Encyclopedia > Fuel Stratified Injection

Volkswagen has moved boundaries for petrol technology with its FSI unit.


FSI takes the TDI principal of directly injecting fuel into the combustion chamber at a very high pressure. Precise metering of both the quantity of fuel injected and the fuel spray pattern brings the petrol engine closer to the efficiency of today’s reborn diesel engines.


The benefits of FSI are increased fuel efficiency, better performance and lower emissions, compared with similar-sized non-FSI engines. And yet FSI units produce more power than their equivalent predecessors.


The new Golf has several FSI engine options, including 1.6 FSI with 115PS.


A 2.0-litre turbocharged FSI 200 PS engine powers the new Golf GTI.

Gasoline direct injection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1003 words)
The fuel is not injected at the intake stroke but rather at the latter stages of the compression stroke, so that the small amount of air-fuel mixture is optimally placed just near the spark plug.
In this mode, fuel is injected during the intake stroke.
The fuel is injected during the intake stroke.
FUEL INJECTION (827 words)
The net effect is that some 25% to 40% of air, and inherently fuel are wasted resulting in high fuel consumption and at the same time increasing radically the amount of unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust in recent years.
The combined effect is that little or none, of the fuel reaches the crank-case and when the scavenge process commences with the opening of the transfer ports, a stratified charging process begins with air only in the proximity of the exhaust port and the rich mixture retained as remotely as possible from the exhaust port.
The SCIP system is derived from IFP’s compressed air-assisted fuel injection process (IAPAC), in which the fuel is introduced into the cylinder separately from the scavenging air to minimise fuel short-circuiting.
