I hope everyone had a good weekend. I have to say when I was doing research on this 2.7L inline 4 turbo charged engine from GM I was a little shocked with the amount of technology shoved inside it! Made for a longer video but hopefully you guys like it

so for starters this engine is making a tremendous amount of torque at 430 which to me is wild out of a 4 cylinder turbo charged engine.

the first thing I really liked about this gmc sierra 1500 2.7L turbo is how large the stroke of the engine is. the stroke is just over 4 inches which is larger then the 6.6L Duramax diesel. and having a long stroke really helps to create torque and create torque low in the rpm bands. perfect for towing and pulling heavy loads.

the second thing I like is that GM mounted this engine longitudinally meaning that the turbo piping is very simple. exhaust of passenger side and intake of driver side.

the third thing I like about this is the drivability, this engine does drive very well and the power delivery and throttle response are very good. GM did a good job really setting this engine up elimination almost all turbo lag.
