I aggree that there are a few posts in the making of a flaming...

But i do respect Dan and the work he does.

Maby you could pm dan or post in that topic for him to explain what he meant... As squizz did, I see why you both are asking your self how you can get 110% duty cycle, but i believe that i can see what dan is trying to say, and he has not used the best wording for it...

Thank you Col.

And yes I could have worded it better but choose not to edit my post due to the fact it seems to amuse small minded people who have more dollars than sense.

Dont people like that just f**k you of mate wankers

please feel free to enlighting us to how we get over 100% duty cycle.

I think I know what you were getting at (Increase fuel presure to increase flow), it just sound funny wording it as duty cycle.

Obviously you have never used a diagnostic tool before so I will explain.

When the scan tool does a calculation for duty cycle it measures rpm and injector timing then divides this value by 1200 to get a reading as a percentage.

For example. 6000 rpm with an injector time of 15ms will give you a duty cycle of around 75%.

Obvisously if you increase either rom or injector timing, the final value will also be higher, like 7000rpm with an injector time of 18ms will give out a reading of 105%.

Now just before you find amusement in that final figure I will explain this AGAIN. As I said to Col...I could have worded it better and taken the time to write out this massive message explaining myself to everyone about what I meant by 110%, but I thought...hmm hang on, maybe people who know me will understand where I'm coming from without me having to write out an essay.

I KNOW YOU CAN'T PHYSICALLY RUN AN INJECTOR AT 110% DUTY CYCLE...I'M NOT STUPID

However, you can run an injector at 100% and increase rail pressure to add more fuel meaning that a 260cc/min injector is well capable of over 280cc/min.

Thank you for wasting 10 minutes of my life....

Oh and next time you want to attempt to amuse people with your quick wit, or at least half of it, how about you quote me acurately as I NEVER said 110% duty cycle. I did, however, say that I ran my RB20 injectors at 110%. Think back to the post before that even...when I mentioned about pump flow.

so which is it?

bad to run your injectors at higher than 80%?

or ok so long as you have a shitload of fuel pressure behind it ie uprated pumps ect?

i remember being told a while back by a well known mechanic that theoreticly you shouldnt be running your injectors at their maximum performance figure

edit:- i understand that you CAN run them at 100% but is it safe and or wise to do so?

Theoretically, injectors should not exceed 90%. However, if the vehicle is set up with the right equipment and fuel system, it can run at 100% IDC as long as it has been tuned correctly.

There are some injectors that are literally restricted to about 60% IDC like some of the Gen II rotaries.

And, in fact....Honda run most of their cars at 100% IDC at WOT on redline, like the B16A Vtec for example.

For cars like Nissan Skyline/Sylvia/Pulsar, Toyota Supra/Soarer, Honda or any other good quality manufacturer, the injectors can happily run at 100% IDC as they are exactly that...good quality.

Don't expect your mums Excel or Lanos to be able to handle this kind of treatment lol.

The ECU loses all control of the fuel system once the injectors reach 100% IDC but as long as the car has been tuned on a dyno with an accurate A/F ratio meter, there is no reason why it cannot operate safely...provided that nothing else in the system fails. All it would take would be a blockage in the fuel filter to lean it out. So on one hand you can have no problems as long as everything is well maintained, or it can be devastating if one link in the chain breaks.

Does that answer your question?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
