Performance Car by Auto Express. [159] In Australia, the 86 was awarded the following titles in 2012: Car of the Year award by Wheels magazine, [160] Carsguide, [161] and Drive [162] (shared with Subaru BRZ); Best Performance Car under A$60,000 and People's Choice again by Drive; [162]
Still in business as a subsidiary of Vortech, Paxton now supplies complete supercharging kits for popular performance-modified cars, as well as bare superchargers for more customised installations. One of the more unusual applications for the Paxton brand superchargers was as an air pump in the air purifying CO 2 scrubbers of U.S. Navy submarines.
It is used in the Subaru BRZ, and is identified by a Toyota engine family code known as the 4U-GSE, which is installed in the Toyota 86 and the Scion FR-S. [5] According to Subaru, 0W-20 oil is recommended. Wards Auto put the FA20D on their "10 Best Engines" list for 2013. [6] Compression Ratio: 12.5:1; Application: 2012–2016 Subaru BRZ ...
A pressure wave supercharger (also known as a wave rotor [1]) is a type of supercharger technology that harnesses the pressure waves produced by an internal combustion engine exhaust gas pulses to compress the intake air. Its automotive use is not widespread; the most widely used example is the Comprex, developed by Brown Boveri. [2] [3] [4]
An Eaton M62 Roots-type supercharger is visible at the front of this Ecotec LSJ engine in a 2006 Saturn Ion Red Line.. The Roots-type blower is simple and widely used. It can be more effective than alternative superchargers at developing positive intake manifold pressure (i.e., above atmospheric pressure) at low engine speeds, making it a popular choice for passenger automobile applications.
The centrifugal supercharger draws its power from the movement of the drive where it is attached. At this point, the supercharger powers an impeller – or small rotating wheel. The impeller draws air into a small compressor housing (volute) and centrifugal force sends the air into the diffuser.
STi president Ryuichiro Kuze partnered with British firm Prodrive in 1989 to develop a rally car using the Subaru Legacy chassis. [6] The resulting performance model was the Legacy RS, which produced 220 PS (160 kW; 220 hp) mated to a five speed gearbox and weighing just over 2,600 pounds; [citation needed] it was manufactured by Subaru to homologate the type for FIA Group A racing.
