0 a small turbine turned by the waste gases from an engine that pushes the fuel and air mixture into the engine at a higher pressure, so increasing the power produced by the engine
1 a piece of equipment that increases the pressure of air entering an engine to create more power:
That amounts to a total of 500,000 turbochargers in 2002.
The diesels now featured common rail direct fuel injection and variable geometry turbochargers.
The recirculated exhaust gasses and the compressed air from the turbochargers have separate coolers and then the air merges together before entering the intake manifold.
Thermal barrier ceramic-coatings are specifically designed to reduce heat loss from engine exhaust system components including exhaust manifolds, turbocharger casings, exhaust headers, downpipes and tailpipes.
At higher power levels, the overrunning clutch is disengaged, and the turbo-compressor operates as a true turbocharger.
The chargers are a single supercharger that disengages after a specified rev-range, at which point charging of the air is handled by a single turbocharger.
These include: larger pistons, turbochargers, dual racing carburetors, fuel injection, and high performance cylinder heads.
An optional turbocharger, mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission and optional 4-wheel drive are also available.
