In 1969, the smaller T 211 turbo-transmission was developed as an alternative to hydro-mechanical bus transmissions, being designed for diesel railcars in the low power range of 200 to 300 hp (149 to 224 kW). Similar to the first turbo-transmission, the T 211 used a linked converter-coupling combination but it also had a high-speed gear for ...
It was designed with extreme power handling capabilities at the time. The 4T80-E debuted in the Cadillac Allanté in 1993 along with the Northstar Double Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) V8. It reportedly cost 80% more than a similar GM 4T60 transmission and weighed 60 lb (27 kg) more. [5] This transaxle has been used in many of GM's front drive large ...
In an internal combustion engine, a turbocharger (also known as a turbo or a turbosupercharger) is a forced induction device that is powered by the flow of exhaust gases. It uses this energy to compress the intake air, forcing more air into the engine in order to produce more power for a given displacement. [1] [2]
A 3-port solenoid-type boost controller A 4-port solenoid-type boost controller (used for a dual-port wastegate). The purpose of a boost controller is to reduce the boost pressure seen by the wastegate's reference port, in order to trick the wastegate into allowing higher boost pressures than it was designed for.
The VG30DET is a 3.0 L (2,960 cc), 24-valve, DOHC, VTC-equipped engine equipped with a T3 (Nissan N1 Type) 4-bolt Garrett Turbo running between 7.5 and 11.5 psi (0.52 and 0.79 bar). Generating up to 255 PS (188 kW; 252 hp) and measuring 236 lb⋅ft (320 N⋅m) depending on the production year and application.
The GT-304 also was fitted to the first Turbo-Titan, a heavy-duty Chevrolet Model 10413 truck-tractor with tandem rear axles; Turbo-Titan was tested with various loads, demonstrating superior acceleration and gradeability compared to the Loadmaster V-8 engine that was removed, a 322 cu in (5.3 L) overhead valve V-8 with 195 hp (145 kW) output.

The EFI system saw the introduction of knock control. It is turbocharged by a Toyota CT20 Turbo (the same unit as used in the 2L-T diesel) to generate 160 hp (119 kW; 162 PS) at 6,000 rpm and 206 N⋅m (152 lb⋅ft) at 4,800 rpm. This was the first turbocharged twin-cam engine built in Japan.
Garrett Motion Inc., formerly Honeywell Transportation Systems and Honeywell Turbo Technologies, is an American company primarily involved in engineering, development and manufacturing of turbochargers and related forced induction systems for ground vehicles from small passenger cars to large trucks and industrial equipment and construction machinery.
