Fiat multijet diesel wins engine of the year award
6th June 2005

The jury of the International Engine of the Year Awards has elected the 1.3 litre MultiJet turbodiesel engine produced by Fiat and GM as International Engine of the Year 2005 in the 1.0-1.4-litre category.

The Fiat-GM 1.3 diesel engine won the award ahead of the Honda 1.3 litre IMA, Peugeot-Citroen/Ford Diesel 1.4 litre, Volkswagen 1.4 litre FSI, Toyota Diesel 1.4 litre, and Daihatsu 1.3 litre engines.

The International Engine of the Year jury, which comprises 56 of the world’s most respected motoring journalists from 26 countries in the world, judged every single engine in mass-production that is installed in a car on sale in more than one country. The list included almost 60 new engines that have come to market in the last 12 months.

The 1.3 Polish-built common rail diesel engine features MultiJet technology that was developed at the Fiat Research Centre. MultiJet uses electronic control to divide the main injection into several smaller ones to achieve quieter combustion, reduced emissions and increased performance.

Not as far as I know in the last 15 years...

You dont know they made a 1.7 renault!! The GT turbo was 1.7!! :eek:

I should shoot you now!

I was specifying the diesel engines rather than the petrol ones which the 3.0 V6 is!
 
No, they have a 3.0 v6 diesel....

The 1.7 was their main engine for a while, as used by Volvo I believe in the 340 and 440, in the R11, R19 and R21 and as you say the higher models of R5.

I thought you were talking about diesels only, which correctly as you say are 1.5 (in Clio, megane and scenic etc. either in 65/80/100BHP spec) 1.9 (in laguna, espace, scenic, megane in 120BHP spec) and 2.2 (I believe 130/150/170BHP? in laguna, espace, vel satis, avantime) and the 3.0 V6 (in avantime and vel satis, 180BHP).

Petrol currently they do a 1.2 8v, 1.2 16v, 1.4 16v, 1.6 16v, 1.8 16v, 2.0 16v, 2.0 low pressure turbo, 165BHP, 2.0 high pressure turbo, 3.5 v6 with 245BHP

We have owned serveral R21s of 1.7 (GTS) spec and one of 2.0 (GTX)

Hang on...that's what you wrote!!! It wasn't me making something up....they never have AFAIK made a 1.7 diesel.
 
Sorry yes i figured that after!!

I dint wanna look a fool after :p

I cudve sworn they did a 1.7 renault 19 and 21 in 1.7 diesel format!
 
no, 1.9, for ages they only had a 1.9 NA, which they later turboed for the early meganes and scenices before they made the more modern (but actually little better) dti then the decent dcis. Oh and they had a 2.2D and 2.2dT (espace and some lagunas) and ahh i also forgot, 2.5dT as used in the safrane autos....I don't know if that was a Renault engine.

Shame they gave all the engines to GM...lol

Sold, Fiat must be getting some money on it. But then GM is opening a plant to produce them since they were jointly developed.

So what can the 1.3 MJTD be tuned to?

Renault's 1.7 was a petrol engine. There was a 1.6 diesel in the Super 5, 9, 11, and I think the early Express/Rapid/Extra (all the same). The 1.9 diesel was introduced with the R19 in late 1988 or early 1989. The first turbo came out a couple years later in the R19 with 93 HP. this was an embarassment as the 2.2 turbo in the 21 and 25 was only 88HP. The 2.5 in the Safrane was not a Renault engine and just as well because it was a lot of trouble. I just sold my 99 Clio 1.9 D without turbo (turbo not available that year) with 65 HP. It was rather slow, but I got 201567 miles out of it in 6 years. Hope my Idea 1.9 MJTD does even better!
