What is the gw4g15f engine?

gw4g15f is a turbocharged engine. The following are relevant details about turbocharged engines: 1. Components: The turbocharging device mainly consists of a turbine chamber and a supercharger. First, the intake port of the turbine chamber is connected to the engine's exhaust manifold, while the exhaust port is connected to the exhaust pipe. Then, the intake port of the supercharger is connected to the air filter pipe, and the exhaust port is connected to the intake manifold. Finally, the turbine and impeller are installed in the turbine chamber and supercharger respectively, and the two are connected by the same shaft; 2. Main function: It increases the engine's air intake through the turbocharger, thereby enhancing the engine's output power and torque. After installing a turbocharger, an engine's maximum power can increase by 40% or more, meaning it can generate greater power after turbocharging; 3. Advantages: It can significantly improve the engine's power and torque without increasing the engine displacement. Turbocharged engines are not only more fuel-efficient but also reduce emissions of carbon monoxide, CH hydrocarbons, and PM particulates.
My family's Haval H6 uses the GW4G15F engine, which has been quite reliable for over three years. This is a 1.5L gasoline engine developed in-house by Great Wall, featuring an all-aluminum lightweight block with variable valve timing for both intake and exhaust. In city driving, it consumes about 7L per 100km, though it feels slightly underpowered when climbing hills with AC on in summer - still perfectly adequate for daily commuting. I noticed the newer version has upgraded to direct fuel injection, reportedly with better fuel efficiency. Great Wall widely uses this engine in popular models like H6 and M6, ensuring good market availability and convenient maintenance/parts replacement.
As a working-class person who saved for three years to buy a car, I did thorough research on the GW4G15F specs when choosing a vehicle. This Great Wall-developed 1.5T turbo engine delivers a maximum power of 124kW and unleashes 285Nm of torque at just 1500 rpm, providing strong acceleration from traffic lights. What attracted me most was its low maintenance cost - a minor service only costs around 400 yuan, and it's not picky about fuel, running perfectly fine on 92-octane gasoline. However, it's slightly noisy during cold starts, but quiets down significantly after warming up for half a minute. The current China VI version comes with a particulate filter, so you need to avoid frequent short-distance driving.
