SD2/Powerlogger Pro general discussion

I wish I understood the injector offset better.

Posted from the TurboBuick.Com mobile app

ok, let 'splain it a little.

the injector offset is a small amount of extra pulsewidth that is added to the calculated "base" pulsewidth in order to correct for the fact that the injector does not open instantaneously. if you want xx grams
of fuel shot in, and calculate y miliseconds to deliver that fuel, the actual pulsewidth needs to be a little more, since the injector needs a little time to snap open.

the amount of offset required varies by the type of injector, and impedance/drive strategy and the voltage available.


now, the SD2 has several offset curves in it (the actual offset depends on the ignition voltage, so there is a curve) which is selected by the offset parameter, and you can adjust slightly from the preset curve.

if you set the offset to 25, you get offset table 2 (the 10's digit picks the table), and no 'tweak' (5 is the middle of the adjustment range) 26 is table 2 and a little more, 27 is a little more than 26, 24 is table 2, but a little less....

and so on.


some of this make sense?


the bottom line is if the offset is too small, the idle will be lean and the tip in will be lean. I tune the offset so that the idle is ~ reasonable then tune the tip-in after.

So I should start back to 166 (E85) on the composition and start adding the Inj offset to richen the mixture at idle? Or what I have already done is sufficient?
 
Thanks Bob. That was very helpful. I'd like to see more of that detail on some of the other tuning aspects (y)
 
Can I download the powerlogger program and look at the logs that people are posting. Ihaven bought it yet but would like to look at the logs to see what people are doing
 
You can download it at full throttle or turbo tweak. There are a bunch of SD2 files on the general discussion thread that you can view.
 
ok I downloaded it installed it. It opens fine and I can load a log into it to review. but after about 1 min. it starts popping up an unending amount of error boxes that say" invalid floating point operation". What might I have done wrong.
 
yeah its working fine now. Now I got to get the chip, update sm get the pl itself, get the motor and trans built and in the car. God I'm glad I'm doing this on someone else's dime.
