Injector constant ?
SInce ive began to burn my own chips and plowed thru couple hundred now on several SD cars, I've decided to junk my current bin and start over from scratch from basically a stock bin(modifications to PE, VE, etc tables from what ive learned in the past efforts so its not horridly out of whack at first).
My reasoning behind this is that i have ford svo inj #24's and my IC was set a 24.1 and i pulled huge numbers from the VE table to make a satisfactory 128 BLM (almost across the board). But i have had several nagging driveability issues , such as getting on and off the gas quickly or just giving it a little to accelerate in traffic, and then returing to idle. And of course i have that wonderful exhaust that likes to clip the sfc's when your on it :-)
That will be fixed t'row as well as the missing eng brackets.
So im starting over and working exactly one table at a time to see where i may have erred or even modified something backwards from what i should have.
The one question i have that is basically the reason im doing this , does the actual IC value have an impact on other parameters in the bin itself? I have tried to read thru the hac, but at this point in time the only way i can make sense of it is the snippets that i find here that have been explained and i can follow it along.. So im using a more correct inj constant and redoing all my homework, but can anyone shed me some lite as to what is directly affected by the IC even if your VE table is fairly close to a 128 across the board?
This wont be the first time ive backed up and started from scratch, and probably not my last.
thanks

Absolutely in my experience, if the IC isn't set to accurately reflect the injectors' actual flow rate I've seen variation in the BLMs that I couldn't otherwise account for. Same engine RPM, same MAP, same MAT and coolant temp, just idling, one time the BLM is 129 and next time it's 135.
