Ford Ecoboost
According to the news Ford is having problems with the ecoboost loosing power on hard acceleration? Have not yet followed up on the exact problem, but is this the tip of the iceberg or iwhat? http:/...

Relative humidity conditions (barometric, temp, etc) playing with the Dew Point
The better an intercooler works, the bigger the problem with condensing conditions
showing up (rain) inside the intercooler
Makes no difference if a gasoline ICE intercooler or diesel ICE intercooler. They
both work the same and both have similar 'rainy' conditions inside there
Think the computer systems do watch out for H2O in the gassers more than on diesels
But that is just a guess on my part (not into diesels anymore and didn't come
up the reading materials all the way)
Nothing really 'wrong' with a turbo for a gasser, even towing...but...if down
sized in volume and used the turbo to make up for that downsized volume...then
the 'stoutness' of that 'new' gasoline ICE 'MUST' be beefed up (thicker block
walls...everywhere, bigger rod, bigger crank, bigger journal bearings, bigger
oil pump for higher flow rate...both PSI and GPH, bigger head stuff, bigger every
thing)
How much is big enough and/or not enough? Only the design team and their dialed
in design margins (we refer to them as outsiders...as safety margin) and their
design spec on the worst conditions (should be WOT with several tons hooked up
to it's tail or on it's back for HOURS)
Running any ICE WOT for 24 hours has been done decades ago
I remember a plain Jane carburated small block run at WOT for days on end for
an oil marketing stunt. It had several 55 gallon drums of engine oil it drew from
and some HD filters and coolers on it
Of course that ad did NOT show that stuff, but did find an article about it
later that talked about all that stuff
Just read the fine print, as the 'Truth in Advertising Laws' has teeth and they
do play to that law in the marketing game. Stuff like 'professional driver',
'do not do this at home kids', etc, etc, etc, etc...
