86676, Simple Injectors Question
Posted by GhostintheNight, Mar-04-05 05:11 PM
I'm still kinda new to the whole fuel injection part of our engines and all... so bear with me here. If you were to put larger injectors into a primarially stock engine, the only result would be the engine bogging down because of too much fuel right... 'cause there's not enough air getting to the cylinder...right? So if my assumptions are correct, you would really have no need for bigger injectors if you are N/A ... or am i completely wrong... ?

Yes, your thinking is right on. The stock fuel system is more than sufficient for the NA power being made, with a bit of room to spare. If you put in larger injectors, the ECU will still fire them like it's used to, without knowing that they are larger, and you will run way too rich. The Ecu can pull back fuel by lowering the injector pulsewidth(the open time the injector is spraying fuel), but it's limited to how much it can do so. The only time you need larger injectors is when you are adding considerably more amounts of air(ie turbocharger). Also, its not just as simple as putting in larger injectors and driving the car, when adding things such as turbos. Our ECU has no way to control these injectors, so we have to use things like a SAFC, lower fuel pressures, ect..

you are correct
our cars run rich from the factory as it is

the only reason that you would need more fuel is if you had more air going in (turbo)

We have a winnaH!! Very good grasshopper! There are many out there who can't quite grasp the reality that you have already laid claim to, "bigger is not always better" :thumbsup

man, i love it when something that i would think rather logical, turns to be true. Like i said, i assumed all of that in the 1st place, i simply wanted to make sure i was right.
