Suzuki have brought out a replacement for their 120 bhp 1.6 petrol, its called petrol booster, 1.4lt, 140bhp, torque increase and almost 50mpg.
The times are a changing... petrol is making a comeback with variable valve timing, turbo and direct injection across all manufacturers etc.
And of course Ford with the impressive Ecoboost engine range.
It is nothing new... BMW has been doing VANOS since 1992, and variable lift since 2001...
I had variable timing in a 05 Skoda... And turbo as well...
All in petrol... 0 -

No... I was not referring to the technology being new. I was referring to the New Trend which is going across most manufacturers, which is towards turbo petrol and direct injection with variable valve timing.
In addition older petrol injection would not be the same as more modern petrol injection, as injecting into the inlet port of the suction manifold is outside the combustion chamber.
Modern direct injection is now injecting into the cylinder chamber itself.0 -

You must have a new car...
But no turbos or variable valve timing...
Our cars get quoted in more than 75% cases!
