A specialized tool assists in determining the appropriate size of fuel injectors for an engine management system developed by FuelTech. This tool considers various engine parameters, such as horsepower goals, engine type, fuel type, and target air-fuel ratio, to recommend injectors with sufficient flow capacity. The calculated injector size ensures adequate fuel delivery under different operating conditions, preventing lean-out situations and maximizing engine performance.
The utilization of such a tool is crucial for achieving optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and engine longevity. Incorrect injector sizing can lead to a range of problems, from poor throttle response and rough idling to engine damage due to insufficient fuel delivery at high loads. Originally, mechanics relied on manual calculations and generalized charts, but these tools offer increased precision and ease of use, minimizing the risk of error and streamlining the engine tuning process.
