BorgWarner Launches Largest Passenger Car Twin Turbochargers to Power General Motors' Corvette
BorgWarner has secured an agreement to provide twin turbochargers for the General Motors Corvette ZR1, marking the largest passenger car twin turbochargers in the market. These turbochargers will power the Corvette's 5.5-liter flat plane crankshaft V8 engine, enabling it to produce 1,064 horsepower and 828 pound-feet of torque.
The turbochargers feature a 76mm forged milled compressor wheel with ported shroud and a 67mm turbine wheel inside a mono scroll turbine housing. They incorporate BorgWarner's patented decoupled ball bearing system, offering faster response time, higher durability, and noise. Additional features include a compressor-mounted blade pass speed sensor, zero-clearance heat shielding, and an electronically actuated wastegate system.
Designed and manufactured in the United States, these turbochargers are a result of BorgWarner's extensive work with the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and their ability to provide high-performance solutions.
