Default RE: Volumetric Efficiency

I think we are now back to the basic math is

A constent developed from the injector size and engine displacement)

X

(AFV) ... this is a slowly moving +/- 10% correction that can't be seen or reset with old SERT software

X

(Adaptive Fuel Tables VE Lookup) ... a multi celled table (of unknown size of&nbsp\\;X by Y and tied to either MAP or TPS and RPM)&nbsp\\;developed on what the ECU learns from the O2 in closed loop and may cleared on reflash.&nbsp\\;The ECU will all attempt to average these to 100 once the AFV homes in. These also can't be seen or with the old SERT software

X

(Main fuel tables VE Lookup) ... Based on the main VE table.

X

(MAP reading in KPA/100) ... Apparently is is there looking at the VE values and that the system is claimed to be a speed density system. The VE table is Alpha-N presentation. Note that&nbsp\\;the AFR targets and the timing tables are MAP based.

X

(Warmup fuel correction)

X

(The desired AFR)...&nbsp\\;This is verified when in closed loop.

X
&nbsp\\;
(Intake Air Temp&nbsp\\;correction)
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Remember that each and every term has to be understood before you start&nbsp\\;messing with any other term. Is there anything else&nbsp\\;you need to understand before taking on a&nbsp\\;basic&nbsp\\;bike tune?
