>GM uses these engines for their toque and good emissions.
The torque output from the Malibu's 3.1 litre and the N/A variant of the 3.8 have never been great. But it's enough to make point to point transporation workable. But their overall power output and fuel consumption are less than ideal. A twin-cam 3.0 litre utilizing a multi-valve head and a basic variable valve timing system could've yielded the same or better power output as the N/A 3.8 and been smoother to boot, not to mention, it probably would've gotten better fuel economy. The Opel/Saab sourced 3.0 litre in the Saturn L300 is actually their best V6, IMO. >The Pilot and MDX have the same engine, >so do the 3.2 Accord and T/CL No, the North American version of the Accord runs a 3.0 litre with 240Hp. The Acura TL gets a 3.2 litre version with 270Hp, both engines have VTEC. The European/Asian Accord, sold as the TSX in North America has a 2.4 litre, i-VTEC equipped I-4 with 200Hp. > the Por. is a H-6 which was explained to me >as being different because of the two extra cylinders Porsche uses a "flat" or "boxer" six, but it has the same number of cyllinders as any other 6-cylinder engine. Wanna guess how many? |
