Phoon Hoon Member 156 Member For: 21y 5m 23d Posted 11/07/06 02:08 PM Posted 11/07/06 02:08 PM I have learnt from another forum that FPV have registered the following name with the Australian Trademark Office.FPV FORCE 8Lodgement Date: 24-APR-2006Class/es: 12Status: Indexing ApprovedNow, it's is FPV (not Ford) and I'm hoping that the name refers to a forced induction 8 cylinder. Of course, I'm only speculating...

FSIX Member 566 Member For: 20y 11m 8d Posted 11/07/06 03:38 PM Posted 11/07/06 03:38 PM Next Model... its well known its code named project Orion.Ford Modular Engine with Positive displacement blower sitting on the top, same as Mustang set-up.It was singed off on April this year, the only thing we want to know wether its a create engine from the states or the engine will be continued to be built here and the blowers bolted on.The initial 6 P/D Blower engines were create engines from the states were sent over for testing 18 months ago.

Capacity is great and so is boost, combine them and you have a leathel package. they did this with the F6 and if there is to be a F8 I would be putting my hand up for a purchase.

And what block it carries, the Boss block with a PD Charger on top has to be as heavy as a Big Block. Maybe they'll run some limited edition thing with an Alloy Block?Getting the weight off, especially off the nose and the GT's will be ahead on the F6's again I think.Lumpy
F6 UTE - Track Bound EVO III - Member 3,367 Member For: 21y 9m 18d Gender: Male Location: Strapped in and holding on Posted 12/07/06 04:01 AM Posted 12/07/06 04:01 AM Funny that.Just the other week a guy said to me. 'F6 eh, what's that?" I told him what it was.He didn't quite understand the link between Tornado/Typhoon, the F rating of Said winds and the fact it was turbo a charged 6. It ties together nicely, but not for a resident of bogaan.. He them promptly said " Is there an F8". I said no, there's no such thing, the strongest 'F' wind is 6, hence the name. He " nah dude, car, F8, is there one" to which I said no. The GT is the V8 equivilent, but that only blows hot air.. maybe.....untill now....
