Duratec 3.5L, 4V Engine
Manufacturer Ford Motor Company
Also called Duratec 35
Mazda MZI
Production 2006–
Predecessor Duratec 30

The Duratec 35 (code-name Cyclone) is a family of automobile engines from the Ford Motor Company. The first version, a 3.5 L V6, appeared in September 2006 in the Lincoln MKZ. Its displacement can be increased to 3.8 liters, meaning a Duratec 38 could come soon after. Mazda calls its version of the Cyclone the MZI.

Official SAE certified engine output is 265 hp (198 kW) and 250 ft·lbf (339 N·m) on 87 octane gas, but could reach 300 hp (224 kW) once planned features like gasoline direct injection are added. This is a substantial upgrade in power from the Duratec 30, and bests all competitive engines except the newest version of Nissan's VQ35DE and Toyota's 2GR-FE[1].

TwinForce

A direct-injected, twin-turbocharged version of the all-aluminum Duratec 35 has been developed, producing 415 hp (309 kW) and 400 ft·lbf (542 N·m) of torque. The TwinForce 3.5L V6 is intended to deliver the performance (on demand) of a typical large displacement 6.0 L-class V8, with the normal driving (highway) fuel efficiency of a 3.0 L to 4.0 L class V6.

Newton metre is the unit of moment (torque) in the SI system. ...


Gasoline direct injection more precisely manages fuel flow into the cylinders, for more efficient combustion and emissions control, when compared to port injection. Twin-turbocharging forces more air into the engine on demand, allowing additional fuel to be injected and burned, producing more power: 118 hp (88 kW) per liter in the case of the Twinforce. or GDi is a variant of fuel injection employed in modern two-stroke and four stroke petrol engines. ... Twin-Turbo, also called bi-turbo by some, refers to a turbocharged engine on which two turbochargers compress the intake charge. ... hp, see HP (disambiguation) The horsepower (hp) is the name of several non-metric units of power. ... The watt (symbol: W) is the SI derived unit of power, equal to one joule per second. ...


Technologies for the twin turbocharging system were developed in cooperation with Volvo Cars, and the gasoline direct injection system is a joint development between Ford and Bosch based on Bosch DFI systems already in producton. Volvo Cars, or Volvo Personvagnar, is a swedish automobile maker founded in 1927 in the city of Gothenburg in Sweden. ...
