    Do you have older logs with the other sets of injectors.
    It's always been off 1 side. Nothing has ever made much difference.
    Injectors we replaced. Then swapped side to side & centers to outside.
    Not sure if i can ID logs with the previous injectors, I'll have to check.

    You got constant knock at lower loads. Mixed side intermitten lean condition at low load conditions.
    I suggest you start all over with your tune. I can make a starter bin and work from there.
    That way we can rule out the bad tune hypotesis.[/QUOTE]

    Again it's always been like that. Since going OLSD the car has run and felt miles happier especially at 11-13:1

    I'll try anything you can think of.
    A new tune would be interesting.
    MAF is still on the car, just disabled as I have been trying to get the VE sorted.

    This probably explains why the VE tables end up looking like a toblerone!

    I still think this could be an issue with the inlet manifold, vac leak underneath.
    I switched to synthetic oil a couple of hundred miles ago.
    Car still drinks oil andsince the switch the manifold has started leaking at the rear china wall.

    I've been reading/Youtube on PVC valves so can check that tomorrow night. Prompted by the rear seal starting to leak.

    I'm open to suggestions on how to pinpoint the Vac leak to the manifold before I pull it. 2 sets of gaskets cost me about 80 USD last time

    Another thought on something I read was the bolts for the push rod guides on the AFR heads breaking into the Inlet Ports.
    I remember using LACO Thread sealer on the Head bolts and pretty certain I used it when installing the push rod guides.
    Something else to check.


    Cool.
    I await your response.

    Thankyou

    OK
    Got a couple of Datamaster logs with the 32Lb Bosch III's.

    Interested to see what you see in them !

    Thankls

    Earlier logs have much more consistent 02 data.
    I suspect the injectors just don`t open at low PWM{below 2ms} condition at random intermitten rate.
    It could be the pcm can`t handle it or the injectors are garbage.

    You can bring back the smaller injectors. Reload factory VE, Spark, Individual cylinder trims and all knock retard related tables.
    Fix the injector data flow and offset. Low pulse width correction are really important. I see all zeroed at the latest bin
    Increase cylinder volume to 935.

    Reseal the m22 plugs and retighten the header bolts.
    The knock could be real or false. Lowering total advance will show if it`s real
    If it is false you will have to find out what`s causing it.

    OK thanks.
    I'll check a few things this weekend and chuck the 32lb Bosch III's back in.
    Anyone got ANY specs for the Bosch III's or any recommends for anything better with some proper specs?

    Why the cylinder size to 935. The motor is a 383 so cyl volume should be 783.70cc

    IS the injector adder the time taken for the Injector to open and stabilise flow?
    Would increasing this make any difference? (presumably not if the injectors can't open anyway in this time )
    Zeroing them seems to be the only consistant info I have for these.

    How would the PCM/injectors cope with a huge cam that required bigger injectors then as the the fuel requirements wouldn't be much different at idle so opening time on a bigger injector would be similar.
    What's a stock injector idle pw time for comparison?


    Advance changes never seemed to make any difference.
    Running pig rich does which is why i still possibly suspect the manifold, if it's not the injectors.
    I'm 99% certain there is NO _usual_ vacuum leak anywhere. Everything has been gone over many times.
    Even knock sensor has been replaced twice.

    As to the manifold, I'll log again and pump propane into the rocker cover with the PCV valve blocked off just to see.


    Thanks again

    Do you have the part number on bosch injectors.
    Low pulse adder is to compensate for non linear behaviour at very short opening.

    You need to inrease cylinder volume, because pcm cant see over 100% ve. That way you keep ve resolution.
    The value I gave you is appoximate and may need corrections.

    Investigate any mechanical issues that may arise and affect the tune.
    Felpro intake gasket are really cheap. Might worth a try if you suspect a problem.
    Double check for anything that may produce a knock at the engine, exhaust pipes or body.

    Hi
    Injectors are from FIC - www.FuelInjectorConnection.com
    Ordered 30lb Modified Bosch 3 Injectors ( Stainless later core )
    Later ones were 42lb @ 3 Bar Modified Bosch Blue Demon 3 Fuel Injectors

    No info on either of these. I've scoured the web - nada.

    OK on the other info.
    Just been looking at the Gaskets. The felpro's LT4 ports aren't as big as the AFR (or Edelbrock's) so far as i've found.
    Also looking at plugs & O2 sensors.
    I got squeeks, not anything knocking.

    I'll pull plugs, do vac check, PCV check & propane this weekend

    ps @ Scott Pfautsch: Did you ever get info from FIC on the Bosch injectors?

    Thanks

    Nope, but mine are grey bodied LS injectors that I managed to find a partial offset table for. I may be giving you the wrong #s but I believe the PN that was left on the injector body was GM 12561462 which crosses to Bosch 0280155931. Nothing along the lines of low pulsewidth compensation though. My table at 0x129f5 is also zeroed. I did however reduce my "minimal injector pulsewidth" constants at 0x126d5 and 0x126d7 to 0.56ms (0x25).

    I'm running nearly identical roller rockers and have a far worse amount of what I believe is false knock that bands heavily around 1700 rpm. I've been all over the car looking for exhaust system interference and came up with nothing. I don't understand why it's better in hot and humid conditions and worse when the air temp and humidity drops. Reducing timing seems to make it worse. I've been wondering lately if it might be noise from my dual mass flywheel. But I think Mitch has a single mass setup.

    One thing that might be worth looking at is the possibility that a lifter may be sticking intermittently and holding a valve open slightly.
