Has a complete dissection and dissertation on the 1.6 Ecoboost. With a build in the future. They see the cast crank as a weakness. They mentioned the rods also saying the bolts were the smallest diameter they'd seen.

What issue?

I would like to read that.

 

[Quisp]

Current one at newstand.

Awesome that the 1.6L is getting love from Dsport. Should help expand the market eventually

 

[Wimp Lo]

Obviously since its May 1, the current news stand issue with the 1.6 EcoBoost feature is the June 2016 issue...

They've been doing a build-up on a Fiesta ST for the last few issues, not just the June issue.

Here's the latest story, it's somewhere else on the forums

It seems like they managed to make their ST not want to turn.

At least they are mentioning it.

Eibach tend to make their setups really safe (understeer-y). They have 25mm Tubular front and a 21mm solid rear bar. Looking at the other "full set" of sways from ST Suspension, they have 23.8mm (15/16") solid fronts and 22.2mm (7/8") solid rears.

may as well bring over the pics...

:heading over to bookstore now to read an issue:

I really love to see what they have to say about our motor, because I have from good resource that these suckers are pretty stout as everyone probably knows already

 

[Quisp]

They say 400hp limit. Do to open deck, Cast crank . Puny rod bolts

 

[Wimp Lo]

DHM found the limit of the piston skirt at 400+ whp, D Sport looked at the pistons and praised them.

I would have liked to see a comparison to a Honda B16 or whatever their recent 1.6 is.

They have a new 1.5L turbo in the new civic.

Do someone have acess to the article about the engine. And could you post it. Thank.

The 1.6 EcoBoost isn't new. I doubt the new Civic turbo has been pushed as hard as the older 1.6 just because only Honda has the 1.5 so far.

Comparing against an unknown is a difficult way to draw good conclusions.

Was just trying to compare the closest thing Honda offers to our ecoboost engine

So you are wondering about the 1.6L.. Which one? The B16 has been around since 1989 and offered in many different outputs from 150hp to 185hp. Discontinued in early 2000's

D16 has been offered since 1986 and is not the most impressive engine..

The newest small engines they offer are the L15 (Honda fit) and the R18 (Honda civic 06-15) both are single cam Econo motors..

Sorry I'm a Honda junkie (or I was).. The b16 has been pushed way way further than our engine and is proven to be an all time great tuning engine. In stock form they are good for about 300ish hp. Also remember they are built for high revving NA power. You can completely rebuild the motor and have as much HP as you want.

 

[Wimp Lo]

It sounds like B16 is well known and a similar DOHC architecture.

If they were compared side by side it would be easier to draw conclusions.

Sorry to revive an old topic.

Just ran across the 5 parts articles today. If anyone's interested.
