In this video, I will demonstrate how to effectively clean intake valve deposits on gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines while addressing common questions about GDI technology. Key topics covered ...

Valve gunk is nasty stuff that comes from the toxic vapor of steam, oil, gasoline and hydrocarbons circulating around the inside of your engine. A normal process of combustion in any gas powerplant, ...

Direct-injection engines were introduced with a promise that sounded ideal: more power, better fuel efficiency, and cleaner emissions, all from a more precise way of delivering fuel. On paper, the ...

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 ...

Direct fuel injection is creeping into more mainstream vehicles these days and it can have an inherent fault we need to be aware of. First, what is direct injection? Direct fuel injection on gasoline ...

If you flip through the list of features on just about any new car or truck, you’re likely to see the words “direct fuel injection,” or DI. The concept is straightforward enough -- engineers have ...

GM Powertrain announced today it will deliver a 3.6-liter V-6 gasoline engine with direct injection and variable valve timing (VVT) technologies in the 2008 model year. A vehicle application will be ...

What is gasoline direct injection and how is it different from traditional methods of getting fuel into your car's engine? Antuan Goodwin Senior Writer, Electrified Cars Antuan started out in the ...

So we wake up one day and decide we want to throw a supercharger on the C7, and while we are there let’s throw a cam in it, too! The supercharger is an air pump in front of the air pump and its ...
