Ford EcoBoost engines
Content
The Ford Ecobus turbo engine series has been assembled at several concern plants since 2009 and is installed on many popular models offered under the Ford, Volvo and Land Rover brands. The line includes four families of internal combustion engines, united by the presence of direct injection and supercharging.
- 3-cylinder
- ICE 1.5 and 1.6 liters
- ICE 2.0 and 2.3 liters
- V6 units
3-cylinder Ford EcoBoost engines
In 2012, Ford introduced a new line of Ecoboost 3-cylinder turbo engines. By the way, these are the only engines in the series designed from scratch by the Dunton engineering center, because the rest of the family members are essentially turbo versions of old units.
By design, there is an in-line cast-iron block for 3 cylinders with an open cooling jacket, an aluminum 12-valve DOHC head without hydraulic lifters, combined with an exhaust, a special timing belt drive in an oil bath, Ti-VCT phase shifters on the intake and exhaust, direct fuel injection with electromechanical injectors Bosch, and also a Continental turbine.
The features of the engine include a variable displacement vane oil pump, sodium-filled hollow exhaust valves, the rejection of the use of balance shafts here, a three-circuit cooling system and two water pumps: mechanical and electrically driven.
In addition to the 1.0-liter Fox engines, the series includes 1.5-liter Dragon with an aluminum block:
| M1DA (125 hp / 170 nmi) | Focus Mk3, C-Max Mk2 |
| M2DA (100 hp / 170 nmi) | Focus Mk3, C-Max Mk2 |
| M1JE (125 hp / 170 nmi) | Fiesta Mk3, B-Max Mk1 |
| SFJA (100 hp / 170 nm) | Fiesta Mk3, B-Max Mk1 |
| M1JC (125 hp / 170 nmi) | Ecosport Mk2 |
| n/a (150 hp / 240 nm) | Focus Mk4 |
| n/a (182 hp / 240 nm) | Focus Mk4 |
| n/a (200 hp / 290 nm) | Party Mk7 |
Ford Ecobust 1.5 and 1.6 liter engines
In 2009, the 1.6-liter power unit of the Duratec Ti-VCT family received turbocharging, direct fuel injection and the EcoBoost inscription on the valve cover. But in essence, this is an updated internal combustion engine of the Sigma series, the first modification of which, under the Zetec S symbol, was released in 1995.
In 2013, a new version of this turbo engine appeared with a volume reduced to 1.5 liters. Many countries, and especially China, provide benefits for cars with engines less than 1500 cm³, so Ford decided to increase the popularity of some of its models in this way.
This line included many engines, but we have chosen only those that are found in our country:
| M8DA (150 hp / 240 nmi) | Focus Mk3, C-Max Mk2 |
| M9DA (182 hp / 240 nmi) | Focus Mk3, C-Max Mk2 |
| M8MA (150 hp / 240 nm) | The Mk2 |
| M9MA (182 hp / 240 nm) | The Mk2 |
| UNCA (160 hp / 240 nm) | Mondeo Mk5 |
| UNCI (160 hp / 240 nm) | Galaxy Mk3, S-Max Mk2 |
| JQDA (150 hp / 240 nm) | Focus Mk3, C-Max Mk2 |
| JTDA (182 hp / 240 nm) | Focus Mk3, C-Max Mk2 |
| JQMA (150 hp / 240 nm) | The Mk2 |
| JTMA (182 hp / 240 nm) | The Mk2 |
| JTBA (160 hp / 240 nm) | Mondeo Mk4 |
| JTJA (182 hp / 240 nm) | Party Mk6 |
| JTWA (160 hp / 240 nm) | Galaxy Mk2, S-Max Mk1 |
Ford Ecobust 2.0 and 2.3 liter engines
In 2009, turbocharging and direct injection received Duratec HE engines and also became EcoBoost. Of course, they were seriously updated, but in fact these are the same aluminum units, developed by Mazda, which have been produced since 2000 and are installed on many models of the concern, including Volvo.
In the US market, powerful versions of the 2.0-liter Twin-scroll turbocharged engines are offered. They also have their own fuel equipment and a more efficient lubrication and cooling system.
This range includes many 2.0-liter units and a 2.3-liter Focus RS powertrain:
| TNBB (200 hp / 300 nm) | Mondeo Mk4 |
| TPBA (240 hp / 340 nm) | Mondeo Mk4 |
| TNCD (200 hp / 345 nm) | Mondeo Mk5 |
| R9CB (240 hp / 345 nm) | Mondeo Mk5 |
| TNWA (200 hp / 300 nm) | Galaxy Mk2, S-Max Mk1 |
| TPWA (240 hp / 340 nm) | Galaxy Mk2, S-Max Mk1 |
| R9CD (240 hp / 345 nm) | Galaxy Mk3, S-Max Mk2 |
| R9DA ( 250 hp / 360 nm ) | Focus Mk3 |
| YVDA (350 hp / 440 nm) | Focus Mk3 |
Powertrains Ford EcoBoost type V6
The concept of the Duratec V6 engine with direct fuel injection and turbocharging was shown in 2007, but it only went into production in 2009 along with the Ford Taurus and Flex, as well as the Lincoln MKS and MKT. Details about these turbo engines are described in an article on the Ford Cyclone family of internal combustion engines.
In addition to the fairly common 3.5-liter internal combustion engines, there are also smaller units: these are 2.7 and 3.0-liter turbo engines of the Nano series, presented in two different generations.
