Abstract: A control system of an engine is provided, which controls, by using a tumble flow, a behavior of fuel that is directly injected into a combustion chamber formed inside a cylinder of the engine. The control system includes a fuel injector for directly injecting the fuel into the combustion chamber, a tumble flow generator for generating the tumble flow within the combustion chamber, an ignition timing control module for controlling an ignition plug to ignite after a top dead center on compression stroke of the cylinder in a cold state of the engine, and a fuel injector control module for controlling the fuel injector to inject the fuel at an intake-stroke injection timing, a compression-stroke-early-half injection timing, and a compression-stroke-latter-half injection timing. The fuel injector control module controls the fuel injector to inject the fuel toward a vortex center of the tumble flow at the compression-stroke-early-half injection timing.

The solution applying device may have a lower end portion of the lip with an angle of not more than 89.degree.. A portion of the lip may extend parallel to a roller conveying the web and has a length of 0.1-10 mm.

Abstract: A control system for an engine with a turbo supercharger includes a first switching device for switching an introduction of intake gas to the engine in accordance with engine speed between a first intake condition, in which a charging efficiency of the intake gas is improved in a lower engine speed condition, and a second intake condition, in which the charging efficiency of the intake gas is improved in a higher engine speed condition. The control system also includes a second switching device for switching a maximum supercharging pressure of the turbo supercharger from a lower pressure to a higher pressure in response to a switching operation between the first intake condition and the second intake condition. An improved charging efficiency of the intake gas can be obtained in a broader range of the engine speeds reducing the maximum supercharging pressure of the intake gas, thereby preventing knocking of the engine.
