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...?

    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol. 
    • Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.    
    • Bit of a similar question, apprently with epoxy primer you can just sand the panel to 240 grit then apply it and put body filler on top. So does that basically mean you almost never have to go to bare metal for simple dents?
    • Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.
    • I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.
