STS setups

[ZL1Killa]

I ordered me my STS kit, racetronix plug and play fuel system kit from thunderracing

2 bar map sensor
and at running 5lbs of boost will I max out the MAF?

also does anyone have knowledge of injector tuning?
the 60# motron injectors which i'm getting, does anyone know of them setting codes or anything like that? do you change the IFR and leave them alone?

1. If you're going to keep the maf (I would at 5psi), you don't need a 2 bar map...stock is fine.

2. 5psi will not max the maf.

3. Set the ifr for 60# Mototrons per the spreadsheeet listed on here.

4. Tune the car on a wideband/dyno and tweak the rpm vs PE for a stable 11.8:1 af ratio.

5. All your ltrims should be a negative number that is -14 or less...if not you'll need to do the auto VE tune or fudge the IFR's whichever you prefer...most prefer AutoVE.

6. Enjoy.

2. yes it will, easily, i got logs to prove it. go 2barSD and AutoVE slowly, deeper and deeper into boost areas.
3. use the spreadsheet, works great
5. do NOT tweak IFR for any other purpose but adjusting for new injectors/fuel pressure/fuel pressure regulator

watch what rpm boost comes on, and adjust your PE triggers accordingly. remember that in turbos torque/compression hits early(before 3000rpm), so the NA config is very dangerous for it, as in NA configs, peak torque happens past 4400rpm. log gently, adjust accordingly.

Interesting. I have logs with the maf set at 512g/s that's fine on the dyno until 550ish rwhp. Then it clips the maf and it's PE vs RPM only. 5psi sts set-up generally don't hit 500rwhp. I'm controlling 16.5psi and plus 700rwhp with a stock 1bar map and stock screened maf.

What rpm did your maf clip at 5psi?

What rwhp did your maf clip at 5psi?

Was the maf extended to 512g/s ?

TIA.

this is the best chart i have handy

look at the graph, this is what happns to a NA (1bar) computer, when you throw a basic 5psi STS kit on it. MAP flatlines. MAF flatlines. so everything that's based off these two is plain wrong at that point. considering that MAP ran out at like 3200rpm and MAF at 5200rpm, this is not a good setup to do any 'tuning' with as two important sensors are completely lying to you.http://http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e258/RedHardSupra/DanielsonSTS1.gif

Your maf flatlined since it's only set to 439g/s.....it should be extended to 512g/s which will get you around 67lbs of air....which will get you around 650 engine hp...which a base 5psi sts kit will not get unless it can break the laws of physics:)

1bar will always max over ambient pressure...103.7kpa hits at wot.

12000 hertz and 512g/s should get you there. If not, nothings better than a great sd tune.

Nice info redhardsupra.

it was configured to what i could figure out at the time (narrowbands and 1bar MAP). i wasn't gonna set MAF to arbitrary values just because it fits my purpose. besides, i think this was in SD, and MAF was just monitored, but ignored, look at dynamic airflow on the chart (i dont know why the table is out of sync), it's more telling of the real performance. considering that our cars make about 9-10hp per 1lb/min of airflow, that makes it a much happier HP number, and we still got over 1000rpm to go ;)
i've seen almost as high numbers on very nice NA setups, so i'm still not impressed with it peak wise, but powerband-wise, STS is awesome. if you wanna keep your stock gears, dont wanna shift too much, or just own an automatic with lazy spaced out gears, STS is really well fitting.

anyway, the point here is that any FI maxes out NA-oriented PCM. for MAF it will outflow the MAF, which you cannot calibrate correctly, because to first get a good handle on VE, you'd have to calibrate, which is not fully possible, because your calcuations are thrown off with a 1 bar MAP. you're screwed either way, so just bite the bullet and get the 2 bar MAP and put in custom OS.
if you got any good logs to share/dispute me, i'd be delighted to see them ;)

thanks for all the replies guys. Marcin, nice to hear from ya again.

also some people say go with an 85m maf to get a little more airflow values...or change the values as above... IDK, i got the 2 bar map sensor on order and it should be here this week. So i could keep it just in case... or sell it or whatever... we will see. Nick Williams is going to be doing the major tuning for me, i got a tune made now that is extreme safe.. just haven't changed the upper MAF values nor some other minor stuff, figured as long as i can drive it at highway speeds, no racing or nothing I will be fine

[ZL1Killa]

i also see in your log what your getting at Marcin..... that log you showed is showing 11260Hz and 439 G/s flow..... well you still got to get to 12kHz and 512 g/s. I do see what you are talking about and that it does happen and maxes out and sensors start lying.... hell i got my VE tuned in mostly so I could go OL and avoid all the BS with codes triggering for 02's and crap
