    Great video but how do i measure deadtime at a set voltage?

    • @ryan_layne
      @ryan_layne 2 місяці тому

      @@teadrinkingilluminati9173 There are numerous methodologies, including getting a spec sheet from the manufacturer, which a google search will pull up. But the easiest way is to set engine to a fixed rpm, maybe 1500, and then change the number of squirts per cycle and adjust the dead time until the AFR does not change. So if normally you do 2 squirt per cycle then changing to 3 or 4 squirts should make no difference to AFR. But if it does, you know the dead time is wrong and throwing off the injector pulsewidth calculation. Adjust dead time while running until the AFR is stable at a couple different squirt counts.

      @@tonyvtech25 Dead time is not the same as dead time voltage correction. If your injectors come with data specifying the dead time and voltage then set the base dead time to that value, then run through the procedure in the video to calculate correction. Set the table to have 0 correction at the voltage specified in the data. So for example if thats 0.055ms at 14v, then set your correction at 14v to 0 and then make everything in the correction table match the afr which shows at 14v. Then fix the rest of your tune fuel tables because those will now be wrong.

    I copied this in the exact same way inside a Hella relay housing. I'm getting ignition +, I verified my ground, I can measure 5v coming from the ECU but I'm not getting a 12v signal out of this. I noticed by looking at (google) images some transistors have the collector and emitter reversed, but swapping the tach out and ground on the relay pins didn't change anything either. Does anyone have a suggestion? Could this be because I used an NO relay and I should've used an NC?

    • @ryan_layne
      @ryan_layne 7 місяців тому

      If you look up the part num on your transistor you can see the pinout, voltage ratings, etc. Sounds like you may not have used the correct type of transistor. Note that this circuit can be tested without the relay just by checking to see if 5v is turning on and off 12v via the transistor. The coil in the relay is only there to generate a flyback voltage spike.

      @@SpaceCrete Have you tried hooking the motor directly up to a benchtop power supply and varying the input voltage? Universal motors should be just that easy to control. The caveat is they are pretty low torque at low RPM so they will stall out under pressure at low voltages. A stepper or a closed loop BLDC motor would be good candidates for low speed high torque control. All these things are pretty cheap and readily available parts, so maybe you can replace the motor of an airless sprayer with one of those if you have sprayers/pumps already.

      I don't, sorry, but as demonstrated it is quite easy to intrinsically arrive at the correct values for these numbers. I am of the opinion that this is even better than knowing the theoretical characteristics of injectors. Unless the factory tests your specific injectors at your specific fuel pressure, etc, it will almost certainly be slightly wrong to use their numbers. If you instead use this method to determine your dead time, you will arrive at the precise correct number you need for consistent running on your car.

      Believe it or not, yes. I am about to try putting some alu shims in the mount to stiffen it up. I don’t want to go poly because they just crumble.

    I swear by amsoil filters 😁 you could run a magnet through there and see what she picks up. Also you gotta try gator wipes for cleaning too for a wipe instead of a paste they work great! 🤗 I gotta find some goop now.

    Thanks for the tip. I have a ULN2803 chip onboard my Speeduino already. I'll now try using an o/p to drive a relay coil. My tachometer is a mid-80s VW Scirocco, so it may also need the flyback signal.

    How can it be tested before installing... I fear of destroying my tach

    • @ryan_layne
      @ryan_layne 3 роки тому

      If your current tach hooks up to the negative terminal on the coil, then you will not destroy your tach. If it does not hook up to the negative terminal on the coil, you probably do not need this circuit at all for your tach to work and simply a pulsed 12v signal is probably enough.

    Very nice! Can you use 2N3904 instead?

    • @ryan_layne
      @ryan_layne 3 роки тому

      I don’t know but I would suspect the lower voltage rating might be cutting it close. The flyback voltage is supposed to spike up to close what that is rated for. They are so cheap, why not try it and see if it blows out?

      Hmmm... i donn’t think thats very likely. You could add a protection diode between the processor and the transistor to be sure?

    Hi Ryan. I really liked your idea to make your own fill/drain valve. How did it work out for you? Any chance you could share some close up photos of your printed valve? Any issues sticking inside the T when it moved up and down?

    • @ryan_layne
      @ryan_layne 3 роки тому

      Dang I just saw this... It did not work well enough. Too much blowby and tighter clearances would catch preventing the valve from returning. I went a different route, but my next idea what to use a ball and a diagonal cage so it could seal better without needing tight clearances.
