Difference: I4 1.6 vs 1.5 ecoboost?
Discussion
Does anyone know what the difference is between these two engines other than the shorter stroke for the 1.5?
The 1.6 is what I need for my project build and is widely supported in terms of tuning. Only issue is it wasn’t sold here in the Middle East. We only got the 1.5 which I understand was aimed at reducing tax in Chinese markets and was released some years later.
The slight drop in displacement doesn’t bother me as these things are easy tuned way above the limits I need to get to. I just want to make sure that all the tuning parts are going to be compatible. Likely most of the ancillaries will
Be junked.
Does anyone know, or can point me to a resource where I might find out what the internal differences are?
