Direct fuel injection into cylinders
Due to the design of the cylinder head chamber and piston dome, the finely atomized fuel mist created by the fuel injector is injected near the spark plug to achieve ideal combustion.

Air compressor

One of TLDIs essential engine components that is the driving force in achieving stabilized fuel injection.
Idle noise reduction system
The exhaust gases and the sound are routed through the labyrinth exhaust. This process reduces the noise level to a minimum when exiting above the waterline through idle port.
