Livernois Motorsports

Livernois Motorsports purchased a running, 16,000 EcoBoost engine as a development piece to get a look inside the engine and develop new products for the platform.

The crankshaft looks great, the rods also look pretty good, but the piston looked like it could be the weak point if pushed hard.

This led us to the development of a new forged piston which is a 2618 material. It has much more material and revised cross section.

Are the stock pistons forged or cast?

Have you guys cab-off'd the f150 yet? Curious if its much like the older f150s. How heavy is the new piston compared to the old one? Same SCR?

jcain

HYPER, cast

Was that motor pulled from an F150, Flex, SHO? Are there differences in boost of the 3? And what do you suppose this new piston can handle, boost wise? Any testing on it yet?

Thanks!

The fueling is what is keeping them from big power. I'm sure they can do some crazy no2 tunes now.

Very nice.

looks great! Does the forged piston have a different diameter than the stock hyper? Are different rings required?

Nice work. I see a lot more spacing between the rings, and between the top ring and the piston top. That's where the strength is needed most!
