Yes, the Mercury Villager and Nissan Quest engine, 3.0L and 3.3L, are all freewheeling engines at the insistance of Ford to enter into the joint venture program. The Maxima and Pathfinder with the same engine remained non- freewheeling (interference engines).

I work for Ford and worked on the Villager program from 1989 to 2002 and was personally involved in the development of this program.

What are the advantages of free turbine engine over gas turbine engine?

A gas turbine engine will usually yield more power by weight than a piston engine. Main downside is that it can't be throttled very well. Energy efficiency isn't all that good to start with, and will drop right down if it has to be operated outside its optimum range.

What is a free flow exhaust system?

it is an exhaust system installed in trucks to make you have better gas mileage. it increases your mpgs at least 5 mpg. it usually is not used in cars because there aren't many places under the hood that it can be stored. In trucks, it is installed above the engine, but you can also store it inside of other gaps throughout the engine. Cars dont have large gaps in their engine, so it cant be installed in there. Other than increasing your gas mileage, it also makes it run quieter.In regards to the above answer.........that is not really accurate.Actually, A free flow exhaust is a type of system installed in vehicles for increased power and a sporty look.They are designed to remove engine emissions more efficiently than standard exhaust systems.Free flow exhaust systems are designed for looks and increased efficiency and power in vehicles.They are typically made of 100 percent stainless steel, which offers a nice sporty look.They weigh less than standard exhaust systems, which helps account for increased fuel economy and improvement in acceleration.Exhaust systems are used for removing spent gas from a vehicle's engine; therefore exhaust systems play a role in engine tuning and performance.A free flow system allows the spent gas to exit the vehicle more efficiently by changing the pipes used in the system and installing an inter-cooler between the engine and the exhaust.With a free flow exhaust system, a smoother removal of spent gas is offered. Because of this, vehicle owners notice an improvement in the overall way their vehicle runs.These systems promote better gas mileage and increased acceleration as well.
