Turbocharge your way to efficiency.....and power!
I was shown this today...and was impressed, so I wanted to share.
I always wished GM had produced a Direct Injected NA version of the 2.0L Ecotec so that we could compare it's numbers to that of the Turbo version....but they don't. This is exactly what I've been looking for, though (minus the engine type, so here you have it (an Australian publication): http://autospeed.com/cms/A_109931/article.html Quote:

OEMs wouldn't put anything under the hood and warantee itfor 100,000 miles if they didn't work well. Fwiw, I'm a big fan of those remote-mounted guys, though. yes I do. Touche. but besides all that...I like the Eaton blowers, too. Is that what you wanted to hear? |

and thats another thing with OEM turbos. they are small. which allows them to be used for that amount of miles and not run into problems. just like motorcycle motors compared to a v-8. ever wonder why they can spin up to 14,000 rpms? cus they are smaller and have a lot less rotating mass. same applies to turbos, but i am aware that you know that. just puttin it out there Quote:
btw... have i told you about the new power setup for Project Darkseid?

I was interested
but after reading this important information from a Cobalt Forum I am not to sure about the use of turbos or Superchargers!
Just when you thought you had seen / heard it all. This has got to be a joke, he cannot be serious! http://cobaltss.net/forums/showthread.php?t=118899 "So we all know that the supercharged engines need the intake bypass valve so they work in reverse. Otherwise the supercharger would just suck all the air out of the cylinder. So knowing that, how does the turbocharged version work in reverse? The engine is trying to suck air backwards, yet the turbo wants to spin forward so I don't see how it works. Is there some sort of exhausting intake bypass valve on the turbo version? Also, if it does have the valve, does that also mean that it can make boost in reverse? Like how much boost? Like 5 psi or does it go over 20? Can anyone help me sort this out?" BUT! Just ito be sure I'm going outside and have wife watch my engine as I back out of the driveway and see just exactly what the engine does with turbos when going in reverse! I'll post if anything monumental happens. No really, he might be on to something, we've never seen what happens with the engine with a closed hood, maybe its like what goes on behind closed doors. .

No you won't, its a direct injection engine...look at the 335i engine specs...you'll be suprised how high it can be with direct injection

After reading it I think that a small turbo is kind of like a low stall torque converter, it makes a lot of sense for a daily driver which is after all what they are building. Sure they will choke before they hit the readline, but there is very little lag and peak torque is avaible from 2k to 5k (or so) and I'll make that trade for my daily driver. |
