Do a little reading and stop thinking that the Americans are overwhelmed!
The electronic fuel injection (gasoline) was developed by AMC and then by Chrysler which was sold right to Bosch in the 50 years!
Chrysler had the first control module of all electrical components from 1989 well before Merdeces and BMW and all the others!
Electronic ignition, electronic automatic transmission and so on !!!!!!
Chrysler> 2002 V8 Maintenance Free Chain Overheads
For my part I have a V6 3,5 liters that has nothing to envy your 6 cylinders on all points!
Without a grudge, my friend!
Question info you have updates to do
The first electronic injection appeared in 1967 at Bosch (D jetronic first mounted on MB, BMW and Porsche then on the Citroën DS in 1969), before it was absolutely impossible to manufacture an electronic injection because the integrated circuit electronics did not exist ... knowing also that Bosch is the only manufacturer of electronic injector valves in the world ...
The mechanical fuel injections, that yes it exists since the 30 years, but nothing American either there dedant, still German: 109 1938 direct injection multi-point engines from 1941, but no allied aircraft has had injection of this type (only a monopoint very simplified from 1960), on auto there were the indirect mechanical injections Lucas and kugelfisher in car of series (since XNUMX), in the USA the injections were used only in competition (indianapolis) never in series, until proof of control ...
The American V6 even the most recent are still sharply criticized both in France and Germany for their excessive consumption compared to the most modern European engines, so there is no need to boast ... and the Chrysler, which does not consainet too much, it was a lot of engines ... Mercedes Benz (it was the case of those sold in Europe because the others are sinkholes ...
The "module of electrical components" I think you mean multiplexing ... many will say that it was a poisoned gift, well, a gift is saying a lot because the Concorde was already multiplexed, with electric controls, air inlets with variable geometry and carbon brakes and it made its first flight in 1969 ... oh yes, the Americans, at the height of their phenomenal technical superiority, had a terrible time developing the air intakes of the XB70 walkirie then the B1 (which was worth its weight in gold), copied the technical solutions developed for the "old" concorde: it will therefore have been copied by both the Soviets and the Americans, this aircraft built by 2 "dwarf" states that are France and Great Britain ...
just my 2 hundred as they say there .....
