This is a general question..

Do the injectors squirt at a fixed angle on the crank rotation regardless of rpm.

I know that the 'on' time can vary depending on the amount of fuel needed, but wondering if they always on at a fixed point in the intake stroke?

If so anyone know what the angle may be?

Cheers

that is a very general question!i haven't got a clue but it wouldn't suprise me if the modern stuff alters the timing now to be ultra efficient with emissions etc.if they alter the angle air hits the turbo i'm sure a mili second here and there is programmed into the fuel cycle.doubt an early rover does tho...

early injetion used a fixed point in the cycle, when the sync pulse was recieved, usually tdc.
Moderen systems aim to inject fuel so the injector closes just before the intake valve closes.
Powerwise gain is very low when engine is up to temp.

Interesting question this one, I have seen CGI representations of fuel injection which fires the injector before the inlet valve opens, the timing of the injection is then dependent on maybe 2 things, the inlet valve opening point which is fixed on building the engine by crank degrees and cam inlet valve opening point BTDC.
Port velocity would i think increase with engine revs perhaps meaning that the injectors need to fire a little earlier. Injector duration would need to be set to complete before inlet valve opening or you might get stand off similar to what you get with high duration cams and carbs.

In old batch fire, the fuel acually sits arround the inlet valve until it opens.
My eu did this and it ran fine, using every 6th pip from the edis to squirt fuel. The real difference is when the engine is cold, and low rpm, more fuel enrichment is required, as it does not mix as well.

Most pre 95 cars were batch fire.

Sequential injection is only worthwhile at low engine speeds anyway, as the engine speed goes up the injection pulses get so long they all start to overlap and it's effectively non-sequential after that.

In terms of power, the injector timing isn't very important, it's mainly to help emissions and economy.

The reason for the basic question was to try and figure if an old CFI ECU could have an external box added to take the injector pulses out to fire 4 iinjectors.
The eleconics is rel simple to do the add on box would use an engine position sensor to switch each injecter in turn.
