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:/...

Again, the dew point issue has been known for decades by boy racers who had
inter-coolers
A tiny 1/64" dia hole at the bottom of the 'tank' on the cold side normally
does the trick or go with Turtle's suggestion
Again, known to boy racers and is all over most of their forums for decades...
Have been asked why larger crank journals on this architecture...a small
V6 being stuffed with large displacement V8 volumes of air/fuel will
have WAY more forces on the power stroke.
That power stroke turns the crank via the rod journal on the crank
bearing surface
If the V6 crank journal is not large enough...the higher forces *WILL*
squeeze out the oil film that floats the two metal parts from going
metal on metal
Why this architecture has a spray system for the bottom of the pistons
and other rotation parts. Both to cool (main reason) and to make sure
there is lube 'up' there
Then if the crank sees V8 level forces...does the block also have the
meat to handle that long term?
Ditto beefiness for all the other parts, as this is not a 'normal' V6
