2.0T TSI Carbon Build Up Problems
https://www.shopdap.com/blog/vw-audi-20t-tsi-common-problems.html/

Quote:
Almost all direct injection engines have this particular issue which is something that anyone with this engine should be aware of. Carbon build up on the intake valves of your TSI can cause cold start misfires, among many other things. Take a look HERE to find out more details on TSI Carbon Build Up

Looking more like something out of the NASA laboratories and armed with a 1400 horsepower Dodge 392cui engine with turbocharger, the engine has all the power needed at 12psi boost and 8,000 rpm to push this sleek fish to ts goal.

ZF has launched the electric portal axle AVE 130 for driving buses. Two water-cooled asynchronous traction motors sit on each wheel. The maximum torque amounts to two lots of 485 newton meters when firing up from a standstill. Due to the gear ratio, there is also an output torque of 2 x 11,000 newton meters on the wheels – no other electric drive for city buses currently provides this. This enormous traction is sufficient for powering even fully loaded articulated buses using one electrically driven axle alone.

Another highlight is the new, modular mSTARS rear axle kit (modular Semi-Trailing Arm Rear Suspension). The new module with multi-link rear suspension includes an electric motor, transmission, differential and power electronics. "With mSTARS, our customers can respond extremely flexibly to various market requirements with just one body variant. These requirements could be for hybrid vehicles, vehicles driven by fuel cells or battery-powered vehicles as well as the classic all-wheel module," says Dr. Holger Klein, head of the Car Chassis Technology Division.

TRIVETTE - PICTURES

Quote:
A view of the engine compartment with the turbocharged Volkswagon engine. You can see the turbo on top and how the 4 exhaust pipe come together in one larger diameter pipe that comes up into the turbine section of the turbo. The output of the turbine, to its right, is the pipe that forms the exhaust. Because the turbo blades spin at such high RPMs, they chop up the high pressure pulses comming out of the exhaust ports. So there was no need to have a muffler on the vehicle. On the left side of it you can see the side draft carburetor comming into the compressor section of the turbocharger. Bob thinks it was a Bendix unit originally intended for aircraft and motorcycle applications. It delivered an estimated 220 Horse Power from this setup in a vehicle that weighed 1,140 lbs. The bike comming off the line was ferosious. This vehicle would run the quarter mile in 10.4 seconds at 140 MPH but actually spent the last couple hundred feet of the quarter mile just sitting there on the red limiter. It would have gone faster with different gearing but stock Volkwagon gearing was used in this vehicle. This was a VERY fast TriVette. .
220 HP?

Same with the new Chevy Z28 with the 427.
