Impressive effort. definatly a massive boost for an engine that is battling sceptisism. (large car 4 cylinder and the stench that has been "mined" by the media. and people with long memories.
Awaits ford shouting this from rooftops............... only crickets and tumbleweeds can be heard and seen... |

Well, since the Ecoboost is not available yet, that's not such a bad thing. If they don't advertise that fact when it's launched though we can be justifiably miffed.

But will the GM product have torque, or will it all be at 6750 rpm?

Yeah they've probably wound the boost up to some ridiculous level like 30 p.s.i. to get that power out of it and it'll self destruct with the usual piston slap and excessive oil consumption within the first year, you know, just the usual

11 psi I think.
As for the GM engine it will look pretty weedy when Ford do an RS version of the Ecoboost 4. |

Yeah that GM engine is a hi-po version of one that is already turboed etc, 160kw I think the "standard"" variant puts out
