AB - In the actual content of pollution regulations for the automotives, the use  of alternative fuels becomes a priority of the thermal engine scientific  research domain. From this point of view bioethanol can represents a viable  alternative fuel for spark ignition engines offering the perspective of  pollutant emissions reduction and combustion improvement. The paper presents  results of the experimental investigations of a turbo-supercharged spark  ignition engine (developed from a natural admission spark ignition engine  fuelled with gasoline) fuelled with bioethanol-gasoline blends. The engine is  equipped with a turbocharger for low pressure supercharging, up till 1.4 bar.  An correlation between air supercharging pressure-compression  ratio-dosage-spark ignition timing-brake power is establish to avoid  knocking phenomena at the engine operate regime of full load and 3000 min-1.  The influences of the bioethanol on pollutant emissions level are presented.
