This re-engineered for 2007 Duramax 6.6L V-8 clean diesel is rated at 365 hp and 660 lb-ft of torque.
Several engineering enhancements were made to the Duramax diesel to meet 2007 clean diesel specifications. A variable geometry turbocharger provides continuous boost, from initial spool-up to its 120,000 rpm ceiling, with virtually no turbo lag. Consistent boost means more efficient combustion and lower emissions. Fuel delivery is metered through a redesigned high pressure (26,000 psi) common rail system featuring high precision 7-hole fuel injectors for thorough fuel atomization while a larger exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler reduces NOx gases prior to the exhaust oxidation catalyst.
