48 lb/hr (504cc) 12-ohm impedence on 1.9L?

Post by Minami Kotaro »

Any first-hand experience with those or larger injectors on a 1.9L engine? This is primarily a street car. I'm a little worried about idle.

You will be fine. Many saturn 1.9L guys are running 52# injectors without any problems.

Well, I was planning to put them in with the "new" engine but I went ahead and put them on my current engine.

If anything, they idle better than the 36 lb/hr injectors. Off-idle response is much improved as well. The only tuning I've done is reset my req_fuel (from 9.6 to 6.3) in Constants and in VE Table Tools. This bumped all my VE numbers up an insane amount so I'm sure it's pig rich.

The new injectors are disc-type whereas the old were pintle-type. How much difference would that make?

Thanks, Lance. I was thinking it over at work and figured I only needed to change req_fuel. :RTFM:

As for cranking pulswidts and other enrichments, I don't even use those so it isn't an issue. :D

How do you get it to start if you don't inject fuel during cranking?

Magic.

What I meant by that is, I don't have the cranking table turned on. I just use the "PW at -40 and PW at 160" values in Warmup Wizard. I've got a pretty old version of MegaTune.

I don't use any AE, WUE, or ASE.
