I agree grant theres a lot of small things, especially with ignition and the ford idle valve.

Rhys what injectors are you using?

you might want to check out the flowrate of those injectors before they get into tuning as at a guess they won't flow enough to support your engine safely..

yes. The flow rate needed is proportional to horsepower output. For a standard engine they'll be fine but for yours they may not flow enough to support the extra horsepower..

Standards, I believe. I pulled them out and had a gander, but I've never seen Sierra injectors before to know the difference.

Do you know what your duty cycle is at 6000 rpm / 100 kpa?

Nope? No idea. I don't really understand duty cycles etc of injectors. Two dyno joints have had the car. The first was supposed to check them, change a pintle cap and make sure they were good to go, but as I'd already installed them and they did a sheet job I doubt they even removed them to check.

Other dyno joint did say anything? I'd think that if car was running lean at higher rpm they'd say? or suggest bigger injectors. Least I hope they'd tell me that.

Feel free to give me a lesson on duty cycles etc.

No problems so far, except Ive experienced a miss at just over 2000rpm when just cruising. Only a couple of times in 500kms

Cheers

Duty cycle is just the % of revolution time the injector is open. 0% is closed the whole time and 100% is open the whole time. Generally you want to stay under 85% to be safe

The thing that got me started on all this is theoretically with normal fuel pressure to make 130-150hp flywheel while staying under 85% i'd need 210-230cc/min injectors, i'm not sure but i think sierra and camira ones are 160 or 180 (i'm using camira).

I'm going to datalog mine tomorrow to double check its still ok..

PS sorry rhys i've hyjacked your thread!
