MrsMcBee Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I thought I had a Titanium Ti-VCT but I've just found some paperwork in my car that says Fiesta 1.6 PFI-VCT on it. What's the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvyeg77 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Effectively nothing. You wanted a Titanium with the 120PS 1.6 variable valve timing and that is what you've got. If that sounds snappy/sarcastic, I apologise as that is not how I intend it to sound. Its just that they sometimes use a fancy snappy title for an engine in the World of marketing and sales, but in the real World you get its proper name and the two do not always seem to be identical ;-) Harvey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Effectively nothing. You wanted a Titanium with the 120PS 1.6 variable valve timing and that is what you've got. Actually it's Variable Cam Timing And I wouldn't worry about the PFI bit, you have the right engine ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurfs Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 :rolleyes:PFI = Port Fuel Injected, engineers fancy name for fuel injection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvyeg77 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Actually it's Variable Cam Timing What is the difference between variable cam timing and variable valve timing? Surely they are one and the same, if you vary the cam it results in a varied timing of the valves and vica-versa to effect a timing variation on the valves you need to alter the cam which actuates them. Awaiting the influx of corrections ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKChris Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 lol, my first car has a FIRE engine, stood for something like Fully Integrated Robotised Engine (in other words robots built it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvyeg77 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 At least a Ford with Ti-VCT or PFI-VCT makes sense. My wife's Astra has a Z16XE, the only logic in that is that it is a 1.6 ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
