On your xsport have you had a engine failure? if not what are the HP/TQ number on it? what mods are on it as well?

No we have not had any engine failures, With just a tune and our Thunderstorm Cat-back exhaust we made 342 Hp and 397 Tq. This was with our CW tune and cat-back.

I just have to throw this out there;

I have owned and driven only Fords my whole life, with 1 exception. I have molded most of my Fords and driven ALL of them like I stole them. The only major issue I have ever had is with tranny's. Personally, on my SHO, I'd be more worried about the trans than the motor. I love my Ford's but they have trans issues.

Yep! i think the most significant differences between the transverse and longitudinal 3.5EBs are the transmissions.

i believe the main reason Ford limited the power of the 3.5EBs in the SHO/MKS/Flex is to protect the tranny...

The truck EcoBoost engine uses Borg Warner turbo's which are slightly larger, Garretts on the transverse. Longitudinal engine also has steel crank/rods and forged pistons while the transverse uses cast crank and rods and cast pistons.

A small glimpse into the world of the F150 EB:

I just wanted to clarify for everyone after speaking with someone at Ford the crank and rod from the SHO are the same as what is in the F-150. The only differences are the pistons, and the F-150 has bigger turbos.

SHOdded · May 16, 2014, 10:36:42 AM

So the F150 would face the same vulnerability as the SHO in terms of HP levels? Or do the pistons (how are they different) shield the rods in some way?

FoMoCoSHO · May 16, 2014, 12:30:56 PM

And the cranks on both are forged....

FracaSHO · May 16, 2014, 12:38:49 PM

F-150's have a single larger turbo. Only the transverse is twin turbo.

No. For some reason I thought the transverse was the only twin turbo ecoboost.

Is that the same for the Xsport?

I believe SHO/Flex/MKS/Explorer are identical.

Correct the Explorer sport and the SHO are the same. We are putting together a post for the differences between the taurus lines and the F-150 for you guys as soon as I have it done we will be posting.
