Disadvantages of the EP6CDTR engine
There is very little information available about this extremely uncommon sports turbo engine.
First and foremost, it is important to keep an eye on the timing chain’s condition because its resources are quite limited.
The unit is also well-known for its oil supply pipes, coking of the intake, and oil burner.
This engine’s turbine rapidly fails due to a lack of lubrication.
Here, the direct injection system’s injection pump, water pump, and thermostat are merely consumables.
