Torotrak to present extreme engine downsizing solution at Dresden supercharging conference

V-Charge system with mechanical variable drive outperforms conventional boosting methods on downsized gasoline engine08 September 2016...At the 21st Supercharging Conference in Dresden on 15/16 September, Torotrak Group will present results from engine testing that verify previous claims for V-Charge, a variable drive mechanical supercharger. In comparison with the incumbent fixed ratio positive displacement supercharger on a 1.0L GTDI engine, V-Charge achieved improved BSFC (brake specific fuel consumption), better transient performance and a maximum BMEP (brake mean effective pressure) of
