Kappa Engine
Hyundais i10 minicar with a 1.25 liter Kappa engine will deliver a fuel economy rating of 5.0L/100km (4 mpg! in the "uropean com#ined test cycle$$for #est in class performance. %nd Kappa runs cleaner than the competition& 'n the "uropean com#ined test cycle( an i10 e)uipped with the Kappa engine produces *ust 11+g,-m of ./2$far less than the 0iat 1anda( 0iat 1unto( /pel .orsa( 2enault 3wingo and 4issan 5icra. Kappa also impresses with its high specific tor)ue rating of +.6-g.m per liter$$#est in class$$for e7cellent driva#ility in stop$and$go city traffic. Kappa will also #e installed in Hyundais i20 due to #e revealed at this autumns 1aris %uto 8how. 9eveloped over a period of 4: months( the Kappa pro*ect harnessed all of Hyundais engineering -now$how in the )uest to s)uee;e more energy out of each droplet of fuel while achieving "<2/$4 emissions compliancy.
segment$$#ut pea- tor)ue is rated #est$in$class at 12.0-g.m per 4000rpm$$ensuring outstanding acceleration and driving en*oyment. Kappa adopts a num#er of weight and friction reducing innovations to achieve its impressive fuel economy. 0irst( the engine #loc- is made from high pressure die$cast aluminum which results in considera#le weight savings& >eighing a mere :2.4-g (1.2 with manual gear#o7!?Kappa is the lightest in its class among leading "uropean and @apanese$ made engines (using the same measuring criteria across the competitive set!.
an improvement in fuel consumption and a reduction in noise( vi#ration and harshness. "ngineers also devised an innovative piston concept to reduce piston mass. 3he shape of the piston s-irt was optimi;ed to reduce its si;e while the compression height of the piston was also reduced( resulting in precious weight savings. 3he optimi;ed piston s-irt is also treated with 5oly#denum 9isulfide (5o82!( a special anti$friction coating. % highly sophisticated process of 1hysical Capor 9eposition (1C9! is used to apply an ultra$thin layer of chromium nitride (.r4! to the pistons oil ring. .r4 ensures high wear resistance and a low friction coefficient. .r4$coated piston rings using 1C9 is an innovative technology #orrowed from the 3au C: engine that Hyundai introduced earlier this year. 0riction #etween the oil ring and cylinder wall has #een further minimi;ed #y reducing the oil ring tension. 3he smaller mass and special surface treatment of the piston s-irt and oil rings yielded additional savings in fuel consumption. Kappa is the first Hyundai engine to #e fitted with an accessory drive #elt which does not re)uire a mechanical auto$tensioning ad*ustment device( reducing the hardware and further lowering weight and cost. Aecause it is designed to maintain an ideal tension setting( the #elt runs )uieter and with proper preventative maintenance and care( the #elt will last 100(000 miles. Kappa uses a new( longer reach spar- plug which ena#led engineers to enlarge the si;e of the water *ac-et to promote more efficient engine cooling around the critically important spar- plug and e7haust port area. .ooler operation also prevents engine -noc-ing. 3he long reach spar- plug (512 thread! also ena#led engineers to enlarge the valve diameter for increased airflow and com#ustion efficiency. Kappas valvetrain features a num#er of innovations& roller swing arm lowers friction in the valvetrain there#y helping improve fuel efficiency. Hydraulic lash
ad*usters ensure clearances #etween the valve stem and roller swing arm are always perfect& ;ero( eliminating valve tapping noise. % new valve spring features an innovative #eehive shape and smaller retainer. 'ts reduced weight and spring load help lower friction and improve fuel economy. Kappas valvetrain is driven #y a silent$type steel timing chain that replaces roller$type timing chain& 3he optimi;ed design greatly reduces impact forces and noise when the gear tooth and chain engage. 5oreover( the chain re)uires a#solutely no maintenance. % lightweight( heat$resistant engineering plastic was specified for the inta-e manifold. 3his reduces cost and weight and yields an overall performance improvement. 3he fuel delivery pipe assem#ly is a returnless type (to eliminate evaporative fuel emissions! and is made of 8<8 (steel use stainless! with an innovative inner structure for the reduction of pulsation noise. Kappa is controlled #y two 16$#it D25h; microprocessors for digitally precise control of the ignition timing( idle speed( -noc-ing and emissions. Kappa is the eleventh in its series of gasoline engines to #e independently developed with Hyundai technology. 3he development story #egan in 1++1 with the introduction of Hyundais first proprietary engine( the four$cylinder %lpha (see list #elow!.
