Water Instead Of Gasoline: Bosch Water Injection Innovation Can Reduce Fuel Consumption By Up To 13 Percent
Like many of the technologies introduced in recent years, the idea of water injection isn’t new. Water injection is emerging as a possibility today due to the convergence of fuel economy requirements, the increased accessibility of direct injection technology and the need for more enrichment due to the heating caused by downsizing with turbocharging.
Executive Interview With Ryan Kooiman, Director Of Training, Standard Motor Products

Directions: 20 Years: The Past, Present and Future of Underhood Service
Automotive historians will look back on 1995 as a watershed year for the automotive industry. By September, all 1996 models had to have the same OBDII diagnostic connector under the dash, speaking the same emissions language. Around the same time in Akron, OH, Babcox Media saw the times were changing for vehicle repairs and diagnostics.
PaceSetter Offers Direct-Fit Manifold Catalytic Converter For Mazda 6 S
PaceSetter Direct-Fit Manifold Converters utilize mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing for maximum efficiency and CNC-machined thick steel flanges for a factory-like fit and good seal, said the company. In addition, these Direct Fit Manifold Converters (#757465 &757466) have fittings for the O2 Sensor and A.I.R. Injection.
How Does The EGR And Secondary Air Injection Work With The Catalytic Converter?
The perfect internal combustion vehicle would be able to put the exact amount of fuel and air into the combustion chamber. If the perfect combustion event happened, you would get nothing more than water and carbon dioxide. There would not be any unburned fuel or oxygen. What would be needed to make this happen? Direct injection into the combustion chamber is a good start. You would also need the perfect combustion chamber free from hot spots – areas of unwanted turbulence or carbon build up. In the mean time, we have exhaust gas recirculation systems (EGR), secondary air injection and catalytic converters to reduce emissions

The perfect internal combustion vehicle would be able to put the exact amount of fuel and air into the combustion chamber. If the perfect combustion event happened, you would get nothing more than water and carbon dioxide. There would not be any unburned fuel or oxygen. It would also be at the right temperature so
Fuel Injection System: How Does it Know?
With the days of carburetors behind us, the electronic fuel injection system in the cars we drive today is king. While carburetors mixed the air and fuel together and the mixture was sucked into the cylinder and burned, modern electronically controlled fuel injection injects the right amount of fuel, at the right time for optimum fuel efficiency and economy, and driving performance. But the question remains, how does it know what that ‘right amount’ is and when’s the ‘right time’ to inject?

Directions: Turbocharging’s Not Just A Lot of Hot Air
In a recent study of U.S. consumers by Honeywell, more than half of those who plan to purchase a vehicle in the next two years believe fuel efficiency is more important than it was during their last vehicle purchase.
