The Focus ST uses the 2.0, the RS uses the 2.3  Add one more to the list!

I completely forgot about the ST, I know the RS uses a slightly different 2.3 to the mustang as theyre having issues with it in the focus

I actually didnt know this.... Mostly because I'd never consider a 4 cylinder mustang. 6 cylinder is borderline heresy as it is

being a 4 cylinder is half of a V8... i think it's actually more appropriate than a 6.. which is completely unrelated

 

but really there's always been a fun mustang and the econobox mustang. i was never so sure about how ford marketed the 2.3L mustang though, it seems they went for "oh no this is a performance car too like the V8". when my friend matt had his 2.3L mustang that thing was pretty fun though (a light front end in a mustang feels GREAT! that was the biggest perk), especially with a tune. at least until it exploded

The 4.3 v6 in the s10 is real rough above 4500. 

yeah cause it's huge and heavy and throwing all of it's weight around lol

 

wasn't exactly a "free revving" engine.. that 4.3. more known for it's torque than anything

 

V6's seem to do best when smaller than ~4L. 4 cylinders when smaller than ~2.5

Less forgot the ST existed more forgot it wasnt the 2.5 anymore

The RS is having issues with it dumping its coolant into the cylinders due to either bad headgaskets or the head/block warping as they cool down at different rates

I saw that while researching fr my friend who asked me RS vs Type R... She lives in Florida so AWD isn't needed, but she's like me; The civic Type R looks too edgy... Head gaskets are a PITA from my very novice mechanic knowledge

head gaskets aren't too bad if you don't have to deal with a timing chain. but you do on those engines.

 

with a timing belt things seem simpler, at least that's how it was when i changed a HG on a miata.

no they are all cursed. every one of them.

 

ill never touch any ford 2.3L no matter what "revision" it is without forged rods and now, whatever solution they have for HG issues lol

We've not had many problems here in the UK other than in the RS, I know of a few that are on their third engine after being fitted with fixed engines, oh and theyve done less than 15k

This just in, my ST hit 15k, that means the 2.0 engine is bulletproof

Honestly one of my favorite V6s. I'd love to do a turbo 4.3 94 single cab short bed

it would be quite a torque monster with a smallish quick-spool turbo.

It would be a really fun cruiser. Those V6s are pretty fun in stock form too

[bcredeur97]

I still think turbo's are hard on rods...

 

mostly because at spool up the sudden increase in force applied to the rods is not exactly healthy. with a supercharger it's not a rush of force, it's much more gradual....i much rather superchargers for daily driven cars... but those aren't nearly as efficient either. so trade offs must be made i guess.

 

if you look at factory supercharged cars they just seem to last longer... plus with the recent tests done by motortrend on the engine masters show... they showed how they managed to push a stock typical V8 chevy small block with cast rods and pistons well over 700hp with a supercharger. i mean nothing will last long like that but i bet with a turbo it would have blown up DURING the show to achieve those numbers.

They do have 140 from standard

 

Yeah, but the ones I could possibly get are the 100hp versions. Hence the need for a tune.

Why do they always destroy pre production cars? It's mind boggling.

 

They could have re-used so many parts wtf
