Ford - Engine - EcoBoost Family Prior Blog Posts by Date This is a subset of Ford Motor Corporation topics, pertaining solely to the engines known by the marketing term "EcoBoost". This marketing grouping consists of otherwise unrelated 4 and 6 cylinder engines. They share variable valve timing, direct injection, and turbocharging technologies - all to the the point of providing economy, emissions, and performance from less displacement and cylinders. The family was originally known as "TwinForce".

Friday, April 11, 2008    Meet the new Ford Ecoboost twin-turbo V-6   Meet the new Ford EcoBoost twin-turbo DOHC V-6 engine. Follow the link in the title of this post above and select the "EcoBoost" section. Press releases, and several technical high-res images are available. Note the EcoBoost blog category I've set up to highlight EcoBoost topics. Click on the image to the right for just one of several high-res images showing parts of the engine in great detail. This interesting new engine will be available in 2009 in the Lincoln MKS and MKT, the Ford Flex, the new F-150, and the 2010 Taurus (SHO?).  It only makes 340-350 HP, and it's not intercooled. But it does make ~340 torque and the torque curve is very flat. It's been shown and discussed only with a 6-speed automatic at this point, although further transmissions are a possibility. Although Ford is not talking any further details, it's interesting to note that Ford has started to use a new automated manual dual-clutch 6-speed transmission in Europe behind a meager 4-cylinder engine. An advanced and much higher capacity version of that same type of transmission (although from Getrag) is used in the new Mitsubisho Evo X MR - and it's rated there at 340 torque. That'd make a nice SHO transmission!
