Chrysler

Chrysler is perhaps the best known automobile manufacturer in America. A company with a long and storied history, they started producing automobiles back in 1925. And for ten years prior, they sold cars using the name Dodge. From 1998 until 2007 Chrysler, along with its subsidiaries were the part of the Daimler-Chrysler company, based in Germany. But in May of 2007, Daimler-Chrysler sold the Chrysler brand a company called Cerberus Capital Management. Daimler currently holds less than a 20 percent share. In August of 2007, Chrysler renamed themselves The New Chrysler, and displayed their new logo which, like their new name, is only a variation of their old logo the star pentagon shape. Chrysler, one of the best known auto manaufacturers, is now the world's largest as well.

The Simca Type 315 engine was developed by Simca before it was taken over by Chrysler. Later, it was manufactured by Peugeot. This solid, sturdy, and extremely reliable family of engines was used primarily in the Horizon. The Chrysler K engine, which had included the straight-4 SOHC engine, was specially designed for the K-cars which were also referred as the trans four or K-car engine. This particular 2.2 liter engine was ultimately expanded to 2.5 liters during 1985 and it included both turbocharging and fuel injection. Ultimately, however, the highest performing engines were actually offered with the 16V Lotus head, Garrett turbocharger and Twin Cams with DIS and intercooler. These versions had been rated to be 224 hp.

The Chrysler Neon Engine
In 1994 the Chrysler company modified their 2.2 liter Chrysler K engine, which was basically for the 2.0 liter straight-4, so as to be included in the Dodge Neon which is a compact vehicle. The same engine was also available in DOHC and SOHC versions but the DOHC version was later expanded in order to use them with vehicles like the Breeze, Stratus and Cirrus models. The turbocharged versions however made their way in the PT cruiser with the Dodge STR-4.

The Tritec engine
In 1997, Chrysler teamed up with BMW to build the small but impressive small straight-4 engine, under the auspices of a company named Tritec. It was a version of the SOHC Neon engine to be used in subcompact cars built in Brazil. So-named the MINI, this engine has all the bells and whistles: 16 valve head, ETC electronic throttle control and meets the most stringent European requirements for emissions.
