Duramax Turbo: The Worthiest GM Engine
It is easy to excuse some GM pickup truck enthusiasts when they consider the Duramax Turbo the only engine worthy of fitting into their new truck. General Motors, through its divisions GMC and Chevrolet, has recently offered a wide variety of powertrains for their heavier duty pickup trucks. Some of the gasoline powered engines included a V6 of 4.3L displacement and another of 4.8L displacement. In the higher performance category, the company offers a 310 horsepower 5.3L V8 which is designed for high output and an even larger 6.0L V8. Of course, for true power you could go with the big block 8.1L gasoline 8 cylinder, or for maximum torque and outstanding long term dependability and engine life, the choice of all savvy pickup truck owners is of course, the Duramax Turbo Diesel V8.
Common Rail System In The Duramax Diesel Turbo
The common rail system is a diesel control over fuel in the Duramax Diesel Turbo which takes an electronic approach where its predecessors were mechanically based. The Bosch direct injection fuel system featured on the Duramax Turbo is able to decouple the generation of pressure from engine speed so that it is fully independent and allows the Duramax Diesel Turbo engine to respond to the driver's requirements with ease.
Bosch & GM's Duramax Turbo Diesel
The General Motors and Bosch engineers can program the direct injection Bosch fuel system in the Duramax Turbo Diesel to optimize performance at every point in the power band and the speed range of the engine. This precision tune-ability and programming allows for greater comfort in driving no matter what the conditions, weather or traction, and to reach far more efficient levels of fuel economy in the Duramax Turbo Diesel than in previous GM engines.
6.6 Duramax Turbo Has Optimal Combustion
The specific strategy which the Bosch technology employs in order to deliver the 6.6 Duramax Turbo system's fuel air charge in through to the injectors in unique in the Duramax Turbo. The diesel fuel is pulled from the tank in the Duramax Turbo by a very specific pump operating at low pressure. This pump functions through the Duramax Turbo electronic driver unit. The movement of the fuel actually has the effect of cooling the electronic modules in the Duramax Turbo. The electronics modules do keep up because they have to actuate the various valves in each injector, ensuring that the 6.6 Duramax Turbo is always in optimal combustion.
Duramax Turbos Managed 30 Times Per Second
These Duramax Turbos' solenoid valves are actuated in some cases almost 30 times per second. The electronic driver unit works in conjunction with the Duramax Turbo engine control module. This collaboration between electronic mechanisms allows a direct and precise electronic signal to be delivered for every event of the combustion inside each Duramax Turbo cylinder. It is this advanced technology and millisecond control over fuel flow which provides the Duramax Turbos with their renowned responsiveness.
Duramax Turbo Back Exhaust Systems
The aftermarket industry supplies a considerable variety of different stainless steel 409 Duramax Turbo Back exhaust systems for every year and model of the 6.6 Duramax Turbo including the LB7, LLY, LBZ & LMM. These Duramax Turbo replacement exhausts replace the GM's flattened downpipe & exhaust with a 3 1/2 inch downpipe bent into a mandrel, and terminating in stainless steel tubing directing exhaust into a free flowing custom designed Duramax Turbo muffler. The benefit of this Duramax Turbo Back exhaust system on a Duramax Turbo is to increase MPG as well as horsepower and torque by lowering the Duramax Turbo EGT (exhaust gas temperatures). |
