Just popped into my Dad’s and he was showing me one of his motor home magazines, under engine size colum some engines were described as 100/130 or 160 multi jet where others were the usual 2.5 / 2.2 whatever.
Noticed that it was all Fiat vehicles, anyone know what this means?

Neither of us know what that mean's but I said I would be able to find out from oof.

Thanks for that Pete; very interesting for everyone I think!

Cheers Pete.
So have I got this right All fiat engines are physically the same size, whatever that may be and the difference in overall power omes from wether it is 100/130 or 160, can this be compared to the more normal description of size or have I missed something obvious

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Is it cubic inches. I think 60 cubic inches equals 1 litre (1000c.c)
Could be wrong though.

Not far off

So roughly speaking 100=1.7 litre
130=2.2 litre
160=2.7 litre   all figures rounded up.

[Mr Skrunts]

Nearer 1.6, 2.2 and 2.7 on those numbers

I reckon it's power output.

Right then Skruntie,that's all sorted then.
Are the pubs open ?

That's along the lines of my thinking, the article does not explain sizes / comparisons. And these are motorhomes so will not have high bhp in general.

Surely power output BHP. would not come under the heading "engine Size" I still think it is cubic inches.

Multijet is a technique associated with common rail diesel engines where they fire the injector more than once during the combustion cycle.

The theory is that when you have over blown them with a turbo to get max bhp that you can recover some of the lost low down torque by spreading out the power delivery on a  single combustion by squirting small amounts of fuel multiple times into the cylinder.

I suspect that the 3 figures are indeed bhp figures.....probably on the same block with the same cc

Thanks Marks DTM

You dont have to go to the pub now.  Mark has sorted all the confusion out for you.  

Nice One Mark.
