1.0-Liter Three-Cylinder EcoBoost Engine Being Dropped from Ford Fiesta in the U.S. As the Fiesta sits on death row, it loses an engine option for the States. Mar 13, 2017  The Fiesta ST's new 1.5-liter engine, featuring an aluminum head and block, replaces the 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbo in the current Fiesta ST, which is also rated at 197 hp. Ford says the 1.5. Sep 02, 2014  I blitz the onramp, strafe the long line of traffic stacking up in the inside lane, and go for fourth. The meaty little 1.0-liter triple in the nose of the 2014 Ford Fiesta SFE quits its barking.

EcoBoost is a series of turbocharged, direct-injectiongasoline engines produced by Ford and originally co-developed by German company FPV Engineering and Mazda. The Ecoboost 2L and 2.3L are Ford turbocharged derivatives of the Mazda L engine. EcoBoost engines are designed to deliver power and torque consistent with those of larger-displacement (cylinder volume), naturally aspirated engines, while achieving about 30% better fuel efficiency and 15% fewer greenhouse emissions, according to Ford. The manufacturer sees the EcoBoost technology as less costly and more versatile than further developing or expanding the use of hybrid and diesel engine technologies. EcoBoost engines are broadly available across Ford's vehicle lineup.[5]

Production: global family[edit]

EcoBoost gasoline direct-injection turbocharged engine technology adds 128 patents and patent applications to Ford's 4,618 active and thousands of pending US patents.[6] Some of the costs of US development and production were assisted by the $5.9 billion Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan ProgramDepartment of Energy loan.[7]

The V6 EcoBoost engines are being assembled at Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1 in Brook Park, Ohio.[8] The 2.0 L I4 EcoBoost engines will be produced at the Ford Valencia Plant in Spain in 2009.[9] The 1.6 L I4 EcoBoost engines will be made at the Ford Bridgend Engine Plant in the United Kingdom.[9] The smaller 1000cc displacement 3 cylinder EcoBoost engine is produced both at Ford Germany in Cologne and at Ford Romania in Craiova.[9]

By 2012, the company plans to produce 750,000 EcoBoost units annually in the US and 1.3 million globally in the world market. Ford expected over 90% of its global vehicle lineup (includes North America) to offer EcoBoost engine technology by 2013.[9][10] From the engine's beginning to November 2012, 500,000 Ford EcoBoost vehicles have been sold.[11]

Marketing: PTDi[edit]

Volvo used the term PTDi (petrol turbocharged direct injection) for the 1.6 L I4 engine when introducing Volvo S60 concept[12] and for the 2.0 L I4 engine when introducing Volvo XC60.[13]

Inline three-cylinder[edit]

1.0 L Fox[edit]

Ford produces a 1.0 L turbocharged in-line three-cylinder engine for the EcoBoost family developed at Ford's Dunton Technical Centre in the UK. Production started in April 2012. The 1.0 is built initially in two versions: 74 kW (101 PS; 99 hp) and 88 to 92 kW (120 to 125 PS; 118 to 123 hp).

The more powerful version delivers a maximum of 170 N⋅m (130 lbf⋅ft) from 1,400 to 4,500 rpm and 200 N⋅m (150 lbf⋅ft) on overboost, which makes for a broad torque curve when compared to a naturally aspirated gasoline engine. A 140 PS (100 kW; 140 hp) version has also been released in the Fiesta Red Edition and Black Edition, with 210 N⋅m (155 lb⋅ft) of torque. The engine block is cast iron, which offers, in addition to the required strength, up to 50% faster warm-up than aluminum, at the expense of additional weight.[15][16]

To quell the natural vibrations of a three-cylinder design, unspecified efforts have been made in the flywheel design to ensure satisfactorily smooth running without the use of energy sapping balance shafts.

The engine is packaged in an engine block with a footprint the size of an A4 sheet of paper.[17] With the introduction of the face-lifted 2013 Ford Fiesta, Ford introduced a naturally aspirated version of 1.0 Fox engine. The two versions produce 65 hp and 80 hp, and both engines use direct injection and Ti-VCT like the turbocharged versions. Start-stop technology is also available.

The engines are produced in Cologne, Germany, and Craiova, Romania, and Chongqing, China. Production is expected to be 700,000–1,500,000 units per year. The engine is available in Ford Focus, the Ford Focus-based C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, Ford Fiesta, the Fiesta-based B-Max, and Transit Courier.[18] This version is also available in the second-generation Ford Ecosport manufactured and sold in Brazil, India, Thailand, and Russia, although in some markets, this vehicle comes with the 2.0 L EcoBoost engine.

Ford has announced that the 1.0 L EcoBoost engine will be available for the American market starting with the all-new 2014 Ford Fiestasedan and hatchback. It was announced at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show, when the 2014 Fiesta was introduced. The 123-hp version is now available in the North American market Focus starting with model year 2015. The engine is said to account for just less than 5 percent of Fiesta and Focus sales in the U.S., according to a 2017 report.[19] In the latest run of events, the 1.0 L engine was awarded the International Engine of Year Award 2016, making it the Best Engine Under 1.0 L for the fifth time in a row.[20]

In 2017 Ford was again awarded International Engine of Year (for Engines Under 1.0 L) with an almost completely reconfigured version of the Ecoboost 1.0. Although thermodynamically similar to the old Ecoboost 1.0, the new engine features cylinder deactivation under low-load conditions. A new dual-mass flywheel and a vibration-damping clutch disc help neutralise engine oscillations when running on two cylinders.[21] Production started in 2018.

1.5 L Dragon [edit]

On 24 February 2017, as part of the unveiling of the seventh generation (Mk8 - UK) derived Fiesta ST, Ford announced an all-new aluminum inline 3-cylinder 1.5 L EcoBoost engine with cylinder deactivation technology.[22] The version of this engine announced for the Fiesta ST produces 200 PS (150 kW; 200 hp) at 6,000 rpm and delivers 290 N⋅m (210 lbf⋅ft) of torque from 1,600 to 4,000 rpm.[23]

The engine is based on an expansion of the 1.0 EcoBoost, taking the capacity per cylinder up to 500cc which Ford consider is likely to be the maximum for optimum thermal efficiency.[24] The engine is an all-aluminum design with integrated exhaust manifold, low inertia mixed flow turbocharger and combines both port fuel injection and direct fuel injection.

The engine will be available with cylinder deactivation technology, implemented by stopping fuel delivery and valve operation for one of the engine's cylinders in conditions where full capacity is not needed.

Inline four-cylinder[edit]

Four EcoBoost I4 engines are in production. A 1.5 L downsized version of the 1.6 L, the 1.6 L which replaces larger-displacement, naturally aspirated I4 engines in Ford vehicles, a 2.0 L which replaces small-displacement, naturally aspirated V6 engines, and a 2.3 L used in high-performance applications. All four engines are turbocharged and direct injected. The production engine family was officially announced at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.[25]

1.5 L [edit]

A 1.5 L version of the EcoBoost engine family was first unveiled in the 2014 Ford Fusion as a downsized version of the 1.6 L EcoBoost engine.[26] The downsized displacement is a result of Chinese vehicle tax regulations which tax vehicles with engine displacements of 1.5 L or less at lower rates. The 1.5 L EcoBoost adds new technology compared to the 1.6 L on which it is based, including an integrated exhaust manifold and a computer-controlled water pump clutch to decrease warm up time. In the 2015 Fusion, the engine produces 181 hp (135 kW; 184 PS) and 185 lb ft .

  • 2015 - Ford Focus
  • 2015 - Ford C-Max

1.6 L [edit]

A 1.6 L version was first unveiled in the 2009 Lincoln C concept. The engine is rated at 178 hp (133 kW; 180 PS) and 180 lb⋅ft (244.0 N⋅m).[27]

The European market version of the 1.6 L provides 150 hp (112 kW; 152 PS), although a 160 hp (119 kW; 162 PS) version is used in the Ford Mondeo.

The 1.6 L EcoBoost engine is raced in the British Formula Ford Championship. The units have replaced the original N/A 1.6 L Duratec units, which in turn replaced the 1.8 L Zetec-engined cars. The engine has also been used for the past few seasons in the WRC in the Ford Fiesta.

The 1.6 L EcoBoost engine is also produced at the Ford Bridgend Engine Plant in Bridgend, Wales.

Safety and recalls[edit]

In 2013, Ford has recalled certain Ford Escapes equipped with this engine due to the potential for them to catch fire after overheating.[28]

In 2017, Ford recalled over 360,000 Ford Escape, Ford Fiesta ST, Ford Fusion, Ford Transit Connect, Ford Focus and C-Max hybrid with 1.6 ecoboost engines because of a risk of engine fires caused by a 'lack of coolant circulation'. There were 29 fires in the U.S. and Canada reported to Ford. The recall partly contributed to a charge of US$300 million by Ford.[29][30]

2.0 L (2010–2015)[edit]

A 2.0 L version was first seen in the 2008 Ford Explorer America concept.[31] The engine was rated at 275 hp (205 kW; 279 PS) and 280 lb⋅ft (380 N⋅m).

It is the first EcoBoost engine to include twin independent variable cam timing (Ti-VCT), with advertised 10–20% better fuel economy while maintaining the performance of 3.0 L V6s.[32][33]

This engine is derived from the 2.0 L Mazda L engine block used by Ford in the North American Focus MK3, but equipped with unique heads, fuel injection system, and Ford's Ti-VCT. It should not be confused with the Mazda 2.3 DISI Turbo, which also features direct injection along with turbocharging, but shares little else aside from the same engine block.

The 2.0 L EcoBoost engine used in North American vehicles is now produced at the Cleveland engine plant in Brookpark, Ohio.

2.7 L Nano [edit]

Introduced with the 2015 Ford F-150 is a twin-turbo 2.7 L V6 EcoBoost engine. It delivers 325 hp (242 kW) and 375 lb⋅ft (508 N⋅m).[57] The engine is built at the Lima Ford Engine Plant.[58] Ford has invested US$500 million in the Lima plant for the new engine. Ford also states that the new engine will bring 300 jobs to Allen County, Ohio,[59] but transfers from other plants make the actual number hard to pin down. A 335-hp version is to be an option on the 2017 Lincoln Continental. Being a next-generation design, it uses compacted graphite iron, a material Ford uses in its 6.7 L PowerStroke diesel engine.

2.7 L Nano (second generation)[edit]

The second generation 2.7L EcoBoost V6 is being introduced with the 2018 Ford F-150 and is mated to a 10-speed transmission that debuted the year prior. It produces an additional 25 lb⋅ft (34 N⋅m) of torque over the first generation. The engine uses a compacted-graphite iron (CGI) block, which is both high strength and lightweight.

It boasts a number of changes from the first generation, with many carrying over from the second generation 3.5L EcoBoost engine that arrived a year earlier in the F-150. The most prominent change being the addition of port fuel injection, while keeping the direct injection system. It also has reduced internal friction to improve power and fuel economy, and new exhaust gas recirculation system.[62] The specific output of the engine is now 121 hp/L, versus the 395-hp Ford Coyote 5.0L naturally aspirated V-8 which has a specific output of only 78 hp/L. The peak torque matches the 5.0L V-8, albeit at a lower 2,750 rpm vs. 4,500 rpm for the V-8.

Additional changes include a new lightweight cam to save weight, dual-chain cam drive system that is stronger and reduces parasitic friction loss, a new electrically actuated wastegate that provides more accurate turbo boost control, a high-pressure exhaust gas recirculation system, and a variable-displacement oil pump that is electronically controlled to modulate oil flow to further reduce parasitic losses.[63]

Applications[edit]

  • 325 hp (242 kW) at 5000 rpm, 400 lb⋅ft (542 N⋅m) at 2750 rpm
    • 2018– Ford F-150

3.0 L [edit]

A 3 L V6 twin-turbocharged gasoline direct-injection engine, derived from the 2.7 L EcoBoost, was released in 2016 that produces between 350 and 400 horsepower. Currently, the 3.0 L is mostly exclusive to the Lincoln line-up to include the MKZ (which replaces the 3.7 L Ti-VCT Cyclone V6 engine the previous year), the Continental, and the upcoming 2020 Aviator and Ford Explorer. The engine offers Dynamic Torque Vectoring with available AWD in selected models.

The 3.0-liter version of the engine was created by increasing the 2.7-liter's cylinder bore from 83.0 millimeters to 85.3, and by lengthening piston stroke by 3.0 millimeters (to 86.0). It also drops the 2.7-liter's compacted-graphite iron main block in favor of cast aluminum.[64]

3.5 L [edit]

The first Ford vehicle to feature this engine was the 2007 Lincoln MKRconcept vehicle under the name TwinForce.[65] The engine was designed to deliver power and torque output equivalent to a typical 6.0 L or larger-displacement V8 while achieving at least 15% better fuel efficiency and reduced greenhouse emissions. In the MKR, the concept TwinForce engine was rated at 415 hp (309 kW) and 400 lb⋅ft (542 N⋅m) of torque, as well as run on E85 fuel.[66] When the same prototype engine reappeared in the Lincoln MKT concept in 2008 North American International Auto Show, the name was changed to EcoBoost. Official EcoBoost production began on May 19, 2009 at Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1.

The production engines use the Duratec 35 V6 engine block. The fuel charging and delivery systems can attain high fuel pressures up to 2150 psi, necessary for efficient operation of the direct fuel injection system. The F-series EcoBoost 3.5L V6 uses two BorgWarner K03 turbochargers which can spin up to 170,000 rpm and provide up to 15 psi of boost. The transverse EcoBoost 3.5L V6 uses two Garrett GT1549L turbochargers and provides up to 11 psi of boost. The turbos are set up in a twin-turbo configuration. The engine can consume up to 25% more air over the naturally aspirated counterpart. Through the use of direct injection, the engine needs only regular-grade gasoline to run. The EcoBoost V6 was first available as an engine option for 2010 Lincoln MKS, followed by 2010 Ford Flex, 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and 2010 Lincoln MKT.[67] The fuel-charging and -delivery systems were co-developed with Robert Bosch GmbH.[68]

In 2009, Ford modified an experimental 3.5 L V6 EcoBoost engine with both E85 direct injection and gasoline indirect fuel injection, which achieved a brake mean effective pressure of 395 psi (27 bar), which translates to roughly 553 pound-feet (750 N⋅m) of torque and 316 horsepower (236 kW) at 3000 rpm (flat torque curve from 1500–3000 rpm).[69]

3.5L D35 (second generation) [edit]

The second generation 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (codename D35) was introduced for the 2017 Ford GT, revealed at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in January, as well as the 2017 F-150, 2018 Expedition and 2018 Navigator.[78] It produces up to 647 hp (482 kW) [79] paired with a seven-speed semiautomatic transmission. This engine theoretically replaces the 5.4 L supercharged modular V8 from the last generation Ford GT. The GT was on an 11-year hiatus and returned in 2016 for the 2017 model year.

Also announced at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show was the 2017 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, which is powered by an all-new 3.5 L twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6.[80] This new engine will produce 450 horsepower in the Raptor, up from the previous 6.2-L V8's 411.

The same second-generation 3.5L V6 is replacing the first-generation engine in the 2017 F-150 line-up. It will be standard on the F-150 Limited and remain an optional upgrade for other trim levels. Paired with the second-generation 3.5L EcoBoost V6 is the new 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission that was co-designed with GM. This new transmission will be outfitted on all second-generation 3.5L V6 EcoBoost F-150s. The 10-speed will be exclusive to the 3.5L EcoBoost engine in F-150s for the 2017 model year.

Changes from previous generation[edit]

The most prominent change is the addition of port fuel injection, while keeping the direct injectors. The port fuel injection was partly added due to the fuel output needs on the 3.5L HO Raptor engine, but also has several benefits for the 3.5L EcoBoost. It will prevent buildup on the intake valves and keep them clean due to fuel passing over the valves. Under certain engine conditions such as low rpm and low loads the high-pressure fuel pump and direct injection system will turn off and the engine will only use the port fuel injection, reducing efficiency losses due to the HPFP. Both systems will operate at cold start, which will reduce emissions that direct injection suffers to due to cold cylinder walls and lower fuel atomization.

Turbocharger changes include electronically actuated wastegates, turbine wheels now made with lighter Mar-M-247 super-alloy increasing responsiveness, and the same 51 mm turbine wheels but with sharper vane angles allowing boost to be increased by 2.5 psi (0.17 bar) up to 16 psi (1.1 bar) max. The turbochargers continue to be supplied by Borg Warner.

The cam drive system changed from a single primary chain to a stronger two primary chain system with separate chains driving each cylinder bank. In addition to dual primary chains, the side plates on the chains were also thickened. The cam chain drive sprocket on the crankshaft is a double gear arrangement to drive the two primary chains. These two changes were done to improve the harmonics, and are also stronger to help minimize the chain stretch that occurs over time on the 1st generation 3.5L EcoBoost.

The camshafts were made hollow for weight savings, along with the addition of a roller-finger follower valvetrain. The compression ratio was increased from 10.0:1 to 10.5:1 (except on the 3.5L EcoBoost HO for the Raptor, which remains at 10.0:1).

The camshaft VCT (phaser) design was also changed to improve reliability and reduce the development of a tapping noise over time.

Ford kept a single piston oil squirter per cylinder, but the oil volume was increased. The underside of the pistons were also redesigned to better transfer heat into oil from the new oil squirters.

The engine also features auto start/stop, which decreases emissions during city driving by shutting the engine off in extended idling periods.

The engines are also 4 lb (1.8 kg) lighter than the previous 3.5L EcoBoost.[81]

At 123 horsepower, Ford's 1.0-liter Ecoboost Fiesta already develops an impressive output for its diminutive size.

That it does so while delivering entertaining handling and perhaps most importantly, a 36 mpg combined rating (31 mpg city, 43 mpg highway) is even better.

But Ford's powertrain engineers have seen fit to boost the little Ecoboost even further, resulting in the 138-horsepower Fiesta Red and Black editions.

Unfortunately, it's Europe-only. For now at least--there's little in theory stopping Ford offering the engine on American shores.

Changes to the engine amount to different valve timings, a little more boost from the turbocharger, an upgraded intercooler and changes to the throttle map.

Otherwise, it's largely the same engine as that already found in the Fiesta, and soon the Focus.

It doesn't lose a great deal to the less powerful models in terms of economy either. The Red Edition and Black Edition's official European combined figure of 52.3 mpg is about 2.5 mpg shy of its less potent counterparts, or a four percent drop.

Shave four percent off the Fiesta's EPA rating and the car would manage 34.5 mpg--within a margin of error out on the road.

Driving it

We tried the car on a brief route around Goodwood in the U.K., where the annual Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival and all manner of horse racing events are held.

The roads are narrow, bumpy and punctuated by sharp corners--all scenarios in which the regular Fiesta excels.

The boosted 1.0-liter is also a perfect match, with the same linear power delivery as the 123-horsepower car but greater urge between the gears.

Like U.S. 3-cylinder Fiestas, the Red and Black editions come with a standard five-speed manual transmission, which slots cleanly between ratios and encourages you to make the most of the car's performance.

Keep your right foot pinned and slice between gears as quickly as possible, and the Fiesta will reach 62 mph in nine seconds.

It's also easy to drive the car sedately, if needs be--if not approaching the optimistic European figures, it's certainly possible to get within a hair of EPA numbers.

Three-cylinder engines never sound like they're working as hard as four-cylinder counterparts, so one needs to fight the instinct to hold onto gears longer than is necessary--changes can be made relatively early, encouraged by a still-standard gearchange indicator in the gauge cluster.

And the 138-horsepower car cruises just as nicely as the standard car. The firmer suspension introduces a few more bumps to the driver, but it's a fair trade-off for the extra grip in turns, and the car's exhaust note--despite its sporty pretensions--is surprisingly muted.

The styling less so. The current Fiesta is a love-or-hate design, and painted red with black accents or black with red, it remains an acquired taste.

Same goes for the interior, which features a similar color scheme and forces you to deal with the same complicated dashboard facia and tiny sat-nav screen as any other Fiesta.

Europe-only

In the U.K, the Red and Black Editions are priced at £15,995. Conversion is unnecessary--European and U.S. prices rarely tally--but that figure is only a little more than well-specified versions of the lesser-powered Ecoboost cars.

As such, it may tempt some to trade up--enjoying similar economy but extra performance from the tiny three-pot engine.

For those looking for performance more than economy though, it may not be enough to defer a switch to the near-200 horsepower Fiesta ST with its larger 1.6-liter Ecoboost engine, which retails for only £2,000 more.

The 138-hp Ecoboost is fun and frugal though--and we hope it doesn't stay a 'forbidden fruit' for too long...
