L3 Turbo Engine
Variable Swirl System
•
The variable swirl system functions to lower emissions at cold-engine start (ECT lower
than 60° C) and at low engine speed (lower than 3750 rpm)
•
If both these conditions are met, the variable swirl system increases intake airflow speed
by closing the shutter valve and narrowing the intake passage. As a result, the air-fuel
mixture quality is improved. Additionally, the creation of a powerful air swirl in the
combustion chamber promotes the atomization of the air-fuel mixture.
•
Due to this, exhaust emission quality is improved.
•
A variable swirl switch monitors the opening of the valve and is connected to the PCM
for feedback.
