www.alfaromeo.it/mito/multiair Massimo Fulfaro, one of FPT's Development Engineers, will be showing you all the technical details of MultiAir, using an example engine.
The servo controlled valves on just one side appear to be a hybridization of an engine that I see being developed by Koenigsegg. If one could accurately predict angular position and velocity with a sensor all that cam follower stuff could be done away.
In a hybrid setup where an engine only charges a battery or hydraulic accumulator, an engine is best to run at a constant speed at its efficient "sweet spot". That does not require this variable vale timing complexity. The engine can be much simpler, or even a Stirling which is even better.
Yes man that would be nice to keep their projects to their own cars, MiTO is such a great car, MULTI-LIFT engines RULES, we will see if they sell stuff for money, but you are probably right, they are big ow and have big revenue!!! FORZA ITALIA, FORZA ALFISTI!!!
This is so true, however I believe that Fiat won't be selling this technology.. Back in the day they needed the money when they sold their technology but that isn't the case today and I hope they realize that they certainly would make a bigger profit to keep this and future technology in their own cars!
@Sanyey comparing Opel and Fiat / Alfa, with my experience, Opel is much more resistant but not more faster! My uncle has a blue Opel Kadett by Bertone! That is indeed a car for life! Never let him down. My brother had a Alfa Romeo 147...he had so many electric problems... My girlfriend had a Mito...in one year, she had to go three times already to a car workshop...
Incredible technology compared to variable valve timing, however, instead of using a timing belt, why couldn't they use a chain, save the hassle and cost for many owners across the world.
it just goes to show that.... the biggest engine isn't always the best 1.4l producing 135 - 170bhp some 2.0L engines can't produce that Fiat are the daddy!
10 % more power and 30% less fuell consumption in confront of the traditional 4 stroke who had 0,9 times the power of this new engine. yeah it's worth all this . This is the good side of Italy
One of the best engines / technology out there
Fiat’s new 1.4-litre MultiAir Turbo has been named the Best New Engine of the Year by the International Engine of the Year Awards
Hello my Friend.
che geni i signori della fiat! questa idea del multiair e davvero rivoluzionaria! bravi continuate cosi!
Alfa go! go! go! Go and revival!
Great multiair unit fell apart in my fiat. Great quality.

La teoria bellissima...la pratica un disastro

Yer done good Massimo, yer done good lad.
Enfin une explication claire concernant ce système ;-)

Koennigseg uses a similar idea in a milder form. Theg call it freevalve system.

tem como trocar a valvula solenoide

What about early intake opening?
