Visit Preferences to set your user name Summary of change: '''Question''' There are a few pages in Wiki that describe fuel injector properties: * OnlineCourse/InjectorOpening * GenBoard/Manual/Config/InjectorOpening * [http://megasquirtavr.sourceforge.net/manual/Detailed.Output.Fuel.html#Config In the manual ] How would one go about to determine what the correct values are, for the most important parameters? *injopen *injocfuel My plan would be to get an engine already running with a Genboard where I have simply copied these values from other configs - so I manage to get the engine to start, run and idle reasonably well. Also, it depends on flyback besides injectors (but low voltage 2x0.7V flyback is standard anyway). Emil used simple lowvoltage 2x0.7V diode flyback for 1600cc (!!!!) injectors (cyl displacement=2250cc/4), and could get the engine idle OK (not perfectly though) with just guessing, without sophisticated measurements ? What would be a method to find these values, just by playing around with VE values and observing lambda and injector opening times? The absolute nice way is to * fire the injectors off-engine * at the normal operation fuel pressure (FPR applied) * at known freq with mst.. msp.. self-trigger * with forced pulsewidth (mdp.. ?) and measure the fuel flowrate (amount of flown fuel in known time) in function of pulsewidth. Suggested measurements: * 600..1200 usec in 200 usec steps * and upto 2400 usec in 400 usec steps, Document it in a table in wiki, and we'll help make config from it. Fire extinguishers at hand. No smoking, etc... ---- '''Status log''' *'''Mar 5th, 2005'''\\ Another BWM owner needs a Genboard install. Visit MembersPage/MattiasSandgren/PeppesBmw to check it out.

I have a computer geek background but mechanics always intrigued me - not only electronic gadgets. I have several cars but my two main projects are : * BMW E30 325iX (1989) MembersPage/MattiasSandgren/BmwEthirtyIx * Volvo 142DL (1972) MembersPage/MattiasSandgren/VolvoHundredFortyTwo The Volvo is long term, my focus is currently on the BMW. I plan to replace the Motronic ECU of the 325iX completely. ---- *WikiAdvert: mailto:mattias.sandgren@savarturbo.se [[!
