laumk7 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 How do ford do it? I popped the bonnet this morning and had a look at my brand new engine and nearly popped an eyes octet with how fricking small the engine really is! Unbelievable power out of something so small too How the flip do ford do it? Is the eco boost type engine unique to ford as well?

troy45 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Losing a cylinder and chucking a turbo on there usually helps :p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisroberson99 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Well it is only a 1L 3cyl... It's always been said its the size of an A4 piece of paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 if you think thats powerfull, try one that been remapped!! other manufactures do simular engine size/turbo combo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy45 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 if you think thats powerfull, try one that been remapped!! other manufactures do simular engine size/turbo combo's Possible to get them up to 160bhp I was told while at Collins Performance recently, that may well have been with more than just a remap though. Something I wouldn't have thought of is that the engine note is quite unique too due to it having a cylinder missing ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Needless to say that Poxhall had 3 pot '' engines '' in C*rsa's in the late 90's with no turbo & they were gutless - Ford's ecoboost is light years ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Suzuki also in the alto in 1980. And cappuchino in 1992 with turbo, 660cc , Ford engine bit of an improvement over these.ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 My mum and my grandad now both have the 1L ecoboost in different Fords. Great engine, amazing how hard it still pulled in my mum's Focus estate, with 5 adults and a full tank of fuel. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
