==1.6 Turbo==

===European Turbo 1.6===
A turbocharged version of the 1.6&nbsp;L was developed by Ford Europe for the RS Turbo Escort and the later [[Ford Fiesta RS Turbo]]. It makes {{cvt|132|hp-metric|kW|0}} at 6,000&nbsp;rpm, and {{cvt|133|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 3,000&nbsp;rpm. The block is modified to provide an oil return from the [[turbocharger]]. [[Crankshaft]] and [[connecting rod]]s are identical to the standard 1.6&nbsp;L models, but the [[Mahle GmbH|Mahle]] pistons are unique to the RS Turbo, and are manufactured using a pressure cast method which makes them considerably stronger and more expensive than the normal cast pistons. The compression ratio was reduced to 8.3:1, allowing the use of higher boost pressure. The engine only needs {{cvt|7|psi|bar|abbr=on}} of boost to produce its quoted power output.

Applications
* 1980–1986 [[Ford Escort (Europe)#MkIII|Ford Escort Mk 3]]
* 1986–1990 [[Ford Escort (Europe)#Mk4|Ford Escort Mk 4]]
* 1989–1995 [[Ford Fiesta (third generation)|Ford Fiesta Mk 3]]

===North American Turbo 1.6===
The North American 1.6 turbocharged CVH was developed by Ford's Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) with help from Jack Roush for 1984 and 1985 in the Ford EXP Turbo, Ford Escort GT Turbo, and Mercury Lynx RS Turbo. At {{cvt|120|hp|0|abbr=on}}, its output is 50% higher than the carbureted North American 1.6&nbsp;L HO, making it the most powerful production CVH offered in North America while returning impressive fuel efficiency and without reducing the engine's lifespan. The turbocharged engine featured a specially designed cam profile (0.240", comparable to the 1.6 HO and EFI camshafts), a Ford Performance/SVO modified head (comparable to European 1.6s), the EFI intake manifold, a unique cast exhaust manifold, low-dome pistons, and Ford's top-of-the-line EFI and ECU. These engines only appeared in the 1984–1985 Ford Escort GT Turbo and 1984–1985 Ford EXP Turbo, of which only about 10,000 were made in total. The 1.6 turbocharged Fords came standard with a TRX package that included upgraded suspension and specialty Michelin tires.

Applications
* 1984–1985 [[Ford Escort (North America)#First generation (1981–1990)|Ford Escort]]
* 1984–1985 [[Mercury Lynx]]
* 1984–1985 [[Ford EXP]]
