The other correction factors range from 0.550mS to as high as 0.805mS. That latter number applies to the last injector at the bottom of the second table.
(I guess I was doing this at the same time dcb's wife was. And it's nice to see that we found the same maximum!)
And it turns out that using 0.500mS instead of 0.805mS (for that particular injector) will lead to an overall error of almost 18%. The error is large because the absolute difference between those two numbers represents a large portion of the pulse width (2.500mS).
I also looked at other injector specs (like here: http://www.racetronix.com/), and they support my finding, that the discrepancy between static and dynamic flow cannot be handled by a single, universal correction factor.
I think this is ultimately a very manageable problem, because there are various ways an end-user could determine the proper correction factor to apply for his vehicle. But I think it's probably a good idea to make this a parameter that can somehow be altered by the user. |
Hello,
Thank you for your comments.
Again, my data was Toyota Prius's case and we saw very good real world results.
I'm not saying this project should use the 0.5msec delay, but my recommendation is to include some adjustment into the program.
Do something is better than do nothing.
