![]() ![]() Both the i-DSI and VTEC have relatively high compression ratios at 10.8:1 and 10.4:1, respectively.īefore April 2006, the L-series were exclusively available with a 5-speed manual transmission, continuously variable transmission (CVT) and dual clutch transmission (DCT). However, it still offers a good combination of both performance and fuel efficiency. This engine is aimed more at performance than efficiency with a slightly higher redline with 4 valves per cylinder, which reaches peak torque at higher rpm. The other valvetrain in use is the VTEC on one of the two varieties of the L15A. The i-DSI is also known for not using Turbochargers in the performance category, as it uses a high compression, long stroke with a lightweight and compact engine. The i-DSI engines have two to five valves per cylinder and a modest redline of only 6,000 rpm, but reach maximum torque at mid-range rpm, allowing for better performance without having to rev the engine at high speeds. This process allows the engine to have more power while keeping fuel consumption low, thanks to the better gasoline utilization. i-DSI utilizes two spark plugs per cylinder which fire at different intervals during the combustion process to achieve a more complete burn of the gasoline. The L12A, L13A and L15A use ( Japanese: i-DSI), or “intelligent Dual & Sequential Ignition”. Two different valvetrains are present on this engine series. They are also sold in the Japanese-only Airwave wagon and Mobilio MPV. Depending on the region, these engines are sold throughout the world in the 5-door Honda Brio Fit/Jazz hatchback Honda Civic and the 4-door Fit Aria/City sedan (also known as Fit Saloon). The L-series is a compact inline-four engine created by Honda, introduced in 2001 with the Honda Fit.
