Powertrain Systems

Delphi Multec^® Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) provides a complete engine management system (EMS) for small gasoline- and flexible fuel-powered engines. It is designed to help manufacturers meet exhaust and evaporative emissions requirements for small engines while also achieving targets for engine performance and fuel consumption. Delphi's Multec EFI provides manufacturers with a single, easy-to-manage, cost-competitive package of components that can be tailored to individual program requirements and price points.

Delphi's Multec EFI can include:

• Engine control unit (ECU) with software and algorithms
• Electronic fuel injection
• Throttle control (including electronic governor control)
• Air control
• Ignition coil
• Sensors and actuators
• Electronic fuel pump
• Evaporative emissions canister

Benefits

• Components are optimized within a complete, cost-effective package to meet the manufacturer's performance objectives and price points
• Delphi's Multec EFI can help reduce fuel consumption—up to 10-15% depending on the application
• It assists in reducing exhaust emissions to help meet regulatory standards and reduces carbon monoxide emissions for better product safety versus conventionally carbureted systems
• Compared to carbureted systems, Delphi's Multec EFI provides improved starting and overall performance over a wide range of environmental conditions (e.g. temperature and altitude), and better reliability
• Electronic governor control provides improved speed control and reduced governor droop and hunt versus a mechanical governor
• Delphi provides a complete software package and calibration tools
• Delphi's single point of contact for the EMS makes it easy for the manufacturer to manage and implement the program
• Delphi's experienced and knowledgeable EMS engineering support teams—with their systems development, calibration, and validation expertise—can provide fast response and enable the manufacturer to achieve fast time-to-market
• Delphi's Multec EFI technology offers product image development and marketing opportunities for the manufacturer

The Delphi Multec EFI for motorcycles includes: (from top right, clockwise) evaporative emissions canister, mini-switching oxygen sensor, ignition coil, manifold absolute pressure sensor, engine temperature sensor, intake air temperature sensor, fuel injector, engine control module, throttle body with throttle position sensor and fuel module.
