Fuel pressure drop configuration


Warchild

Recommended Posts

Me again .... again ...:)

We bought two 150 psi sensors, one for the fuel pressure specially. It is installed and working 100%.

Question: Where or how do we configure the link ecu that if fuel pressure drop below certain value to cut ignition ?

Standard while idle, car is about 3 bar , and fuel line connect to boost, so if car boost 1 bar, fuel pressure will be 4 bar etc.

PCLink Help gives an example of using a GP Limit table to control engine RPM based upon oil pressure. Have a read through of this and you'll see how something similar could be setup for fuel pressure.

PCLink Help > G4+ ECU Tuning Functions > Engine Protection > GP RPM Limit   The example is towards the bottom of the page.

Warchild,

If you use the modelled fuel equations and have the "Fuel System Type" set to "FP Sensor" then the ecu will automatically adjust fuel injector pulse width to compensate for falling fuel pressure. 

But adding an ignition cut or boost reduction via a GP limit for large fuel pressure drops would not be a bad idea.

If you have an older model (ie a G4) with no modelled equation, would a 4D table be required to do this (edit - "this" meaning the compensation, as the GP limit functionality is the same)?

From how I remember the relationship between fuel and pressure it would be a reduction in fuel by the square root of the increase pressure.
