down-speeding, downsized engine, etc.), and the effects of using higher efficiency combustion strategies such as dilute combustion with EGR—which would decrease the exhaust temperature. Ultimately, GMZ will test the final TEG on the dyno, and integrate it into the vehicle. Fuel Efficiency Thermoelectrics Vehicle Systems'
to eliminate turbo lag—in support of aggressive engine downsizing. CPT recommends a combination of the highly dynamic electric supercharger in series with a conventional exhaust-driven turbocharger to optimize the overall response of the system, compared to other air charging methods. Boost pressure is directly controlled by the ECU.
Turbocharging and downsizing can also yield fuel consumption reductions. Downsizing is an important strategy applicable in combination with technologies that increase engine torque, such as turbocharging or supercharging. Part of the gain from advanced-level CI diesel engines comes from downsizing.
This will be done with a broad range of efficiency-enhancing technologies, including the turbocharging of downsized engines.

Although the basic concept of the Class 1 Le Mans Prototype (LMP1)— a downsized turbocharged direct injection gasoline engine and two different energy recovery systems—was retained in the second generation, virtually every component was refined. Different requirements apply to the other WEC racing venues—i.e.
Thanks to this rightsizing approach, the new engine enjoys the consumption benefits of a downsizing engine in partial load operation, while at higher loads it has the advantages of a large-displacement engine. Contributing to this benefit is also the exhaust manifold, integrated in the cylinder head. Stansfield, P., and Freeland, P.
