How hard is it to make a tpi to sequintial individual firing injectors instead of all of them firing at the same time?

You would have get a computer system that would support it. I think maybe FAST does, there is also a company call 034 Motorsports, that makes a computer that will do sequencial fire, and fire off 8 coil packs.

Not to mess up your topic or anything, but why? Doesn't seem like something worth spending money on.

why? well, if the computer could support it, you could run 8 o2 sensors and each cylinders fuel will be adjusted per it's individual needs, in addition to that, when the injector is firing at the optimum time you get the fuel spray right as the valve opens and draws in the air, i am no engineer, but this seems like it would yield better fuel atomization, and thus more engine efficiency.

it seems to me sequential fire is one of the major contributors to modern engines being able to get the kind of economy they do while maintaining the level of performance they do. batch fire is the hack job way to wire up fuel injection. if you think about it, there is no reason the injectors should all fire at once (in actuality the fire in two different banks).

Most of the SFI stuff I've seen uses different style fueling system. Usually a deadhead system (no return line) like my Jeep has.

Not worth it IMHO.

Why do you think LS1's and LS6's get high power with strict fuel economy and high emittion standards. think about it. they produce more power and very effiecient compared to engines of yesterday.

It has way more to do with motor design than with SFI.

I know again it's jeep but for comparison..... Jeep's been running the 4.0L Straight 6 for years. Only recently have they been running SFI in them. EPA est only 1 MPG better than before.

Fuel economy goes up, but not much. As long as your fuel ratio's are in tact, it's not like you're "wasting" fuel.


Also, it takes a MUCH larger fuel injector to pump out that kind of fuel for high power in one shot. That's why some engineers have started using two injectors per cylinder.

The LS1,2,6,7 all use a returnless fuel system Wink
