An Alternative To The Fuel Injection Enhancer, The EFIE.

Here is some additional information for an alternative to the EFIE, not to say that the EFIE doesn’t work really well. But there are some other alternatives which it wouldn’t hurt to view and I will bring you some of them in the next few days. This will be the first alternative.

A recent addition called the MAP Enhancer seemed to work much better than the EFIE. The caveat here is that this device is much more of an experimental devices than the EFIE. Much of the following information comes from a recent email from Ozzie Freedom, webmaster at Water4Gas.Com. If you sign up for his sterling 7 part email course on the inner workings of the water4gas technology you will receive much more information than what I am presenting here. Of necessity my presentation will be abbreviated since it is excerpted from his email.

Ozzie goes on to say that although the device is experimental it has worked well on many vehicles including his own. He says while driving at 55MPH, he has been able to dial the MPG gauge up by as much as 77% just be turning one knob down. He goes on to say that his latest MPG tests have averaged 59% and by that I guess that he means that he has increased his MPG by that figure. Pretty darn exciting if you ask me.

How Does The MAP Sensor Work?

This gets a little technical but it is important. We need some alternatives to the EFIE although I purchased one and will add it to my Mazda Truck as soon as I complete a brown gas babbler and all the rest. Anyway, here is the technical stuff from Ozzie.

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor signal is electrically used in a similar way as the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor signal although internally it is build differently. The MAP takes a 5 volt signal from the cars onboard computer and returns a lower direct current signal in accordance to the amount of vacuum in the engine. A higher output voltage means lower engine vacuum, which is then calculated as “more fuel is needed.” Lower output signal indicates higher engine vacuum, which requires less fuel. There are other areas that the MAP sensor reports on but that is enough for us to understand what is going on.

The MAP Sensor Enhancer is a simple device with resistors. A resistor is a small bit iof carbon that somewhat blocks electrical current. A higher value means it resists higher volts. The potentiometer is a resistor which can vary its value bu turning a knob. (PLEASE STAY WITH ME WE ARE ABOUT THROUGH WITH ALL THIS TECHNICAL STUFF) The MAP probably sits on your firewall and communicates its findings to the onboard computer which then makes certain adjustments to air/fuel ratio-and many other ratios to keep the car running. The MAP Enhancer weakens the MAP signal so that it can manage the air/fuel ratio beyond the limits preset by the factory. The factory set usually at the one limit os leanness at 14.7 to 1, meaning 14.7 parts of air to 1 part of fuel. Ozzie says that he can weaken the signal so the air/fuel ratio limits might be set now at 20.0 to 1 or even leaner as long as the weakening doesn’t stop the engine. Too much weakening can kill the engine so that the car stops.

You see the difference between the two devices. One works on an extremely narrow ratio (the O2 Sensor) while tha other works with the manifold absolute pressure. Two different ways to get to the goal of leaning the air/fuel ratios of the engine safely.

If you haven’t yet purchased your manuals from Ozzie’s website you ought to do so. Any way that you can save money from the high cost of gas should be your immediate prioirity. Click Here
