^^^my hands are normal size..that turbo is about the size of a grapefruit

 

Compression > huge boost.

 

i know how they work and everything. just thought they'd be bigger

 

i think stock it is 4psi of boost. and it runs 14-13.9 thats impressive sorry... imagine just a tune on the new SHO taurus. im actually happy they brought em back

 

dumb question.... whats it go in? ford what

 

Taurus SHO, Flex, MKS, MKT and there's going to be a 2.0T as well making like 275 hp. EcoBoost is no joke.

 

thats whats on the SHO?
damn thats small. sounds badass though

 

365 hp

 

Dual gt15 turbos

 

i think the sho's r very cool sleepers... take off the sho and just leave taurus and pull up next to people and laugh at them alot

 

Those turbos look like they can only support a total of 10 psi

 

gm could have and should have built their own version a couple years ago out of the 3.6l. i mean, its already direct injected, why not drop the compression and slap a couple turbos on there. honestly from the 3.6, i dont see 400hp being an issue, and i honestly beleive that should be the mid-level motor in the camaro, save the v8 for a z28. but, as usual, ford has done the cutting edge thing and in 3 or 4 years gm will release something to compete, but by that time ford will already have the next big thing out.

good on ford for actualy building this motor, smaller displacment boosted engines are the future. ford has said they will be replacing current v6 cars with the ecoboost 4 cyl, and v8 cars (except for the mustang) and trucks with this ecoboost v6. there will always (in the forseeable future) be a v8 in the trucks. think of the ecoboost v6 as a replacment for the 4.6l, and the new 5.0l will be the replacment for the 5.4

 

The thing is, stock numbers are impressive.

The MZR is.

What happens if it turns out to be an MZR?

The second you do anything it sucks ass?

 

I think it's 11-12

 

read the review on the sho its like a 14.5 car its still not competing with us ss/tcs but for it being a tank its still pretty impressive

 

Yes it looks like a very nice car... but for $38,000? << thats getting closer to GT500 and Corvette range.

BTW, anyone have a picture of the size of our turbos in the 2008-2009 Cobalts?

 

But this is aimed at a family market with a little more power.

 

they did, lol. thats wat in the 08-09 cts and the new camaros. a turbo'd 3.6l. i think they could have got a lil more horse out of it, but hey thats wat aftermarket tunes r for

 

ecoboost=crap. It is only going to be made in a poopy automatic.

 

since when were the camaros turbo? i thought they were n/a sixes making mustang GT horsepower...

correct me if im wrong.

 

It's not a performance car.

******* Christ you people on here crackme up.

Post of the century

Fail of the year

 

wow, i do fail... just looked it up. i dont remember where i got that from but i could of sworn there was a thread about the v6 in the camaro being a turbo. cuz originally the 3.6l only made like 260 horse and i thought it got turbod in 08 to get extra mpg's and power.

 

dont sweat it man. we all fail once in a while.

i think you may have seen people talking about how turboing the v6 would end up being more economical than buying the SS.

 

yea maybe, i mean it obviously would make a lot more sense

 

that was actaully a plan at one time. and a few mules were built.

in typical vvt fashion, as the VE of the motor shifted with the cams (thus PR) they kept eating turbos.

the program was pushed for a while, but then budget cuts hit.....and...well, you know the rest from there.
