Can someone please clarify the units used in the {B4001} for injector flow base?

How are the values derived that make up the row values in that table?

I also want to know if the E38.INJPDELTA_DMA pid is active and can be logged. Why are the values so large?

Howard,
We are on the same page, once again. Trying to adapt a E67 PCM/tune to run a LS7 with 40# stock LS7 injectors so same question-

OK, I'll guess that the units are MAP grams/second. The same as in B1210. Take a look at an LS1 file, table C2911. The units are the same and are defined. It seems they changed from MANVAC to MAP.

I guess when you look at that table and see the -Kpa values it doesn't make sense as when do you see -Kpa's? Is this boost pressure?

When they state "delta", are they referring to a "change" in MAP pressure?

Still not gettin' it!

Instead of referencing manvac such as the Gen-IIIs, these define fuel flow on the differential fuel pressure, which is what this table defines. On a 4 bar fuel system, 400kPa would be approx. WOT, 500kPa absolute vacuum. The question is, where does the ECM define what the static fuel pressure is? There's no fuel pressure sensor from the factory, is there?

Howard,
I don't get your first question.
question 2: I read the table as a change in MAP measured in gps. MAP and MANVAC(used in LS1 IFR table)are essentially opposites. When you look at a log they add up to around 100.
Am i understanding your question?

MAP can't be measured in gps. Two separate units entirely. gps can be calculated from MAP, RPM and a given VE definition, but otherwise the correlation doesn't exist.

Thanks Justin. That was a dumb error. It may actually be a help to my Guess if it's a change in kpa.
Try this. If the PCM is referencing 100 kpa, then at 640(big change)the injectors could be told to decrease flow(higher IFB value)and at 128(small change)told to increase flow(lower IFB value).

Any takers?

It really looks like it only references the 400-500kPa portion of the log file though. One of the tune files I pulled up had static numbers from 400kPa and below and static again from 480 and above.

It may be referencing the entire table but not changing the injector flow ouside those areas. Maybe they are getting ready for a blower? :grin:

In any case, what about Howard's question?

zr1 (the supercharged one) has a dual fuel pressure operation. this is apparently what they were getting ready for with an absolute pressure scale. way cool!

RHS,

Thats what I figured it was leading too. The FORDS use this kind of format but they have a pressure sensor to provide input to the PCM.

I guess for a NA situation, only half the table is utilized. Now the wonder is if we do a boosted application how can we get this info back into the PCM without a input sensor.

I also thought the LS9 was going to run with a E67 PCM....

Justin, have you logged that pid?

Redline Motorsports

So 400 KPA is know equivalent to 0 KPA and 500 is equal to 100 KPA or WOT....

I see that parameter where its either MAP or vacuum......maybe that allows the other half of the table to be active.

jfpilla
April 9th, 2008, 12:42 PM
Howard,
Good question to start this thread. Now we are all confused. :doh2:

MANVAC 0 kPa is 100% WOT. That's why the IFR values are lower at 0.

LOL!! I guess sitting on couch late at night after tuning you can't help but ponder in some of these evolutionary changes!

Seems like its like gauge pressure vs. absolute pressure.

The table goes from 128 to 640 KPA. This is obviously a value based off a absolute value. Question is how is this relative to gauge KPA that we see with the MAP sensor?

If that is absolute fuel rail pressure, then those numbers would be reversed like Joe said...

500 kPa would be at MAP = 0 kPa (full vacuum, MANVAC = 100 kPa)
400 kPa would be at MAP = 100 kPa (WOT, MANVAC = 0 kPa)

pressure difference across injector
= absolute rail pressure - MAP
= 500 kPa - 0 kPa = 500 kPa (the first case above)
= 500 kPa - 100 kPa = 400 kPa (the second case above)

i.e. the pressure regulator is set to 500 kPa absolute pressure which is simply 400 kPa gauge pressure.

(rememeber: 400 kPa is 58 psi)

redhardsupra
April 9th, 2008, 02:16 PM
i'm not sure what is there to be confused about: with 400kpa being NA WOT, anything bigger than 400 is vacuum, and anything smaller than 400 is boost.

IFR is a function of MANVAC (or MAP and BARO, whichever you prefer), that's why it makes sense that the IFR table uses absolute pressure as the indepdent variable.

dc_justin
April 9th, 2008, 02:21 PM
The next question is, where is 400kPa (gauge, 500kPa absolute) defined as the system's fuel pressure?

Edit: It's not. This things apparently have a fuel rail pressure sensor from the factory that explicitly tells the PCM what pressure it's getting.

if they're measuring fuel pressure, wouldnt there be a part number for some sort of sensor? do we have any gm dealers onboard to check it out? the big question is do they measure it, or just regulate it and hope it behaves as intended?

Redline Motorsports

Well its in the 07-08 ZO6 files and my whole point was if we are modifying this table, it only really needs to be adjusted from the halfway point as half the table is out the range of the NA ZO6....

jfpilla

Howard,
It would seem so. You know I calculated the IFR for the stock LS7 injectors for my 2003 vette. I doubt if it's a coincidence that the calculated values fit neatly into the 400 to 480 range. The only areas where the numbers change.

So Joe, based upon that, we are only using 6-7 locations of the IFR table when making an injector change. What is all the other resolution for?

Even it is used for a supercharger.

I'd have to assume that the Gen-IV cars are the same as the trucks... which have a Fuel pressure sensor from the factory. Check the PID SAE.FRP. That table allows the PCM to maintain stable fueling in a wide variety of conditions, including undesirable ones such as a faulty fuel pump or regulator. Very cool stuff.

No clue Howard and the values in B1210 follow the same pattern.
B1206 might be a reason for limiting IFB values, but I don't see anything that explains the outlying values.
While looking I noticed B4001 and B1210 are labeled MAP, but "injector parameters" offers a choice of MAP or VAC. My file has VAC selected.

so from what I get delta map psi is fuel pressure vs what injectors flow over fuel pressure change
I have a 2010 6.0 suburban motor 6.0 with l92 heads we make them 408strokes they have changed injectors 3 times from 07 to 2010 the 2010s from what i get here have around 55 lbs injectors.
I engine dyno test them befor they leave with a e38 sd tune I made to make sure every things ok I put the first 2010 on and its like 10 to 1 afr I get looking at b4001 it has 55 lbs injectors going off what it seems here I been trying to figure out how that table works for some time (posted while back )seems funny tune says its not flex fuel with that size injectors its over kill for stock great for me.Hear is stock tune

deltaMAP = pressure difference across injector = absolute rail pressure - MAP

note: absolute rail pressure = 500kPa absolute = 400kPa gauge (58psi gauge)

e.g.
deltaMAP=400kPa --> at WOT with NA
deltaMAP=440kPa --> cruise with OEM cam (40kPa vacuum)
deltaMAP=460kPa --> idle with OEM cam (60kPa vacuum)
deltaMAP=500kPa --> theoretical full vacuum (100kPa vacuum)

deltaMAP<400kPa --> boost (MAP > 100kPa)

joecar

...Almost, not quite...

Stock FPR is set constant to 58 psi (i.e. unreferenced returnless system), fuel pressure should not change... but pressure difference across injector changes as MAP changes...

flowrate is proportional to squareroot of pressure difference across injector,

so ECM has to account for changes in pressure difference across injector due to changes in MAP.

deltaMAP = pressure difference across injector = absolute rail pressure - MAP

e.g.
What happens to pressure difference across injector when MAP is:
40kPa...?
80kPa...?
100kPa (WOT)...?
(absolute rail pressure is 500kPa)

joecar
May 2nd, 2010, 08:51 AM
If you have a manifold-referenced FPR (i.e. with return line), then, the FPR will vary rail pressure (as MAP varies) to always keep pressure difference across injector constant...

in this case, the injector flow rate will be the same value regardless of MAP, and table B4001 will be flat static (same value all cells).

May 2nd, 2010, 01:52 PM
deltaMAP = pressure difference across injector = absolute rail pressure - MAP
ok I see what you are saying maybe lol It takes Into the fact that say 60 kpa its sucking on the injectors harder so they flow more. so if it uses 400 delta map psi as a rail pressure (58lbs )looks like the number to figure injector size thats in the motor.

I understand as vac.goes up the injectors will flow more.Its like a map pressure differance vs injector flow (how it changes injector flow)

but little confusing 400 kpa is 58 lbs. the fuel pressure is 58 lbs but it doesnt change its almost like its a fuel rail pressure table for the injectors

So if I get it 400 kpa is wot injector flow for say 100 kps map and say 460 kps would be high vac. so injectors will flow more say around 4lbs on this tune.
If it had boost then delta map would go down and injectors will flow less say under 400kpa like 350 kpa because you have boost pushing on injectors

ok hope my slopy typing hasnt killed you lol better with wrenchs thanks

joecar
May 3rd, 2010, 02:27 AM
Yes, correct, for an un-referenced FPR, injectors flow more when MAP is less than BARO (100 kPa at sea level), i.e. when vacuum is present.

Yes, injector flow vs injector pressure difference

injector pressure difference = absolute pressure at top - absolute pressure at bottom

The conversion is: 100 kPa == 14.5 psi == 1 bar

so 400 kPa == 58 psi == 4 bar: This is what you will measure with a gauge at the fuel rail.

Also note: 400 kPa gauge pressure == 500 kPa absolute pressure
(i.e. absolute pressure = gauge pressure + baro )

Yes, 460 kPa is 60 kPa vacuum, so injectors flow more.
Yes, 350 kPa is 50 kPa boost, so injectors flow less.

lol, I'm still here :)

460 kPa = 500 kPa - MAP --> so MAP = 40 kPa (i.e. vacuum is 60 kPa)

350 kPa = 500 kPa - MAP --> so MAP = 150 kPa (i.e. boost is 50 kPa)

joecar
May 3rd, 2010, 01:11 PM

absolute rail pressure = gauge rail pressure + BARO

MANVAC = BARO - MAP

DeltaMAP = absolute rail pressure - MAP = gauge rail pressure + MANVAC


gauge rail pressure is typically 400kPa (58psi).

I know this is an old thread, but does this mean we only have to scale IFR to 500 (flat line 63.5 beyond) which with large injectors will provide more low level granularity for certain scaled tables like timing.

I know this is an old thread, but

Here are some results of testing Holden's fitted with the E38 (all at altitude KOEO 84-85 kpa)

If the car is not fitted with an FSCM, INJPDELTA will not record below 400 KPA (irrespective if NA or boosted)
If the car is fitted with an FSCM but switched off in the ECM, INJPDELTA will not record below 400 KPA (irrespective if NA or boosted)
If the car is fitted with an FSCM and is enabled, INJPDELTA will record less than 400 when boosted. The INJ PW also increases compared to FSCM switched off. (INJPDELTA now less than 400)
When in boost, INJPDELTA does not follow the calculation posted earlier. (still trying to understand why)

It makes some sense when you compare the injector flow base of non FSCM and FSCM equipped cars
