The key to performance in the '90s and beyond is information. Because of its compexifies, a more than rudimentary understanding of Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) will allow you to build a better ...

The subject of electronics in hot rodding rivals politics and religion as topics to be avoided in polite company. Mention computers to a reactionary hot rodder and he'll likely declare that silicon ...

Carburetors are old news. We've moved on to electronic fuel injection long ago. But of the two main varieties of fuel ...

Port fuel injection has some big advantages, but automakers increasingly are using gasoline direct injection instead. The ...

STMicroelectronics has partnered with Arrow Electronics to offer a complete reference design electronic control unit (ECU) for electronic fuel injection (EFI). The SPC5-L9177A-K02 ECU Reference Design ...

The Komatsu hydrostatic drive uses a high-speed and low-speed motor. When lots of torque is needed, both drives work through the crankcase; but when the machine gets up to speed, a clutch removes the ...

ST Microelectronics developed a Small Engine EFI reference design and is teamed up with Arrow Electronics to supply these boards quickly to customers. See Figure 1. What is the advantage 1 of ...

Small internal combustion engines usually keep things simple, relying on carburetors to handle metering the correct amount of fuel and air. Recently, [Carlos Takeshita] decided his small engine could ...

Modern piston engines are integrating advanced technologies such as FADEC, sophisticated electronic engine controls (iE2), turbochargers, and precise fuel injection systems. There is a growing focus ...

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 ...

Some of us have been there. Others never have. For those who have seen the inside, we realize it's a scary and confusing place. We slowly found our way around the "safer areas," then ventured further ...

Fuel injection, it’s the wave of the future. Well, at least it was in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This was really the dark ages of fuel delivery in cars and trucks. Carburetors worked pretty well ...
