    For almost 5 years, I had the Fiesta Ecoboost. Despite its small 997cc 3-cylinders, turbocharging made it a potent powerplant for the Fiesta. The Asian tune is set to 125hp * 6k rpm and 170Nm * 1800 rpm with an overboost function pushing torque to 200Nm from 4500 rpm onwards.

    The engine does rev higher at idle rpm compared to the usual 1.3L to 1.6L 4-cylinder engines (950 rpm vs 700 rpm). However, power and torque delivery is better than a 1.6L NA. There is noticeable turbo lag but once the engine revs at 2k rpm, the engine just goes alive and the tach just goes to 6k rpm easily.

    Is that 200Nm of torque during overboost mode sustained until redline? If it is then the car is actually making something like 168hp in overboost mode

    200 Nm = 147.51 lb-ft
    147.51 lb-ft * 6000rpm / 5252 = 168.51 hp

    With my experience driving the Fiesta Ecoboost, the overboost feature is only for a short period, a few seconds (maybe half a minute). It goes from 4500 to 5500 usually.

    In Europe, the top tune for the 1.0L Fox engine is at 140hp/210Nm.
