GM has Ecotec, only thing I've heard of

 

Had that happen to me before

While I agree that high RPMs can be more unstable (on any combustion engine)
I believe you are overlooking the fact that boost pressures add stress, and even worse is boost + RPMs




I've really enjoyed the technical yet still civil discussion with Wookie. My hats off to you sir

 

47 posts and it hasnt gotten out of hand YET, This has to be a record! Good Job Fellas

 

Thank you I don't take things like this personally and try to learn what I can and educate if I can. If you're ever in the Little Rock area I'll buy you a beer.

 

I'm shocked!

No cheers throw'd, aysses chapped, mamas slapped, fistes a-cuffed, byurs chucked, er any udder sich debauchery's 'at?

Reckon it's on account o' folks a-gettin' more cozy-like with the witchcraft whut's know'd as Ecoboost?

 

Ecoboost sucks. 5.0 Rulez!












lol. Just kidding.

 

 

Hahahaha!! Did you just make that?

 

No, Just a google search, there are a couple good ones out there

 

 

Wow did I start a firestorm or what?! Thanks for the input guys, looking for as much info as possible. I plan on keeping this one a long ttime, 8-10 years so longevity and maintenance are a big concern. I know my crystal ball isn't working too well so no one knows what either engine will be like with 120k-180k miles. The most it will ever tow would be a car/trailer combo or firewood but mostly hauling the boy to hockey or soccer.

 

 

Classic!

 

My head hurts haha

This is the best thread ever!

And now there is even hilarious pictures to go with it!

Thank you specifically to Patman and Wookie for making my brain just drip out of my ears haha. Learned a hell of a lot!

 

But let me add in my best attempt at ol' bubbers axcent

Ya can't be slappin one uh them snow pusher boards on tuh nose end of e' ekobost

It's actually this that I'm so torn on. I want an Ecoboost but If I decide that I want to push some snow around and get a plow I won't be able too.
