Ford's new 3 cylinder EcoBoost engine

Great engine! Economic, good torque, powerful and a GREAT sound!

[@goochma]

If this is the same motor that is in my 2021 Bronco Sport, and I think it is. I can't help but worry when I see that timing belt instead of a chain. It runs great and has plenty of power. I guess time will tell.

[@NoahDoane]

The 1.5 in the Bronco Sport is based on this engine. Don't worry as it is not related to the 1.5 i4, which had many issues with coolant leaking into the cylinders.

[@FatimaAsadi]

The 1.5L (codename dragon) inline 3 in the bronco sport is based on the 1.0L (codename fox) inline 3. but they swapped the belt for a chain system due to the "wet belt" disintegrating and blocking the oil pump and prematurely failing. There are less issues in the 1.5L then the 1.0L engine.

[@goochma]

[@simonh870]

I had one of these in a Focus that was lent to me for a while whilst my other car was in for a repair. It performed pretty much the same as my 1.6 Focus, and used about the same amount of fuel, only with more complexity less refinement and with more things to go wrong. So what exactly is the point of this engine?

I used to adjust the timing degree on the cam for more or less power on high RPM or low RPM on my 1971 Pintos 2.0L early belt driven German engine. Frkn fast&super fun car to compared to the other brands. Pinto Beans in Los Angeles had a cam sprocket to make this degree change without taking the timing belt off. This new engine makes that change as needed during acceleration, advancing &/or retarding the in&out valves, good. I thought to see the oil pump adjusting oil flow? this could add power to the flywheel kind like if the alternator was disable during acceleration, nice.

[@502Chevy]

Wow! It looks like the oil filter will be next to the firewall...Ford and their crazy oil filter locations! That and a timing belt that is drenched in oil like a timing chain. I love Fords (have 2 Ecoboost trucks) but that timing belt has me worried...

[@jorgenascimento9710]

Firewall? the exhaust manifold is fused to the top of the engine and comes out in the front right next to the turbo.

[@chrishenniker5944]

Can you bolt this up to a Ford Type 9 transmission? I'd love to stick this under the hood of a Mk1 Consul or 100E.

[@JanneLevenrot]

Just the cooling system, the thing with the spring is the thermostat (opens when the water temperature rises above a certain temperature)

[@kolbpilot]

I like all engines. I owned a 1.0 Daihatsu three cylinder & liked it. Fuel injection helped, so did the 5 spd. It had to move a two thousand pound car with me in it. Today's smaller engines are being asked to do to much, regardless of the technologies. I'm sure they run hot, especially with someone that has no sympathy for them. Cars are much heavier. The 245,000 rpm turbo speeds are insane. It's amazing we have the technology to pull that off, low friction bearings or not.

[@No.Handle31]

I remember this engines prototype being turned on. And the Ford engineer telling me your watching the future.

Lol... just wondering what these do, are they balancing type thingymajigs!! Lol

[@Datttsnake]

[@Ehwal]

therealmrcheese Variable valve timing. Essensitally Ford's version of VTEC, pretty much every manufacturer has a variation on the them nowadays.

[@jorgenascimento9710]

The rubber timing belt makes the engine run so smooth that everyone i know think both my sister 1.0 fiesta st line and mine 1.5 fiesta st (200) have 4 in line. And both our cars got 7 year warranty from ford for the price of the car no extra cost.

[@ronaldderooij1774]

I heard there are lots of problems with this engine. Is that true? (Carbon build up, and headgaskets).

[@philipgrice1026]

Haven't heard of any problems. But ... All current engines that vent the crankcase into the intake manifold do have a carbon build up issue. Since direct injection of the fuel into the cylinder heads there is no fuel passing through the intake manifold. This means no fuel detergent passes over the intake valves or cylinder head intake walls. Carbon can and does build up here, restricting air intake flow over time and therefore performance. It does take a while, typically 60 - 100 k miles but does require the intake manifold to be removed for access the the ports and back of the valves where suitable cleaning techniques can be applied, such as walnut shell blasting or judicious use of carbon solvents, sharp devices and lots of paper towels to mop up the mess. This situation is common across all manufacturers so don't just ask about Fords. They all do it. There must be a better way to vent the crankcase.

check how VAG and PSA are doing with their cam-chains... lots of stretch problems, premature wear, engine damage as a consequence. Buy from the cheapest (Chinese?) suppliers... in autosports some engines use kevlar reenforced cambelts. These can take a lot of beating! Minimal wear. a cambelt doesn't have to be all that bad.
