Ecoboost

Just got back from ecoboost training. Very interesting engine indeed! Tons of power and torque, but still V6 economy.

Any remarkable tricks to achieve this, or is it just a matter of really optimizing all the components of the engine?

Dual turbos (one on each exhaust manifold). High pressure fuel system with direct injection.

It has been a great engine so far. 25mpg combined and lots of oomph.

I'd like to see one dropped in a truck... It has to happen eventually

Its more of a high revving engine.

I thought the torque curve was essentially flat from 1500-5000? In the car we have we that engine, it pulls from very low rpms.

It does. The torque curve goes straight up from 1500 and stays there, but I don't think it will make a very good truck motor (like the 3.0 didn't, good car engine, lousy truck motor).

Wish I had a dollar for all the oil leaks, front covers, head gasket, and clutch jobs I've done on them.
