The film flopped at the box office — it was released soon after 9/11 and America didn't seem to be in the mood for a movie in which a jetliner's loose turbine engine crushes a suburban house.

While previous engines used a so - called single sequential turbocharger, which utilized two turbines on a single shaft, the new turbocharger — a Garrett GT37 — is a conventional, single - compressor turbo.

A turbocharger creates boost (pressure) through the spinning of a small turbine (pushed by exhaust gases) that shares a shaft with a similar - looking compressor, which delivers the extra air to the engine.

The engine's compression ratio is a whopping 16 - to - 1 and the two variable - turbine - geometry turbos, which sit on the outside of the V, generate up to 2.6 bar of boost.

A double turbine torsional damper with centrifugal pendulum which adapts to engine speed helps to minimise vibrations in four - cylinder operation and enhances the impression of comfort experienced by the vehicle occupants.

This lets the engine efficiently use exhaust scavenging techniques, which decreases exhaust gas temperatures and NOx emissions, improves turbine efficiency, and reduces turbo lag evident at low engine speeds.

In addition, the V6 engine features a new turbine speed sensor, which allows for the twin - turbo system to perform at up to 220,000 rpm — at steady condition and 240,000 rpm at transient condition — higher than ever before for a V6 power unit.

Other vehicles were released between the Model 6 and the 1950s, but one of the most influential innovations from Chrysler came with their the commissioning of a gas turbine engine program, which helped the company develop cars that ran as smoothly and powerfully as a jet engine.

However, unlike other twin - scroll turbos, the 2.7 L engine's snail also includes dual - volute technology, which keeps both exhaust pulses separate until they reach the turbine at two locations opposite one another.

More notable is the engine's torque curve, which has been bolstered and broadened by the variable turbine geometry system.

The unit has variable turbine geometry (VTG) biturbo charging with a central turbo layout, but is equipped with sequential turbocharging, which allows the engine to work as a biturbo or monoturbo, depending on the operating state.

21,567 Chevrolet Sonic 2012 model year compacts equipped with a six - speed automatic transmission and a 1.8 - liter four - cylinder engine for a condition in which the transmission turbine shaft may fracture as a result of a supplier quality issue.

When combined with modern - day turbocharging — which uses waste energy from the exhaust gas to drive the turbine — direct injection provides the best of both worlds: the responsiveness of a larger - displacement engine with fewer trips to the gas pump.

A bit of work went into this version of the Cadillac 3.6 - liter V6 engine, with engineers developing turbochargers with low - inertia titanium - aluminide turbines, along with vacuum - actuated wastegates, which will enable more responsive torque production.

This is an all new engine, and also uses BMW's TwinPower Turbo technology, or basically variable turbine geometry which allows the engine to put out slightly higher power (about 7 - 8 bhp more), but still reduces consumption (and emissions) by 17 % according to manufacturer data.

When complemented by the precision of the engine's valvetrain, that separation leverages exhaust scavenging techniques to optimize gas flow, which decreases exhaust gas temperatures, improves turbine efficiency and reduces turbo lag.

Talking about the natural gas engine first, it is a 1.5 - litre petrol engine which has turbochargers with variable turbine geometry.

The new engine is equipped with a turbocharger featuring variable geometry turbine vanes (VGT), which are activated electrically.
