Hi!.Just came home after the dyno run, evaluating the
502mpi magnum Mercruiser
with procharger kit.We tested the engine first without the charger and the
air fuel ratio
at part load was not good because of the progressive rate fuel regulator
not gave the same fuel pressure
curve before boost as orginal .In the boat this results in sooted
sparkplugs, high part load fuel consumtion.
Mercruiser has used a modest 25degries advance at high rpm,that is maybe
why we can get away with
the 5psi boost without retracting the advance. At about 4700 the fuel
ratio
increased suddely to 11to 1
this is all the injectors could give at 11.8ms.(previous 10.6ms)This
resulted in a sudden
fall in HP output.With the procharger(sentrifugal compressor,intercooler)
the max hp was 575 hp. We started at max fuel pressure at boost at 4 bar.
We lowered the pressure in two steps 0.2 bar at the time and picked up more
hp
each time air fuel ratio was about 13.2 -1 at max hp.
We found out that to make this engine run right trou the powerband we have
to have access to the ignition
and fuelmaps of the ecm.We allso have to change the MAP sensor to a
2BAR.And alter the settings innside the ecu to work with the 2 bar sensor.
any information that can lead us to our target to adjust this engine to
suite our modification and fit
the colder climate in norway is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
