Creating a turbo manifold isn't THAT hard but creating one that doesn't fall to pieces in harsh motorsport conditions is a different story. In this episode, we sit down with Full Race's Geoff Raicer — someone who understands turbocharger and manifold development better than most and is more than happy to share what he's learnt... plus a whole lot more.Use RACE50 to get $50 off HPA's 3D Modelling & CAD for Motorsport course: https://hpcdmy.co/CADbFull Race has been around for a long time and has always been known for building some of the best turbo manifolds and turbo kits available — primarily for the Honda, Mitsubishi, and Nissan markets. Geoff and Full Race were even instrumental in bringing Borg Warner's line of EFR turbochargers to the aftermarket and yet, despite that successful history, you won't find a single fabricated exhaust manifold for sale on Full Race's shop these days — so what happened?In this episode, we chart Geoff's journey towards founding Full Race just as the modified import scene began to explode, how his business evolved through some challenging years, and what it's morphed into today — a very different beast from its early days.This is a fascinating story that saw Geoff and his team pivot in an interesting direction during the 2008 financial crisis, involving themselves directly with Borg Warner and later Ford in the development and testing of the 2.3 inline-four and 3.5 V6 EcoBoost engines years before the public saw them. This relationship has continued and we now see a completely different Full Race that puts the majority of its eggs in the Ford basket, pumping out some of the best Raptor 3.5-litre Ecoboost go-fast parts seen anywhere in the world. This episode touches on a wide range of subjects that touches on a wide range of subjects — from the limitations faced by Geoff in the early days of turbocharging, to the secrets to building manifolds that don't fail, to some seriously technical discussions around turbochargers, working with OEMs, the ins and outs of Ford's EcoBoost 3.5 litre V6, plus a whole lot more.

On the occasion of celebrating its 100-year anniversary, automotive manufacturer Ford Motor Company South Africa (FMCSA) has announced it will start producing plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) Ranger models at its Silverton, Pretoria, manufacturing facility late next year. The automaker is investing R5.2-billion in expanding its existing facility to accommodate the new models on the same assembly lines as the diesel and petrol vehicles, and in building a dedicated battery pack assembly facility. Particularly, the chassis plant will be upgraded to accommodate the unique chassis configuration of the plug-in hybrid Ranger, including changes to the robots, welding equipment, control systems, conveyors and skids. The PHEV models are destined for export to Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but Ford Middle East & Africa operations VP Ockert Berry is confident that the company will see local uptake of them as well. He tells Engineering News that, with the South African Ford facilities already being geared up to produce Ranger vehicles, it made sense for the group to expand to PHEV Ranger production. It will be the first time in two decades that the Silverton plant will be supplying vehicles to the Australian and New Zealand markets. Berry adds that the plant will initially target production of 30 000 PHEV Ranger units a year and ramp up as required. The plant currently produces about 200 000 vehicles a year, comprising Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok vehicles. The Ranger PHEV will deliver more torque than any other Ranger, owing to a 2.3-litre Ford EcoBoost turbo petrol engine paired with an electric motor and rechargeable battery system. It can be driven in pure electric mode for more than 45 km without using a drop of fuel or producing tailpipe emissions. It will provide all the towing and payload capability customers expect of Ranger, along with Pro Power Onboard for the first time, enabling customers to power their tools and appliances on a worksite or remote campsite by plugging them into power outlets embedded in both the cargo bed and the cabin. The latest investment in the plant adds to a total R33-billion that FMCSA has invested at its plants in Silverton, and Struanway, in Gqeberha. Moreover, FMCSA reveals an expanded product range that will be available for purchase in the South African market within the next 18 months, including the all-electric Mustang Mach-E, a seventh-generation Mustang range that will include the most powerful naturally aspirated Mustang to date - the Mustang Dark Horse, an all-new Territory five-seater special utility vehicle and the next-generation Torneo Custom and Transit Custom models. Additionally, Ford will soon launch two new Ranger models, Tremor and Platinum, made specially for the South African market. The Tremor is a more adventure-oriented Ranger model with added off-road functionality, while the Platinum will comprise ultimate driving comfort features. "From humble beginnings that established Ford in South Africa in November 1923, our team and facilities here have grown into a world-class operation that delivers the highest-quality vehicles to our customers in South Africa and around the world," says Ford Motor Company chief dealer engagement officer Elana Ford. As part of the FMCSA centenary celebrations, the company has launched three new community initiatives targeted at maths and science development, early learning development and scholarships. FMCSA and its project partners are creating 100 maths and science laboratories for primary schools around the country, as well as 100 early childhood development centres, while it will fund 100 youth scholarships to promote learning in the fields of science, technology, engineering and maths. South Africa is the fourth country across Ford's manufacturing portfolio to have exceeded 100 years of operations, following the US, Canada and Argentina. The Silverton facility will also celebrate its one-millionth Ranger produced some time nex...

Técnicamente la opción del motor de 3 cilindros, con la tecnología actual, es perfectamente válida y tiene ventajas… pero a mi no me gustan. ¿Por qué? Hay quien dice que “El corazón tiene razones que la razón no entiende”… Algo de eso hay, lo confieso, pero no solo eso… Empezamos mal… Con el "downsizing". Eso del “Más por menos” está muy bien, pero es la estrategia responsable de que muchas marcas, sustituyan sus motores de seis cilindros por otros de 4 y de que otras se saquen de la manga los motores de tres cilindros, muy eficientes, pero no siempre emocionantes… Porque, antes de seguir, os voy a hablar de tú a tú, de aficionado a aficionado: No todo son cifras. Para los que nos gustan las sensaciones hay cosas no siempre fáciles de medir, pero que nos importan y mucho: El sonido, la vibración que es como la palpitación del motor, el tacto del acelerador… y de eso, el "downsizing" no entiende nada. 1. Cuatro cilindros, configuración ideal. No hay que ser muy listo: En un motor alternativo que cada cilindro produce una explosión o combustión, vamos, un tiempo “de trabajo” cada dos vueltas, un motor de cuatro cilindros es ideal: Siempre hay un cilindro en fase de trabajo, o sea que el motor funciona “redondo” y las vibraciones se compensan. Por extensión, los motores con cilindros múltiplos de 4, como los de 8, 12 y 16 cilindros. Los motores de 4 cilindros o múltiplo de 4 son mayoría, y lo serían de forma más aplastante si los motores de seis no fuesen tan bien, ni sonasen tan bien y no permitiesen una compacidad muy buena. 2. Ventajas de los motores de 3 cilindros. -Son más baratos de fabricar. -Es más pequeño. -Pesa menos. -Tiene menos fricciones. -Contaminan y consumen menos. 3. Desventajas de los 3 cilindros. No voy a hablar de aspectos subjetivos… esos los dejo para el final. Vamos a hablar de aspectos exclusivamente técnicos. -Vibran más. -Tienen más piezas y más rozamientos si añadimos arboles de equilibrado. -Pueden ser menos fiables. -Requieren sobrealimentación o una presión de sobrealimentación mayor. -Pueden ser más frágiles. 4. Las desventajas “subjetivas”. Siempre insisto en que los coches y las motos no son lavadoras y despiertan pasiones. Incluso a veces sus defectos se convierten en virtudes. Te pongo dos ejemplos, las vibraciones de las Harley Davidson auténticas y el sonido de los Porsche 911 refrigerados por aire. Las vibraciones y la mayor sonoridad son desventajas… Pero hay legiones de seguidores que siguen fieles a las Harley o que buscan los auténticos Porsche, que eran los de refrigeración por aire. El sonido y la vibración de un 3 cilindros, incluso con arboles de equilibrado, personalmente no me gusta. Hay magníficos motores de tres cilindros, siempre recuerdo al Ford Ecoboost, con un montón de premios… y en algunos de ellos, me llego a olvidar que son 3 cilindros… Como los árbitros, su mejor virtud es pasar desapercibidos. 5. ¿Por qué se usan? -En coches urbanos de tamaño y peso reducido las ventajas de los motores de 3 cilindros pueden ser interesantes. -En coches híbridos, donde el motor térmico puede tener un rendimiento inferior y falta espacio para el motor eléctrico y las baterías, su tamaño puede ser una ventaja importante. -Dan a la marca la oportunidad de hacer marketing y decir que sus motores de tres cilindros suponen una ventaja muy importante, aunque no lo sea… 6. Conclusión: Coche a coche. Generalizar siempre es complicado. Así que te diría que no descartes un coche por tener un motor de tres cilindros, ni lo elijas por la misma razón. Pruébalo, infórmate, consulta a gente que sepa, por ejemplo a nuestro consultorio, y decide luego. Coche del día Os he traído un ejemplo de lo que puede llegar a dar de si un motor de 3 cilindros como el que lleva el Ford Fiesta ST (2021) que con solo tres cilindros y 1,5 litros consigue 200 CV a 6.000 rpm. Eso sí, para conseguir este resultado lleva de todo: Turbo, intercooler, inyección directa, dos arboles de levas, 4 válvulas por cilindro…. No es el motor de mis sueños, pero justo es reconocer que va muy bien y en un coche como el fiesta, pequeño y que pesa solo 1,2 toneladas, encaja muy bien.

Hay quien dice que el motor es el corazón del coche… yo, no lo veo así. Para mí el motor es el alma. Sí, la carrocería, al fin y al cabo la piel y la estética de un coche, es importante… Seguro. Pero os pondré un ejemplo: Un Jaguar E es igual de bonito tenga motor eléctrico o el original de combustión, pero, el eléctrico, ¿tiene alma? Vamos a ver 10 motores que cambiaron la historia… #coches #autos #motores Siempre digo una cosa: Un periodista del motor tiene dos opiniones, la profesional y la personal. Como profesional, creo que los coches eléctricos e incluso los híbridos son magníficos, seguros, limpios, cómodos, sencillos de usar… muy recomendables. Como aficionado, por supuesto que veo esas ventajas, pero hoy por hoy, y como os decía al empezar, pienso que el motor es el alma del coche. Cada motor térmico tiene su personalidad, que si tiene bajos, que si estira mucho, que si tiene turbo o no, que si suena de una manera o de otra… los eléctricos… que queréis que os diga, la verdad: Son todos iguales. Vamos a ver 10 motores que cambiaron el mundo. En unos casos son tipos de motores y en otros motores específicos. El motor de Karl Benz: Benz en 1886 patentó literalmente un “vehículo impulsado por motor de gasolina” con el número 37.435. Llega el Diésel: Rudolf Diésel diseño un motor con mucha mayor compresión, sin chispa, el combustible no explotaba, sino que combustionaba y que trabajaba con exceso de aire… el resultado es que mejoró inmediatamente el rendimiento de los motores de gasolina… El turbo: Tecnología aeronáutica. El ingeniero suizo Alfred Büchi patenta “un compresor centrífugo con una turbina accionada por los gases de escape”. Se uso rápidamente en los aviones… Common Rail y #TDi: La inyección directa y el conducto de presión único, más conocido por su nombre en inglés, common rail dieron alas a los Diésel. Motor eléctrico: El futuro arranca en 1831. Sí, cuando Faraday descubre que la corriente crea campos magnéticos. Poco después se inventa el motor eléctrico de corriente continúa… Motor Híbrido: Lo mejor de dos mundos… o lo peor de dos mundos. Según se mire. El que se suele considerar primer coche híbrido de la historia lo diseño en el año 1900 un ingeniero que también os sonará: Ferdinand Porsche. Con 24 añitos diseño el Lohner Porsche. Motor Wankel, un motor donde nada sube y baja. Otro alemán, Félix Heinrich Wankel pensó que tener piezas pesadas moviéndose arriba y abajo, produciendo inercias y vibraciones, no era una buena idea. Y en 1929 diseñó el motor Wankel. Honda VTEC, distribución variable. Hasta que llegó este motor había que elegir entre hacer un motor con buenos bajos o que estirase mucho. Honda vio una forma de conciliar ambas cosas y luego se inventaron otros muchos sistemas en esta línea. El Bóxer de Mezger. Dos marcas alemanas han hecho del motor bóxer su seña de identidad, BMW en motos y Porsche en coches. Ha habido otras, como Citroën en el pasado y Subaru en la actualidad. Pero os voy hablar del Bóxer diseñado por el ingeniero Mezger. Motor Downsizing, menos es más. Para mi el motor emblemático de esta tendencia es el Ford EcoBoost, un motor que ha ganado multitud de premios. Un motor de tres cilindros, un litro, turbo y que rinde hasta 100 CV con unos consumos mínimos. Hemos hecho vídeos de motores revolucionarios, como el Koenigsegg Free Valve, el Liquid pistón o el español INNengine. De todos ellos hemos hablado en otros vídeos.

Paul and Anthony talk about adding more power to the Ford EcoBoost platform using tuning, some aftermarket parts, and E-85 fuel.

It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   CADILLAC CANCELS DEBUT OF ALL-ELECTRIC LYRIQ OVER COVID-19 CONCERNS "Cadillac  has cancelled the upcoming debut of the Lyriq, an all-electric mid-sized SUV designed to be an entry point into luxury brand’s new EV lineup, over concerns about the COVID-19 outbreak." reports TechCrunch: "GM’s luxury brand had planned to reveal the Lyriq on April 2 at an event in Los Angeles.  The Geneva International Motor Show was cancelled, as well as MWC in Barcelona and the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. The GM brand said in a statement that the event was being cancelled “out of an abundance of caution.”. The Lyriq is just one in a roster of electric vehicles that GM plans to bring to market in the next two years. The automaker revealed March 4 a sweeping plan to produce and sell EVs that hinges on a new electric architecture that will support a wide range of products across all of its brands, including Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC."   https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/09/cadillac-cancels-debut-of-all-electric-lyriq-over-covid-19-concerns/   MINI COOPER SE GETS 110-MILE EPA RATING "MINI just announced the final specifications for the MINI Cooper SE (aka MINI Electric), valid from March 2020. At the same time, the EPA released its range and energy consumption ratings." says InsideEVs; "We start with the EPA range rating, which is in line with previous estimates. The new specs released is energy consumption - slightly higher than in the case of BMW i3.        2020 MINI Cooper SE Hardtop 2 door EPA rating: range of 110 miles (177 km). BMW i3 is equipped with a 42.2 kWh battery, while the MINI Cooper SE only gets a 32.6 kWh pack. The motor is the same as in i3s."   MINI Cooper SE (MINI Electric) specs:   EPA range of 110 miles (177 km) WLTP range of 200-232 km (124-144 miles), WLTP energy consumption of 15.5-18.0 kWh/100 km 32.6 kWh (gross) and 28.9 kWh (net) battery pack (12 modules; 93,2 Ah cells) 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.3 seconds, 0-60 mph (96.5 km/h) in 6.9 seconds   TESLA SHARES PLUMMET "Tesla shares plummeted by 13.6% to $608 per share on Monday, dropping 6 percentage points more than the S&P for the day, as plunging oil prices and the continuing coronavirus outbreak weighed on investors." according to CNBC: "The oil price battles between Saudi Arabia and Russia could challenge Tesla’s electric vehicle and solar roof sales in markets where it remains more affordable for people to stick with fossil fuels, and where they are not incentivized to switch to renewables. Historically, when crude oil and gas prices decline, electric vehicle sales -- and solar installations -- slow down."   https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/09/tesla-stock-drops-as-cheap-oil-covid-19-challenge-electric-car-sales.html   GERMAN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY ARIKON WILL BUILD TESLA GIGAFACTORY "Tesla may have plans in mind for its newest factory in the German state of Brandenburg near Berlin, but someone has to actually build the thing. That someone will be German construction company Arikon, according to German news source EFahrer. " writes Clean Technica: "When Tesla needed someone to come in and clear the trees from the construction site, Arikon answered the call, using 36 harvesters and 18 forwarders to complete the work ahead of schedule (and before any more court challenges could materialize). In the process, it created 400 nesting sites nearby. Specialists were brought in to move anthills and relocate reptiles. More than three times as many trees will be planted to offset the loss of trees at the construction site."   https://cleantechnica.com/2020/03/06/german-construction-company-arikon-will-build-tesla-gigafactory-in-brandenburg/   OXFORD CITY SIGHTSEEING BUSES ARE GOING ELECTRIC "THE first electric open-top double decker bus has arrived in Oxford – helping to reduce air pollution ahead of the launch of the city's Zero Emission Zone." says local paper Oxford Mail: "The bus is the first of five open-top City Sightseeing Oxford buses, owned by the Oxford Bus Company, that are being retrofitted to electric. The bus company has made an investment of £350,000, including an investment of £80,000 to install the charging equipment for the double decker sightseeing buses, including a battery storage system to harness the energy produced by their solar panels."   https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/18292517.oxford-city-sightseeing-buses-going-electric/   EQC BY HOFELE IS BASED ON THE MERCEDES EQC Hofele are launching a new version of the Mercedes Benz EQC, the EQC by HOFELE and the car will come with a number of upgrades, the car was originally going to be unveiled at the cancelled Geneva Motor Show" reports Geeky GAdgets.com: "The EQC by HOFELE gets a range of styling upgrades over the standard car and it also gets some high end ‘Turbine’ wheels and more. The exterior of this EQC has unique HOFELE styling enhancements, subtle in design and detail, but they elevate the standard EQC to the premium luxury class of EV’s. Finished in the very exclusive Mercedes-Benz “Alubeam” paint, often described as “Liquid Metal”, this very expensive paint finish immediately lets us know that this EV is something very special."   https://www.geeky-gadgets.com/eqc-by-hofele-is-based-on-the-mercedes-eqc-09-03-2020/   GOODYEAR RECHARGE REGENERATING-TIRE CONCEPT AIMS TO CUT WASTE "Goodyear has developed a "self-generating" design to extend the life of tires, as well as make them more adaptable to different conditions." writes Green Car Reports: "The Goodyear ReCharge tire concept features a tread that can be replenished using fluid-filled capsules. So instead of replacing the whole tire, only the tread is replaced. In a new as-you-drive approach to the idea of the retread tire, the tread compound is made from "biological material" reinforced with fibers based on spider silk, Goodyear said. The compound is completely biodegradable, according to the company.  Because the tire is airless, drivers won't have to worry about maintaining pressures or fixing punctures, Goodyear noted."   https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1127362_goodyear-recharge-regenerating-tire-concept-aims-to-cut-waste   THE APEX AP-0 WILL BE A SURPRISINGLY LIGHTWEIGHT EV SPORTS CAR "While most electric supercars have giant batteries, big power and heavy weight figures, the Apex AP-0 will top the scales at just 1200kg. It'll be revealed this Friday" says Car Throttle: " It’s quite the achievement to build an electric car that weighs so little, as even the dinky Skoda Citigo e iV weighs a little bit more than that. You can put that skinny figure down to extensive use of carbon fibre in the chassis. There’s not much in the way of power or performance details yet, but it should be able to get close to the Apex AP-1 model revealed last year. That car used a 2.3-litre Ford EcoBoost engine out of the Focus ST and Mustang, and pushed out almost 400bhp for a 0-62mph time of just 2.5 seconds. With all the electric motor’s torque available instantly, we’d think that the electric AP-0 could match this figure.

Yes, you read the title right, emissions standards are a good thing.  If we didn't have them, we wouldn't have all the awesome engines that we have today. Muscle cars were already on the decline before the manufacturers had to do much of anything with emissions standards.  And having to clean up the exhaust on the cars forced them to make major improvements to the engines.  Yes it was painful for a while, but look what we have for engines now. As a comparison, let's look at the Ford 302 and the modern DOHC 5.0.  There is only like 9CC difference in displacement, so it is close enough to call them the same.  The highest power rating I could find for the 302 in the muscle car era was a Shelby HO version that put out 315 horsepower and 333 lb-ft of torque.  The 5.0 in Boss 302 trim made 444 HP and 380 lb-ft of torque. And the modern 5.0 is rated for 17 MPG city and 26 MPG highway with the manual transmission.  I would be surprised if the 302 could manage 17 MPG highway.  Yes, I know the overdrive transmission in the new car helps, as does the improved aerodynamics, but it is a big improvement. Now I think things may be going to far, since there are rumors that Chrysler is going to stop making V8 cars.  Sure it is just a rumor, but that would mean no longer having awesome engines like the Hellcat available.  Sure, I will probably never own one, but just the fact that they exist is great. Yes turbo V6 engines such as the Ford EcoBoost are awesome, but lets hope the V8s continue to be around.

Provarli per credere

On this week’s show, “father knows best” and in this case the patriarch we’re talking to is none other than the “father” of the very successful Ford EcoBoost technology. Dan Kapp is the Director of Ford Powertrain Research and Advanced, and we’ll be asking him what’s next for EcoBoost and what other powertrain goodies he’s working on for the Blue Oval. As you can guess, we’ll be getting into the news of the week including management shifts for Audi and Infiniti and the move of Road and Track magazine from its historic home in Newport Beach, California to Ann Arbor, Michigan. To discuss these topics and much more, John McElroy is joined by Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist, and Alisa Priddle from the Detroit Free Press.
