This engine has an open ECU which can be programmed depending on the type of experiments to be preformed. Spark timing, fuel injection timing can be varied with the help of this ECU. The engine has higher efficiency and higher power output because it can work in both stratified mode and homogeneous charge mode. This GDI engine can be operated in thermal head and optical head. Optical investigation can also be performed within this engine using different optical diagnostic technique such as Phase Doppler Interferometry (PDI), and Time resolved Particle Imaging velocimetry (PIV).
This engine is 500 cc, Bore: 86 mm, Stroke: 86 mm, Compression Ratio: 10.5:1, Maximum power:10 KW@3000 RPM, Maximum torque 32NM @ 3000rpm.
