2.0L eBoost system...

[TIDALWAVE]

Is the FCA Turbo Boost system the same as the BorgWarner eBoost that they have test driven in a 2015 Mustang EcoBoost Turbo? No present plans to mass produce the system for Ford, but they are going to put it in Mercedes.
They both have a 48Volt Lithium battery in a 'shoe-box' mounted on the underbody.
The BW eBoost really increases low RPM torque and cuts way down on turbo lag in the test Mustang. I own an EcoBoost turbo Mustang and would not mind having a retro-fit.

The short answer is no.
FCA is calling theirs eTorque. It's a belt starter generator. Basically, an electric motor drives a belt that is able to actually power the drive the wheels. (ie mild hybrid) it provides power when accelerating from a stop and is able to drive the wheels when coasting and at slow speeds. It also provides restarting functions when the gas motor stops for ESS. All powered by a 24v battery.

I admit I'm not very familiar with the borgwarner system. They call theirs eBooster. What I gather is that this is an electrically assisted charging system that uses a flow compressor driven by an electric motor placed as a component before or after the turbocharger.
