Re: BPW and Cylinder Vol.?



When dealing with an engine that is completely different from anything
gm put out, any starting ve table is going to be way off. When in
closed loop, the int can swing so wild that you can't follow it.

Forcing open loop and 14.7:1, it's easier to get most of the ve table
on the rich side first. Then enable closed loop and fine tune.  Even
for this it's best to lock other variables in place.

Been thinking that spinning the engine with a motor and measuring
the airflow at each point in the table should be a good start.
