The New Ford Ecoboost Engine

	Ford EcoBoost Engine Technology: More with Less The all-new engine delivers better fuel economy and reduced emissions as well as improved performance and engine refinement gives it a cool all its own. With an estimated, class-leading 355 horsepower, the 2010 Ford Taurus with EcoBoost is expected to deliver best-in-class highway fuel economy of 25 mpg. The EcoBoost direct injection system precisely delivers a fine mist of fuel directly into each cylinder for optimal performance, economy and emissions. Unlike port-fuel-injection (PFI) engines that spray fuel in the intake system, the direct injection system puts the fuel exactly where it needs to be for combustion.
Direct fuel injection is one of the key enabling technologies of Ford’s EcoBoost strategy to deliver advancements in fuel economy of up to 20 percent without sacrificing the performance customers want. Paired with turbocharging, direct injection gives the new 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine in the Ford Taurus the power and torque of a 4.6-liter V-8 with the fuel economy of a V-6. Direct injection uses high-pressure fuel injectors to spray a fine mist of fuel directly into each cylinder. This precisely controlled fuel delivery improves the engine’s transient response, contributes to improved fuel economy and enables improved emissions, particularly at cold start. The EcoBoost engine reduces CO2 emissions by 15 percent. Like the spray from an atomizer bottle one might use to keep cool in the summer, the fine mist generated by each solenoid-controlled injector’s six tiny outlet holes helps to create a well-mixed air-fuel mixture. It also cools the incoming air, helping to reduce the potential for engine knock.
The EcoBoost system is part of Ford’s commitment to deliver the best fuel economy in each new vehicle. The new 3.5-liter engine is the first in a wave of EcoBoost engines coming as part of Ford’s strategy to bring affordable fuel efficiency improvements to millions. By 2013, more than 90 percent of Ford’s North American lineup will be available with EcoBoost technology. To learn more about the EcoBoost Engine Contact us at Texas Motors Ford
