The Ford EcoBoost 1.6-liter B4164T engine is a small-displacement, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine known for blending performance and fuel efficiency.
Key Features
- Turbocharged Power: It utilizes a turbocharger to significantly increase power output, delivering performance typically associated with larger, naturally aspirated engines.
- Direct Injection: The engine features Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI), which precisely sprays fuel directly into the combustion chamber, optimizing the air-fuel mixture for better power and efficiency.
- Variable Valve Timing: It incorporates Twin independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) to continuously adjust the timing of both the intake and exhaust valves, maximizing torque across the RPM range and improving fuel economy.
Usage and Legacy
This specific 1.6L EcoBoost engine was a popular choice across various Ford and Volvo models (as part of a shared engine family, sometimes with slightly different designations), including the Ford Focus, Fiesta ST (in some markets), Mondeo, and Kuga, providing a spirited yet economical driving experience.
