AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
July 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner, a global leader in clean and efficient
technology solutions for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles,
delivers its proven wastegate turbocharger for Honda's new
three-cylinder 1.0-liter gasoline direct-injected engine, initially
available for the Civic in Asia
and Europe. BorgWarner's compact
turbocharger improves engine efficiency and boosts performance,
helping achieve an outstanding power output of 95 kW (127 HP) with
quick engine response.
"Designed for powerful, downsized engines, BorgWarner's
wastegate turbocharger combines high power density and excellent
response in an extremely compact package," said Frédéric Lissalde,
President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems.
"BorgWarner's first global development with Honda reflects our
strong reputation as a leading supplier of advanced turbocharging
technologies and supports our growth in Asia and around the world."
BorgWarner's reliable B01 turbocharger features a compact,
robust design with low noise, vibration and harshness and
facilitates the use of low viscosity oil. Its advanced materials
withstand exhaust temperatures up to 950 degrees Celsius and
rotational speeds of up to 285,000 rpm. Fitted with an electrically
actuated wastegate for highly accurate control to prevent charge
pressure at high engine power, BorgWarner's turbocharger delivers
powerful and efficient performance. In addition, it improves fuel
economy while providing excellent torque characteristics over the
entire engine speed range. The low-inertia turbine wheel allows a
wider performance range while optimized harnessing of exhaust gas
pulsation offers fast response at low engine speeds. In addition,
the rapid activation of the catalytic converter during cold starts
significantly reduces emissions.
