Meeting future legislative targets for SI engines by means of low cost technologies is a big challenge for engineers. Despite the use of simple and cost efficient components these engines have to fulfill customer requirements in terms of power and fuel economy, representing the most important selling arguments. Without the possibility of integrating modern technologies like fuel injection systems for mixture preparation instead of simple carburetors, it is very complex to find viable solutions that enable the achievement of these targets. A main key to improve emission behavior, fuel economy and performance on carbureted engines is to get an insight in the mixture preparation process, especially under transient conditions.
