1 Answers
Audi DLZ engine is the EA839. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. EA839 engine: The EA839 engine adopts the currently most popular Hot-V design. Hot-V means that the two turbochargers are installed in the middle of the V-shaped cylinder angle instead of the outside. The Hot-V design can directly place the three-way catalytic converter in the middle of the V-shaped cylinders, tightly coupled and adjacent to the two turbochargers. 2. Benefits: This design makes the engine very compact while achieving better intake cooling effects, improving the efficiency and response of the turbochargers. The earliest Hot-V design was commonly seen in V8 engines, with BMW and Mercedes' V8 twin-turbo engines using this design. Audi was the first to apply this design to a V6 engine, making it a technical masterpiece in the V6 category after BMW and Mercedes opted for inline-6 engines.
