SAE Transactions, Vol. 96, Section 4: RECIPROCATING ENGINES–SPARK IGNITION AND DIESEL (1987), pp. 614-623 (10 pages) A single-cylinder, variable–compression ratio, direct–injection diesel engine was ...
SAE Transactions, Vol. 107, Section 3: JOURNAL OF ENGINES (1998), pp. 2172-2182 (11 pages) Direct Injection technology represents a major breakthrough for both, Gasoline and Diesel engines with ...
Just like we predicted a few weeks ago when the specs for the new Toyota HiLux were released, the Land Cruiser Prado is getting a new 2.8-liter turbodiesel engine, a brand-new one with direct fuel ...
Here's the story of perhaps the most legendary diesel engine ever made, the Cummins 5.9L.
You're looking at the world's smallest direct-injection diesel currently in production. Built by Mercedes, this 799cc three-cylinder oilburner weighs just 190 pounds and powers the $16,750 smart ...
Diesel engines lack the spark of gas engines, both literally and figuratively. They don't need a spark plug since they ignite the fuel using only compression, but also lack the 'je ne sais quoi' that ...
The basic difference between direct injection (DI) and the port-fuel injection (PFI) systems we've become familiar with since the mid-1980s is that PFI sprays fuel into the intake manifold (behind ...
It's an amazing time when there's new technology in the industry as it forces a new rivalry in speed parts, and direct-injection is firmly in the high-performance arena whether anyone likes it or not.
Diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios than gasoline engines, and fuel is injected under much higher pressure. An injection pump, usually driven by a belt or chain linked to the ...
