Electronic fuel injection is older than you think, the earliest example being the failed Bendix Electrojector system from 1957. Bosch bought the rights to the Eletrojector system and developed it into ...
Picture an old windup desk clock. Now cross it with a gasoline engine, adding a tiny crankshaft and pistons. Tack on a few Buck Rogers bits, so it looks like Rube Goldberg's toaster. Flow gasoline ...
Let's talk exotic. Todd Jupiter's Mike Adams-built '65 Corvette has a '60s-style big-block with an individual-runner mechanical-fuel-injection manifold converted to EFI by Kinsler. The radical Rat in ...
Idle or wide-open throttle, there's no in-between. Great horsepower or horrible driveability, your only options. Since its '40s conception, mechanical fuel injection (MFI) was strictly reserved for ...
Q: I’m hoping you can bring an old-timer up to speed on fuel injection. I used to be pretty good at fixing things but hadn’t even considered trying to work on this one. I’d feel better driving if I ...
Sandia National Laboratories researchers (left to right: Nathan Harry, Christopher Nilsen, Drummond Biles, and Charles Mueller) show off their prototype of ducted fuel injection module for diesel ...
Mechanical injection systems rely entirely on engine driven components to meter, pressurize, and time fuel delivery. In these engines, a mechanical injection pump is driven by the engine's gear train ...
The key ingredient to maximizing the peak performance of a diesel engine is increasing the amount of diesel being burned. On old mechanical-injection engines, the only way to do this was to modify the ...
