Delphi Multec® Gasoline Multi-Port Fuel Injectors

Delphi Multec® Gasoline Multi-Port Fuel Injectors provide manufacturers with industry-leading fuel injection performance at competitive cost.  This family of injectors for multi-port fuel injection (MPFI) satisfies a wide range of customer requirements for spray pattern, linear range, working flow range and operating voltage.  The injectors can meet a variety of packaging requirements and they are suitable for automotive original equipment, aftermarket and performance engines.  Delphi also offers MPFI injectors for non-automotive small gasoline engine products.

Benefits

  • Superior low pulse width fuel control, which enables excellent fuel control for low friction engines and increased evaporative emissions canister purge opportunity
  • Spray can be skewed to circumvent packaging limitations
  • Reduced spray variation and improved targeting for better cold start and transient emissions
  • Increased spray velocity and smaller spray particle size, which also helps improve cold starts and helps reduce transient emissions
  • Multi-fuel capability enables worldwide applications
  • Choice of lengths to provide packaging flexibility, improved impact protection and lower engine profiles
  • Electrical connection options add to packaging flexibility
  • Cold sealing to -40°C helps cold weather operation
  • USCA OBDII electrical connector is a submersion-proof sealed design and includes a connector position assurance feature for proper mating connection
  • Plugging resistant designs contribute to improved field durability and performance

Typical Applications

Delphi's Multec Gasoline Multi-Port Fuel Injectors are suitable for all passenger vehicle applications, from 4-cylinder and 4-cylinder boosted engines to V-8 and 12-cylinder engines.  The injectors can operate on any gasoline-alcohol fuel mixture (0 to E100).

Delphi also offers MPFI injectors for non-automotive applications including:

  • Motorcycles
  • Motor scooters
  • Marine engines
  • Personal watercraft and all-terrain vehicles
  • Lawn equipment
  • Gasoline power generators

They can be used for single- or multi-intake valve spark ignition systems.

Performance Advantages

Delphi Multec Gasoline Multi-Port Fuel Injectors provide excellent flexibility in design features and options, allowing vehicle manufacturers around the world to incorporate them into a wide range of engine management systems.  Delphi continues to improve and simplify the design of its MPFI fuel injectors to meet customer benchmarks for quality and cost.

Delphi has produced more than 500 million MPFI injectors for customers around the world.  That vast experience has led to product and manufacturing process improvements, which have helped eliminate contamination-related failures.  Delphi's in-depth knowledge of systems and the combustion process help manufacturers optimize injector performance.

Delphi offers a worldwide manufacturing base providing the capability to support customers with localized content.  Manufacturing facilities are located in the following:

  • United States
  • Austria
  • China
  • Brazil
  • Korea

Delphi Multec® 3.5 Fuel Injector Family

 

Delphi Multec® Multi-Port Fuel Injectors are available in various design configurations to meet a wide range of customer requirements.

The Delphi Multec Fuel Injector family includes a simplified injector design that helps provide benchmark quality and offers excellent durability, linear range, and improved robustness to plugging.

The Delphi Multec MPFI family includes the Delphi Multec® 3.5 Max Fuel Injector, which can help manufacturers meet California Air Resources Board (CARB) Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) Emissions Standards.   It features superior flow capacity for ethanol fuel blends (0 to 100), without sacrificing low fuel performance.  It also offers:

  • PZEV-capable spray and tip leakage
  • Extended tip to enable flexibility in packaging and to deliver the fuel spray close to the intake valves
  • Customer-driven flexibility for options
  • Flexible spray geometry includes single- and dual-spray, variable cone and separation
  • Availability of premium features, such as: PZEV spray, targeting and low tip leak
  • Multiple options for electrical connectors
  • Various packaging lengths—including a new micro-length package—and two types of mounting configurations available:
    • Conventional clip
    • Cushion steel



The tip of Delphi Multec® 3.5 Fuel Injectors features a multi-hole director plate that provides fine atomization.

The Delphi Multec® 3.5 Max Fuel Injector offers high-flow capacity for E85 fuel compatibility.

Delphi Multec® 2 Fuel Injector

The Delphi Multec 2 Fuel Injector meets worldwide application requirements for passenger vehicles.  It is suitable for single- or multi-intake engines that can operate on any gasoline-alcohol fuel mixture.  Its small size enhances packaging flexibility and improves spray targeting and impact protection.

The Delphi Multec 2 Fuel Injector features a wide linear flow range, which permits the use of the same injector for multiple applications.  It is suitable for application requirements up to 6 grams per second static flow and below 2 milligrams per pulse.  It also offers:

  • Low tip leak rates
  • Multi-fuel capability
  • Availability of three electrical configurations
  • Minimized sensitivity to temperature and engine vacuum
  • Design features that reduce durability flow shift and sensitivity to contamination helps provide increased reliability
  • High linear flow range



The Delphi Multec® 2 Fuel Injector is available in two lengths for manufacturer packaging flexibility.
