Mustangs V6 Ecoboost VS Carmaros V6 turbocharged

[TheMadHatter99]

Either way it sounds like we'll be waiting a while to see these new engines. Supposedly not too much is changing engine-wise in the 2010 (or at least that was the case last time I was on the Stang forums).

Has anyone heard differently? Will the 2010 redesign also include the twin-turbo V6 replacing the V8 or what?

It will be an alternate option, from what I can tell, and it will be about the same price.

From what I've read the Ecoboost will only cost an additional $700 to the consumer. However, the ecoboost V6 WILL replace the V8 in the GT, so you looking at GT cost plus $700

^Wait what? They're killing the V8 in Mustang? That's gonna have a lot of guys upset...meaning better business for the Camaro

No the Eco boost is an option not a replacment.

Traditionalists need not worry, though - V-8s will still be very much part of the Mustang program for 2010. If the EcoBoost version does make production, Ford would probably offer it alongside the V-8, and let buyers decide which they prefer.

Ok, um, in the OP, it mentions a 340hp ecoboost V6. I just spent 5 minutes looking at both of those links and it doesn't say anything 340hp squat, except by someone who posted a comment. Show me.

The motor produces 340hp in the Lincoln MK..something or other.

the thing that scares me is the fact that a chip/ reflash for the eco boost would prb yield very high numbers...
look how much power u get from the reflash for the 335 BMW

Exactly for example here at my house we have an 05 mustang turbo, 06 magnum srt-8, 09 evo X. And to get 30-40 rwhp out of the mustang and the magnum I had to get what? intake/tune/headers/udp's. We took the evo to the dyno and we gained 36hp 100% stock doing some age old tricks with just messing with the PCV system and using some vacuum plugs here and there. Then with the reflash, boost controller we were over more than 100rwhp. A car that comes turbo from the factory is always better to lightly mod than a n/a car. For example since I already have a nice street/drag car if I were to buy the 2010 mustang or any car for example I would make damn sure it is turbo from the factory.

For under 2k you gain over 100rwhp easily and imagine the gains on a bigger engine persay. With a mod list of under 5k the boosted car from the factory will run circles around a n/a car in the same $ modded range. Now obviously if you make both turbo thats a whole other story but typically talking making a car that was n/a turbo is a pain in the ass since you mostly have to get internals since very little are forged from the factory and most have relative high compression to make power na. Not to mention while you are it you need numerous fuel system upgrades.

Summary if I want to keep the stock warranty, spend under 5k modding the car and get the most giddy-up for the $ it is the boosted car hands down.

yup.... if this turbo stang actually comes out id be more than a little bit nervous even with the SS n a few bolt ones if i run into a chipped turbo v6 mustang

[Black5thgen]

I wouldn't be surprised to see the turbo eco-tech become the base engine and a turbo 3.6DI become available with the F3 suspension. That would spank the mustang.

I heard that the EcoBoost V6 is capable of some 415 hp.

Just throw a cam/intake/exhaust/slicks/tune on the SS and you won't have to worry about 95% of cars on the road.

Something else to consider is that the Ecoboost has similar numbers to an SS but will weigh a whole lot less.
