Can I Have Power and Economy with Rob Sabbadin | Fuel Injection

Power and economy is achievable.

 

You only use the amount of fuel for the amount of power you are actually using in the vehicle.  For instance, if a car is capable of 300kW, at the 300kW mark, you are using 300kW worth of fuel, which would be a fairly thirsty car.

 

This is all dictated by the amount of acceleration that you give the car.  If you're only using 70kW of that 300kW the car is most likely to be economical, by we are meaning that the accelerator  wouldn't be depressed all the way to the floor on every day driving.  Meaning that the computer would be going into different load cells and RPM's, where fuel efficiency would be greater.

 

The 2 main factors giving good fuel economy are ignition timing and air fuel ratios.  90% of your driving time is spent cruising and idling.  So, 60, 80 and 100 kilometre load cells are the most important part of your tune.

 

These load cells must have correct ignition timing and air fuel ratios to determine good fuel economy.
