The Safari ARMAX ECU is fully engineered to manage these injectors using advanced current-sensing technology and pulse-width modulation. This ensures smooth, reliable, and efficient engine operation under all conditions.

• Accurate injector timing for improved combustion efficiency.
• Smoother idle and reduced injector noise.
