hmm... turbo looks pretty different with the small details. i see a turbo speed sensor and what looks like a temp sensor in the compressor housing [in pic 100_1239]... the exhaust manifold looks a little different too... i hope i get to go to the toronto auto show this year and i hope that engine display piece will be there...

Excellent stuff Bighammer. Man, these companies sure put a lot of effort into these shows. The Cobra looks pretty hot for a Ford!

Please tell me that blue one is NOT the new cab and chassis.

Oops, I was looking at the misc. pictures in your photo gallery. Still, I hope that isn't the cab and chassis.

Cool pictures. I always find it interesting how they cut it open like that. How do they do that anyway?

Cut away views

Depending on where it is and what components are in the view they can disassemble the motor and cut the parts seperately or either use traditional machining and mill the metal away or use wire EDM (electrical discharge machining).



Think of one of those wire cheese cutters cutting cheese and that's pretty much how wire EDM is performed. The part is either flood with water or submerged in a tank of water. The wire is feed from a spool in the machine across two guides and electricity is passed between the wire and the part you are cutting into. The wire moves at a rate that it doesn't get too hot and melt, but the electricty passing between the part and the wire burns the metal away.

It looks like there is some serious money inversted in that cut-away engine.

price of the engine, machine work, finish work, building stand. and most cut away engines still turn over [unless they have pieces of their geartrain missing/cut] at school we had a cut away of a 353 or 371 2 cycle DDC green grenade that turned over by hand [had a hand crank where the starter was to go] pretty neat. i want one of those for myself in the den... conversation piece eh... :-laf

AWESOME pics! Thanks for taking the time to frame the shots nicely and for putting them online for all to see.



Sensors on the turbo?! Yet another reason I won't be getting a "600"... .

I added a few more pictures of the Sprinter this morning.

Thanks Torque King Jay. I remember in A school, they had some engine cut-aways like that and it was a really great tool to help students learn how the machines work.

Where the usually "boost elbow" goes, it looks like a sensor that picks up boost, and vacuum before the turbo.



Edge,, Have fun with that one.
