"For sequential injection, most common method, is to time the injector
to CLOSE with the closing of the intake valve."
No, the most common method, among OEMS, is to inject while the valve
is closed. The onion analogy mentioned in a later post is a good one
once you get fuel into the chamber, but injecting onto a hot inlet
valve vaporizes a majority(not all) of the fuel before it gets into
the chamber. Also, some fuel which has piled up on the valve without
vaporizing gets sheared as it is dragged past the valve and seat,
reducing droplet size significantly. As good as injectors have become,
they still inject droplets, not vapor. Injecting past an open valve
will introduce these droplets into the chamber untouched, which, as
the onion analogy correctly describes, take longer to burn.
Furthermore, there is risk of washing the oil coating off of the
chamber walls during open valve injection, which puts engine durability(rings, pistons, bore finish) at risk.
"correct me if I'm wrong. when you go from hi vac to WOT, the only air
to enter the cylinders is previously measured air between the
throttle and the MAF and air passing through the MAF. So the only
error would be in not measuring that volume between T-body and MAF.
Unless the distance is large I don't see it as a problem."
You are correct, except that the volume between the throttle body and
the MAF is usually large enough to be a problem. Usually, that is.
Some applications are better then others when it comes to this
phenomenon.
