Ecoboost 5.0

[geophb]

Kinda random and don't know if it has been brought up before.
But what if ford made an ecoboost 5.0 coyote? and stuffed it in? raptor/f150? new model vehicle? mustang? rwd sedan?
Based on displacement percent increase only (about 40%) it would be at least 500hp. It would be wicked, and v8 so sound will be good.
Thoughts?

It would be awesome but It seems Dodge is the only one who want to make huge numbers and if they were Todo it they would want it to cost 100k
it deffently wouldn't fit the Ecoboost model v12 is not a common engine to try and say here's a v8 with v12 power when you need it.

It's something that maybe they could develop a new performance vehicle or a new option for a truck so I doubt it would happen but there is still a small possibility.

I think Ford's real focus is and should be on developing and bringing new technology too bad Mazda is the real one making the changes in engine development.

The '18 Mustang is basically an Ecoboost 5.0 minus the boost. What I mean is they added GDI to the 5.0, and kept the Port EFI for added flexibility with the fuel system. Its just too bad lots of issues have been reported with the new 5.0 motor. It's the first year offered so its to be expected, but basically it just needs boost; A knock off cheap hellion kit on one would complete your dream.

Unless I am mistaken the magic of the ecoboost is just Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection, along with a healthy Stroke and Cam profile...

Let me know if such a kit exists...I have one and they are one of the better engineered kits out

It’s actually one of the most expensive ways to boost a coyote.....far more economical to put on a procharger or supercharger but when I open the hood people love mine wayyy more and my personal belief is twin turbo V8’s are the coolest thing on the planet next to a twin turbo V12

You could also go the Fo-bougatti route, 4 EB borg-warners' out the junkyard, (two per bank with the exhaust out the hood!). There is a YT vid of a guy who made a built a junkyard late 70's camaro with the 4 baby turbski's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVveg2sE3CA

as for the cheap hellion kit, you would have to piece something together from multiple suppliers like http://www.vsracing.net. I know its a bit more complicated than that to have a truly bitch'n setup with the driveablity and safety of the hellion kit, but it can be done.

Talk to SuperSixMotorSports.  Might have some usable ideas.

Yup, they also throw in some free lag at no extra cost.
