To keep down emissions, the engines need cold air--hence, the turbochargers, intercoolers and four valves per cylinder.
3-liter Duratec HE four-cylinder has been upgraded with high-compression pistons, a redesigned intake manifold, two intercoolers (one air-to-air unit behind the front fascia and a second air-to-air conditioning piece in the engine compartment), a Vortech centrifugal supercharger, dual fuel rails, hydrogen-tolerant fuel injectors, and an Aston Martin V12-sourced coil-on-plug ignition system.
Intakes behind the doors feed air to dual intercoolers that enhance turbocharger performance by reducing the intake charge temperature.
