The 2.7 - liter EcoBoost engine also features Ford's first use of a compacted
graphite iron cylinder block in a gasoline engine, the same material used in Ford's 6.7 - liter Power Stroke ® turbo diesel V8 in Super Duty trucks.
The 2.7 - liter EcoBoost engine features the first use of a compacted
graphite iron cylinder block in a gasoline engine, the same material used in Ford's 6.7 - liter Power Stroke turbo - diesel V8 engine.
Not exact matches
The new engine builds on the strengths of the old one and adds
iron - coated
cylinder walls,
graphite - coated pistons, reinforced pistons made out of a new steel alloy, a freer - flowing intake, and a pair of new 350 - bar (5,000 psi) direct injection fuel pumps (one on each
cylinder bank) to yield an increase of 67 hp and 74 lb - ft of torque over the previous iteration of the 4.4 - liter eight -
cylinder.
The 2.7 - liter EcoBoost uses the same compacted
graphite iron in its
cylinder block as is used in the 6.7 - liter Power Stroke.
The engine block is comprised of compacted
graphite iron like its bigger sibling, the F - Series Super Duty's 6.7 - litre Power Stroke V - 8, with aluminum
cylinder heads.
The engines also have aluminum heads, with four - valves per
cylinder and strong, spheroidal -
graphite cast -
iron crankshafts and steel connecting rods.
The block is unique, constructed of compacted
graphite iron (CGI), which offers high strength — especially in diesel engines where the load is significant between the
cylinder banks of a V - 6 — and light weight.
* The answer: features like Ford - first port fuel and direct injection (PFDI) with two injectors per
cylinder (one in the air intake port, another inside the
cylinder), plus upper block and
cylinders made of the high - strength compacted
graphite iron used in the Super Duty ® 6.7 L Power Stroke ® Turbo Diesel.
Weight was reduced by building the
cylinder block out of compacted
graphite iron (CGI), which is stronger and lighter than traditional
iron.
The new 2.7 - liter mill uses compacted
graphite iron in its
cylinder block like the Power Stroke diesel.
With its Compacted
Graphite Iron (CGI)
cylinder block and aluminium
cylinder heads it is the lightest diesel engine of its type and size — making a significant contribution to the new XF's power - to - weight ratio, performance and fuel economy.
The Power Stroke V6 isn't the most lightweight engine on offer, having a block made of compacted -
graphite iron rather than aluminum — a necessary trade - off given the diesel's higher peak
cylinder pressures.
