Reliability 4.8; Write a review Ford's 3.5 Duratec is one of their more reliable engines when taken care of properly, which I'm thankful the previous owner seems to have done. 3.5L Cyclone What is a 3.5 L Ti VCT V6 engine? One of the engine variants originally developed by Ford is the series of 3.5 L Ti-VCT Engine. This series is a part of the Ford Cyclone family. The Ford Cyclone Family itself is a group of Ford engines that naturally aspirated gasoline. Previously, Ford Cyclone was known as Duratec, developed by this brand in 2006. Reliability over time-Ford 3.3 v6 vs 2.7 ecoboost. The F-150's I'm looking at come with one of these two engines. I test drove one with the 3.3 in it the other day and it seemed to be adequate enough. Would make the tires chirp and get on out into traffic. WAY stouter than the 4.2 they used to use that was in the '98 F-150 my mom had way back when. It's a TT 3L RWD drag car) Increasing stroke will decrease reliability as well. Though the amount you could get is relatively small. Like I mentioned the stock clearances are minimal to begin with. Ford's new 3.5L Duratec has a completely different block in order to achieve the longer stroke. So even their "brainiacs" knew something. 2. Not really. 12439 posts · Joined 2013. #13 · Jun 28, 2015. Basically, with the 3.6l/6-speed combo, you get a 300hp engine with the same fuel efficiency (or better) as the 3.5L 211hp engine. On the highway, some have reported as high as 40mpg at certain speeds! City mileage is probably about the same between the two. The EPA rates that engine (in a 2WD F-150) at 20 mpg in the city, 26 mpg on the highway, and 22 mpg combined. Going 4WD takes those figures to 21 combined/19 city/24 highway. More power, and still more fuel economy, it seems. (Keep in mind that the 3.3-liter still uses Ford’s six-speed automatic, while the 2.7 receives the new 10-speed.) Ford’s 3.7-liter V-6 makes 302 hp and 278 lb-ft of torque in the truck and ostensibly replaces the old 292-hp, 4.6-liter V-8, which it bests in hp, modernity, and fuel efficiency. The result is In 2011, the 3.7 Cyclone V6 became a standard engine in the Ford Mustang replacing the 4.0L Cologne V6. The 3.7L Duratec has a cast aluminum alloy cylinder block with contemporary architecture. It has a removable rear main seal cover plate and a structural rear sump cast aluminum oil pan. All Cyclone engines have the same 86.6 mm (3.41 in) stroke.
In addition to that, the upgrade also includes an air-to-air intercooler and pipes. The Ford 3.0 EcoBoost engine employs a reverse-flow cooling system, auto stop-start, and variable displacement oil pump. The fuel is delivered through a direct fuel injection system which provides precise fuel management and eliminates detonation tendencies.
