okey dokey

 

[Super_Flea]

Fuck yea, Ford.

 

[Arkaybee]

The engine ran for 300 hours straight, simulating 150,000 real-world miles, then dragged 110,000 lbs. So, how's it look?

The dual-overhead cam powerplant was shipped to dynamometer cell 36B in the Ford Dearborn engine labs and run for 3,000 hours to replicate the equivalent of 150,000 customer miles,

so which is it?

 

[Legendary]

so which is it?

probably the one where the engine is driving at 500 mph

 

[Arkaybee]

probably the one where the engine is driving at 500 mph

Fuck yea, as long as they can get the cost down on it

My fusion would be soooo fucking sick with that drivetrain

ecoboost is the next chevy 350 in terms of reliability

I'm sure it won't be long until we have a turbo Mustang.

 

[bursty]

A leakdown test was performed to measure how well the engine’s 24 intake and exhaust valves and piston rings were still able to seal the cylinders. One cylinder was found to have a cautionary 13 percent air loss past the combustion chamber’s seals, while all other cylinders were acceptable with single digits of air leakage.

Whoa there n!gga. Chevy 350 been proven in REAL WORLD where the ecoboost is proven in the lab, yea clearly the same.

365hp Fusion.

I test drove a Taurus SHO last week and that thing would destroy my Mustang. Same drivetrain in a smaller car would be

engine looks to be pretty damn impressive

I do agree with you, we will see how it holds up in the real world with time, not just miles.

However, they have ran numerous torture tests in the real world, not just a lab on this thing, and it has smiled and kept on going.

Maybe in the GT500.

I don't see an entry for an ecoboost Mustang making 365hp when the GT has 412.
