The new engine will have an increased capacity of 5 litres, and will be known as GV5.<BR> <BR> The introduction of the new engine has been brought about by an examination of the various markets and series in which the 4 litre engine is currently used. Having studied these, we believe that a lower revving, higher torque engine may be better suited to some customers, and have opted for an increase to 5 litres to provide these characteristics.<BR> <BR> Being a development of the GV4, the GV5 will share the same basic design as the 4 litre engine, but will have an increased stroke to achieve the higher capacity. This will result in a taller engine with slightly different installation requirements for gearbox mounting, airbox and exhaust systems. Otherwise the engine will remain largely similar to the existing 4 litre.<BR> <BR> The maximum power of the GV5 will be similar to the 4 litre, but we expect maximum torque to be increased by 25 – 30% though this will be achieved at lower rpm than on the GV4. With maximum revs reduced from 11000 to 9000rpm, the potential long term reliability of the engine may be improved over the 4 litre variant, though the excellent reliability record of the 4 litre will be difficult to surpass.<BR> <BR> Rebuild intervals for GV5 will initially be the same as GV4 (3000km), but it is hoped in the long term that these will be increased.<BR> <BR> The first orders for the GV5 have already been accepted, with deliveries to customers expected to commence in January 2002. Engines will only be available on a 2 year lease contract, details of which are available from the company.<BR> <BR> Any enquiries about the engine can be made through the EDL website, at this <A HREF="http://www.engdev.com">link</A>.<BR> <BR> <BR> SPECIFICATION – GV5<BR> <BR> CAPACITY 4997 CC<BR> <BR> CONFIGURATION 72 DEGREE V10<BR> <BR> WEIGHT 140 KG / 308 LBS (DRY WEIGHT, INCLUDES FLYWHEEL AND WIRING HARNESS BUT EXCLUDES CLUTCH & EXHAUSTS)<BR> <BR> DIMENSIONS <BR> LENGTH 622,5MM / 24.5 INS.<BR> HEIGHT 436MM / 17.1 INS.
