Cam Phasing and Valve-lift control Although a few tuners have modified the basic operating equipment of variable valve systems, this type of activity involves expertise on the level of sophisticated...
Electronic Injector Architecture The electronic fuel injectors installed in a port-injection architecture—a.k.a., indirect injection—consist of a housing, a fuel supply inlet, and two-wire electrical connector, and a valve assembly that...
Actuators are electromechanical devices that enable an EMS to make things happen in the world. In the realm of EFI, these include such devices as fuel injectors, boost controllers, and...
Choosing a CarThe choice may not be a choice at all, but a default “to mod or not to mod” decision based on what vehicle you already own. However, if...
Tuning for Dyno Numbers. The first thing that comes to mind when comparing two similar engines is power or torque output. Since these are measured on a dynamometer, the ultimate...
What ACT Means ? Air Charge Temperature (also known as IAT, Intake Air Temperature) Sensor used to determine the temperature of air entering the engine, usually variable resistance thermistor. What...
For years, a significant number of racers have been running alternative fuels. Historically, the most popular has been “alcohol,” which in the automotive context typically refers to methanol. Methanol has...
