does it just blow ... ( 7 months ago by jamiepayne3)

does it just blow air inwards hence having a turbo before combustion happens and then suck it out again like an ordinary single turbo would??

Turbos do not 'suck ... ( 6 months ago by JGMagoo)

Turbos do not 'suck' exhaust out. The exhaust side acts like a pinwheel (red), being driven by the energy in the exhaust. It does create 'some' backpressure. But this energy drives the compressor side(blue) which is like a fan, which forces additional air into the engine. The additional power created by the additional air more than makes up for the slight amount of power lost due to increased backpressure and driving the (red) turbine.

oh ok thankyou, that kinda makes more sense than how i was viewing it in my mind. cheers

the point of ... ( 6 months ago by markbakovic)

the point of EcoBoost seems to be combining a turbo with direct fuel injection, rather than just turbocharging a smaller engine than american customers are used to, to give not only the same power and lower emissions/fuel consumption, but also improve low-rpm response, a traditional weakness of turbo engines versus large-displacement natural aspiration. despite ford's marketing, the technology is only new to ford: any audi turbo with the letters "FSI" has worked like this for the past 5 years.

I don't think ... ( 5 months ago by coolgeek123)

I don't think there's supposed to be a difference. They're just trying to emphasize on hooking up a turbocharger with the EcoBoost to let people know that it will have more power and fuel economy. Also, it's good to know how one works too.

Mark has it, the ... ( 5 months ago by flyboy333)

Mark has it, the direct injection that is curiously not shown means that more boost and leaner mixtures/advance can be run due to the cooling effect of the injection. Its pretty cool that an American company is finally implementing turbos to increase efficiency on a wide scale. I'm no fan of the US auto industry, but bravo Ford.

We're not going to ... ( 4 months ago by a1mint)

We're not going to be able to save any substantial amount of fuel with ecoboost are we? It's again just about power and not about economy at all. Same bullshit over and over by these loser domestic companies.

Ok looks like regular turbo system to me. This is a stupid commercial. Re-inveting the wheel?? I think so. Hey lets re-name a the supercharger to "EcoCharger while we are at it.

What? It's just a normal turbocharger! I don't see anything different.

Don't forget the Probe GT. MMUC made their engines and IHI the turbochargers. (Auto Alliance Inc. formerly MMUC)

It's direct ... ( 2 months ago by jizzmonger)

It's direct injected and turbocharged.
A Turbocharged 4.0 V6 making 300 horsepower uses less fuel than a 5.4 V8 making 300 horsepower.

i highly doubt that ... ( 2 months ago by joealfreto)

i highly doubt that makes sense otherwise america would have caught on a long time ago.
a turbo stuffs more air int he engine so more fuel can be burnt so more power can be aquired per stroke. so its the same amount of fuel burning to give 300HP in a 4.0l engine and a 5.4L engine.. i think the biggest savings will be in the power to weight aspect. a 5.4L engine will be heavier than a 4.0L wouldn't it. more weight = more fuel needed to move the car

This isn't News. ... ( 2 months ago by jizzmonger)

This isn't News. Why do you think new engines have features where they can cancel cylinders at low load?
A smaller displacement engine operating at higher load is more efficient than a larger engine operating at low load. The Turbochargers allows you to use a smaller displacement engine to maintain fuel efficiency but maintain the advantages of more displacement which is more power.

EcoCharger? ...Nothing but marketing hype over pre-existing and old technologies.

RIP ford.. just ... ( 1 month ago by tbond86)

RIP ford.. just more of the reason they need to just be let the hell go. all marketing. it's a reg turbo with intercooler, the Japanese have been bussing fords ass for years with um.

Array ( 1 month ago by cerealsufle)

blah blah blah
basically
non turbo=chyeah whatever
turbo=fassttaaa!!
ok if u rock up to a mates place wod u rather a 5.4l V8..or a 4.0l V6?????
who gives a shti about fuel the planet can go fuck itself if it doesnt like it
greanpeace can lick my arse

yeah but like..a tiny breeze adds 0.0000000000000000003 more horsepower
so u just HAVE to pay shit hole ford another few grand

Look closer and you ... ( 3 weeks ago by vais3)

Look closer and you will see that BMW FORD and many others doing this oh and you missed the most critical part tboned86 its direct injection. They inject gasoline into the cylinder the same way they've been injecting diesel for years its a huge leap in gas engine technology since the down draft and side draft carbs of the early 1900s.

Heh, nothing ... ( 3 weeks ago by kjaks)

Heh, nothing revolutionary about that. Throw in a turbo and a compressor and use a small displacement 4-cylinder engine. That's just what VW has done.

Germans have used ... ( 2 weeks ago by dannyboy485)

Germans have used direct injection for years, FSI is pretty good example;high power output with lower emissions. VW TSI units have shown that high power can be extracted from very small engines. Has anyone in the US ever seen a 4 cylinder 1.4 litre engine?let alone one that makes 180 hp(new seat) Ford is a dying dinosaur,old technology and slow progress is why its going under! I think the US needs to think hard about developing smaller,fuel efficient cars.Their more fun anyway

wow bright idea, oh ... ( 1 week ago by Boxin4)

wow bright idea, oh wait to late considering that part of why GM,Ford, and Chrysler is going under. we want more small displacement cars that are fuel efficent and still fun and comfy. GM though got the best MPG from a V8 i've seen though with 29mpg hwy 22-24mpg average with the 04gto and about the same in a 6spd firebird/camaro. don't see many V8's getting 18-29mpg or 18-28mpg like gm does
