SFI SYSTEM


  1. FUNCTION


    1. The Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent (VVT-i) system is designed to control the intake and exhaust camshafts within a range of 35° respectively (of crankshaft angle) to provide valve timing that is optimally suited to the engine operating conditions. This improves torque in all speed ranges as well as increasing fuel economy, and reducing exhaust emissions.

    2. The dual VVT-i system delivers excellent benefits in the different operating conditions as shown in the table below.


      1. During Idling

        B00231WE01
        Objective Effect
        Eliminating overlap reduces blow back to the intake side.

        • Stabilized idle speed

        • Better fuel economy

      2. At Light Load

        B0023HRE01
        Objective Effect
        Eliminating overlap reduces blow back to the intake side. Ensured engine stability

      3. At Medium Load

        B0023D8E01
        Objective Effect
        Increasing overlap increases internal EGR to reduce pumping losses.

        • Better fuel economy

        • Improved emission control

      4. In Low to Medium Speed Range with Heavy Load

        B0022ZRE01
        Objective Effect
        Advancing the intake valve closing timing improves volumetric efficiency. Improved torque in low to medium speed range

      5. In High Speed Range with Heavy Load

        B0023B3E01
        Objective Effect
        Retarding the intake valve closing timing improves volumetric efficiency. Improved output

      6. At Low Temperatures

        B00231WE01
        Objective Effect
        Eliminating overlap reduces blow back to the intake side to stabilize the idle speed during fast idle.

        • Stabilized fast idle speed

        • Better fuel economy

      7. Starting the Engine/Stopping the Engine

        B00231WE01
        Objective Effect
        Eliminating overlap reduces blow back to the intake side. Improved startability
