for a new one and a turbo diesel varient of the ecoboost has been mentioned.
