OOOH neat-O! lol

 

The new DI piston crown geometry is pretty interesting. Notice the offset combustion bowl, a cue borrowed from diesel applications. I wonder, though, since all diesels are being mandated they come equipped with DPF systems, will the DI gasser engines be subject to the same emissions requirements? From what I understand, a GDI gasoline engine emits as much soot as a non-DPF diesel engine.

I guess the 20-30% increase in fuel economy makes up for it, though. Ford can't start offering these engines soon enough!

Awesome find!

 

yeah, when I floor it there is a huge puff of black smoke behind my car and it's impossible to keep the chrome tail pipes clean.

Mazda CX-7 -- direct injected turbo

 

I've never noticed anything like that on my CX-7, I'll have to floor it and watch and see.

 

When'd you get a CX-7? Why wasn't Arin notified? Where were the pictures?!

 

short memory?

Wow... I posted in that...

 

That is one of the common symptoms of a PW(Post *****).

 

HAHA Arins a PW!!!! I've never noticed anything from my 2007 CX-7 And ive got just under 30k on mine. No major problems other than the occasional drunk driver

 

You can't see it from inside the car... I've only been told about it by those following me. My roomate's Speed6 does the same thing.

 

turbo cars in general do seem to go through more oil then N/A cars. Not to mention factory tune is prob super rich to make it safe from dumb people and prob why it would be black.
