The capability of the engine can
be further enhanced by selecting
‘Sport’ mode on the optional Sport
Chrono Package Turbo (see page
60). Under full acceleration, the
boost is temporarily increased by
approximately 0.2 bar. During this
phase, the engine develops as
much as 60 Nm of additional
torque.
Matching the superlative
performance of the car is the
efficiency with which it is
generated. In spite of the increase
in power and torque, the new
911 Turbo offers a further
reduction in fuel consumption.

Engine cooling.
The 911 Turbo engine features
cross-flow water cooling with fully
integrated coolant management.
This technology ensures a
consistent flow of coolant to each
of the engine’s cylinders. All
coolant passages are integral to
the block, thus eliminating the
need for external hoses. Each
cylinder receives a fresh supply
of coolant which has not been
pre-warmed by the engine. As well
as improving reliability, this
helps to minimise maintenance
requirements. Waste heat from
the oil is transferred to the
coolant via two oil/water heat
exchangers. The coolant is routed
through twin radiator modules
ahead of the front wheels and a
centrally placed unit in the nose.
Engine management.
Optimum performance is assured
at all times with the aid of
the Motronic ME7.8.1 engine
management system. On the new
911 Turbo, this powerful ECU is
responsible for all engine-related
functions and assemblies (see
diagram). Key among these are
the Variable Turbine Geometry
(VTG), VarioCam Plus and
electronic throttle system – one
of the essential prerequisites
for the standard Porsche Stability
Management (PSM). The results:
optimum economy, emissions
and performance, regardless of
driving style.Another important task performed
by the engine management
system is cylinder-specific knock
control. By preventing pre-ignition
at high engine speeds, this
function can avert costly damage
to the pistons and cylinders. Since
temperatures tend to vary in
different parts of the engine, each
cylinder is monitored separately.
If a risk is detected, the individual
ignition timing is adjusted.
The EU-compliant on-board
diagnostics system provides
continuous fault detection and
early warning for the exhaust
and fuel supply systems. The
resulting benefits are active
prevention of harmful emissions
as well as consistent rates of
fuel consumption.

Fuel injection.
Fuel is supplied to each of the six
cylinders by means of sequential
fuel injection. The timing of each
injection and the volume supplied
to each bank of cylinders are
controlled by the Motronic ME7.8.1
engine management system.
Adjustments are based on a range
of variables, such as throttle
position, engine speed, boost
pressure, coolant temperature
and exhaust gas composition. Theresults are optimised combustion
and fuel consumption. A hot-film
air mass sensor monitors the
density of the incoming air to
ensure the optimum air/fuel
mixture, regardless of weather
and altitude.
Ignition system.
The 911 Turbo is equipped with
a static high-voltage ignition
system. Each individual plug has
a separate ignition coil, ensuring
perfect combustion every time.
The role of distributor is performed
by the engine management
system, which operates the coils
directly. The result: optimum
performance with minimal fuel
consumption.
