TSI TECHNOLOGY

Following the success of its TDI and FSI engines, Volkswagen is launching the latest in a line of pioneering inventions with the introduction of TSI petrol technology.

FSI uses the direct injection of petrol into the combustion chamber to improve efficiency and hence reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Taking this further, TSI uses -- for the first time ever -- an FSI engine which is then dual-charged through a combination of an engine driven supercharger and an exhaust gas turbocharger arranged in series.

The driving characteristics of the new TSI engine are improved over those of the current FSI unit. The belt-driven supercharger operates at the lower engine speeds, with the turbocharger coming in as engine speed increases. The result of this is excellent driveability and performance throughout the range with no turbo lag and high maximum torque.

Key to the TSI's success is that direct injection allows an abnormally high compression ratio of 10:1 to be used in conjunction with high maximum boost pressure of up to 2.5 bar absolute. This enables the relatively small engine to use very high gearing to provide exceptional fuel efficiency for a petrol engine, particularly at motorway cruising speeds. As an additional bonus, the TSI engine provides driver enjoyment, producing high power and torque across a rev range from 1,000 to 6,500 rpm.

The new TSI engine has a capacity of 1.4-litres (1,390 cc) and produces either 140 or 170 PS. The 170 PS version has the same peak power as a conventional 2.3-litre petrol unit but with 20 per cent lower fuel onsumption, returning 38.2 mpg on the combined cycle. It also produces impressive torque of 177 lbs ft (240 Nm) from 1,750 through to 4,500 rpm. All TSI engines drive through a manual six-speed gearbox. A DSG automatic option is also available with the 170 PS engine. This will be offered later in the year with the 140 PS unit.

TSI technology has already received international acclaim, having been named Best New Engine of 2006 in the International Engine of the Year Awards. It also won the 1-litre to 1.4-litre category.

  • the reason why these engines blow up is because some powerhorse fanatics will try to upgrade to a bigger turbo thinkin that any turbo on any car can be upgraded to a bigger one. TSI turbo is not meant to be upgraded, it was designed at moderate power gains with a goal of keepin it fuel efficient. It's not a tuner's car, it's just a family car with a bit of extra farting power.

  • these engines are great 170 bhp out of a 1.4 l block? americans can't do that. no offense though

see all

  • @MyChemicalJasper483 Of course Americans could build engines with 170bhp from a 1.4l block. But why would they?

  • TSI TURBOCHARGER,TFSI TURBOCHARGER,TFSI TWIN TURBOCHARGERS can use petrol octance 98-100,

  • DESEIL ENGINE WITH TURBOCHARGER INTERCOOLER DAMGED ; 85% per day

    COMMONRAIL DESEIL ENGINE WITH TURBOCHARGER INTERCOOLER DAMGED ; 77% per day

    COMMONRAIL DESEIL ENGINE WITH BI TURBOCHARGERS INTERCOOLER DAMGED ; 81% per day

    CGI ENGINE WITH TURBOCHARGER INTERCOOLER DAMGED ; 95% per day

    CGI ENGINE WITH BITURBOCHARGERS INTERCOOLER DAMGED ; 99% per day

    PETORL ENGINE WITH TURBOCHARGER INTERCOOLER DAMGED ; 95.9% per day

    PETORL ENGINE WITH BITURBOCHARGERS INTERCOOLER DAMGED ; 99.9% per day

  • WHY DO THEY ENJOY TURBOCHARGER?

    THE ANSWER is CLEARLY,they are fool with 0 IQ AND RICH FOR WASTE MEDAL MATERIAL FOR THIER PRODUCT AND THEIR BRAIN THINK IT'S EASY TO MADE PERFORMENT.

    THEIR BRIAN AND THEIR MIND LIE THEMSELVES WHO SHALL GO TO Psychiatrists for spare real world and unreal world.

    Because TURBOCHARGER BURN AND DESTORY PART OF PERTOL ENGINE,GASOLINE ENGINE AND TURBINE ENGINE IN 90% per day.

  • NO ECONOMY WITH TSI TURBOCHARGER,TFSI TURBOCHARGER IN 1.8,2.0 on road : A4 1.8 TFSI WITH 2,400L/100km on highway,2,000L/100km in city, A4 3.2 FSI : 10L/100km in city,7.5L/100km on highway,A4 2.0 TDI ; 13L/100km in city,9.9L/100km on highway.

  • @MyChemicalJasper483 There is no replacement for displacement. Large displacement, naturally aspirated engines last much longer than tiny turbo engines, and can run on regular gas, while these tiny overboosted engines require pemium, or you will lose all the power from the boost.

  • TSI engine = saftey???? LOL

  • @hugostv Dude from Cypress made the 1.4TSI up to 500+ hp

    I can send you a link to a thread on forum.

  • @evydaemon Nothing wrong with the turbo on this engine,just muppets treating turbo like crap ie. not letting turbo cool down before turning off,revving the shit out of it when its cold and not bothering to change the oil.

    Whats not cost effective about this engine?the extra fuel you would use in a 3.0 l v6 could buy the car after three years.
