your injector pulse is controlled by the distrbutor, so the injector is open the same amount of time for each rotation. so it's rich at idle, and lean at speed. only variation you can really do is pressure. vary it by speed, and you should be able to control mixture %.

[@FrankFactor]

This is exactly the issue. Injector pulse width or pressure needs to be changed with engine speed.

In 1988 ford autralia did this for the EA falcon and called it CPI (centerpoint injection). It was 2 fuel injectors in the center of a throttle body. It wasnt terrible but also no great. It was used until 1992 and succeeded by MPI in the EB falcon. You wont get it running spot on without a computer to change the injector pulse so its going be fine at idle and lean out at revs or flood at idle and be fine in the revs. The points are consistant and when you rev, the points contact is shorter so injector will have shorter pulse when it needs to have longer. Basically, find a method to increase the injector pulse time the faster the engine revs.

I like that you have more injection events as the rpms increase, but the injector "on" time decreases at the same time. I think you need an accelerator pump feature to squirt fuel when you move the gas pedal. I don't think the throttle body is too big. It's just a matter of incorrect fueling for the amount of air being ingested. A vacuum referenced fuel pressure regulator can also help reduce fuel pressure to lean out the mixture during idle and light cruise but add fuel pressure as rpms increase. Very cool concept and it could work well with a few refinements.

[@vxltxrr4dd]

I did not even realize the "on" time thing. You are smart.

[@TestECull]

@Byw That's only because mechanical anything is a bad word these days and we've been dealing with computerized cars for over 30 years. Doesn't change what words mean. TBI is TBI regardless of whether the fuel injection is controlled by a computer, some clever valving, or hacked out of an old points distributor by a bunch of half-drunk russians in a back alley workshop. Your engine is MPI if it has fuel injectors at multiple points along the intake path. MPI is just multi-point injection. It's not CMPI or EMPI, it's just MPI. Multi-Point Injection. Diesel engines going back over a hundred years have MPI on them; any diesel engine with more than one cylinder will have MPI regardless of its age by virtue of how diesel engines function. Even some TBI systems are also MPI; GM had a habit of putting 8 injectors on one throttle body for their V8s in the early 90s before they finally gave up on TBI entirely and put the injectors at the intake ports.

[@TestECull]

@GGALLIN1776 That's why I stick to carburetted rigs. Computers fucking suck.

@GGALLIN1776 Coulda swore GM dropped that shit like a bad habit when they switched over to OBD-II in 1996. No matter, those TBI systems are easy fixes when they act up. Just rip the throttle body off, yeet it into the nearest 'art' bin, and install a 2bbl carb + fuel pressure regulator.

[@ecaparts]

Great experiment, good job guys! Of course you really need to increase the 'ON' time of the injector during acceleration and reduce it during idle. Without any way to do that, the injector will always provide too much fuel at idle (rich) and way too lean at high RPMs. Keeping with a mechanical setup, you can improve this with a fuel pressure regulator with a vacuum port (this responds to engine vacuum to adjust pressure). At idle the throttle plate is mostly closed to give high manifold vacuum, this will connect to the fuel pressure regulator and responds by lowering the fuel pressure. Given the injector is pulsed the same amount, but with less fuel pressure, the result will help correct the rich condition during idle. During higher RPMs, of course the open throttle plate will reduce engine manifold vacuum to almost zero and the fuel pressure regulator will respond by increasing the fuel pressure. Again, assuming the injector pulse width is constant, by increasing the fuel pressure during acceleration will cause an increased fuel flow and help correct for a lean condition at this time...

[@MAsWorld1]

You need to modulate the “dwell” (the duration that the injector is open each time it fires). With a fixed dwell like you have, the fuel delivery is good only for a specific throttle opening. It’s not the size of the injector that matters, it’s the length of time it’s open, this is basically what the ecm controls depending on what the sensors tell it. Your simple method could work on a fixed rpm engine, like a lawnmower or generator. If you controlled the point gap relative to throttle position, it would probably work fairly well although still quite crudely.

The reason this is not working well it's because the injector pulse width (dwell) is typically controlled by the computer to accomplish this.

They're doing this backwards. The distributor is normally closed and opens on each lobe. That means at idle the injector is going to be mostly on. The distributor is turning the injector off for each lobe. As you rev the engine higher the distributor is spinning faster and turning the injector off more. Of course that would create rich at idle and lean when revving. They need to set it up so that the injector only turns on for each lobe of the distributor. An easy way to do that would be a relay that is normally closed and opens when getting power from the distributor. That way the faster you rev the engine the more the injector will be pulsed on.

The Chevy 283 CI had a window in the distributor cap so you could adjust the point gap (dwell) while the engine was running, that would have worked well for you! You sure have a great crew, thanks for all you do!

[@gabrielv.4358]

Thats cool

[@mrrambles852]

You could have a momentary switch that engages at half throttle triggering a second injector?

[@migueldelacruz4799]

It's hard to watch these guys work without thinking about all the silly stuff I wanna try.

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

Congratulations on creating a paradox! The engine needs fuel and air to run (generate RPMs)... The injector is hooked up where it only pulses ON (opens) every time the crank (well, cam) makes a full revolution. To increase the RPM, you need more air and fuel, on an upward trending angle... But the fuel rate can't increase until there's more RPMs... But the RPMs can't increase without more fuel... lol But seriously, I like the idea a lot, was interesting! (even though they are just trying to recreate a really crude "Throttle Body Injection" lol) I think where they went wrong is they should've used a DC drill motor and trigger as the "pulse generator" to keep it separate from the engine RPMs. Gas pedal is connected to the drill trigger, giving variable speeds. Of course, matching how much electric motor speed with engine RPM would be the real trick. Right now as it is on this vid, it's running too rich at low RPM, but then starts to lean out and can't make more power. (which he confirms) The reason you have to *go easy on the gas pedal" is because the air:fuel ratio (AFR) is way off and the engine has to catch up once there's more air... But then it leans out to much... etc etc paradox. If they still have access to the open internet, I suggest they lookup 1950s era fuel injection and how they went about tackling the AFR with only mechanical systems... If start by adapting the fueling system from a diesel Lada 🤔

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

That'll teach me to ramble before I scrolled through a few pages of the comments! lol TBI, mechanical fuel injection, rich-idle/lean-revved... All mentioned! We're a smart enough bunch, I should've known after 3days my thoughts would've already been conveyed! 😁

People in Canada: "I can't drive today, the gas prices are to high." People in R: "we will just do a quick, engine, MFI swap, RWD swap, modify the wheel base to make it shorter, add tank tracks, all a quick days work, no biggy."

Ford did that years ago fuel injector and throttle body. Single injector.

[@SoddingaboutSi]

Brilliant. Single point injection! Works increasable well considering there is no duty cycle modulation on the injector. Thanks G54!

[@hoganhogan952]

@@ccox7198 I would think the injector would lean out as it revs higher because of the lack of modulation. The faster the revs the shorter the pulse to the injector because it is just a points system.

[@cS-nf2dg]

The duty cycle come from the dwell time from the distributer used to trigger it.

[@SoddingaboutSi]

@@cS-nf2dg yes but it's fixed.

You could patent this as a conversion kit!

I've been asking for a pulse jet on a lightweight Lada for 3 years...............maybe this is this year.

[@lostoxicos24-78]

U can use a voltage regulator on the tps side and regulate how much the injegcor open also u can install a vaccum regulator to get u more fuel when in acceleration. As the volt regulator go up so does the psi. I say it might work.

[@jareknowak8712]

If You cant control the duration of single injection, You can still control the fuel pressure. Connect the gas pedal with the fuel pressure regulator - this will change the amount of fuel per one injection.

[@DrewLSsix]

You absolutely can control the duration of a single injector.... what makes you think you cant?

[@jareknowak8712]

@@DrewLSsix You can do it wit ECU. How to do it without any electronic?

[@rupe53]

@@jareknowak8712 .... redesign the dist so the vac advance changes the point gap with manifold vacuum. That way you can get longer and shorter duration for pulse width for changing load.

[@turkeyboyjh1]

The fpr needs the vacuum line connected to the manifolds

More of this, less shooting at Ukraine, please.

[@Reman1975]

From what I've read, Most of the civilian Russian population is as strongly against the invasion as the rest of the world. I think the only reason why most their military didn't just refused to carry out their orders is because it would be tantamount to signing your own death warrant over there.

[@fastinradfordable]

[@RolandWalper]

Interesting work! You should use a capacitor in the line to the (big) fuel injector and a resistor parallel to the coil of the injector. Then you have a clear timing for the fuel injection at every rpm. Just try it with some different capacitors, I think someone at your side will understand my idea. BR Roland

[@jareknowak8712]

This will make the duration of injection independent of the revs? Equal lenght for every rev range? Im not into electronics, but it sounds like speaker crossover :)

[@RolandWalper]

@@jareknowak8712 I think so, should be a way for an analog fuel injection, it is a project for trying...

[@soupflood]

That will work like a class A amplifier, only with a mechanical switch instead of a TRANSISTOR. The problem will be the injector minimum on-time, below which it will start to drip.

[@Tydusis1]

Just remembered this channel. Glad you are still uploading! Goofy car build antics is entertainment beyond borders and language

[@MsLoneWolf4]

Ah the recreation of the old TBI except the injector is behind the throttle body.

[@neilgillam9919]

Thanks guys. Another great experiment. Keep up the good work. . All our prayers and hopefully yours too for Ukraine. Keep safe guys.

[@Binge420]

It’s called throttle body injection it works because it’s already a thing 🤷‍♂️

[@Aleks_Mechanics]

notification squad, Have a nice weekend guys!🔥🔥🔥

[@ahumeniy]

Well certainly there are mechanic fuel inyection at least in diesel engines which don't need an ECU to work so it's totally possible

[@darthgbc363]

What if you had no timing for injectors? Just throttle position. Have a tiny injector for idle & another tiny injector for above idle. Just on or off. Maybe a third injector at full throttle.

[@stellawolfmann8353]

You guys are very entertaining and crazy as hell but i love it :)

[@paulkazjack]

Down with putin.

[@cwjsmit64]

This channel is awesome. Trying crazy shit that others wouldn't lol. Respect!

[@akio2589]

Should've had a staged setup with an additional 2-3 small injectors that would turn on at different throttle positions. Also, a referenced fuel pressure regulator would probably be useful. What you have currently is, in essence, a GM TBI setup. With the exception that the injector is behind the butterfly instead of in front of it.

[@dunhillsupramk3]

looks at title... hmmm it should work seeing that is "holley EFi" whole business set up i would say this should work...

[@amiltonfcjunior]

I like your content. You guys are awesome creating such interesting things. Keep doing it, because your knowledge and discoveries are worth to be spread worldwide.

I hope you guys take care and do not stop recording.

[@jessewildman1292]

This is simultaneously hilarious and absolutely genius. Most people will never understand how insanely knowledgeable and smart this guy is.

[@a4channoob]

using that distributor to control injector pulse will never work correctly. it will run rich at idle and lean at higher rpm because you are shortening the pulse width the faster the rpm is with that setup instead of enlarging it. it might be pulsing more rapidly but for shorter amount of time. just like the issue that it can leave the injector open when engine is off.

[@operator8014]

Fuel injectors take a bit of time to move from closed to open. At lower RPM, it is spending more time open than at higher RPM. Hence the low RPM flooding and high RPM leaning out.

[@jadesmith6823]

❤️😂

[@cliffcorbitt9494]

I've been a mechanic for a long time working on a lot of cars I never went to school for it but in my mind I'm thinking that an injector is holding back those PSIs while they have power going to them and the magnets holding the spring loaded ball valve take a lot of force when the explosion occurs as well. So yeah I'm sure it takes a little time for them to open and close even though it's milliseconds

[@AnalogDude_]

true, you need a micro controller with an algo that generates a PWM signal and a crank pos sensor.

[@kolteralberts]

I believe that the butterflies valve should be after the Fuel Injector. Assume that you guys do this stuff
