Re: ABBREVIATIONS/AFKORTINGS
EFI = Electronic Fuel injection = , usaually the injectors of an EFI system will inject the fuel into the inlet manifold where it mixes with the air and then gets sucked into the combustion chamber of each cylinder
FSI = Fuel Stratified Injection = VW system - here the fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber (like the D4D diesels)
this way you have much better control on the air/fuel ratio.

Re: ABBREVIATIONS/AFKORTINGS
Fuel Stratified Injection is a type of EFI system used by Volkswagen/Audi and is slightly more complex in working then the systems we use on the 4YE/22RE'sdalkill wrote:What does FSI stand for, and how does it differ from EFI. I pressume it's about the same?
