Engine tuning is the adjustment or modification of the internal combustion engine or Engine Control Unit (ECU) to yield optimal performance and increase the engine's power output, economy, or durability. These goals may be mutually exclusive; an engine may be de-tuned with respect to output power in exchange for better economy or longer engine ...
Because a series-hybrid has no mechanical link between the ICE and the wheels, the engine can run at a constant and efficient rate regardless of vehicle speed, achieving higher efficiency (37%, rather than the ICE average of 20% [17]) and at low or mixed speeds this could result in ~50% increase in overall efficiency (19% vs 29%).
The Honda RA6xxH/RBPTH hybrid power units are a series of 1.6-litre, hybrid turbocharged V6 racing engines which feature both a kinetic energy recovery (MGU-K) electric motor directly geared to the crankshaft and a heat energy recovery (MGU-H) electric motor attached via a common shaft to the turbocharger assembly.
A Honda K24A Engine with i-VTEC. VTEC (described as Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control, but stands for Valve Timing Electronically Controlled) is a system developed by Honda to improve the volumetric efficiency of a four-stroke internal combustion engine, resulting in higher performance at high RPM, and lower fuel consumption at low RPM.
Integrated Motor Assist (commonly abbreviated as IMA) is Honda's hybrid car technology, introduced in 1999 on the Insight. It is a specific implementation of a parallel hybrid . It uses an electric motor mounted between the internal combustion engine and transmission to act as a starter motor , power generator, engine balancer, and assist ...
The Honda Passport is a line of sport utility vehicles (SUV) from the Japanese automaker Honda. Originally, it was a rebadged version of the Isuzu Rodeo, a mid-size SUV sold between 1993 and 2002. It was introduced in 1993 for the 1994 model year as Honda's first entry into the growing SUV market of the 1990s in the United States.
In 2006 Honda created the J30A5 to mark the 30th anniversary of the Accord. It boosted output to 244 hp (182 kW) (SAE Net 08/04) and 211 lb⋅ft (286 N⋅m) (SAE Net 08/04) of torque. According to Honda, horsepower gains were achieved with improvements to the airflow of the intake and exhaust system.
