Additional Features
1.74 L/rev supercharger
Integrated dual coolant to air intercooler
Variable Valve Timing (VVT) allows linear delivery of torque, with near-peak levels over a broad rpm range, and high specific output (horsepower per liter of displacement) without sacrificing overall engine response, or drivability.
Electronic throttle control
Dual-pressure control and variable displacement oil pump
Extended-life spark plugs have an iridium electrode tip and an iridium core in the conductor. Its “self-cleaning” properties are improved, decreasing potential for plug fouling and further reducing the likelihood of maintenance over the 100,000-mile plug life. The electrode design improves combustion efficiency for maximum fuel economy and minimum emissions.
The 58X crankshaft ring and sensor provide more immediate, accurate information on the crankshaft’s position during rotation. This allows the ECM to adjust ignition timing with greater precision, which optimizes performance and economy. Engine starting is also more consistent in all operating conditions.
