Livernois Motorsports Forged EcoBoost Piston

[LMSRick]

Livernois Motorsports purchased a running, 16,000 EcoBoost engine as a development piece to get a look inside the engine and develop new products for the platform.

The crankshaft looks great, the rods also look pretty good, but the piston looked like it could be the weak point if pushed hard.

This led us to the development of a new forged piston which is a 2618 material. It has much more material and revised cross section.

Very Nice. As in pushing hard do you mean, bigger turbos, NOS if possible.

Normally I'd prefer a shorter skirt, but in this case I'll make an exception. ;-)

Looks nice. Also looks the stock piston has a lot of carbon buildup for 16k...

 

[SHOdded]

a result of gdi, perhaps?

 

[Off Road SHO]

Ooooooo! Do I see an increase in piston height? Giving us higher compression?

Turbo mods, heads, etc.

This is normal with DI vehicles, but a lot of guys are running meth injection now and it helps to take care of that.

This is a stock compression piston.

Tom has old eyes.

Tom has old eyes.

And all the other parts too!

And all the other parts too!

I hope they aren't polished

Are you going to use any coatings on the piston? Skirts, crown?

Yes, we typically coat the crown and skirts. This was just the first design and not the finished part.

You guys have really taken the lead on Ecoboost performance, I cant wait to see what things can really do when getting to more serious mods.

hmm with twin turbo kits and these pistons wonder how far we can go in the future my mouth is droooling woo!
