24x Tuning with Fixed Fuel Pressure and Retrun Fuel System
I'm building a 396 LT1, it has modified fuel rails with an external FPR set to static 60 PSI with no vacuum, but it is still a return fuel system. It is a 24x system with 411 PCM. I'm using HP Tuners. I have set the injector flow rate to match. Does anything else need to be changed in my tune? I'm just a little confused since the LT1 is referenced with vacuum and the LS1 is not, but the LT1 is a return system and the LS1 is not. I maybe over thinking this, someone bring me back down to earth.

I've always wondered about that. My system using the MoTeC ECU runs constant 58 PSI, with no vacuum compensation. The compensation would have to be done internal to the program, adjusting the programmed injector flow for MAP. I just never asked the tuner.
With a fixed rail pressure, flow through the injectors is going to vary with MAP..... low MAP increases flow across the injector orifice, high MAP reduces flow. Mathematically, it’s a simple calculation to make. It would seem something internal to the program has to calculate rail pressure minus MAP (in PSIg), divide by rail pressure (is there any place where you enter the set rail pressure in the program?), take the square root, and multiply it times the programmed injector flow constant, and adjust the pulse width accordingly.
No answer, just speculation. Will be interesting to see what the answer is.Last edited by Injuneer; 02-23-2018 at 08:23 AM.

So my numbers in the PCM for IFR look like this for 42# injectors. I'm just not sure if this is correct for this situation, and/or does something else need to be changed.

Assuming:
- injector rated exactly 42.0 #/HR rated at 43.5 PSIg
- rail pressure at exactly 60.0 PSIg
- 100 kPa = 14.5 PSI
Then subtracting negative vacuum from rail pressure = rail - (-manifold vacuum) = rail + manifold vacuum = injector DIFFERENTIAL pressure, I built an Excel spreadsheet. My numbers for flow vs. manifold vacuum are virtually identical to the numbers in your chart. Deviations are a fraction of one percent, and appear to be due to rounding to a single decimal point in your table.
Looks good to me.SOLD - GONE TO A (VERY) GOOD HOME ! - 94 Formula A3+1: 381ci forged stroker - Callies Stealth, Oliver 5.85 billet rods, BME nitrous pistons / CNC LT4 heads / CC solid roller / TH400+GearVendors OD / 4.11 Strange 12-bolt / 300-shot N2O / Spohn Suspension / roll bar / MoTeC M48 Pro engine management system /a few other odds 'n ends.

After much research I found my injector data from the manufacturer. From that data I was able to change the injector offsets vs. volts, minimum pulse, flow rate multiplier, and short pulse adder. I couldn't figure what to do with the short pulse adder numbers so I subtracted 10%. Feeling pretty confident now with these numbers.

Did you make your own base tune for your motor? About to start putting a tune together for my 24x swap and making sure what all needs to be changed from the ls tune to the lt tune.

May I say that's one nicely put together engine bay.

Thanks, I wanted to carry the black and red theme throughout the whole car.

Yea I'm in the same boat I have tuned ls cars and trucks but this will be my first lt engine.
