Its performance is excep: tional, putting out 26 kW/I and 63 Nm/I naturally aspirated and 31 kW/I ond 94 Nm/I turbocharged. 15% More Power These output figures mean that the DJ5 engines achieve 15% more power and torque than the previou: generation of 2.5-litre diesels. But improving power and torque was only one of the objectives set before the DJp's designers. Reliability and clean emis- sions were two critically important goals for all of the research and develop- ment put into this new generation of engines. Consistent Performance Over Time And so was the stability of engine performance over time, thanks to the adoption of hydraulic valve clearance ‘Tonaut Dis (ISO 1585) self-adjustment, which guar- antees permanent contact between cams and valves, requiring no outside inter- vention. g 3 OS ‘The engine timing system, too, is innovative, using a two-part ptlley that allows for easy, optimum adjust- ment. 17 MAY'S 1995 4 TIT AN ENGINE THAT IS COMPAC The DJ engine hos @ cast iron cylinder block made of two sections Seated in a groove that is machined into the block's mating surface, a silicone bead provides perfect sealing, Integral Passages Even though this thin-walled cylinder block is exception- ally compact, expert foundry techniques permitted the creation of wafer-thin water passages between the cylin- ders, greatly improving engine cooling Also integrated into the DIS cylinder block are pressure equalizing pas pump by-pass, snd posi tive crankease ventilation pass ges, water The resulting reduction in that has more than proven its outside hoses greatly reduces benefits to engine perfor the risk of feaks, mance and its ability to The lower section of the improve emissions since block, cust by lost foam PSA introduced it on the process, houses the erank- XUDIIA diesel, shaft end caps and reinforces.
