bdoz Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Didn't know if anybody saw this, but MSR set new track records at Daytona with new v6 3.5L ecoboost engine two days ago. It was a fun long day of work but ford was really happy with us. pretty cool what roush yates did with the engine. here is a link to the video if you want to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 The driver look like he's 14. And LOL "Amazing it took a prototype to beat a record set by a stock car based on a 1988 Ford Thunderbird that was naturally aspirated. " Cool Vid though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigOxley Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 anyone know details on the engine? i'm guessing it's not a production longblock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 anyone know details on the engine? i'm guessing it's not a production longblock. At the end of the video some Ford Racing guy said it's the same engine that's in production cars. He then quickly corrected himself and said same block and heads. One can assume higher quality internals, better cams, big snails, etc, etc, race car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdoz Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 That ford racing guy was Jamie Allison, the director of Ford Racing. About the motor I don't know complete details but there is a member on here who works for roush yates, he might let you know the details. I can tell you the car it self was built with same parts as our 60 and 6 car that we ran all season, the engine was a whole different story, lots more parts to worry about breaking and a lot more heat in engine bay. Also after we broke the records, the next day we had to remove motor so the officials could measure internals , to make sure it was within spec. This motor is what we will be running next year in our prototypes, we will just be running a lot less boost. the motor had more in it , but i believe fuel rails couldn't feed anymore fuel, it is direct injection, with fly by wire. this motor is putting out over 700 hp @ wheels out of a stock block and heads.

coltboostin Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 anyone know details on the engine? i'm guessing it's not a production longblock. I don't see why not- car was probably only making 600-650 whp to achieve those speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
