Our i6 would have one of the longest cranks which is not well balancedAs it's not safe spinning over 6500rpm due to it's torsional twists andPoor counter weight design not to mention it is just cast iron. In comparisment the shorter in length and stroke steel coyote crank has theAdvantage in all those departments. Also the less degrees of crankshaft revolution between combustionCycles will also help in smoother running. There is one way to find a answer on the reliability is to see if anyone canGet testing info from ford. I have heard of testing from Ford before on the wot tests whereAn engine is run till it stops. If someone could find out the duration of each i6 and coyote it mightJust confirm how much more stronger and reliable the forged Coyote bottom endIs compared to the cast I6. Also nobody has mentioned the fact of engine block material howIt will have less head gasket sealing problems as head to block is sameMaterial and again shorter lengths less expansion differences. As with cast iron block to alloy head. Another advantage is that each cylinder will run at a closer tempAs the i6 being longer means the rear cylinders run hotter than a compactV8 as the coolant has passed 5 cylinders before it gets to cool number 6V8 each end cylinder only sees 3 cylinders each before coolant reaches rear cylinders. This means less fuel compensation for correct afr's and anotherAdvantage in being able to run smoother than a i6 as more balancedTemp front to rear. This again goes for the cylinder head. A easy way to feel the advantage of a engine smoothness to cylinderCount would be to compare a lawn mower to a Harley then the HarleyWith a say r1. See the picture, more cylinders the smoother a engineWill run. The i6 is great but the v8 is the ultimate. Fastest combustion engines in the world are v8 top fuel. Not single cylinder, i2, v2, i3, i4, v4, i5, i6, v6, v10, v12 etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBOO57 Member 538 Member For: 15y 4m 29d Posted 15/12/10 01:51 AM Share Posted 15/12/10 01:51 AM according to what you are saying, the tyres will need to make a 1.1 second difference? for a F6310 to run 11.7 sec's ???Not what I said at all......Tyres are a part of it along with a tune.....Not sure how you could misread what I said?

Far from it. It is just not the quality of what theCoyote has on offer. Never could possible compare it to Gemini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XR09 Guests Posted 15/12/10 03:01 AM Share Posted 15/12/10 03:01 AM The crank in the I6 is the big problem. It's why the motor rattles itself loose.It's never going to be a rever either. Not with that long a stroke. But that is what gives the T its grunt so low. Any why it has so little lag. Just a pitty it sounds like a wet fart lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the idea of a truely sorted Ford V8 with the same modding characteristics and reliabilty for the mild to not so mild upgrade. Not to mention that its not as heavy as the old V8 is drooool city. Add to that Mr Bean talking forced induction as well, well I am off to play with me pen*s.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunna Donating Members 813 Member For: 18y 2m 18d Posted 15/12/10 09:22 AM Share Posted 15/12/10 09:22 AM but has someone actually driven the car (not a passeneger) and put forward a positive review. Clearly I'm invisible or my posts are all written in white font on a white background. As I've said before, the miami is a better engine than the I6, and the cars are faster. However, the limiting factor for both powertrains is the driveline/chassis, hence the gap cannot be opened up (detuned, no intercooler, etc) as much as it was/could be, for the sake of durability. Ford is happy for you to tinker in the aftermarket, just don't come sooking when things break - Ford designs and releases a config they can back (and even then there are special causes as is well known!), and sometimes the compromise must be performance.End of the day it comes down to what you prefer to drive - I think its fantastic that there is a genuine choice between I6T and V8 at last. Whilst I love my I6T, the linear delivery of a manual GT (I prefer the ZF with the turbo) is going to sway me one day, but I'm not rushing out to buy one for a few years yet...
