Fuel injection is a replacement for the carburetors that were around since the dawn of the automobile. There are many basic types of fuel injection, but we should start by saying what a fuel injector is - it's basically an atomizer, something that sprays a mist of gasoline into the air. This helps the gas to mix better with the air and stay in an even suspension, so that it burns more evenly and creates less pollution and more power. (Think of cooking spray vs.

NBB maintains the largest library of Bioheat® fuel and Biodiesel information in the world. Most questions can be answered through a review of the information on the National Biodiesel Board website located www.biodiesel.org. If further information is desired, you can email your question to the NBB at info@biodiesel.org.

Factors influencing size are; Power output, RPM, cylinder head design, cylinder capacity, position of the throttle body in the inlet tract and position of the injector. A smaller bore leads to better throttle control and response (never underestimate) and improved fuel mixing. The system should be considered in total - from (at least) trumpet flange to cylinder and proportioned accordingly.

Twin bodies are the most straightforward solution for tuning production engines, Direct-to-head where available, or via a suitable manifold. Direct-to-head-bodies represent the simplest and neatest solution. They are harder to match to the inlet ports if this is required for the engine in question, but have the advantage of being angled for best results, unlike a carburettor manifold. Single bodies represent the no-compromise solution.

Fuel injected engines are self adjusting, automatically idle themselves back when the lubricant is improved with Tufoil, just as the carburetor would have done.

We still enjoy working with the Carbureted setups, they also have a more traditional look to them as well. Easy to tune and less complex. We do provide a Fuel injected setups with the complete Throttle Body, injectors, fuel Rail, wiring harness, computer and sensors to plug in. The EFI Mass Flo setup is an easier way of going. Figure Approx. another $2,000-$2,500 over and above a Carbureted setup. It's recommended that you have technical knowledge on Fuel Injection when dialing in the engine.

Fuel injection is not necessarily any more complicated than a carburetor. It may seem more complicated to a novice fuel injection enthusiast, but in reality, carburetors can be more complex. A typical Holley carburetor has over 120 possible adjustments. A stock TPI intake has only three items which can be adjusted, both of which are on the throttle body (throttle position sensor, idle air control valve, and minimum air screw).

Besides throttle bodies, linkage and manifold (if required) typical components are; A management system , wiring loom, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, fuel injectors, appropriate plumbing, air horns and a ducting/filtration system for the incoming air.

There are many benefits. The quantity of dirt in your vehicles fuel injectors and carbon deposits in your engine's pistons and valves impacts how noticeable these benefits are. Benefits include:

A small amount of coolant is passing through the small hoses connecting to the throttle body. The main reason is so that during the winter months, the higher temperature of the coolant will keep the throttle body warmer thereby preventing icing. That's where the problem lies during the other months. By warming up the throttle body, you're warming up all of the air passing into the engine and thus losing some power (since cooler, denser air makes more power).

A Throttle Body Spacer is an add on to your air/fuel intake area. Originally used in the days of vehicles with carburetors, a throttle body spacer would allow additional fuel/air mix to be present to allow for additional power, or was used to "disturb" the air in such a way so that the fuel would form smaller droplets.

A No, this is unlikely as we are injecting a very weak solution closely related to a natural occurring body chemical. However, we would like to hear from you if you feel unwell after the test just in case this is because of something we have done.

You're right in believing that fuel injection is complicated. Factory engineers and technicians spent thousands of hours "mapping" your car's engine computer (ECU). Your ECU includes numerous fuel maps to deal with a wide variety of load and environmental situations. The signals sent to your fuel injectors are the result of all this knowledge. Rather than pretend we can create a better map, we let your ECU calculate the load, and temperature, and price of coffee at Starbucks.

ldquo;Yes”, we recommend that you see a qualified technician for fuel re-mapping or have an aftermarket fuel module installed.

If your vehicle is equipped with factory fuel injection stay with it. We offer several upgrades to make it perform better. We currently do not recommend after market fuel injection systems. They are over complicated, over rated, over priced and prone to failure. NASCAR and NHRA still run carbs. Our experience and a number of independent racers will tell you that their is no real gain in power. The injection system is usually better on emissions and thats why big government secretly pushes it.

There is no comparison. The WhiTek ECS will run any Harley engine, Sportster to EVO, stock to stroker, normally aspirated or supercharged. It will work with any cam, displacement, or compression ratio. It includes a control/display unit that is used to adjust it while riding. It is easy to install, and results in a neat, clean installation, since all of the components are contained in one unit.

Edelbrock and Accel have multi-port fuel injection (MPFI) systems, however the Accel must be tuned with a laptop PC. These are quite expensive though. Force Fuel Engineering in Florida can handle a conversion if you send them your manifold. They recommend an open plenum manifold, but they can do 180 degree manifolds, too.

Alcohol is very corrosive and, unless you are prepared to constantly maintain your fuel system, we do not recommend it. Larger injectors and fuel pump are required due to the additional flow required.

That also is a custom setup per owner. Some are manual throttles (meaning the operator raises and lowers) and are connected to the engine via a throttle cable. Most use aircraft throttle cable because of its flexibility and because it does not take much force to pull the inner cable through the outer cable. These manual throttles all have some type of manual throw. Mine is a brake lever, others use go-cart twist grips, 3-wheeler throttles, etc. Other types of throttles are electronic.
