Nissan fuel injectors: How they work

Let’s take a brief look into how Nissan fuel injectors work. Generally speaking, fuel injectors are the substitutes for the old carburetor which we can still see in smaller motorized applications such as go karts or scooters. Injectors take the complexity of the air and fuel mixing carburetor into a simple component that fits in your hand. But the fuel injectors aren’t the ones responsible for actually performing the mix. The car’s ECU (electronic control unit) is in charge of controlling the injectors. It accomplishes this by assigning every injector an optimal mix of fuel and gas dependant on how open the throttle valve happens to be.

When this small device injects the fuel into the cylinder, the nozzle makes it shoot off like a sort of spray. It actually atomizes the mix so it can be fully ignited by the spark plug. This creates an extraordinary and harmonic explosion inside the engine's gas chamber. Furthermore, hardcore auto enthusiasts can decide to mess around with the ECU and manipulate the injector’s timing for speed booming purposes. Getting high quality injectors is a top priority for those interested in improving their car’s fuel delivery system for higher HP purposes.
