been working on a project the last few days. in short, its a device that allows the injectors to stay open longer. i made a video about it and id like everybody to watch it because i think its easier to explain that way.

the project isnt finished. what you see in the video is the heart of the project, all strung out on the breadboard. there is still much id like to do but i'd like to see how many people are interested

suggestions and questions are welcomed :)

looks interesting, i think this is very similar to how the emanage interacts with the injectors, but you knocked it up yourself for a fraction of the cost, which is cool. should need 6 of them hey? or were you thinking of tieing the injectors in together and batch firing them?

just a thought, i think it would be better if you could trim/shorten the pulse as well. the stock ecu goes rich under load so more fuel isn't the issue. with an aftermarket turbo you may need more fuel, but you would also need a way to clamp the AFM voltage so as not to hit airflow cut.

batch fire. as far as i know, this is how a stock ecu fires the injectors.

i agree. being able to shorten the pulse width would be more effective and is certainly something to look into. this way, its less likely for the user to run their engine lean, but i will see what i can do for you :)

i plan on having the circuit turn on through a series of user adjustable gates (adding more potentiometers). more gates may be added to provide a series of smaller 'step ups' in the injector pulse

please tell more more about this air flow cut. where can i find more info on it? does it mean that the afm can only measure so much air before it is overwhelmed?

ive made it possible to shorten the pulse width now. and ive improved the smoothness of pulse width changes so that the pulses dont leap up in steps. now they have a constant, gradual change

is there anything else i should do to the circuit?

looks cool mate.

so your device would modify the pulse width a certain amount over the stock pulse width?

i.e. your device doesnt simply control pulse width based on the airflow, it would still be taking into account teperatures, load, etc. because its base line is coming from the computers pulse width?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
