PULSAR'S engine is a twin-cam 16-valve unit with variable timing on the intake camshaft, fuel injection and distributorless electronic ignition with a coil for each cylinder. The electronic control module for the engine management system has been lifted from 16 to 32 Bit. Bearing surfaces of the crank and camshafts have been micro-finished to cut friction and a one-stage silent timing chain and new sprockets have helped reduce NVH levels.
