TTV6 "ecoBoost" Coming to the F150...
« on: May 23, 2010, 02:33:51 PM »

It looks like they scrapped the diesel F150 for this.  I'm pumped and hope it makes it into the Raptor but I'm not holding my breath.  Big turbos and tune would do wonders...

The "Eco" in the "ecoboost" name killed  it for me.  What does that mean?  It boosts the ecology or the environment?  Does it seeds the soil as it goes or actively purifies air around somehow?  Otherwise what does it actively boost?  If anything it boosts HP... Cool

What's wrong with twin turbo?  I think there was a Taurus a couple years ago with a silly renaming like that.  Double Energy?  Don't recall what was it. 

What's next?  Mustang Ecoboost?  Yeah, that will sell a lot.   Maybe their marketing genius will call a two door pickup a coupe too...hey, it's two doors!   laugh


Having said that, I'd love to see more non-diesel trucks and big SUVs with turbo.  But they should aim for performance and stick to V-8s, IMHO.

eco boost is kind of like boost, but "green"
just a small amount to get more power out of 3.5L
Naming is not the best, but idea is great
It'll have power of V8 with V6 mpg
Everyone is "boosting" latelly, good thing IMO

And even better news is that they ganked the brains behind volvo who have been building turbos for years to head up the project.  I totally agree that the marketing is way off.  Keep the "ecoboost" on the fiesta and focus.  With these numbers its pretty equal to the new 5.0 which will probably keep it out of the Mustang, at least without de-tuning.
