Chevy’s 2.7L I4 engine is one of the largest gasoline four cylinders sold today in a road car. It’s packed with clever technology, like a dual volute turbocharger, advanced three position camshaft, active thermal management, integrated exhaust manifold, and jumbo cylinders. The engine can be found in the Chevy Silverado producing 310 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, and in the Cadillac CT4-V producing 325 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. Check out the video to learn all about the clever camshaft and turbocharger used!

But its true. V8s do get better economy. It takes a 4 cylinder 2x the rpm to get the car to move and to accelerate it takes more time meaning 0-60 takes longer burning more gas. Less torque means more rpm needed to move. V8 have lpts of torque it requires very little rpm to get it to move.

@@baileyhatfield4273what? Camless valve trains are much easier to service and repair, you just change the broken solenoid! And no more catastrophic engine failures because valves aren’t physically able to fall into the combustion chamber anymore. Unfortunately the forced use of electric vehicles by governments worldwide means that this amazing technology was never implemented to the mass market and will never happen again since it’s forbidden from 2030 on to bring cars with a internal combustion engine to the mass market. I won’t mention the catastrophic events this will trigger because it’s just too depressing. Just remember that free valve systems are incredibly reliable and powerful! The only negative is a higher price in the first generations, but that would vanish in a normal production cycle without political intervention..

A 4 cylinder engine in a truck? Apparently yes, it's a thing. But hey, it's got 310 horsepower and tons of torque, amirite? But the sad truth is most people driving pickup trucks aren't hauling anything other than super light stuff. And they don't go off roading (no, dirt roads don't count, and parking on the grass doesn't count either). So most people really should be driving the 4 cylinder Silverado or the 2.7L F150 but won't.

Gen 2 @ 69k miles. Gen 3 at 4,462 miles. All three engines exhibited ridiculously high oil consumption rates, revealed tremendous amounts of carbon buildup post detonation on deactivating cylinders, and were found to be fit for road use by dealer techs within days of complete failure.

If I was a GM powertrain design engineer, I would be sooooo wanting to develop an engine that's basically double this engine. 2.7x2=5.4, so GM could essentially develop a twin turbo dual valloot 5.3 Or 4.8 V8, now THAT would be an awesome engine.

Since cylinders 2 and 3 can be disabled, it is also an advantage to have a separate path to the turbo to keep the pressure up in the path from the active cylinders.

Perhaps this engine is designed for export to many markets where a special tax is assessed on engine's displacement, so the car maker must use a small but boosted engine.

Years ago Government Motors marketed the 4.3 ltr (essentially a 350 with 2 cylinders lopped off) Turbo as a truck engine, then promptly installed it in a Monte Carlo. It only lasted a couple years-as did my cousin's 4.3 Turbo Monte Carlo engine...

I own a 2020 Silverado with this engine and let me tell you im really impressed.. when I went to the dealership I test drove the v6 and v8 model as well. The 4 cylinder turbo felt smooth, more quiet, had torque right away and FEELS LIGHT FOR BEING A TRUCK.... If you would drive it around you wouldn't be able to tell it's a 4cylinder because it doesn't lack power. I'm a mechanic and honestly I didn't even want to test drive it at the dealership but I gave it a go and here I am typing this lol. I want to make a note that the 2020 IS A MUCH LIGHTER TRUCK than the previous 2019 model, a lot more aluminum was used instead of steel.

@orlandot3944 4 роки тому
@@attananightshadow they 5.3 is great, in a battle side to side towing every day the 2.7 will die before the 5.3 does BUT that's common sense.. the 2.7 was designed to be owned by those who need a truck to go to Lowe's and grab some materials to complete a house project or tow something every other day NOT TO BE USED CONSTANTLY FOR HIGH LOADS, there's a reason there's a V8 model. The 2.7 feels great in the city, very comfortable and smooth. I towed a single cab dodge the other day and it almost felt as if I wasnt towing anything. The torque is insane with this engine at low rpms. BUT THEN AGAIN this is a new engine and only time will tell if it will last and live up to its expectation.

I've owned a 2.7L turbo Silverado for about two years now and regularly get 27 to 29 mpg on the highway going ~72 mph. I also own a Porsche 968 btw - a fantastic car. EPA drive cycles can be deceiving in their results and do not take advantage of engine strengths.

Right, and only makes slightly more power, and I'm assuming that's only because the caddy runs on premium while the chevy runs on regular, that explains the smaller difference in power. So they took a truck engine, tuned it for premium and called it a day basically.

That's up to the moron owner. You know... the idiots that think that buying the "full-synthetic" engine oil means that they can go for 10k+ miles between oil changes... yet completely ignore the fact that most oil filters are not designed to filter fine particles and unburned fuel that's constantly contaminating engine oil. Especially in engines used for a high percentage of short-trips.
