Speaking of runs, the club is doing a good<br />

job coming up with runs for the New Year.<br />

Be sure to come to the general meetings<br />

and sign up for them. I am planning on<br />

doing the Mystery Run October 25-29 th and<br />

hope to keep the cost at around $800 per<br />

couple. More to follow.<br />

It’s been one year since we went to the<br />

electronic format for our newsletter and I<br />

hope everyone is going online and checking it<br />

out every month. We have used the money<br />

saved to pay for the annual picnic and<br />

Christmas party and still have a healthy<br />

positive balance in the treasury. Charlie<br />

Fosnaugh continues to do a great job<br />

producing it and we all thank him. He is<br />

looking for members who would like to write<br />

recurring articles on things like recipes,<br />

Corvette information or anything else of<br />

interest. If interested contact Charlie.<br />

Skip Severance is heading up a project to<br />

locate and inventory club property. If you<br />

have anything that would be considered as<br />

such give Skip a call.<br />

The new board is getting settled in with<br />

their new duties and it looks like the coming<br />

year will consist of a little work and a lot of<br />

fun. Look forward to seeing you at the<br />

general meetings and on some of our many<br />

runs coming up.<br />

GARY<br />

Craig Hansen is at it again. He has a two<br />

week run called North by Northwest Tour III<br />

in the planning for the fall of 2016. In the<br />

past he put on Southwest Tour I in 2011 and<br />

Southwest Tour II in 2014. As anyone who<br />

went on either of these runs will tell you they<br />

were chock full of information, history,<br />

sightseeing and just plain fun. Some of the<br />

places on this Tour will be Banff Glacier and<br />

Yellowstone National Parks, the Custer<br />

Battlefield Cemetery and Little Bighorn<br />

Battlefield Monument, and Cody and Jackson<br />

Wyoming. The dates are September 3-18<br />

2016.


Parliamentarian, Craig Hansen taking a break.<br />

‘In the Garage’ with Keith Garrison<br />

The LT4: Another Legendary Corvette Engine<br />

C<br />

Chevy and GM engineers have developed and manufactured their most powerful production<br />

engine ever for the heart of the Supercharged <strong>2015</strong> Corvette Z06 Stingray.<br />

The <strong>2015</strong> Corvette Z06 will be powered by a fuel-injected small-block engine, the 376-in (6.2-l) LT4,<br />

that generates up to 650 hp and 650 ft-lb of torque. The engine gives the roadster a top speed of<br />

over 200 mph and a 0-to-60 time of 2.95 sec. It can also deliver 15 mpg driving in the city and 24<br />

mpg out on the highway, according to the EPA.<br />

Feeding it fuel<br />

An electric pump in the <strong>2015</strong> Corvette’s fuel tank sends fuel (premium) to the engine at about 400 to<br />

500 KPa (58 to 72 psi). This would be enough gas pressure for a port-fuel-injected (or non-direct<br />

injected) engine, but not for the LT4 and its direct fuel injection. Instead, the pre-pressurized gas<br />

goes to a compact megapump, in Chevy parlance. It mounts on the back of the engine and a<br />

camshaft running through the engine block drives it. A lifter mechanism inside the megapump<br />

translates the rotation of the three peaks or lobes on the end of the camshaft into the up-and-down<br />

motion of a piston that compresses the gas. It delivers outgoing fuel pressures up to 20 MPa (2,900<br />

psi), according to John Rydzewski, Assistant Chief Engineer on Chevy’s small-block engines.<br />

The pressurized gas travels into a fuel rail that consists of two arms, one for each row of fuel<br />

injectors above both cylinder banks. The rail holds gas at 2,900 psi until it is needed by the injectors.<br />

The interior of the fuel rail, as well as the access holes to the injectors, were shaped and placed<br />

using CFD and computer simulations to eliminate hydraulic pulsations in the fuel. This ensures fuel<br />

pressure is equal and consistent at all eight injector locations when each injector fires.<br />

The injectors had to be made larger than those in the previous LT1<br />

engine to increase the amount of fuel needed by the higher airflow. The<br />

shape and geometry of the injector nozzles were carefully sculpted to<br />

generate a proven spray pattern of precisely sized fuel droplets that burn<br />

thoroughly and fast when mixed with the incoming air and spark.


Supercharging the engine<br />

That incoming air, in most cases, gets a 9.71-psi boost from the Eaton R1740<br />

supercharger/intercooler assembly mounted in the valley between the cylinder heads. The 1.7-liter<br />

supercharger delivers 37% more horsepower and 40% more torque than the LT1’s supercharger, yet<br />

is only one inch taller. It’s also 20 lb lighter than the earlier<br />

supercharger. The R1740 was custom built for the LT4. The<br />

serpentine belt running off the crankshaft powers it.<br />

It was important the supercharger be as compact as possible so that<br />

the finished roadster would meet pedestrian protection regulations<br />

enforced mainly in Europe. Those regulations call for some give or<br />

compliance in the hood so that if a pedestrian is hit and falls on the<br />

hood, they are not falling on the unforgiving surface of the hood<br />

backed up by the engine. Instead, space between the hood and<br />

engine lets the hood give or dent a little and cushion the<br />

pedestrian’s impact.<br />

Inside the supercharger, a pair of four-lobed rotors spins at 20,000 rpm. The rotors each have a 160°<br />

helix (or twist) that broadens their effectiveness by letting them push more air, create more torque at<br />

lower rpms, and sustain the boost at higher rpms for more horsepower.<br />

The rotors are also shorter and have a smaller diameter than those in the previous LS9 supercharger.<br />

This gives them less mass and inertia, making it easier for the engine to spin them. But because so<br />

much air goes through the supercharger at such high speeds, Eaton and Chevy had to stiffen the<br />

housing with ribs and add dampeners to reduce resonance effects which can create vibrations and a<br />

loud whine.<br />

To make the supercharger/intercooler as efficient as possible, Chevy engineers crafted the intake<br />

and output side to be as airtight as possible, and the airflow passageways to be as unrestricted as<br />

possible. This includes the pathway from the induction equipment, through the throttle body, and to<br />

the supercharger, as well as the discharge port coming out of the rear of the supercharger.<br />

When air exits the supercharger, it travels through a V-shaped window and bends back up and over<br />

the intercooler and into the upper portion of the manifold. The design team again used CFD to<br />

minimize losses, reduce turbulence and heating, and let the air flow as fast as possible. Results from<br />

CFD were used to subtly alter the shape of the window, where it’s located, and how the path is<br />

contoured to smoothly take the air where the engineers wanted it to go. The supercharger only<br />

comes on when the engine computer determines there is a demand for it, otherwise, it is bypassed.<br />

Drivers cannot force it on or off. If drivers want the best mileage, they can set the transmission in<br />

the “Econ” mode (as opposed to the Street or Track modes). When in the Econ mode and there is<br />

little demand on the engine, as when cruising at 55 mph on a highway, Active Fuel Management<br />

(AFM) kicks in. AFM closes off a set of hydraulic valves and deactivates the lifters in four of the<br />

cylinders. The lifters still go up and down on the camshaft lobes, and the pistons rise and fall inside<br />

the cylinders as they remain attached to the crankshaft, says Rydzewski. But the pushrods remain<br />

inactive, so no fuel or air is let in, and the exhaust port does not open. The other four cylinders are<br />

working normally and receive a bit more gas than if all eight were working, but overall, AFM reduces<br />

the amount of fuel burned per mile.<br />

Tougher and lighter<br />

The performance figures for the LT4 engine are an indication of how<br />

much stress the engine components must withstand. Some parts are<br />

moving incredibly quickly, and temperatures and pressures are high. But<br />

Chevy engineers want parts to be light so that it takes little energy from<br />

the engine to move them. They must also stay relatively cool so they do<br />

not wear or weaken. Here are some of the technological highlights of the<br />

engine components:<br />

• Rotocast aluminum cylinder heads. Rotating the mold during casting<br />

eliminates porosity in the metal, creating a denser, more accurate head.


The heads are stronger and better able to handle heat than conventionally cast aluminum heads.<br />

• Combustion chambers are larger than those in the LT1: 65.47 cc rather than 59.02 cc.<br />

• Solid titanium intake valves are strong, lightweight, and have exceptional heat resistance.<br />

• Exhaust valves have a sodium center to improve cooling.<br />

• Connecting rods are machined out of forged powder-metal steel, which reduces the amount of<br />

reciprocating mass in the engine and lets the engine rev quicker.<br />

• The camshaft has a longer exhaust duration, which holds the exhaust valve open longer to let the<br />

greater volume of combustion products escape.<br />

• Lightweight balancer is made of aluminum.<br />

• The crankshaft is forged out of steel and has tungsten balancing inserts and ground collar pins.<br />

• Cast austenitic stainless-steel exhaust manifolds provide more strength at high temperatures than<br />

cast-iron manifolds on earlier engines.<br />

• Dry-sump oiling subsystem has a dual-pressure-control oil pump for more efficient cooling and<br />

lubrication.<br />

• Eight oil spraying jets, one for the underside of each piston, keeps cylinder and pistons cool and<br />

lubricated. The extra layer of oil also dampens any noises emanating from the pistons.<br />

The LT4 is assembled in the U.S. at the new Performance Build Center at GM’s Bowling Green<br />

Assembly Plant and at GM’s Tonawanda engine plant in New York. It is matched with a standard<br />

seven-speed manual transmission or an all-new, paddle-shift eight-speed automatic transmission also<br />

built in America (Toledo, Ohio).<br />

A convertible version of the <strong>2015</strong> Corvette Z06 costs $84K while a coupe goes for $79K. The standard<br />

convertible <strong>2015</strong> Corvette runs $55K and the standard convertible carries a $60K price tag.<br />

‘In the Garage’ with Jeff Levine<br />

Secrets of the Corvette Z06<br />

The Z06 Corvette option has typically<br />

had a single purpose: To humble wouldbe<br />

Corvette competitors foreign and<br />

domestic, offering supercar performance<br />

and handling at a price point that can’t<br />

be achieved by any other manuf. Here<br />

are a few of our favorite facts about the<br />

Corvette Z06:<br />

1. The first Z06 was built in 1963. The second-generation — or C2 — Corvette was the first to offer<br />

the Z06 package. Corvette godfather Zora Arkus-Duntov conceived the option package that mated<br />

Chevy’s fuel injected 327 V-8 with uprated brakes and suspension (and in most cases a larger,<br />

competition-ready fuel tank) to give privateer racers a leg up in competition during a time when GM<br />

couldn’t field a factory race team. Simply called an RPO (“regular production order”) Z06, it was pricey<br />

and consequently selected mostly by owners who intended to take their <strong>Corvettes</strong> racing. Today 1963<br />

“big tank” Z06s are among the most collectible <strong>Corvettes</strong>.<br />

2. The option was dormant for 28 years. There was no C3 or C4 Z06, and the name finally returned<br />

for 2001 in a very special C5. Offered only in the most rigid and lightest-weight hardtop body style, the<br />

2001 model came with an LS6 small block rated at 385 hp. It was quickly uprated to 405 hp for the<br />

2002 model year — as if the official ratings mattered. In a fine Corvette tradition going back to the 1967<br />

L88, it was found that Chevy had underrated the horsepower significantly; north of 425 hp was closer to<br />

the truth.<br />

3. Since 2001, only model years 2005 and 2014 have been without a Z06. In every iteration but<br />

the C2, there has been at least a one-model-year lag to let the new vintage breathe before shocking the<br />

crap out of enthusiasts with the introduction of the Z06. The C6 Z06 arrived as a 2006 model and the C7<br />

Z06 will be a <strong>2015</strong> model.<br />

4. The 2004 C5 Z06 and 2012 C6 Z06 are among the elite group of street cars ever to have<br />

broken an eight-minute time around the Nordschleife, part of the Nürburgring complex<br />

near Cologne, Germany. The <strong>2015</strong> Z06 will almost certainly join this group (probably with the A/C<br />

blasting, the stereo on and not otherwise breaking a sweat). Nicknamed “The Green Hell” by F1 pilot Sir<br />

Jackie Stewart, the Nürburgring is acknowledged to be one of the toughest and most dangerous circuits<br />

in the world.<br />

5. The <strong>2015</strong> C7 Z06 is the first factory supercharged Z06 and the first to offer an automatic<br />

transmission. Reputable aftermarket suppliers like Mid America Motorworks have long offered various<br />

superchargers to Corvette owners who want a blower, but the <strong>2015</strong> Z06 is the first to come with a<br />

supercharger — and the accompanying wail — straight from the factory. We have to admit, however, to<br />

being less-than-enthused about the new two-pedal option. The prospect of Z06 ownership by manual<br />

transmission-challenged twits like Justin Bieber and Kanye West is somewhat depressing. Thankfully,<br />

the insanely reasonable base price of under 80 grand will likely be terminally off-putting to the Cristalsnorting,<br />

Veblen good-obsessed crowd.<br />
