A special aspect of the supercharger used here is its internal gearing, which enables a high compressor power
boost at low engine speeds.
In a supercharger application, the NuVinci - equipped CVAD provides a power management system for engine accessories that can deliver significantly more
boost at low engine speeds by enabling high supercharger speeds, providing increased torque for launch and towing.

But
at higher
engine speeds, the smaller turbo sits out and the
low - pressure turbo provides
boost to deliver more power.
Under the hood, the SpecV has what Nissan calls a «High Gear
Boost Control Device,» which momentarily increases turbo boost for «greater torque in the intermediate - to - high speed range to provide a more powerful feeling of acceleration, while allowing the engine to operate at a lower speed for improved fuel economy.&r

The system also allows the installation of an innovative electric supercharger for the CRDi
engine, in addition to the conventional turbocharger, which helps to
boost torque and
engine response
at low engine speeds.
At high engine speeds, i - VTEC allows the engine to be tuned more for power, while at lower speeds, VTC retards valve timing to boost fuel econom
At high

boost fuel economy.
At higher
speeds, when more feedback is desired, the system automatically reduces
boost to improve steering feel while simultaneously
lowering parasitic drag on the
engine.
The mechanically belt - driven supercharger
boosts the TSI's torque
at low engine speeds.
Higher final - drive gearing keeps
engine revs
lower at highway
speeds,
boosting mpg.
The electric supercharger in particular helps to
boost torque and
engine response
at low engine speeds.
But, this potent internal combustion
engine also benefits from a regenerative - powered electric motor driving the rear wheels either automatically when required during cornering and in strong acceleration — giving a power
boost of as much as 45 ps — or in a button - activated creep - mode
at low speeds to avoid emissions in city traffic or when «stealth» is required.
Meanwhile, the range - topping SD4 diesel has two turbochargers and uses a «series - sequential
boosting» system, with the smaller turbo helping
at low revs, and the larger second turbo joining in
at higher
engine speeds to produce a hefty 237bhp and 500Nm.
This 114 PS
engine is combined with a 14 PS electric motor which also
boosts torque, with an impressive 78 Nm
at low to medium
engine speeds.
For example, if the driver is cruising
at a steady
speed but needs to accelerate to overtake, the turbocharger reacts instantly to
boost acceleration as the
engine shifts seamlessly to a
lower compression ratio.
Unlike the supercharger that supplies instant
boost down
low, the turbocharger works best
at higher
engine speeds and takes a few milliseconds to make
boost.
Performance is enhanced with a new high gear
boost control device, which momentarily increases
boost of the
engine's twin turbochargers for greater torque in the intermediate - to - high
speed ranges to provide a more powerful feeling of acceleration, while also allowing the
engine to operate
at a
lower speed for improved fuel economy.
Being of a smaller displacement of only 2.0 litres, there was a noticable big pick - up in power in the first gear when the
engine is still running off -
boost, but right after 1,800 rpm
boost kicks in with strong force — you wouldn't want to be caught doing a maneuver like a U-turn
at low speeds when that happens because the back would surely swing.
A new Hydra - Matic six -
speed automatic transmission has high final - drive gearing that maintains
lower engine revs
at highway
speeds,
boosting mpg.
For the
Speed, tweaks to the Spur's W12
engine have
boosted power by 9 % from 552to 600bhp and torque by 15 % from 479 lb ft to 553 lb ft, which kicks in
at a
low 1750rpm.
Nissan Motor Co. says it has developed a new turbocharging system that provides improved torque and
engine response
at low speeds in city driving.Nissan says the new system will give a 2.5 - liter
engine the same fuel efficiency as a 2.0 - liter
engine and the same
low -
speed torque as a naturally aspirated 3.5 - liter
engine.The new system will be introduced in new models for the Japanese market later this year.The system is based on what Nissan calls a «linear charge concept,» which allows
boost pressure to rise gradually with acceleration, increasing on a linear level from
low to high
speeds.
Combined — or compounded — the two turbos work to quickly spool
at lower engine revs but deliver big
boost pressures
at higher
engine speeds.
