With regards to injection, it only works for multi-point injection.

Single point is still very much a 'smart' carb

Oh, and molecules don't get bigger............or increase their surface area.
Molecule size and surface areas is pretty well defined by science

It's the better mix that helps
No they don't , but the better you can spread the molecules, the bigger their surface area. That is why you atomize the fuel. The biggest surface you can get is if each petrol unit is separated and can combine freely with oxygen.

Like I said, it's the mix.

No obnoxious fuel molecules sticking together

Let me give you an analogy you should be able to understand.

Take a wooden log and try and light it.
Chop the wooden log finely into dust, and try and light is.
Swirl the dust and try and light it.

If you can increase the surface sufficiently, you can get steel to burn, and flour to explode.

So, as you can see, it is a prerequisite that the fuel is atomized, and then it certainly helps to introduce some mixing.



Feel better now?

Yes I do, you just explained what I said. If it doesn't stick together it burns more easy

Default Update

Hi everyone figures on the ZT were not good car is only putting out 256 BHP
Why is this? Simple the car only produced 230 BHP from its first run before all modifications done. Engine is running too rich at top end and air flow is being restricted to the air intake due to the modified air filter that still needs modified to generate direct air from the front grill of the bumper. Car is rebooked in next week, ECU is being removed and work on it continues. I have also pursed a new cold air intake box by BMC this will force direct cold air into the intake manifold. The reason the ECU is being removed we want to see if we can do some software up grades as information on this is limited.

Theres only one modification a 260 should have, and we all know what that is.

Anything else is just a waste!

I'd not be interfering with the ECU from our cars unless it was dreadnought doing it. No one has the proper info on them IMO. Save your money Aldo and get a blower

I agree, don't think there is much to gain in the ecu, save up and buy a blower!:-)
