TunerCat... How do I change inject.....

Hey guys,

I'm new to this tunercat. I have no idea on where to go to change the injector size! Also how do I actually go in and change it on thepcm and up-load the change.... I hook it up and theirs just a ton of stuff that I dont understand. I just have to change the injector size and nothig else.

It's listed in the PCM Constants Table. Do a search on your injectors though as some require a slightly different setting than what they are rated for.

Hey 97ws6, Any idea where I can start to search? I guess you saying that a 40lb inector may have to be set at 37lbs or 42lbs depending on who makes it..

I'm not sure if it says in the sticky, but when you change the injector setting, you have to do a calculation first, which is what 97WS6SCharged was talking about. See Injuneer's post below for clarification.

Re: TunerCat... How do I change inject.....

Not quite.... its not a "simple ratio"... its proportional to the square root of the pressure ratio.

The SVO's are flow rated at 2.7bar = 39.15psi

To get the new flow rate at a new pressure (say 3bar = 43.5psi), you need to calculate the square root of the pressure ratio.... example:

Pressure ratio = 43.5 / 39.15 = 1.1111

1.1111^0.50 = 1.0541

New flow rate = 30 x 1.0541 = 31.62 #/Hr

You may also find that the flow ratings are "nominal".... the stockers for example, are quoted as 24 #/Hr, but they are programmed at 24.9 #/Hr.

Thank you for clarifying that. I've actually used this method before, but I forgot about the sqrt. I thought the SVO's were rated around 39 psi, but my caculations weren't working out. Wasn't making sense.
