The key to performance in the '90s and beyond is information. Because of its compexifies, a more than rudimentary understanding of Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) will allow you to build a better ...

The subject of electronics in hot rodding rivals politics and religion as topics to be avoided in polite company. Mention computers to a reactionary hot rodder and he'll likely declare that silicon ...

The Komatsu hydrostatic drive uses a high-speed and low-speed motor. When lots of torque is needed, both drives work through the crankcase; but when the machine gets up to speed, a clutch removes the ...

STMicroelectronics has partnered with Arrow Electronics to offer a complete reference design electronic control unit (ECU) for electronic fuel injection (EFI). The SPC5-L9177A-K02 ECU Reference Design ...

Small internal combustion engines usually keep things simple, relying on carburetors to handle metering the correct amount of fuel and air. Recently, [Carlos Takeshita] decided his small engine could ...

ST Microelectronics developed a Small Engine EFI reference design and is teamed up with Arrow Electronics to supply these boards quickly to customers. See Figure 1. What is the advantage 1 of ...

Piston engines are undergoing significant modernization, incorporating advancements in design, efficiency, and fuel flexibility. Key technological integrations include FADEC (Full Authority Digital ...

Some of us have been there. Others never have. For those who have seen the inside, we realize it's a scary and confusing place. We slowly found our way around the "safer areas," then ventured further ...

Automobile engines have undergone tons of changes over the years, primarily to make them more efficient. For the most part though, engine changes result from a string of iterative improvements on ...

Fuel injection, it’s the wave of the future. Well, at least it was in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This was really the dark ages of fuel delivery in cars and trucks. Carburetors worked pretty well ...
