Description
The gasoline direct injection version of the 6G74 was launched in April 1997 and was the first GDI V6 engine produced. In addition to its unique fuel injection system, it differed from the base 6G74 in many ways – it had a crowned piston head instead of a flat one, an upright air intake instead of a sloping intake, and a 10.4:1 ratio instead of 10.0 :1 compression ratio. Offers 30% better fuel economy, 30% lower emissions and higher power output than diesel engines.
