Specifications,
2002 Outback, all models
information subject
to change, correction
|
Engines:
-
Phase II, 2.5L SOHC 4 cylinder boxer
-
Horsepower: 165 hp at 5600 rpm,
-
Torgue: 166 ft. lbs at 4000 rpm
-
Fuel system: multi-port sequential fuel injection
with distributorless electronic ignition
-
California Low Emission Vehicle (LEV), all
models
-
3.0L DOHC H-6 cylinder engine.
This engine has an aluminum crankcase,
double-overhead camshafts (dohc) chain-driven with four valves per cylinder.
The timing chain does NOT have a replacement schedule - suggested replacement
of the rubber belt on the 2.5L 4 cyl is 105,000 miles.
The 6 cylinder uses Direct Ignition with
an individual ignition coil for each cylinder so there is no distributor
or sparkplug wires.
The H6-3.0 produces nearly 30 percent
more horsepower and torque than the 165-horsepower 2.5-liter H-4
and is only 0.8 inches longer. Premium fuel, 91 octane, is recommended.
-
212 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
-
210 lb.-ft. of peak torque @ 4,400 rpm
174 lb.-ft of torque @ 2,200 rpm

All Wheel Drive
-
Active All Wheel Drive, all Subarus except
VDC Limited.
-
Manual transmission: Center differential that
splits and constantly varies power, usually 50/50 front to back
-
Automatic transmission: electronically controlled,
mostly front wheel drive, constantly varyies front-to-back power split.
-
VDC All Wheel Drive VTD All Wheel Drive, VDC
variable dynamic control model only
-
VDC: (variable dynamics control)
-
The overall name of the system, and of the
model, of full time traction control that senses vehicle direction and
uses brakes, throttle and engine management to control and maintain stabilty.
-
VTD (variable torque distribution) All Wheel
Drive system that transfers powers front to back. Usually 45/55 front to
back split.
-
The way the system operates
-
the VDC Outback is always in all wheel drive,
using a Variable Torque Distribution (VTD) of 45/55 front-to-back power
split. When there is slipping the VTD system will vary and adjust that
front to back 45/55 power split.
-
When the wheels are spinning or the vehicle
is not going in the direction it is being steered, the VDC (variable
dynamic control) engine management system kicks in and will use brakes
to slow down wheel spin and control vehicle direction, and also control
engine output to cut back power to the wheel or wheels that do not
have traction, again to reduce wheel spin and re-direct the vehicle in
the direction it is being steered.
