Ford SCTi Gen2 specs: 122 ci (2.0L) 4-cylinder, 3.445 x 3.272 in (87.5 x 83.1 mm) bore and stroke, 9.7:1 compression. Rated 245 hp. DOHC.
The Ford SCTi Gen2 is oversquare — the 3.4449" bore exceeds the 3.2717" stroke by 5.3% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 3.2717" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,350 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 30.5 ci (500 cc).
9.7:1 on aluminum heads is in the range that usually runs on pump premium; aluminum sheds heat faster than iron, which makes the same number a little more forgiving.
It is one of 24 engines in the EcoBoost family, sitting between the 61 ci and 213.4 ci members. Factory fitments include the Ford Fusion, Ford Edge, Ford Escape and 3 others.
