Does anyone know if the ecoboost will fit in the focus/fiesta?
They are supposed to be working on a couple different 4 cylinder engines, i believe one being a small 1.6 liter with around 180-200 HP I blieve that would be a perfect in a 2600 pound fiesta. They have had turbo focuses and Fiestas in Europe for years.

I know that. I was just asking if anyone knows if the 3.5tt ecoboost will fit in the engine bays of the fiesta and/or focus?

I have seen the engine bay of the Fiesta, the little motor it has now is tight in there so i would say no on it. Don't know on the Focus.

I didn't think it would fit in the fiesta to begin with, but then again I have not seen one yet.

I wonder about the focus though?

Of course they could mount it, switch it to RWD and make the SHOGUN 2. Yeah, i wholly support that idea lol.

So they hit the dragstrip with the new F150 with the Ecoboost turbo 6.

Ran a 14.67 @ 94.6 mph.
