Title: Hot little engine from Ford Post by: K6JEK on November 19, 2012, 03:59:13 PM Kind of a nice video on Ford's new tiny but powerful engine. I'm surprised there is anything more to squeeze out of traditional combustion engines.

Oh well, like me, maybe some of you hadn't seen this. As long as the topic is here, how about a little more recent info. They somehow got 202 horsepower out of it:' http://gas2.org/2012/11/19/ford-sends-1-0-liter-ecoboost-through-airport-security/ Title: Re: Hot little engine from Ford Post by: ke7trp on November 19, 2012, 08:16:03 PM Yep. Direct injection and small boost engines is the norm now. I have been getting 650 to 750hp out of 4cyls or years now. Its pretty common. I just tuned one at 744hp and 720 lb ft of trq. The customer drove it out 600 miles, then drove it home 600 miles and got 24mpg. Not bad. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
