In conventional engines, fuel and air are mixed outside the cylinder. This ensures waste between the mixing point and the cylinder, as well as imperfect injection timing. But in the GDI engine, petrol is injected directly into the cylinder with precise timing, eliminating waste and inefficiency. By operating in two modes, Ultra-Lean Combustion Mode and Superior Output Mode, the GDI engine delivers both unsurpassed fuel efficiency and superior power and torque. The GDI engine switches automatically between modes with no noticeable shift in performance. All the driver notices is a powerful driving experience, and much lower fuel bills. It's the best engine on the market.
Major Objectives Of The GDI Engine
• Ultra-low fuel consumption, which betters that of diesel engines.
• Superior power to conventional MPI engines
The Difference Between New GDI And Current MPI
For fuel supply, conventional engines use a fuel injection system, which replaced the carburetion system. MPI or Multi-Point Injection , where the fuel is injected to each intake port, is currently the one of the most widely used systems. However, even in MPI engines there are limits to fuel supply response and the combustion control because the fuel mixes with air before entering the cylinder. Mitsubishi set out to push those limits by developing an engine where gasoline is directly injected into the cylinder as in a diesel engine, and moreover, where injection timings are precisely controlled to match load conditions. The GDI engine achieved the following outstanding characteristics.
• Extremely precise control of fuel supply to achieve fuel efficiency that exceeds that of diesel engines by enabling combustion of an ultra-lean mixture supply.
• Very efficient intake and relatively high compression ratio unique to the GDI engine deliver both high performance and response that surpasses those of conventional MPI engines.
