BOOST!
Ok, so since I’m married, with two kids, and getting older and fatter and balder all the time. The only thing I have to do on a Friday night is disassemble one of my old injectors. I wanted to see for myself what exactly goes on inside of one of these things so I dove in for a look.
With the thing apart, I spent some time blowing through all the holes, and shining a led flashlight through others to see how it works. The attached pic is my best understanding of how some fuel gets into the cylinder, and some gets returned. (After clicking the thumb-nail, be sure to click the pic enlarge button so you can see and read the whole thing.)
So I thought I would start this thread to see if I got the ‘how it works’ part right, and open the discussion on different code injectors, and which would flow more fuel.
Based on the picture below, wouldn’t it suggest that the later style injectors with higher pop-off pressures, would flow more fuel? It would seem to me that a heavier spring would cause more fuel to go into the motor, and less to be returned. :Sly
What do you guys think?
