Diesel engines are typically well suited to turbocharging due to two factors: A "lean" air–fuel ratio, caused when the turbocharger supplies excess air into the engine, is not a problem for diesel engines, because the torque control is dependent on the mass of fuel that is injected into the combustion chamber (i.e. air-fuel ratio), rather than the quantity of the air-fuel mixture.
2007: The Wes Anderson-driven Banks "Sidewinder" S-10 with a 1250-hp, 6.6 litre Banks Power/Duramax engine becomes the "World's Quickest and Fastest Diesel Drag Truck" with a 7.72 second elapsed time and a top speed of 179+ mph in the quarter-mile, as recorded by the National Hot Rod Diesel Association.
1952 Shell Oil film showing the development of the diesel engine from 1877. The diesel engine, named after the German engineer Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of diesel fuel is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression; thus, the diesel engine is called a compression-ignition engine (CI engine).
An automobile repair shop (also known regionally as a garage or a workshop) is an establishment where automobiles are repaired by auto mechanics and technicians. The customer interface is typically a service advisor, traditionally called a service writer. Automobile repair shop near Nako, H.P. India. 2010
A KKK 14 turbocharger was used, with an intercooler for the facelifted 'Nuova 33' of 1990. [4] Although out of production, this was the biggest three-cylinder engine ever made for a car. Applications: 1986—1989 Alfa Romeo 33 Series II 73 PS (54 kW) at 4,200 rpm and 178 N⋅m (131 lb⋅ft) at 2,400 rpm [5]
A medium-sized six-cylinder marine diesel-engine, with turbocharger and exhaust in the foreground. Turbochargers have been used in the following applications: Petrol-powered car engines; Diesel-powered car and van engines; Motorcycle engines (quite rarely) Diesel-powered truck engines, beginning with a Saurer truck in 1938 [54] Bus and coach ...
TDI is the combination of two existing diesel engine technologies: Direct injection — where a fuel injector sprays the diesel fuel directly into the main combustion chambers . This causes a more complete combustion process than using a pre-combustion chamber (known as indirect injection ), which therefore increases the torque output and ...
The Duramax I4 engine is a family of turbocharged diesel I4 engines sold by General Motors in 2.5 and 2.8 liter sizes as an option for the Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Chevrolet Express, and GMC Savana in southeast Asia and Oceania (Australia / New Zealand) from 2012, and in North America from 2016 through 2022.
