Good morning, gents, 

I recently bought and installed the Bosch EV14 1000cc injectors from NZEFI and it included a paper with injector data for tuning, but the nearest tuner is nearly three hours away, and I just need the car to drive normally until I can make time for the trip. I will attach the picture. I have ap Power FC and was wondering if it was possible to input any data through the FC controller to improve its performance, for the time being. DDD0F5C0-7221-4B28-AC58-E1A87FF96504.thumb.jpeg.85b1dd3d1a1afb96fe7a816397418674.jpeg

What injectors did you have before you installed the EV14's?

I had the Nismo 555cc injectors. The injector data on my PFC showed 82% at 0.06ms.

Before you start changing anything, do you have a wideband o2 gauge installed? 

Are you just trying to safely limp the car to the tuner or are you planning to drive the car around normally and eventually take the car to the tuner?

I don’t have a wideband. 
I intend on driving it normally until I get it to the tuner in a few days. As of now, it idles fine and cruises fine. I just don’t want to risk breaking anything.

This, while disappointing isn't entirely inaccurate.

There's only so accurate you can get when you have larger injectors and a certain 'step' you have to use to drive them. The minimum adjustment the powerFC can make results in it being too rich on one setting, and too lean on the other.

Newer ECU's allow for finer 'steps' which means these can be dialled in more.

That said, you'd think the tuner would at least be able to get it running with the whole '1 step too rich' being the norm. Especially after a 3 hour drive..

I took my car to a tuner today and he said the injectors are too big for the PowerFC to handle. Told me to get a better ECU. 

Complete bullshit, power fc handles them fine

Isn't the whole point of any standalone ECU to be able to put in injector characterization data and just have everything work unlike a Nissan ECU where prior to Nistune FP you had change MAF + injector together to keep load scales roughly in the right place? Searching around online it looks pretty simple to change injector settings while keeping the rest of the map the same, just write down the old settings for injector flow/latency before you start changing things.

The problem with older/cruder standalones is not that you can't set the ECU to know what their flow data is, it is that they struggle to control the injectors to really short pulsewidths, which is what is required to idle (and possibly even light cruise/trasnsient) on very big injectors.

The PowerFC is old and crude. So it's not ideal for large injectors. But the evidence does show that plenty of people have successfully run ~1000cc injectors on FCs. They just probably have fat idle mixtures (because the alternative is lean idle, which is terrible).

The tuner I took my car to is famous in Japan, and I assume he doesn’t want to taint his reputation by cutting corners and doing a risky tune. From just installing the injectors and without making changes, the car was able to start and idled better than most eco cars that tremble like crazy. It cruises fine, but runs very rich. I can tell from the popcorn in the rear from just lightly letting off the gas pedal and the smell (no leaks). I was able to drive it for a six hour round trip without any issue, other than what seemed like misfires at fifth gear below 2500rpm. This is my daily at the moment, and I know it’s risky to drive it without a tune, but four of my six cylinders were running very lean and two of them were very rich with the old injectors. I can’t extract my current map and send it to a tuner either because I don’t have a Hako or Datalogit to do so. Unless someone has one they want to sell.

Of course it's rich if it was set to 550cc injectors and you threw 1000cc in there without changes... it's injecting at least 35% more fuel than it should be everywhere !

The way it works is your power fc is factory calibrated to the standard factory injectors, so GTR 440cc low impedance injectors by default. The method to change to 550cc is 440/550 = 0.8 or 80%, hence why your injector settings were at 82%.

To set your injectors for the 1000cc ones is the same. As your data says they are 906cc at 3bar, it is 440cc/906cc = 0.4856, so you set your injectors to 48.5 - 49% - job done. If your tune was any good in the first place it will be a least 95%+ the same.

Also to note as the factory fitted injectors are low impedance as are the Nismos, so you need to delete the injector resistor ballast to run high impedance injectors. They are Bosch units they supply and should have come with one of these which I hope you are using:

I had already installed the ballast delete with the injectors. And I did research on the changes to Injector duty to compensate for the bigger injectors yesterday and gave it a shot. I set it to 52.1% at 0.06 and it stalled out any time I came to a stop, so I set it to 74.1% instead and it fixed that issue. Although, since my last tuner tuned the ECU to work with the 555cc injectors, I based my calculations on the previous injectors and came to ~64%. 48% turns the car and then shuts off immediately.

That would likely be a dead time issue and also related to the very short pulse widths required to idle it. The short pulse width will be badly affected by the dead time. Effectively you need "less scaling" at the low end (effectively giving you the ~75% that's working for you) and "more scaling" (which is actually "correct scaling") at larger loads.

I know this sounds like it contradicts what my first post said, but it doesn't really. The problem of older slower ECUs managing short pulsewidths is still a thing.

I assume that can’t be adjusted without accessing the current map with an FC Hako or Datalogit, correct? 
 

Are the digits on the right (+0.06) the dead time? 
I calculated:

1000cc injectors -> 0.989 @ 14V

555cc injectors -> 0.6

0.989-0.6= 0.389 dead time

Or at least the nearest value I can get it to. 
 

and the injectors (based on last tune):

555/906= 0.612 or 61.2%

Is this correct?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"

      But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
