The EcoBUST engine MUST run in derated mode when not using BOOST.
An N/A DFI engine can have a compression above 12:1 even 14:1 in some cases (Mazda).
Whereas a BOOSTED DFI engine MUST be derated, ~10:1 CR, in cruise, off-boost mode.
Most engines run in cruise mode 98% of the time.
Ford's EcoBUST FE problem is compounded by the fact of the CAC collecting water and oil as an emulsion in the bottom of the CAC outflow endcap. Roll a perfectly good EcoBUST engine out of the factory door, within just a few miles engine components will begin to fail (bent connecting rods) due to (partial) hydro-locking.
Is it just me (cranky old guy) but this style of post makes me think - teenager?
