Liquid-cooled gasoline, 5-cylinder, in-line engine. Aluminum alloy cylinder block with castiron cylinder liners cast directly into the block. Aluminum alloy cylinder head with double overhead camshafts and separate intake and outlet channels.
Engine lubrication is provided by an eccentric pump driven from the crankshaft. Fullflow type oil filter. Exhaust emission control is accomplished by multiport fuel injection, heated oxygen sensor(s) and threeway catalytic converter.
Turbocharged engines employ a turbocompressor to force air into the
engine inlet manifold and a charge air cooler to
cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting
increase in air flow raises pressure in the intake manifold by approx. 8.7 psi (over
atmospheric pressure) and engine power output by
approx. 50 horsepower over that developed by the normallyaspirated engine. The charge
air cooler (which resembles a radiator) is located between the turbocompressor and
inlet manifold.
