AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
June 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner, a global leader in clean and efficient
technology solutions for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles,
helps the second-generation 3.5-liter Ford EcoBoost®
gasoline engine deliver greater torque, efficiency and fuel
economy. Launched in the 2017 F-150, the engine features BorgWarner
twin wastegated turbochargers, variable cam timing (VCT) phasers
and a complete engine timing system.
"BorgWarner engineers are experts in improving engine
performance and efficiency with advanced technologies built for
durability," said James R. Verrier,
President and Chief Executive Officer, BorgWarner. "Our
turbochargers help Ford's very well-received 3.5-liter EcoBoost
engine deliver best-in-class torque for a V-6, while our VCT
phasers provide precise valve timing to improve fuel economy. Each
component of the engine timing system is also optimized to resist
wear, reduce friction, and decrease noise and vibration."
BorgWarner's twin turbochargers employ electrically activated
wastegates to deliver high engine boost. Made from a high
temperature resistant alloy developed in the aerospace industry,
light-weight turbine wheels respond quickly for immediate response
even at low engine speeds.
BorgWarner's VCT phasers optimize valve timing and engine
breathing. Actuated by oil pressure, the phasers respond quickly to
engine demands over an expanded operating speed range.
BorgWarner's latest 6.35 mm silent engine timing chain features
E-polish for lower friction as well as super finish apertures and
thick links for increased strength and durability. Arms and guides
are engineered with specialized materials to reduce mass and
package size for improved fuel economy and reduced emissions.
Hydraulic tensioners balance chain tension and optimize control
over the entire engine operating range for increased engine
efficiency and lower noise, vibration and harshness.
