MarcelB Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hi all , is there a way to obtain a differential pressure value , like fuel pressure against boost pressure which can then be used as a limiter ? I previously lost an engine when the FPR failed ! I know I can set up fuel pressure against boost pressure but DP seems a lot simpler.

MarcelB Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Wow , I am very famillar with the industrial versions of a DP switch/transmitter but I didn't think that a version like this even existed ! thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcelB Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 One more question , whats the max. working temperature ?can it be mounted in the engine bay ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lekonna Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 mine is mounted in the engine bay and working fine so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcelB Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 mine is mounted in the engine bay and working fine so far. Great 'cause I'm not comfortable with fuel inside the car.......I plan to use it along with boost pressure and AFR to turn on a virtual output that would drop boost and switch to the secondary fuel and ignition tables (which will be set up for safety) , mind if I ask how you incorporated it into your system?

Scott Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Of note, differential fuel pressure is available as a calculated value if you have Fuel pressure and MAP into your ECU. It can be found in the parameters section under fuel and all units using it must be in kPa for it to work correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he tells me :!: I already purchased the sensor , but its all good I prefer psi anyway :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcelB Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 This sensor has failed already :!: :cry: fuel is making its way from the high pressure (fuel) Side to the low pressure (air) side and back into the motor :!: what a POS :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcelB Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 wtf, how is that possible? they should not be in any way connected physically? how was it installed? My sentiments exactly ! rest assured it was installed correctly (I have a bit of experience in these things ) , also , the car was driven slowly for one block and idled most of the time so far , so no boost at all so no crazy pressures either.

Cameron Moore Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hi MarcelB, Yes as a parameter it definitely can be used, that's why we've put it in there. You can span it on any axis, eg if you change Injector Deadtimes to a 3D table, you can use it on the Y axis and voltage on the X. Or you could use it on a 4D fuel table, MAP or RPM limits.
