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...?

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
