If our fuel quality improves, a direct injection can run a lot leaner and still pass emission standards

The whole SIDI thing is such a 'Holden' thing to market...they know most people don't know what's going on under their bonnet and will just assume it's some sort of space age phenomenon occuring each time they turn the ingnition, ha..it's the same fools who think their Cruze/Barina/Captiva are all Australian fair dinkum meat pies yo..

Before we get the band wagon saying anything about imported stuff for Holdens, just think where some Ford parts come from.

I know DI in an NA application is not worth the trouble....but with something like a turbo its quite good.

Its like when they had prototype twin cam motors for the EA but they went with the SOHC version because it did what they wanted and was cheaper to make. What to make of Fords TDCi badge. Turbo diesel compression ignition. |

From what I also understand, the finer spray of fuel into the cylinder provides a cooling effect giving better combustion temperatures, in turn allowing for much higher compression ratio meaning more power with the possibility of a smaller engine and lower emissions. There are more benefits as well but I can't remember. There was an article I think in Motor a year or two back when Porsche went DI in their 911 Turbo for the 997 model. The benefits of DI are there and it opens up the possibilty of it to be used in other markets which have strict emissions laws requiring DI. Whether it is worth spending the $$ on the I6 is another thing. While it is a good engine it'd need to be applied to more vehicles to make it worth the $$ spent on it.

Doesnt toyota have vvvvvti? Honda vtec whoooaaa!!!
Holden tried it a few years back with the ecotec v6? People said wow "ecotec" not knowing what it was, then they go alloytec and now sidi direct injection to make themselves feel advanced. Who is being fooled? |

A unique version of direct injection referred to by those in the know as "Severely-Impaired-Direct-Injection" . It sounds a bit sidi to me.

Knock it all you want. Fact is it works.
Like I wrote up in a previous thread about the SIDI engine, I can get 8.0lt/100km out of it and I wasn't being gentle to it (yay for revs)

He is not complaining about the "SIDI" name or how it actually works, he just knows it is using 2-3ltrs less per 100k compared to his previous non "SIDI" SportWagon.

Ecoboost friendly? I'm thinking that some bright spark with a CGI program could take the camshaft, spring, valve and combustion chamber module off the Duratec and using "One Ford" use all of those existing parts in developing the head. The D35 piston diameter is close to that of the 4.0 I-6.... Interesting part is that the Ecoboost V6 has the fuel injector on the side of the combustion chamber, unlike most European and Japanese set ups. ![]() Last edited by jpd80; 04-04-2011 at 06:05 PM. |

I think they have already copied the design off another Ford engine anyway, Modular maybe. They seem similar. |

You're one of these one eyed nitwits that need to get your head upright, instead of it pointing down wards. Fact is, all makes (and that's not limited to just Fords and Holdens) have their good points and their bad ones. It's just people like you that can't be bothered finding out where the good points are. So I'd suggest you keep your smart alex comments to yourself and grow up. You're acting like a school kid with your carry on. Mods and OP. My apologies for my abrubtness. Comments that people like this member make are pure childish and shouldn't be accepted on the forum, regardless of it beng a Ford based forum.
