The L0 Series (Japanese: L （ エル ） 0 （ ゼロ ） 系 （ けい ）, Hepburn: Eru-zero-kei, "L zero series") [3] is a high-speed maglev train which the Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) has been developing and testing.
As vehicles get older, maintaining them to the required standards can become expensive. Most Japanese do not get involved in mechanical repairs, and as a result, mechanics can charge high prices. [citation needed] Vehicles that cannot pass inspection are not permitted on public roads. Unwanted vehicles must be exported or destroyed and recycled.
Engine power is the power that an engine can put out. It can be expressed in power units, most commonly kilowatt, pferdestärke (metric horsepower), or horsepower.In terms of internal combustion engines, the engine power usually describes the rated power, which is a power output that the engine can maintain over a long period of time according to a certain testing method, for example ISO 1585.
In 1988, JDM cars were limited by voluntary self-restraints among manufacturers to 280 PS (276 hp; 206 kW) and a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph), limits imposed by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association for safety. The horsepower limit was lifted in 2004 [citation needed] but the speed limit of 180 km/h (112 mph) remains.
Construction of the Yamanashi maglev test line began in 1990. The 18.4 km (11.4 mi) "priority section" of the line in Tsuru, Yamanashi , opened in 1997. MLX01 trains were tested there from 1997 to fall 2011, when the facility was closed to extend the line to 42.8 km (26.6 mi) and to upgrade it to commercial specifications.
As in 1981 both turbo and naturally aspirated engines were offered, but non-turbo cars now used the uprated L20E for the Japanese market or the L28E for the export market, which on the 2.8 L version, due to increased compression, were rated at 145 hp (108 kW) rather than the earlier engine's 135 hp (101 kW). The naturally aspirated 1982 Datsun ...
It produces 316 hp (320 PS) and 318 lb-ft of torque (235 kW). This gave the S206 a noticeable 11 hp and 28 lb-ft of torque upgrade in power. Since the STI S206 is a Japanese Variant, it features a twin-scroll ball-bearing turbo, a newly revamped ECU, and upgraded exhaust system with that is more free flowing compared to the standard STI.
