does anyone know anything about setting up injector lag, beyond just inputing the numbers from the manufacturer?

i've been mapping the car but having problems getting a good idle and mpg and the problem seems to be injector lag. i get the car setup ok, it drives ok, afr at idle 14.7 within a few points with no o2 sensor feedback. if i increase the lag a half point eg 0.18ms to 0.24ms my afr's go rich, remap the car and the car drives and idles better. i'm up to +0.28ms so far with the manufacturer saying it should be +0.19ms and the car is a lot better.

does anyone know what the professionals do to setup injector lag?

i'm thinking what's happening is the injector is being opened too late by the ecu because the setting is too low, thus spraying the back of the valve as it closes. this pool at the back of the valve doesn't burn on this ignition nor on the next, it's just wasted fuel (bad economy). the wideband doesn't pick this up because it cant sense unburnt fuel, spray the sensor with petrol and it doesn't read rich. so, the lag is made greater and the injector fires earlier, this time it gets more atomised fuel ito the chamber for the combustion and my afr's go up, readjust the injector duty and the whole thing is timed a lot better so the car runs better.

does this sound ok?

i'm wondering if this should be repeated until the lag adjustment causes it to go leaner rather than richer. seems logical to me.

any input would be greatfully accepted, unless it's lies

sorry for thre lack on info...

RB25DET - nismo 555cc injectors - power fc

current setting are 50% correction and +0.40ms latency!!! has never idled so well and runs around 15 AFR on light load and drops nicely as it moves lower on the map...

oh and on idle its slightly rich..around 14.2

i know what it should be..thats not hard to find...

i am thinking that maybe the nismo 555s are not 555cc?!?!?!? i have found reports of this is a few places around the world... dont really feel like pulling them all out to get tested but i might have too...

i think this is the begining of finding something with my car that has never been quite right...

have you tried it with those settings? if you bought nismo 555s theres no way they'd be flowing over 700cc (which would need the 50% correction)

the fact that you've had to add so much latency correction over the recommended settings means your size correction is too low. more positive latency correction adds more fuel, which makes up for your size correction being 16% too low

how does more injector latency change the amount of fuel they flow??? i thought latency changes the time the injectors fire in relation to the CAS signal and also spark timing???

if the injectors fire too late then there could be fuel atomising on the back of the valves as they close and waste fuel.

with the normal settings for the nismo 555s i can always smell fuel a little around the car..particularly on idle.

however with the new settings i smell less fuel...

latency is the time it takes for the injector to open and start squirting fuel. the higher the latency the more time the injector has to be pulsed with no fuel flowing (while its opening and closing). so therefore if your telling the ecu it takes ages to open and close it'll pulse for longer to inject the same amount of fuel

every time i have tuned a car the injector settings have been no where near where the internet people tell me it should be.

The sooner you start using your own head and start working it out yourself instead of worrying what people say on here the quicker you will get the problem solved and you will learn how to tune cars alot faster.

I like to keep the injectors as close to 100% as possible. I don't care what injector it is. after you do 10 or 20 of them you start to see a trend in what works and what does'nt

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
