2.0 - liter BMW TwinPower Turbo Diesel dual overhead (DOHC) inline 4 - cylinder, 16 - valve 180 - hp engine
with aluminum engine block, Variable - Geometry Turbo technology and latest - generation common - rail direct injection
Their opposition included five GT Ferraris, four fast and happy - sounding E Jaguars with
light aluminum engine blocks and coachwork and seven normal Corvettes.
Aluminum engine blocks now require cast - iron cylinder liners, for sufficient wear resistance, but C4 liners will wear better, yet transfer heat far better than a ceramic liner», says Breslin.
To raise the bar even further, the new Ultimate Aero receives a one -
piece aluminum engine block cranking out 1287 horsepower to replace the «puny» old 1183 horsepower unit.
The
new aluminum engine block has been constructed as a «square» engine, with equal cylinder bore and stroke dimensions (86.0 x 86.0 mm).
It has a slightly heavier (less light)
full aluminum engine block, as opposed to the normally aspirated magnesium blocks (with alu cilinders).
It features a deep - skirted
V10 aluminum engine block, cylinder heads equipped with Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC)- shaped combustion chambers, large valves and Variable Valve Timing (VVT).
V8 spark - ignition engine
with aluminum engine block and gasoline direct injection, DOHC, exhaust turbocharger, two charge movement flaps, demand - controlled high - pressure and low - pressure fuel system, cylinder on demand, indirect intercooler
Its aluminum engine block starts life in Kokomo, Indiana, before going to Maranello to be strapped with a pair of Ferrari - designed heads.
The aluminum engine block is more rigid, and inside are strengthened piston heads.
Its aluminum engine block and cylinder head design keep weight low.
3.0 - liter dual overhead cam (DOHC), 24 - valve inline 230 - horsepower 6 - cylinder engine with composite magnesium /
aluminum engine block, Valvetronic, and Double - VANOS steplessly variable valve timing
2.0 L DOHC 16 - Valve 4 - Cylinder Turbocharged - inc:
aluminum engine block, high precision direct injection, Valvetronic, Double - VANOS steplessly variable valve timing and electronic throttle control
This engine also sports
an aluminum engine block, direct fuel injection, and comes with either a standard six - speed manual transmission, or an optional six - speed automatic with Shiftronic control.
This engine was fitted with almost the same 219.5 mm high
aluminum engine block with FRM coated cylinder walls.
To reduce friction,
the aluminum engine block has been honed and very lightweight 0W - 20 oil fills the crankcase.
Compared to its predecessor,
the aluminum engine block is more compact, has a higher power - to - weight ratio, operates with less internal friction and creates less noise and vibration.
The aluminum engine block and its internal components create a lightweight package with extremely low friction qualities.
Lastly, as we've reported, Ford premiered its redesigned Edge and an updated GT500 Mustang with
an aluminum engine block.
This was also the first time Toyota fitted a Corolla with
an aluminum engine block, which had the effect of significantly reducing weight for better efficiency and acceleration.
We speculate that the all -
aluminum engine block and generous cooling system are more than capable of exchanging whatever heat is generated under the hood, even in the hottest of climates.
The aluminum engine block also has deep skirts with four - bolt main caps.
