im looking for sources of information on this topic

thanks

Easy, Main stream injection, direct injection, etc. Just google the terms.

One or two cars were still carbed too in 1993 (Metro being one if I recall correctly).

well googling Main stream injection doesnt bring anything uself but i understand that from about 1980s the carb was replaced for fuel injection. googling direct injection will bring up the usual wiki page and how stuff work, but im looking for something more in depth about the history and developemnt of fuel injection....

19 years ago is somewhat out of his 'last 10 years' scope though really isn't it?

Wow maths fail there for me.

Carbs, Single point injection (basically a carb with an injector), multi point injection (proper per cylinder injection), direct injection.

You don't specifically mention cars so carbs are valid as many bikes in the last 10 years have used carbs.

I still have problems accepting it 2012.

well the direct injection in itself can be said to be over 10 years old. is there any source of information (website, book, journal) that discusses the recent development of GDI?

Agent_Smith357 · 10 Jan 2012 at 22:30

Yes here is a great website discussing GDI injection.

Disguised link to Google removed, not funny.

How in depth do you need to go?

For carbs use howstuffworks

You should be able to google the evolution from SPI to MPI.

There should be quite a bit available in direct injection as mentioned its been used for a while.

If it's expected to be in depth then you can go into batch and sequential ignition for MPI engines and ways of stopping icing in carbs etc...

People seem to only be focusing on cars in this thread. Carbs are still used today on gasoline engines.

hi,

i think the bulk of the work is probably going to be about gdi. please note im not a complete idiot and i have had a look on google but cant find a good source for indepth discussion of gdi development HENCE iv come asking here. comments directing me to go to google are not helpful.

meesh i think iv got enough about carbs and spi/mpi. im looking for more information on gdi
