Everything You Need to Know About the Throttle Body Injection Kit

What is a Throttle Body Injection Kit? A Throttle Body Injection Kit is a modern fuel injection system which is designed to inject the fuel directly into the body of the Throttle. There might be a single or two injectors depending on the type of Injection Kit used. It is designed in such a way that makes the use of fuel supply floats redundant, due to the direct injection of the fuel into the throttle system. Therefore, they provide a method for more precise and direct fuel injection and improve the fuel economy.

What are the parts? A Throttle Body Injection Kit is composed of two major parts:

1. The main throttle bodies

2. The fuel supplies The fuel supply system provides the source of the fuel to be injected and acts as the standard supply source. The main throttle body performs numerous important functions. Primarily, it consists of a valve which acts as a source of control for the air flow. It also contains numerous ports which acts as the relay center for the other various components of the system, such as the emission control system and the sensor for pressure in the system. Overall, the Throttle Body acts as the control center for the entire injection system.
   

How does the Throttle Body Injection Kit work? With the help of an electronic fuel pump, the delivery of fuel to throttle body injection system has been made. And throttle waves are used to deliver air to the engine. To match with engine’s fuel requirement, the electronic fuel pump is used to supply the appropriate volume of fuel pressure.

Advantages of the System The Throttle Body Injection Kit offers numerous advantages which have made its use very popular in the present day.

1. Economical: This system is much cheaper than the other conventional fuel injection systems in use currently. This help in lowering costs for the use and maintenance of the injection system.

2. The Maintenance of this type of system is much easier. It is easier to service the system as it is composed of just two main components, thereby lesser components to change in case of damage.

3. Production cost: The overall cost of production is lesser than other conventional injection systems. This helps in reducing the selling price as well as increasing the margins of profit for the manufacturer.

4. Easier to detect defects: The simpler design enables any damage to be easily detected and rectified, which make their maintenance much easier.

5. Improvement in fuel metering: the system significantly improved fuel metering over normal carburetors.

6. It is a traditionally smarter system as it takes inputs from various sources such as fuel injection and engine performance. This helps in improving the performance of the engine and the ignition system and improves the car performance in general.

7. Due to the control of the amount of fuel Injected based on the requirements of the engine, this system also lowers pollution by ensuring fuel use optimization and lowering emissions.

8. They do not have problems in colder climates as seen in traditional carburetors of earlier days. They are in general safer and more reliable.

How to get the most out of the System? Like all other car parts, certain driving methods improve the performance of, as well as increase the durability of the system. The first step in getting the most out of a Throttle Body Injection Kit is to ensure that only higher-grade fuel is used for the car. Unleaded fuels are preferred, as leaded fuels can leave deposits in the injection system and impair performance. The second important step is to keep up a Continuous maintenance schedule for the injection system. Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure that all components are in prime condition and working perfectly to produce maximum output.
