high rev prom tune

The equations for maximum injector size is well known and most people rough in the injector constant for decent BLMs. What happens when it works out for the case of getting the constant for WOT right, but then the idle base pulse width (BPW) is very low? I was thinking turn down the constant and mess up the flow in the tables. What is too low of a pulse width for an injector anyway? Maybe 1 ms or so? High revving engines seem to have this problem.
Thanks,
J

This actually has nothing to do with the constant. If you change the constant then the computer will adjust for idle. Because the engine requires a certain amount of fuel the actual flow rate determines the pulse length. If you change any one variable while calculating that number the ECM will change the BLM to compensate.

In a sat inj 1 ms is too low. I start worrying about 1.8-1.9ms but then again I have no real data on when the injectors I am running become unstable at the pressure I am running at. I also have no intentions of testing that boundary.

I think that you see this alot in batch fire engines that fire the injectors every rev. I intend to write some code that will compare the PW to a minimum PW. If the PW is smaller than the minimum then the ECM will store that time and inject no fuel. On the next rev it will add the stored time to the new time. This will allow for the correct amount of fuel for the cycle but allow for larger injectors without injector instability.

True. What I was talking about is when BLM block 0 contains a value of 160 and the other BLM blocks are around 140.

I agree. Yeah, I see it on batch fire TPI.

Why not store a variable injector constant (varies with BLM cell......probably would one need two values)

I wonder how this is going to come out. This text looks pretty messed up in this edit box!

Thanks,
