you have always been a genius and pioneer in the fuel injection fuel tech area I watch all of your videos because they are very informative and educational. I have no clue why anybody would run mechanical on the blowers like they do now with today’s technology. Honestly, I’m very old-school in many ways, but you have to go with what works many years a four-cylinder would make 80 to 90 hp now they could make 400+ the same a small block Chevy a.k.a. LS and LT packages of today so you have to go with the times and technology. It’s honestly that simple.

Thanks for explaining the differences and advantages of EFI. One point: I believe that the irregular bhp curve for an actual hemi-engine should be addressed before programing the an air/fuel map... no mater if it's a mechanical or EFI system or carburetor. After all, the horsepower curve is nothing more than a derivation of the engine's torque at incremental rpm points. Fix the inexplicable dip in bhp BEFORE deciding how to accommodate for the deficiency through programing.

@johngorrie4087 11 ай бұрын

i use both top and bottom the entire time. like you said the hat injectors are hard to tell which one will affect individual cylinders. on my setup i lean the intake set to keep them all happy idling. what is the benefit from not using the bottom at low rpm?

@neversettle7666 9 ай бұрын

I am always surprised big budget, big HP cars like this are running port injector rails in series. It's common place that high performance 4cylinders run in parallel, 6 cylinders running twin entry with the return in the middle of the rail to reduce fuel pressure and fuel flow drop between injectors. I believe it also assists with injector pulsation / fluid cavitation along the rails.

@danielfmyers 11 ай бұрын

Very informative. What kind of people typically come to fueltech school?

The IDEA besides more fuel above the blower is also fuel above helps keep the air going in cooler and that says more HP

@krisallison3410 11 ай бұрын

Do you have anything for a nitro motor. An A/fuel (naturally aspirated) hemi for example. The fuel flow on a nitro engine is around double that of the blown alcohol counterpart on a modern TAD. They use three injectors per cylinder on a mechanical injection combination. Is there electronic injectors capable of that kind of flow?

@vehdynam 11 ай бұрын

Now that is extremely interesting. One question though ; it appears you are using a mechanical pump yet you reference a steady 90 psi for the injectors as a base. How is that ? Many thanks.

You guys need to talk with Justin Swanstrum, he’s done knocked that blower off every chance he’s had, I think your system would have saved all but the converter letting go., and maybe even that instant rpm change would have been caught by EFI.. he’s got a car that can run out front, but they have been struggling with their blower combo, and I know for sure Louis and Big Country like to do tune ups the exact same way, UP ARROW for the win… it would be cool to see Justin change over to fuel tech EFI, and start winning some races , I’m fairly sure the car is already on FT ..

There has to be a nozzle at the end of each one of those lines which is on par with a mechanical FI system. He gave everyone all of the positive attributes to the EFI but as with any system, there has to be some drawbacks he didn't mention.

@adamwiebe8386 11 ай бұрын

@@strykerentllc I would agree, but he specifically states there is no jet or nozzle downstream of the injector. It has less effect, as it's above the blower. But less atomization is never ideal.

@strykerentllc 11 ай бұрын

@@adamwiebe8386 Missed that in the video. Thank you for pointing it out. That being the case, it's simply pouring fuel into the blower which as you note, isn't ideal.

@luisdeleon2930 11 ай бұрын

You are correct about atomization. But theres minimal advantage to atomization prior to the blower. The majority of its advantage takes place after the blower, before it hits the intake valve and goes into the chamber. Before the blower is more useful to have the correct amount than the state of the amount of fuel.

Rules and injector size. Nitromethane requires around 4 times more fuel mass to generate same power as alcohol. And if you double or triple the power we are talking at 8 to 12 times more mass on a Top Fuel engine than a Pro Mod. Theres no injector large enough to supply that demand today.
