2014 Swift is Getting a New 1.2L Dualjet Petrol Engine

€‹

What is Dualjet technology?

• The new engine is derived from Suzuki's K12 1.2L engine and is incorporated with twin fuel injector instead of one found in most of the cars. That's why the term is coined – Dualjet – dual fuel injectors.
• The two jets are placed very close to the combustion chamber for a finer atomisation (fuel and air) so that it's easier to ignite and burn.
• The compression ratio of the engine has also increased to 12.0:1 versus 11.0:1 for the current engine.
• The engine also incorporates EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation). In this a part of the exhaust gases are extracted and water cooled to be reused in combustion chamber. This system lowers the combustion temperature and reduces the incidence of abnormal combustion.
• To further increase the thermal efficiency, the coolant jackets in this new engine has been redesigned according to the need. Moreover, it also features piston cooling oil jets at the lower side of the pistons to keep it at optimal temperature.
• The new 1.2 liter Dualjet pumps out 88.8bhp (90PS) and 120Nm of torque 4,400rpm.
