The "Ive upgraded my injectors and I still have niggling issues" Thread

Righto - hopefully this will become of use to other ppl

So I put FIC1050's into my EvoIX (all stock except for exhaust).

1) I never remember seeing exhaust smoke when WOT'ing, no I do see a lot of smoke, like its too rich, LC1 is reading 11.5 (yes calibrated many many times)

2) RPM overrun + slight TPS jab = exhaust popping. I presume this is ****ing the cat/exhaust over so I want to fix it.

Now when I installed the injectors I did the following in terms of ECU work.
1) set the scaling (1083)
2) setting the latencies
--- by doing the above 2 my trims are basically perfect (+1% each)
3) Halved Startup Enrichment IPW Adder table
4) Retuned the AFR map, I should be no richer than 11.3 AFR

Now my question is do I need to modify any other maps for the overrun popping? Like an accelerator enrichment table??

Also when you guys are WOT'ing do you see exhaust smoke? Perhaps I just never noticed it b4!!!

Cheers
D.

Are you seriously running a 1083 scaling on 1050's?

On overrun when it pops are you in closed or open loop? What are the AFR's then?

Closed loop.

Looking at a log (which I think is of it happening) my AFR's are 14.7 before the TPS jab, 14 during the "jab" and then 17 immediatley after the jab and then 13 a bit after that.

For a popping to occur does it have to be richer? ie getting unburnt fuel?

You'll be in open loop on over-run - you can tell if you change the fuel map contents from 14.7 it will switch to whatever you have there on over-run and revert to 14.7 (no matter what the cell contects) when you go back into closed loop.

Depending on the position of your wideband and how fast it reacts, you could be missing or seeing a delayed lean spike on tip in so it might be an acceleration enrichment issue. On a Subaru where I could adjust the accel enrichment on an aftermarket ECU I found that a 17 would give a lean misfire, richer than a 10 during tip in and it would bog but not pop, but your mileage may vary.

If by a jab you mean you are then holding the throttle and it runs significantly leaner than stoich at any point during or after the increase in throttle then I think you're too lean.

Bez put up some tables before for this IIRC when we were talking about speed density - there is an asynchronous injection on tip in that can be adjusted.

It can get confusing with delayed sensor readings, misfires, unburnt fuel etc. I don't know if the accel enrichments are scaled on the main injector size or not. However, I usually find engines tend to be more tolerant of being rich than lean in terms of response to throttle transients.

This is what Bez sent me regarding Accell enrichment:

add this to your xml-I spend ~1.5 hours finding the exact adresses 4 your definition..

<table name="Asynch_Acell_Enrichment" category="Fuel" address="1254" type="2D" level="1" scaling="uint16">
<table name="X" type="Static Y Axis" elements="5">
<data>pause_period</data>
<data>min_TPSdelta</data>
<data>Max_pulsewidth</data>
<data>idle_TPSRange</data>
<data>after_engine_start_addition</data>
</table>
</table>

<table name="Asynch_VS_TPSDELTA" category="Fuel" address="32b6" type="2D" level="1" scaling="uint8">
<table name="X" type="Static Y Axis" elements="9">
<data>0</data>
<data>1</data>
<data>2</data>
<data>3</data>
<data>4</data>
<data>5</data>
<data>6</data>
<data>7</data>
<data>8</data>
</table>
</table>

<table name="Asynch_TPS(Rpm) Limit" category="Fuel" address="32c6" type="2D" level="1" scaling="WGDuty">
<table name="X" address="6c26" type="Y Axis" elements="10" scaling="RPM"/>
</table>

<table name="Asynch_Accel_vsRPM" category="Fuel" address="32e4" type="2D" level="1" scaling="uint8">
<table name="X" address="6c26" type="Y Axis" elements="10" scaling="RPM"/>
</table>


Heres mine examle of altering enrichment - left WAS -right - NOW (see .jpg)


Briefly
1 table
Pause period - TPS dynamics measurement cycle (shorter -faster) It measures TPS and copares it to OLD TPS value
min TPSDLTA - the minimum encrease of ADC value to recognise enrichment (TPS-OLDTPS) shoud be > TPSDELTA
Max Pulsewidth - total maxium enrichment pulsewidth
Idle tpsrange - the range withn wich the enrichment will work.
after engine start addition - the asynch PW constantly used within first ~5 seconds of engine started.

Asynch vs TPS - the amount of enrichment added for each point of tps difference.
Asynch_TPS(Rpm) Limit The TPS(RPM) above wich the enrichment will not be added
Asynch_Accel_vsRPM the general enrichment -Limits max total enrichment vs RPM - in newer ecu its an addition to some value)

these params exists on evo all ecus..The adressses could vary.
To log FPULSE2 (asynch injpulse) RAM:FFFF6D08 FPULSE2 i give U the ref 2 its adress 4 your ecu

yeah I was looking at that yesterday.

I did some logging last night of one of the ACCEL_TPS variables but nothing came out... Will do some more looking today.

Your tip in seems lean. I had problems with it popping when I was still sorting out enrichment values on the Pro. But I was tipping in in the 10's.

It went BANG, not pop.

Mine seems to like tip in, in the 12's for maybe a half second or less. Then trimming back up to 14.7, or if you roll in harder it falls to the desired AF ratio.

Tephra did you ever figure out what the problem was? Also, does anyone have more information on how to tune the Bez accell tables?

this is not an off topic thread right?
Because he feels that explains his situation?

Do you think this is a slang or derogatory term or something?

Seriously? You *****rd.

How are you logging the LC-1? If I were trying to diagnose a problem like this, I'd use LogWorks directly. I usually get a better picture (especially for transient misses) by watching what the LC-1 is dumping into its serial output.

It has to be rich enough that fuel is getting into the exhaust, but lean enough that you're not getting (complete?) combustion.
