In the field of diesel engine components, ceramic glow plugs assisting quick start up of chamber diesel engines had been developed in September, 1981 and ceramic swirl chambers followed in commercialization in April, 1983. These ceramic components are currently under commercial production and are installed on passenger cars on the merket. Silicon nitride (Si3N4) is the material of these components, and a lot of mass-production technique has firmly established in order to achieve competitive price and high durability in comparison with the conventional metal components. Because of its excellent heating characteristics, ceramic glow plugs have eliminated the “waiting time” before the start-up of diesel engines. As the result, drivers can enjoy quick starting of engines as they can do with gasoline fueled vehicles. Ceramic swirl chambers could drastically reduce idling noise of diesel engines and remarkably improved starting performance in the cold climate operation.

Turbocharged passenger cars have been in use more than three decades. However, the behavior of the engine at low engine speeds is still unsatisfactory. Experimental work has been carried out on turbochargers aiming to improve the behavior of the engine at low speeds. For this purpose a turbine with adjustable guide vanes has been designed and tested. These experiments were done on a turbocharged 31 diesel engine from Daimler-Benz. Three different turbine nozzle blades have been designed and tested without using a waste gate. The results are compared with those of the Garrett-turbocharger T03 which was originally installed with the engine.

According to the title, the article compares passenger cars produced in versions with SIE engines (spark ignition engines) and CIE engines (compression ignition engines), taking into account the situation on the Polish automotive market. A group of 25 selected vehicle pairs equipped with the SIE and CIE engine versions has been presented. The measurable comparative criteria have been defined. The results of the comparison were presented in the form of graphs with a commentary. The situation on the Polish automotive market was also assessed in the context of a comparison of both types of vehicles. The final conclusions close the article.
