Fords New Motor


Not_Sean

Recommended Posts

Saw this posted up on another forum and found it really interesting. it's like an Inverted Boxer motor

 

Fords new 2.7L Three cylinder six piston two stroke yet?

 

270HP 480ft-lbs, 37mpg in an F150, 18.5:1 compression, a supercharger and a turbo

to be strictly accurate it's not a ford engine but designed by achates power and may also appear in a chevrolet !

will fans buy them ?

they are resistant to anything with less than 8 cylinders.

look at the dismal sales of the falcon turbo 4, mustang v6, camaro v6

 

this really is the golden age of the combustion engine.

along with the achates, innovative tech like the nissan variable compression and mazda's compression ignition petrol engines will keep petrol alive.

 

stuff your hybrids and ev's, it's a great time to be burning petrol !

 

:D

Depends on marketing.

Zero over head cam :D

twin charged

dual crank...

 

Lots of trucks are sold for being just a truck for farms or personal use or to companies as fleet vehicles so I'd say it will do ok.

it seems tall so trucks are a good starting point.

 

wonder what it sounds like?

Guess it'll be muffled so it can't annoy anyone. Like the tesla I'll have no soul.

 

 

Sounds just like the rotary all over again, accept no 10,000rpm scream

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
