4.5L Power Stroke V6 Turbo Diesel

BofoMills · May 02, 2005, 4:38 PM

What do you guys think of this new ford engine ? supposeably it was going into a F-150 im not sure, I forgot but I read about it in a magazine and I thought it was the dumbest thing i've ever seen.. It wasnt made because they somehow couldnt get it to fit right or it didnt seem right so it didnt get any far but it will make a good crate engine if "International" slaps on a good price for it. Well a price thats just right for any person who would buy this.

Its the biggest v6 i;ve seen yet so far and the fact that you cant even see the throttle bodies on it because of the turbines and the turbo piping.. One reason I think its dumb because its a v6 turbo diesel and I think diesel should stick to Inline 6 , V8's, etc.. I will try to post pictures or maybe scan them if I cant find any. Post your comments on about this engine, tell me what you think. I hope im not the only one here who thinks its a dumb and waste of money..

Actually im not sure if it was in a F-150 but im pretty sure thats what they intended it to be in. I might be wrong or right at the same time im not sure im confusing myself so im going to post this turd and go some place else that understands me

I think by switching to a V6 they're going for a more high end oriented diesel...I don't know what that will accomplish, maybe it'll be less obnoxious sounding?

Yeah i heard about how ford was going to make a smaller diesel engine targetted for the f-150 series..i see there moving ahead and putting it in there commercial series.

Kirstyn · May 02, 2005, 5:27 PM

A V6 in a F150...hmm...I don't think that'll sell too well.

xMustangManx 70 · May 02, 2005, 5:56 PM

i dont know..they wanted to put it in because it would have a higher torque output..whatever floats there boat.

I could see it in the Ranger, but not in the F150.

Its genius. Bravo Ford, bravo. Hell, I would probably buy one.

the 2006 diesel Chevy Silverados will be a lot quieter and are supposed to sound just like a petrol engine.

anyways, this chould be a good engine. whats wrong with it? its pretty big, it will have a lot of torque, it will be moderatly fast and it will get decent gas mileage. its not going to be any slower than the regular F-150 anyway. accually, it will probly be faster because it will have around the same hp but a lot more torque. sounds like a very good idea. and maybe like a 3.0 liter diesel for the Ranger.

you know, bigger isnt always better. besides 4.5 liters is pretty big nowadays.

I have always wondered why Ford hasn't switched to smaller engines and turbo charged them. Trucks are one of the largest consumers of gas in the WORLD, next to Semis and SUVs. It never made sense to me why they didn't switch to smaller engines with turbos to save gas and match or increase output. There was one small problem. Torque. While smaller V6s could probably surpass the hp output of a 5.4L V8, the torque numbers would probably fall short. There was something I never thought of. Diesel. The one engine that produces more torque than any gas engine of equal size (to an extent). Its genius. The V6 probably has the same output HP wise, and might even increase the torque output, not to mention incredible fuel economy. Finally, Ford has impressed me with one of their production models.

BofoMills · May 02, 2005, 10:33 PM

IMO it would of been better if they did a inline 6 cylinder or a big v8 turbo diesel, it would sell more..

Rangers should of stuck with the big-block 460 c.i. engines, most people would of bought those, I know I probably would, actually not really because id have a big truck for nothing.. But I could see it in the modern rangers like the Edge and the boring looking ones that just came out.

But most of the prospective F150 buyers [many are rednecks, others are ignorant], look at the F150 vs Silverado vs Ram. V6 vs. V8 vs. V8. They know, D'uh that the Ford is out of the question.

they have a 6.0 liter diesel and they used to have a 7.3 liter diesel. they dont need another big turboed V8 diesel. plus, why do you want a BIGGER engine. a 4.5 liter V6 wouldnt get good gas mileage as it is, why even bigger!? seriously, lets just waste up all our the gas just because we wanted it "bigger".

the biggest engine it has is a 4.0 liter V6. since when did they use a 460? i mean, thats like 8 liters in a small truck.

BofoMills · May 03, 2005, 4:09 PM

Try knowledge, before trying to correct me.. Try '79 and above.. Theres been alot of rangers with 351's 460's..

People perfer inline 6 turbo diesels then v6, "rednecks" would like a big v8 engine and go out to buy one, its the market world guys.. What ever sells they make. That v6 turbo diesel would be better if it used octane, and they started selling it as Ford Racing. That would be a great crate engine.. disagree if you want, you're still wrong.
