Electronic fuel injection (EFI)

July 30th, 2010 by CJ Samson | Posted under Automobiles, Mechanical Seminar Topics.

Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) is a substitute for the conventional metering system which mixes the air and fuel in the correct ratio before feeding it down to the main cylinder to power the vehicle.

Usually in a bike a carburetor is responsible for carrying out this task. But, the downside of using a carburetor is that it has fixed settings and it has certain limitations. To overcome this negative aspect of a new system has been introduced. However, for this brand new system to work, it needs data from several sensors. These sensors include an engine speed sensor, temperature sensor, voltage sensor, throttle position sensor, oxygen sensor and an air flow sensor. The data collected from the various sensors are send to the Electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU makes use of the data provided from the sensors to determine the spark advance, the length of spark and other parameters. Then the exact air fuel mixture for that particular instant is fed into the cylinder which in turn delivers optimum power and clean exhaust. All this process is done continuously and happens many times in every second.

A cross section of a fuel injector is shown below:

Electronic fuel injection

Typical EFI components:

1)     Injectors

2)     Electronic control module (ECU)

3)     Fuel pressure regulator

4)     Fuel pump

5)     Wiring harness

6)     Sensors

Advantage:

1)        Although the electronic fuel injection is much more complicated than a carburetor, it is much more efficient.

2)     Fault finding is easy with the right tools

Disadvantage:

1)     Higher cost than carburetor.

    yeah my dad will like this

  11. Debt Consolidation says:

    Sorry for my bad english. Thank you so much for your good post. Your post helped me in my college assignment, If you can provide me more details please email me.

  12. vignesh says:

    this efi good for final year project? i want its cost for doing this is my final year project. please reply me and guide me. thank you.

  13. srajan dwivedi says:

    only because of its cost we can’t ignore its qualities as compared to carburetor. and till the date its one of my favourite project and surely i will make work on it

    thanks for this help

  14. Sridhar says:

    Give me more sketch

  15. rimshad says:

    pls send me the details of this project.also give the clear diagrammatic explanation.

    I want to change carberator to EFI in my bike.what i want to do. . . Pls send full detail and workings &block diagrams etc. . .

  17. mahantesh says:

    Thanku and so i need the information about the EFI including all requirement plzz….!

  18. rahul says:

    it is so good for my final year project…plz give me some more details..

  19. harish says:

    It’s good and enhancing my knowledge more..

    Great and very interesting post.. Excellent for my final year project, please give more details sir..
    Thank you so much..

  21. libin mathew says:

    plz snt ful info.abt EFI. b’coz am doing tis as my project.plz help me th pics nd working

  22. Chaponda kalunga says:

    vry interesting project. bt hw much wud ths kind of project cost.

  23. Arpit says:

    I have a project for final year of mechanical engineering students.
    Interested may contact.
    The title of project is “Gear cutting Attachment on Lathe”.
    Its a special Fixture which when attached on a lathe m/c can be used to cut profiles of gear.
    Thus we do not need milling machine for that.
    This is locate in PUNE.
    Contact 9021658656

  24. sugumaran says:

    its so good but i need more information about this

  25. mohandas says:

    i would like to do a project on efi in two wheelers…will u pls send me the cost estimation of this project and will it be more efficient then using carburator.

  26. Akash Sinha says:

    sir, i have selected this as my final year project title.it is my request from you to please send me the necessary details regarding this.
