Engine: Description and Operation

ENGINE

DESCRIPTION
The engine is a modular design. The engine uses a 90° V-angle rotating assembly which provides space for long intake manifold runners which provide high torque across a broad range of engine speeds for driving ease. The engine uses a split-pin crankshaft to provide even firing, and a balance shaft to compensate for the rocking motion which occurs with a 90° V-6.


OPERATION
The engine produces 215 bhp @ 5700 rpm and 230 ft. lbs. of torque @ 3000 rpm. Its 6000 rpm maximum operating speed is electronically limited by interrupting the fuel supply. The engine is tuned to provide high torque over a broad range of engine speed for optimum driveability. 90% of max torque is available from about 2300 - 5300 rpm, 98% of max torque is available from 3000 - 4500 rpm.
