Eco-Boost in F150
#16
Diesels are a completely different animal, and most use single turbos; although there are a few sequential turbo versions out there. The issue on diesels is that they are not putting much out in terms of psi, so there is less load/stress on the turbo. The EcoBoost engine is a true twin-turbo, not a sequential style.
I hope the EB becomes a great engine for Ford, but given the history of most high-HP v6 turbos in the past, they don't tend to hold up to the abuse most people put them through. Turbo engines just have a lot less leeway in terms of A/F ratios and fuel grades. Detonation or preignition can occur much more easily in an FI engine than an NA.

Things like individual cylinder knock-sensing via feedback directly from the sparkplug gap, injector design & implementation, sensor advancments in general, sophisticated adaptive software, materials science advancements and very fast PCM's to handle all the math in realtime
Ford's gonna have all manner of safeguards on these babies, methinks.
6.2L + twin-turbos = Ego Boost

Just cought this article that states the F150 recieveing an Eco-boost in 2010
Scheduled for 2010 are:
Engines Transmissions
------- -------------
1.6-liter Fiesta I-4 6-speed automatic FWD
2.0-liter Focus DI I-4 6-speed PowerShift Fiesta
2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4 6-speed PowerShift Focus
3.5-liter F-150 EcoBoost V-6 6-speed manual Mustang
3.7-liter Mustang V-6 6-speed automatic Mustang
5.0-liter Mustang V-8 6-speed automatic TorqShift Super Duty
5.4-liter Shelby GT 500 V-8
6.2-liter Super Duty (gas)
6.7-liter Super Duty Power Stroke
Personally I would love to see the Eco-Boost (rename it too for the F150) and then a diesel, that would rock!

Well no. The Raptor IS 100% getting the 6.2L and it was not mentioned either.

Is the Eco supposed to weigh less than the 5.4 weighs now? I hadn't heard anything about that. I know they mentioned the new engine for the SD being lighter. Sure would be nice, the F150 is heavy enough already.

Really? How much boost does a powerstroke diesel make, and how much boost does your average saab/volvo/whatever make? I don't have facts on hand, and could be wrong, but I was under the impression that a powerstroke or similar cummins, or duraturd made well over 20psi factory. How many gasser sedans, ecoboost included do this?
