Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not denying that it hasn't been done etc etc, I just haven't heard of Ford doing anything like it! I'll have to ask at work now! |

If anybody is developing an engine for efficiency then there will not be a supercharger in site. Mind you in my opinion if anybody is developing any forced induction for any application there would not be a supercharger in site.

Thanks for the link, i'll report back on this one when I find out more! I still can't see them actually considering it to the extent of prototyping, but I'm prepared to be corrected :)

Mind you in my opinion if anybody is developing any forced induction for any application there would not be a supercharger in site. For a normal supercharger I would agree, but if it were to be electric (like Colin's link or similar), it wouldn't have a fixed ratio to engine speed - it could be totally down to the ECU if/when it ran and at what pressure.

The problem with electric chargers on a 12v system is that you need serious current to make the boost. Yes, but batterry technology has moved on and 12V is no longer the limit - the current generation of hybrid petrol/electric cars are running 200V. It wouldn't have to be that extreme for a supercharger motor but could easily be a lot more than 12V :) Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

You are right, most drives I work on are 600v though. Still seems a lot f bother and complexity and weight when a Turbo or two will be better. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

So just how many turbos will these 1.0 engines go through in 200k miles then especially if driven hard? Surely the turbos are being worked very hard to produce this sort of power?

I believe the estimated life cycle is 150k miles before things go bad! Thats for the engine not the turbo, i'm not sure what components are the ones that fail though!

I get 40.9 mpg on my short journeys to work which includes a blast everyday down a dualy. When we went to cardiff the average mpg jumped up to 46 from just driving there and back (average based on 5k of driving) No, it's the H5Ft wich is 115 bhp and will be seen any time soon in the Megane Phase 2. Compared to the D4Ft, it has direct injection, DOHC, both of wich are dephasable. D4Ft is an old engine now. The H5Ft is all alloy and a more square bore to stroke ratio so is more rev happy. Rusty by nature
