It has the same 350 lb/ft so they must have shifted the torque towards lower RPM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that the torque was the same also. So why the HP difference? They did say different turbo and cylinder head from the old Ecoboost Mustang, so why not more HP than the Focus?

Because if peak torque stays the same but you move the torque lower in the RPM band it lowers peak HP (simple math). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGIron Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 #akirby. Do you know that the shareprice of Sintercast has rised 60 % this year? Thanks to Ford, the main customer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it. HP= Torque X RPM / 5252 319.87 = 350 X 4800 / 5252 349.86 = 350 X 5250 / 5252 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s also why diesels usually have huge torque numbers but lower HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
