Ford should crank out 100,000+ D35 variants so there's plenty of volume.

It's going to be a lot more than that. It is already standard in the 2007 Ford Edge, Lincoln MKZ and MKX. And while the rumors of the Milan and Fusion getting it haven't been verfied yet, it's a pretty safe bet the 500/Montego/Freestyle will be getting it. All three Fords together should be good for 250K-400K a year (last I checked Ford sold over 120,000 500's last year alone). And if it gets put into the Mustang, that's at least another 75K a year. It should be VERY cheap to produce, otherwise it wouldn't see such widespread use.

As far as putting it in a Mustang, I would be interested to see how they tune it (so far the Edge/MKX engines have a different tune than the MKZ, although it's miniscule).

 

500/Monty will get it when they get their styling update.

Which is in less than 6 months isn't it? To have it ready in the fall as a 2007 model?

 

Make it a 3.5L. as i had said in another forum http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index....opic=38532&hl=

Not to mention Mazda's 2008 6 and CX-9 are suppose to use the engine. This could be another 75,000 a year.

Cool. I forgot that the CX-9 was getting it (I think the new CX-7 and CX-9 look great by the way) but I had no idea the new 6 was getting it too.

By the way, I love LS's! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

 

I just read about the 2008 Mazda 6 at Edmunds yesterday. I know Edmunds make mistakes but this story passes the sanity check so I believe it.

I love my Lincoln. I can only have one car right now and I'm married so I went with an LS. I haven't been disappointed. Looking back, I probably should have bought an Explorer. I need the cargo room.

But the core problem is when you increase the stroke but not the bore (as is the case from the 4.6 to 5.4) you still get only the same air flow. The larger displacement and longer stroke gives more TQ and at lower RPS (good) but HP gains are minimal and high RPM performance is weak (bad).

Airflow velocity is incresed because the piston travels more, and pumps in more air. You get more velocity and volume with a stroker.
Frictional loss from increased sideloading are the drawbacks.

This is not true because the valve size limits air flow. Larger bore with larger valves will flow more air.

 

Eh, nothing a turbocharger won't solve. Yeah a D40 wouldnt be as mechanically efficient as a D35, but it would be a heckuva lot better than the Cologne (and half the V6s on the market today) anyway. I'm thinking a tcharged D40 would put out around 400hp. Perfect for...something?

 

Have to break the news to you guys....IT'S GONNA BE A DIESEL!!!!


4.4 liter twin turbo w/465 ft.lbs. of torque...new 6 speed auto. and the car is gonna weigh 3,250. Call it the "Bio-Diesel Boss 289".


Ok...I'm dreaming. That was fun.

 

I didn't laugh that much, BMW has some kick butt turbo diesels. Talk about low-end torque.

 

Too bad you sound like you're invading Poland every time you put your foot down.

The stroker increases piston speed for any given rpm, so you have more sucking power. You are also sucking more because of how much more the piston had to go down Vs. stock.
That's why they make power, you get more air, and are squeezing it into the same size combustion area.

 

You have my attention, I heard some say more sucking power.

 

I vote for the 3.5L. I think it is the same engine configuration that the IndyRacing League uses and we all know they get about 700 HP out of those engines. The 3.5 represents a lot more modern engineering than the 4.0L. I love displacement but they haven't really done much in the racing world at Ford with it.

 

Yeah, no one is disputing the superiority of the D35 to the Cologne six, were just saying a bored/stroked version of the D35 would be even more BA.

You did not say at any given RPM in your prior post. But your statement is misleading because increasing the displacement of an engine will give more HP at the same RPM whether bore or stroke is increased.

You'll get more HP from a larger bore (than stroke) because you can have larger valves which will flow more air. That's why where the rules allow it, race engines have much larger bores than strokes. Shorter stroke also allows for higher RPM with the same piston travel again making more HP.

So to put it in other words, given the same displacement a larger bore engine will almost always be capable of more HP than a longer stroke engine.

Indy Racing League uses V8 engines, not V6s.
Orignally they were 4.0L, reduced a few years later to 3.5L and once again reduced a couple years ago to 3.0L.

 

Personally I wouldn't go with big bore short stroke beacuse of the rpm range. Those Indy car's are impressive, I think they are like ~200% volumetric efficient N/A, or some carzy # like that.
Strokers won't be efficient at high rpms due to all the friction & sideloading, but for a car that won't see past 6K a huge bore with short stroke would be weak.

 

What, you mean you dont shift at 18k?
