These support the engine’s higher output and the greater cylinder pressures created by the engine’s forced induction. The cylinder head includes weight-saving titanium intake valves • Powertrain launch control optimized for the AWD system that helps get the engine’s output to the pavement for blistering performance LT4 Piston / Rod • Forged pistons • DLC (diamond-like coating) piston pins • Racing-style steel rod with machined / doweled joint Lube and Vent System • Variable-displacement oil pump • Continuously adjust oil flows to maintain proper oil pressure at bearings • Dual-pressure capability • Center port fresh air PCV fittings in the rocker covers as used in the Police Pursuit Tahoe Bulletin No.: 22-NA-160 August, 2022 Page 5 LT4 Combustion System • Gen 5 combustion system • 10.0: 1 CR • Premium fuel required • LT1 ports • Compact chamber and piston topography for optimized mixing and combustion • Titanium compatible intake seats • Hundreds of iterations of combustion systems analyzed • Over 6 million hours of CPU time dedicated to combustion system optimization • SAE paper 2013-01-1732 Development of the Combustion System for the General Motors Fifth Generation “Small Block” Engine Family LT4 T1 Supercharger • New supercharger cover top plate with Mondrian-inspired design specific for Cadillac Escalade-V • Carryover Corvette ZR1 LT5 air path and charge air coolers instead of open cover in Cadillac CT5-V. All supercharged air goes through coolers to reduce temperature and increase density of combustion air. Bypassed air is also cooled for lower inlet temperatures and avoid recirculating hot air. • Added coolant crossover for the Escalade-V application to optimize coolant flow balancing between charge air cooler banks • Additional third cooling fan for improved cooling/ intercooler performance • Largest production supercharger available from Eaton, a 2650 R-Series TVS Supercharger with 4-lobe, 160-degree helix rotor design previously used in Corvette ZR1 LT5 • Electronically actuated bypass enables lower parasitic losses during non- boosted operation • Lower 2.15 pulley drive ratio compared to previous GM supercharged applications results in more airflow at lower engine speeds and more torque and power • Higher flow Direct Injection fuel system allows removal of secondary LT5 PFI injectors and associated doghouses to open up airflow streamlines into the cylinders Fuel Delivery • Direct injection • Higher flow fuel pump • 2900 psi (20 MPa) operating pressure (LT1 was 15 MPa) • New fuel rail assembly • High flow injectors • 25 cc/second flow (LT1 was 20 cc/second) • Fuel spray cone for optimized combustion Valve and Camshaft Systems • Titanium intake valves • Continuously variable valve timing • Camshaft previously used on Corvette ZR1 LT5 • Cam intake and exhaust lift optimized for LT4’s high flow combustion system performance, accounting for short intake runners and supercharged manifold dynamics Transmission: Standard 10-Speed Automatic The V-Series Escalade is equipped with the Hydra-Matic 10-Speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. This 10L90 Transmission offers world-class refinement, shift times and towing capacity to provide a truly unique and amazing driving experience in this extremely capable SUV. • First GM offering of TAP shifting in a performance SUV • Exhilarating launch performance provided by optimized system • The 10L90 V-Series Escalade has increased first gear torque capability to levels never before offered • World-class shift times and smoothness coupled with highly capable towing • The transmission adapts and anticipates the next shift to deliver unmatched response and refinement • The 10L90 offers gear states with smaller steps between gears, enabling the engine to run at peak performance & efficiency • Precision control: Transmission uses a unique Cadillac-developed control system, with performance calibrations tailored specifically for V-Series Escalade. Intelligent controls automatically adjust to the needs of the driver to deliver a winning combination of smooth operation and aggressive response. • Enhanced Sport Mode: This impressive mode offers a unique DPM calibration, shifting pattern and performance shift tuning with tailored sporty pedal mapping. • Dynamic Performance Mode: Automatically activated by high g-forces generated by spirited driving when in Sport or V mode. Dynamic Performance Mode automatically selects the correct gear, providing smoother, faster shifts that help deliver an overall amazing driving experience. The Dynamic Performance Mode (DPM) calibration for the V-Series Escalade vehicles is tuned to deliver more aggressive focused shift patterns based on g-forces, acceleration, and deceleration rates. • Tap Shift/Manual Mode: Integrated steering wheel paddles allow the driver to select a gear and experience the speed and precision of the new 10-speed on demand. Electronic safeguards prevent over-revving if the wrong gear position is selected but relies on the driver to make upshifts or downshifts. Drivers who choose this manual Page 6 August, 2022 Bulletin No.: 22-NA-160 mode are rewarded with shifts that are quick and crisp, accompanied by unique V-Series Escalade exhaust character. • Sport Mode or V Mode: Real-time interpretation of driving conditions adjust the transmission operation to reduce shift busyness and improve performance while delivering aggressive, sticky driving dynamics. • Tow/Haul Mode – Intuitive uphill and downhill detection: The system detects the grade the vehicle is on and adjusts accordingly. When going uphill, the system will select the correct gear and reduce overall shift busyness. On downhill grades, the system will automatically downshift to help reduce driver fatigue and stress on the brakes (improving brake life).
