FT Injector Fuel Injectors and Peak & Hold Drivers

The Importance of Fuel Injectors

Fuel injectors play a pivotal role in the operation of modern internal combustion engines. Unlike carburetors, which mix air and fuel externally before introducing the mixture into the engine, fuel injectors deliver precisely metered amounts of fuel directly into the combustion chambers. This method offers superior control over the air-fuel ratio, resulting in more efficient combustion and optimized engine performance.

High vs. Low Impedance Fuel Injectors

There are two main types of fuel injectors based on impedance: high impedance and low impedance. To understand high vs. low impedance, it is important to understand what impedance is. Impedance refers to the opposition to the flow of electrical current or the resistance to electrical current, which is measured in ohms.

High Impedance Injectors: High impedance injectors have a higher resistance to electrical current, typically ranging from 7 to 16 ohms. They are typically limited by flow size compared to high impedance injectors, but more efficient in terms of power consumption and generate less heat. High impedance injectors are commonly found in standard production vehicles and are also referred to as saturated injectors. They are operated through the application of a steady current that is toggled on and off to open and close the flow of fuel. High impedance injectors are typically less expensive, are simple to use, and are known for their reliability.

Low Impedance Injectors: In contrast, low impedance injectors have a lower resistance to current flow, typically around 1-5 ohms. Low impedance injectors are commonly used in high-performance applications where much larger volumes of flow are required. Low impedance injectors are also referred to as peak and hold injectors as they operate through the application of a stronger peak current to quickly open the injector before switching to a weaker hold current that keeps the injector open for the specified amount of time.

FuelTech Peak & Hold Driver

Complementing the FT Injector line of low impedance fuel injectors are FuelTech's Peak & Hold Drivers, sophisticated electronic modules designed to enhance injector performance and compatibility. The Peak & Hold Driver serves as an intermediary between the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU) and the injectors, optimizing electrical signals for precise and reliable operation.

By providing tailored voltage regulation and current control, the Peak & Hold Driver ensures that injectors operate at their optimal efficiency throughout the entire engine RPM range. This translates to improved throttle response, smoother idling, and consistent performance under varying load conditions.

Moreover, FuelTech's Peak & Hold Driver is engineered with versatility in mind, offering compatibility with a wide range of injector types and ECU configurations. Whether you're upgrading an existing fuel system or building a high-performance engine from the ground up, this advanced electronic module delivers the flexibility and performance you demand.
