Default oem gtr injectors

I know a lot of people lately have bought oem gtr injectors like me as an upgrade. Where do i find the specs like latency? I did a quick search and nothing came up, i could only find the size 570cc

Easy. Use the values the stock GTR ROM uses:
Name:  GTRlatency_zps48d846fd.jpg
Views: 1161
Size:  46.9 KB

FWIW, I meant to use those values but I guess I ended up with running stock Z values when I tuned mine. It runs, starts (hot and cold) and idles just fine with stock values, but I think I'm going to retune it with the correct values.

I've never found what pressure they flow 570cc at either. If they're 570cc at standard injector pressure of 43psi, then they'd flow ~620cc at the 51psi the Z's fuel system operates at.

If anyone else tunes these, let me know if you happen to get a weird lean spot right around 2200rpm and 3-4ms BFS. It's really weird- it didn't exist with the stock injectors, and I wonder if there's some resonance in the fuel rails that drops pressure right at that frequency and duty cycle. It seems the STi guys get weird lean spots due to fuel system resonance, but I would have thought the dampers on the rails would counteract it. I dunno.

Does windows 8 work for Uprev or does it have to be 7 or 7xp?

Works fine on my windows 8.1 laptop. I don't know how I ever tuned other cars without a touch screen. SO nice.

Thanks man. Is it that much easier? I'm still deciding on a laptop right now. What do you have? I've been looking at ASUS and Lenovo.

I have an acer aspire V5 571 something or other. I like the touch screen vs. trying to use the touch pad or mouse it. It's just a lot faster when I'm tuning part throttle stuff while my wife is driving. Pretty much any laptop will do though, as you'll get used to whatever you get. The thing with the touch screen is that if you don't like it, you don't have to use it. My only complaint is that I can't turn it off, and my 2 year-old knows how touch screens work .

A number pad is a big plus too. It's much easier to use the +/- keys there than fumble with shift while tuning on the fly. I can just touch where the tracer is on the screen with my left hand and hit + or - to make changes. Super easy.

Yeah I picked up an Acer Aspire V5 11.6 screen, 4gb ram, and a 500gb hard drive. Not too bad for 370.

What are you guys checking on Cipher as far as what to log? I did some of the basics like the afr for bank 1 and 2 along with engine speed, throttle position, engine oil temp, MAF speed I believe.

It's saying I had an invalid file? I'll have to redo the file format. I'll update in a bit.

BFS
MAF volts
AFR correction for both banks

Log ignition timing as well. If you change injectors, it screws up the BFS axis of the timing table and advances the timing quite a bit. You'll need the stock logs to be able to adjust the timing tables back to stock. Do a lot of normal driving, but try to also do a couple slow pulls at part throttle up to redline to fill in as much of the table as possible using djamps tool (cipher is surprisingly worthless for viewing logs, despite how pretty it is).

The more info you have on how the car ran in stock configuration, the easier it is to replicate that once you've made changes.

Thanks for the info. I did various driving styles. Cruising to WOT, WOT to cruising, etc. Anyways, I reviews my data log and was @ 10.18 on my AFR around 6krpm's and was consistent 10's in the rest of the rpm range. Could only get up to 6500 due to traffic. I did notice that my AFR correction was 103 then fluctuates to 100 when letting off the throttle.

Seems like most cars either run pig rich or stupid lean. Mine was hitting 13-14 AFRs at WOT. Never a hint of knock, but it's a good way to melt a piston if you hammer on it long enough.

Granted, I never logged the original ROM, I only started logging once I flashed the ECU with the "stock" uprev ROM.

The correction will go to 100 whenever it exits closed loop. That includes decel fuel cutoff when you close the throttle.

I downloaded the master file so i could tune on the road. Anyone have any issues uploading files?

FYI GTR injectors are 550cc (I thought they were 570). There was a thread where someone tested HR, GTR, and a couple other injectors:

Those tests were done at 3bar gauge pressure or 43.5psig. At the 51psig nominal that the stock Z fuel system runs, they will flow about 595cc (550*√(51/43.5).

Can anyone explain how ECU exactly determinates Base Fuel Schedule, what conditions it takes into account? Having that strange issue for a long time and I would really want to know whats going on.

Problem is that sometimes when I make WOT run, for instance in 2nd gear, from 2000 rpm up to the red line, ECU "hits" no more than 17-18 BFSC, and sometimes it goes over 30 BFSC. Same boost levels, same ambient conditions, water temp. etc., but obviously it looks up to the other part of the ignition and fuel compensation table which results in different performance of the car. Which pisses me off .

2nd problem isn't potentially big but might be related to the 1st one. According to the logs, gear detection is totally wrong, looks like it puts random values.

you get 17-18 and also 30's from the same 2nd gear pull on the same section of road?
