2.7 ecoboost power rating ?

Anybody know what the actual ratings are?

Today Lincoln announced some stuff about there new 2015 MKX that coming out. They say 2.7 liter echo boost engine has approximately 330 hp & 370 lb-ft of torque.

So it probably the same engine that in the 2015 Ford edge sport .

The 6 speed transaxle that ford shares with GM on their front engine based vehicles has a tq rating of 370 lb ft. So that it is why the 3.5L ecoboost in the Taurus sho, flex and explorer sport has that rating even though it is 420 tq in the trucks. Also why the 3.6l twin turbo in the caddy xts is down rated to 370 tq vs. the Cts V sports 430 lb ft.

The 369 tq of the 2.7 L is going to make the edge flat go. From idle to 1500 rpms there won't be much there, but hold the heck on after that. Especially when you consider that the edge is going to weigh in the low 4000 lb range. Car should be a fun driver.

 

And I'm going to predict a 0-60 time of 5.9 secs. Maybe even a few tenths less.

Thanks for noting a gating factor – the transmission – in Ford tuning the HP and torque for the Edge. The 2.7 Ecoboost seems to be quite the engine.

In the future, might this increase low RPM throttle response and address any perceived lag, even if not significantly improving reported 0-60 time? I'm guessing Ford and others are looking at any/all methods to address fuel economy requirements.

Electronic turbocharger/supercharger to avoid spool up lag, "provides full boost three to five times faster than a turbocharger, in only 350 milliseconds.”:
triple-charging.

Step on the gas and a Valeo Gen3 R70 electric supercharger spools up 70,000 rpm, drawing a peak power of 7 kilowatts from a 48-volt ultracapacitor pack in the trunk. (The ultracaps are topped up via the alternator and a DC-to-DC converter primarily during vehicle deceleration.) This produces some 22 psi of boost pressure, but it doesn't go directly into the intake manifold. Rather, it flows through two parallel Borg-Warner turbochargers, helping spool them up more quickly. The airflow from these two single-scroll turbos -- one fed by the two outermost cylinders, the other by the inner two -- gets combined in the intercooler before heading into the engine. The e-booster shuts down at about 3,300 engine rpm once the two turbos come online, and at their peak speed of 200,000 revs they develop 36 psi of boost.

Since I do not know much about turbos....my question is based on my driving habits. I drive 90 pecent of more interstate or hiways, 60 -75mph consistantly. I do however on occasions park and idle for about 30 minutes to two hours (not often) based on this use anyone have an idea if a 2.7L turbo would be a good choice or should I stay with the tried and true 3.5L? I am not planning on getting rid of my current edge anytime soon, but wonder about the durability of this engine compared to the 3.5's proven durability. This of course could change rapidly with one small fender bender as I have so many miles on my edge a claim for a rock chip would possibly cause the insurance company to total it.

There have been virtually zero turbo problems on the ecoboost engines and they've been around for almost 5 years already with some going well over 100K miles. These engines were built to be turbocharged from day one - totally different than trying to add a turbo to an engine not designed for one.

 

This is more comparable to the turbo diesels which have been around for many many years in heavy duty trucks and semis.

 

If you want the extra power get the 2.7L EB. If you don't care about that get the 3.5L.

Ford has not officially released the HP figures for the 2.7 EB in the Edge and the MKX. There is nothing posted on their website.

Scott Tobin says differently and he works for Ford/Lincoln. That website looks like clip bait

 

Good grief guys - did you not see my link to Ford's OFFICIAL press release at media.ford.com?

 

It's OFFICIAL.

You might have to wait until Monday for Ford website inputs MPG & HP of 2015 Edge if that person who does the website does not work weekend. But Blitz118 it official

Any idea why the power is less than in the upcoming Lincoln?

I'm wondering the same thing, but Lincoln is trying to differentiate itself from the Ford. I also have not heard any mention of the MKX having the start stop option.

 

"More power, greater agility

Leading the engine choices for the new Lincoln MKX is the available advanced 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged Ti-VCT EcoBoost V6. It is projected to deliver more than 330 horsepower and more than 370 lb.-ft. of torque, based on preliminary test data."
