ive tuned my car but this is one thing i cant seem to find an understandable answer too,

injector lag time vs battery voltage, ive noticed with my lights(or electrical drain) on im getting a richer AFR, i know why this is happening but i cant find out how to set the inj vs batt settings for my setup.

im using datalogit with LC1 and XD16 etc.

RB26 running tomei 600cc injectors 18 psi making 293kw N1 turbo's stock motor on 98

any help with settings for inj lag (ms) vs batV

current settings

16v 0.604

14v 0.772

12v 0.944

10v 1.132

8v 1.316

6v 1.396

inj settings 73.0 lag time 0.03

any help much appreciated

cheers

if battery voltage is the only variable causing it to run richer you can adjust the settings to suit.

your 12v figure is slighty different to the base map for rb26 but the rest are the same, they're for standard injectors tho, no aftermarket injectors are going to have exactly the same numbers as factory.

at what voltage does it run normal and what voltage make it go rich? and how rich?

Normally 13.2v and with highbeam on 13v

changes from 13.8Afr idle to 13.4afr or so and richer with more load.

I tried playing with the 12v setting and ur correct the rest are stock rb26 figures.

Sorry for the hijack, but can you explain why its happening? I thought it was like this; lower voltage -> higher latency -> less petrol through the injector for a given input -> leaner.

your on the right track,

there is a an adjustment for the injector lag time in milliseconds vs battery voltage, so at a higher voltage the injector will open and close faster and needs a lower lag time = less time open

at lower voltage it will open and close slower so it needs more open time,

i just need to know the correct way to set this up so at all different Voltage there is no affect on AFR's , mainly between 12v and 14v

unless you can get exact firgures from an injector test or similar the only way to set it up is with experimenting. altho .2v drop is bugger and 13v is smack bang in the middle of the 12v and 14v settings, so you might find youself having to adjust both of them to get it right.

if you want to rule out any chance of problems later you could adjust it all then pull off the alternator belt and check the afr's with a lower voltage and adjust to make sure you never get a lean out if your voltage drops lower than normal for whatever reason

    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.
