Engine constants

Post by Dominix »

Hello everybody. I need a little help on the configuration of the standard injection. This problem concerns a 4 stroke engine with 4 cylinders with indirect injection but with 2 injectors for each cylinder (for a total of 8 injectors). So:
1) To set 2 injectors for cylinder I need only to set the number of injectors to 8 and the port injection type to port injection ?
2) If I set 4 squirts / Alternating, this means that each of the 8 injectors spray 2 times in a cycle, right? I.E. injectors of bank 1 spray at 0°, then at 180° spray injectors of bank 2, at 360° again bank 1 and at 540° spray bank 2.
It's right?

The actual injection angle will depend on your tach input method and unless you are using semi-sequential, it is not locked to any particular angle - it will vary on each re-start.

Ok but basically, with an alternating sequence the injections occur for a single injector or for all the injectors on a bank?

Alternating Batch injection will be all injectors on bank 1 then all injectors on bank2 and so on. You were correct before saying there will be a 180 degree separation between events for your given example, but the initial starting crank angles are not set in stone. That's why it is also called Untimed Injection.

I still have a doubt regard the first question.
Thinking about a single cylinder, I have 2 injectors powered by a single physical connection current power supply. So, each current supply splits for two injectors.
How I have to configure my engine constants?
- I have to set 8 injectors ?
- I have to set 4 injectors and then divide the "required fuel" by 2 ?

Thank you again for your time.

The two injectors are connected to the same MS injector driver? Then simply add their flow rates together and use that value as a "single large injector" when calculating the "req_fuel" value. Want an example for a single-cylinder? Here is one I am experimenting with:
