With the C6 ZR1, a new threshold of factory performance was achieved with its supercharged LS9 engine. Rated at 638 horsepower, it was the highest-output engine in a regular-production Corvette until ...

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 ...

Nissan’s variable-compression turbo (VC-Turbo) is a unique engine capable of variable compression adjustment. Unlike traditional engines, which have a fixed compression ratio, the VC-Turbo engine ...

With direct injection, engines can run with higher compression ratios, higher boost, and higher efficiencies. The marvel has lead to widespread downsizing of engines, ditching large naturally ...

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.

Automakers have long touted the benefits of fuel injection, claiming increased efficiency and power. But as more cars have the system installed (around 73% in 2023), more and more consumers are ...

The paper reviews the literature for methods of increasing fuel flexibility in diesel engines over a range of fuel properties representing alcohols to high viscosity diesels. It was conceived that the ...

It’s heresy to old-school Cadillac devotees, but the new V6 in the STS is the most powerful of its kind that GM has ever delivered, thanks to direct injection technology, which allows for a higher ...

Direct injection. Just about every car has it now, and those that don’t probably will in the next few years. It can add power, reduce emissions, and is a big part of why just about everybody is ...

It was a red Lamborghini Countach, parked with its scissor doors open to let the sunlight in, what most probably sparked Alex's love for cars. Even though he was less than three years old when he saw ...

Gasoline direct injection, or GDI, is one of the most crucial bits of technology in the modern internal combustion engine. In engines equipped with GDI, highly pressurized gasoline is sprayed directly ...
