Ecoboost making BIG numbers.

[TurboDave]

This guy is making some big numbers on his stock block Ecoboost Flex!!!!!!
Took some serious fuel delivery mods to get there, but man, 600hp and 650tq!!

Direct injection has its advantages and disadvantages. I believe the disadvantages will be short lived though. It works great but the aftermarket support isn't there like with traditional fuel injectors. Those guys are putting in auxiliary fuel systems to get around not having better parts to replace the factory stuff. I believe this is why Ford purposely didn't make the Ecoboost engines E85 ready. Imagine what these guys would be doing if their fuel system flowed enough to run E85 but they used 116 race fuel instead. Ford has a chance to be the new Buick if they put that powerplant in a Mustang. The Taurus SHO is nice but they need that injin in a 2 door car.

Right, he actually had to add 6 bungs to his intake runners for conventional injectors to suppliment the direct injectors. Larger direct injectors for the aftermarket just aren't there yet. Probably not long before they start showing up though. And of course he also runs alky injection. And a new pair of upgraded turbos.
But I find it amazing that that stock block is still holding together. Well, not so surprised with the block. It' uses a steel crank and 6 bolt mains front to back, but not so sure about the slugs and rods.
The F150 motors use forged pistons and steel rods, but I don't think the transverse versions do.

Actually Dave, he does not run alky injection. I will ask him again, but I believe those numbers were achieved with an e85 / 91 mix in the tank. He just posted 592hp / 630tq at the wheels. Stock unopened block and heads, aux fuel system, intake pipes, exhaust cutout, catless downpipes, and bigger turbos. Just amazing numbers. He will be building a new motor soon with forged internals, but it will be interesting to see how long this one lasts.

 

[TurboDave]

right again Mike. I forgot about the E85 system he has setup.

 

[BuickMike]

So I just confirmed. The numbers I mentioned were on straight E85 with the cutout open. He has Nitrous, but is not using it.

 

[BuickMike]

Any way you look at it, those are astounding numbers for a stock block / head / cam V6 with bolt-ons.

There is a company that's made a single turbo conversion kit. It won't be long before these things go REALLY fast.

So far, the only single turbo conversions that are being marketed are for the F-150. Non yet for the transverse engines.

Here's what Mike posted about his dyno runs:

"The motor is STOCK internals.
The car has the following mods:
Dual in tank fuel pumps
6 auxiliary injectors
Split-Sec aux injector controller
Car runs on straight E85 - 23 degrees of timing.
PPE Engineering 2.5" catted downpipes with stock cat-back and sound performance racing cutout.
First night
First pull 505HP/515TQ 15PSI - using stock ECU for boost control
Second pull 563HP/598TQ 23PSI - removed connection to factory boost controller, turbos running on wastegate spring
Next night
Third pull 587HP/642TQ 25PSI - same as second pull - allowed the boost activated cutout to open
Fourth pull 592HP/630TQ 25PSI - same as third pull - disconnected piping to filter in the fender
Fifth pull - not on video 600HP/642TQ - Cutout open, car had sat as we were uploading files to ECU - car was running cold air intake

We haven't tuned the car yet, this is a tune from Torrie at Unleashed from months ago on my old compressor wheel upgraded turbos with E85. We're just adding fuel via aux controller."

Daaamnnn! I haven't been on the forum yet. Just was reading his fb posts.
