Oh my god i feel ashamed to be west aussie, How can please some people lay in bed straight at night.

I hope the rest of ozz doesn't judge us all in the west the same as few intent on making a joke of us.

Is that because you guys don't use Jim Berry clutches or because we drive our own cars at the drags :spcow:

then why does everyone suggest not running above 90% duty cycle?

If the injector is running at 90% then there is insufficient capacity left for acceleration enrichment. When you push the thrott le down the ECU adds more fuel for a short period of time to help the engine accelerate. If you dont add any fuel the engine will hesitate and only slowly accelerate.

If the injector is running at 90% then there is insufficient capacity left for engine temperature enrichment. One of the ways to cool down an engine is to add a bit more more fuel. That is not possible if the injector is already running flat out. One of the things we do with the V8SuperCars (that why they trail flame out the exhaust on overun. We add extra fuel to cool down the cylinder heads, you can see the difference on the data logger.

If the injector is running at 90% then there is insufficient capacity left for engine protection. If you program in some protect strategy for overboost, excessive air flow, high water temp etc there is no extra fuel available to save your engine.

In an extreme case there may not eve nbe enough fuel for cold run enrichment. Without extra fuel until the engine warms up it will run like a dog, stall, may not start and generally be real pain in the ass when it's cold.

because thats what smokes the coils in injectors... an injector running over 90% d/c will get too hot and eventually fuse its coil..

Actually the fuel flowing through an injector is what cools it down. So it could be argued that more fuel through the injector = cooler running.

that is a load of crap. A injector holding wide open is not gonna overheat and burn out haha.

That's not quite right either, a solenoid is an electromagnetic device. Holding it open continuously does not allow any magnetioc field recovery time and it eventually won't close against the boost pressure. There is a big difference between 99% and 100% in that regard.

Hope that helps:cheers:

yes the laws do i ply but i think dynos anit dynos over here and i'm fast becoming a believer that the 1/4 is the only true lard stick as dyno figure seem to matter very little anymore with so much variation.

has magic1 gone down the 1/4 yet since it recorded the (true or false) figure of 511rwhp. I believe it went a mid to low 12 @ 120mph with 400rwhp (unsure of whose dyno) ???

265 rwkw (355 rwhp) = 11.9 at 119.8 mph in an R34 GTT

So 511 rwhp should = high 10 at ~130 mph

:cheers:

Ive read in numerous places that an injector over 90% will suffer the following

1. Coil overheats, the size of the windings in an injector coil are very small they were never meant to be on 100% of the time. Fuel flow cools an injector but being held at 100% the heat from the coils will far outweigh the cooling capacity of the fuel in the localised area of the coils. Leave them at 100% for too long and they will smoke.

2. At over 90% on almost all pintle injectors the injector will inevitably hit a static point were the injector hangs at half open half closed, which will actually have a hell of a lot less flow than an injector at say 75%. You do the maths high duty cycle then BANG into static half open position will cost you a motor.

Both are documented if ya wanna go hit google.

Peace

what kinda nut runs his engine at full throttle during warmup?

Magic1,

I think what you said along these lines might have needed some qualification to stop squabbles, you put some mega buck ecu's in the same basket when you say;

"....because the Wolf computer has far superior fuel management than any other compter full stop. "

Instead I'd suggest that the Wolf ecu 'may' have some advantages in fuel control over similar priced ecu's. When it comes to the Motec's and others it isn't in the same league but, at the price no one expects it to be.

FFS... All it does is to batch fire the injectors as it doesn't have sequential drivers for 6 injectors.

If that is an advantage, a lot of ecus in the market are a damn good thing.

Now, if Wolf is such a good piece of gear, why aren't we being educated on them here...? Why aren't we hearing the good points of the Wolf against the other ecus, similarly priced or not...?

I thought being the main Oz dealer, that's the best thing anyone could do...?

im coming over.

23rd Nov.

im going to start a thread about it later in the week.  :P

What do you expect to see when you are there Ash...?

Here is a premonition :

You are going to see a Gts-t pushing out ~430rwhp. Whopse farken doo... Is it a good effort ? YES. Is it unique ? NO !

Now, the BIG talking point here is that, it's done on stock injectors. Another whopse farken doo... What is the infatuation with farken stock injectors...?

Batch fire is an early form of injection where all the injectors fire simultaneously for each crankshaft revolution, so you have two squirts from an injector before the intake valve opens.

Now. there are arguments on the advantages/disadvantages of batch fire vs sequentilal fire injection. Sequential fire is adopted by all major manufacturers today, because of its positive effects on emissions and fuel consumption. Maybe, this should be more of the talking point, rather than "look... xxx rwhp with stock injectors."

I would love to see a Wolf dealer come out and correct the ramblings above, or even add to it.

Magic1,

Can you confirm your 120mph pass on the 1/4...?

    • 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.
