I'd be surprised if it surpasses 1100lbs on a 802A.

I'm sure they would put bigger turbos on, but still wouldn't trust an engine that gets almost 2/3's of it's power from turbos. If you want that kind of power, supercharge a V8, or ecoboost a V8. That's really what I wish Ford would do, is release a TTV8. just imagine the power and performance they could get out of say, a 4.6L V8 with ecoboost tech. That's an engine that would leave all the other competitors in the dust.

Ford honestly doesn't need to tt a v8. A 6 will give you more than enough power for any application short of ultimate track toy. Just have to design the engine right and you can pump out 550-600 hp from a 6 with plenty of reliability. The Europeans have been doing it for decades successfully.

Lol yeah but we're not talking about needs here this is all want!

What do you think other turbo engines do? Boosted engines are low compression, when they aren't on boost they are super weak.

And FYI the 2.7EB has a peak boost of around 30psi. Thats stock. Just off of air pressure 2/3rds of it's power is from the turbos.

I really dont expect to see an EB V8 from Ford, ever.

My HP predictions were only spot on...

IIRC from what i hear you're about 10 psi high on the 2.7EB boost output.

There is no way that any stock Gas engine runs 30 psi... Perhaps the turbos are capable of throwing out 30 psi but I would shudder at the charge temps would be. Not to mention those tiny things would never hold that through the rev range...

That's oftly hard to do with two cylinders missing from the factory. Quality control needs to get their **** together.

Thought it seemed high, but that was the number I heard. Looking around some more, looks like you're correct.
