To compensate for the uneven (35/65) weight distribution caused by the rear-mounted engine, DeLorean used rear wheels with a diameter slightly greater than the front wheels. Before that was the rear-engined Škoda's from Škoda 1000MB (produced from 1964) to Škoda 130/135/136 (produced until 1990) or the Polski Fiat 126p (produced until ...
The transmission and final drive for the front axle are combined into one housing alongside the engine, and a single drive shaft runs the length of the car to the rear axle. This is a favoured design where the torque is biased to the front wheels to give car-like handling, or where the maker wishes to produce both four-wheel drive and front ...
An epicyclic differential uses epicyclic gearing to send certain proportions of torque to the front axle and the rear axle in an all-wheel drive vehicle. [ citation needed ] An advantage of the epicyclic design is its relatively compact width (when viewed along the axis of its input shaft).
The G16E-GTS is a turbocharged engine model with 10.5:1 compression ratio and D-4ST direct/port injection system with multi-oil jet piston cooling, large-diameter exhaust valves and a part-machined intake port.
RMR layout; the engine is located in front of the rear axle. Rear Mid-engine transversely-mounted / Rear-wheel drive. In automotive design, an RMR, or rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout is one in which the rear wheels are driven by an engine placed with its center of gravity in front of the rear axle, and thus right behind the passenger compartment.
The front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout (abbreviated as FR layout) is one where the engine is located at the front of the vehicle and driven wheels are located at the rear. [3] This was the traditional automobile layout for most of the 20th century, and remains the most common layout for rear-wheel drive vehicles. [4]
While the 9.5-inch rear end exhibits its own durability, it is generally considered less favorable for high-torque applications. The 9.5-inch C-clip rear differential was featured in both the Suburban and pickups, available in 6- or 8-lug variations, employing 33-spline axles. This differential remained in production through 2009 and even found ...
Cylinder spacing is 84 mm (3.31 in), as for the four-cylinder G13/G15/G16 engines. Both the G10 and G10T engines came with forged iron connecting rods. [1] [2] Early G10 engines (1988 and older) used a hemispherical head design with rocker arms and mechanical lifters. Valve sizes were 36 millimeter for the intake and 30 millimeter exhaust. [1]
