[Diy_efi] forum and calculating sequential injection time

Tue May 17 21:19:58 UTC 2011

mmm, I wonder if the earlier injection time takes advantage of build up against the hot inlet valve
for some vapourisation... sounds interesting and yes big difference in CO - what about NOx though
and was that idle fully warmed up or was there a cold enrichment - even then CO is nicely low :-)

Whats the engine coolant temp, re thermostat or check on a datalogger.temp sensor ?

Have I missed something, what are you using to control the injectors and ignition timing, is it
one of those GM modules that can be hacked /reprogrammed or some Megasquirt type thingie, or other
custom, just curious and sorry if I missed something late night 5am here and too much red whine,
so I sleep well without being anxious about my heart rate's PWM or equivalent biochem control system <sigh>

tah

off to sleep, all the best, more info - any pics, a picture paints a 1000 words... so more pics more wurds, thanks

It needed a displayed (new LC-1) 12.8 to not bobble at idle, i was getting about 7% CO.  Making the injector event happen 50 degrees earlier than my guess, lowering ign timing 1 degree, and lowering injector pulse i got CO down to about .2%. Thats a pretty huge difference.  It now idles smooth at 14.7 like this.

I know on the dyno with a 5 gas analyzer is the correct way to do it but i dont have the $ for dyno time.  I need to get through emissions (adding a cat too for the tailpipe tests)

I tuned the -60 row with a gunson CO meter in the tailpipe (no cat currently) and got the sequential timing close from idle up to 3krpm.

>>Im thinking of making an excel based calculator to help figure out sequential timing (at least ballpark) but i cant find the calculations needed.  the above oocities link is missing intake pressure/vacuum as well as injector distance from the valve.  Can anyone on here point me to calculations, a book on this, or anything else helpful to figure out sequential injection timing?
