General Car Discussion

I need a vomit bag..... Saw like 12 Ricers today. Worst two were a Lancer with this huge wing, and a stanced Mustang.

 

What's your opinions on Ecoboost cars?

 

Theyre absolutely fine for everyday

 

I guess it's Ford experimenting for new engines for models, like for example the Mustang.

 

My guess is that theyre going to replace every other i4 engine with the ecoboost 3 and 4 cylinders

 

If not, it's probably a Mustang-exclusive engine.

 

Here in europe they already use them in every ford we have here from ford except the mustang v8 so theyre going to do the same in america

 

Sounds like revolutionary engineering for Ford then, if every car is gonna be using the Ecoboost engine. (Atleast in Europe.)

 

Its just a new generation of engine wich succeeds the zetec and every normal i4 it doesnt do anything new its just alot more efficient than the older ones

 

I'd prefer it Mustang-exclusive, considering that it was the first (atleast from what I see) car to use the Ecoboost, and that it actually works as a variant to the model.

 

Isnt the focus rs available in the us? Or the focus and fiesta if yes than they too have the ecoboost

 

Yes, the Focus and Focus RS are available here. Not the Fiesta, but I think that we might have a different version of the Ecoboost.

 

The focus rs has nearly the same engine as the mustang

 

Probably the Ecosport, which shares the prefix Eco-.

 

The ecosport is a crossover over here but the ecoboost is used in nearly all current fords with four cylinders in the us and in europe

 

Ecoboost is just a thing that means turbo, there's many models of ecoboost and they've been on the roads for about a decade. The Mustang motor is also in the focus RS with boost turned up and larger intercooler

The 1.0 ecoboost is in the focus in the US and it's a 3 cylinder. A few of the American ford trucks have 6 cylinder ecoboost motors.

Ecoboost for ford just means turbo

 

That explains why it uses "boost" in the name, it's a synonym for turbo. I wouldn't say that it needs to be the main engine of Ford, but it still seems like a good enough engine that I would daily with one.

 

I don't think the 1.0 is available in the Focus, just in the Fiesta ST.

 

I'm sure that the 2018 Fiesta ST will have the Ecoboost engine.

 

Nope, it is. Here in the US, we got the 1.0 SFE Focus and 1.0 SFE Fiesta. I almost traded my Mustang for a Fiesta SFE. Almost.
