Direct-injected engines helped modern vehicles produce better fuel economy and stronger performance, but mechanics are ...

Three and a half years of engineering have brought this beast to life with direct injection, variable valve timing, and way ...

However, not all innovations are equal, and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

Direct injection systems, in which a high-pressure fuel pump pressurizes the fuel for injection directly into the cylinder by an injector, provide greater freedom in the injection timing and volume ...

Turns out the old technology did a few things no computer has matched.

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 ...

The world is looking mighty volatile these days, so there are plenty of reasons why you should be concerned with your car's engine longevity. Whether you're trying to sustain a higher-mileage car to ...

A Kia driver stopped into an unconventional place to get an oil change—an Advance Auto Parts—and that kicked off a conversation about a certain kind of engine and the love that it might require.

Direct injection engines deliver fuel at high pressure directly into the combustion chamber. When the fuel spray strikes surfaces such as the piston crown or liner, a thin liquid film forms. This film ...

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 ...
