Great video Shane 💪🏼
Almost need a graph/data like this with every injector . Great stuff
Thanks for taking the time to make this video Shane. Makes so much sense when you show the traces. I really appreciate this video and can't wait for the next one!
I've lost count of how many times I've re-watched this, but every time it's given me more than I could anticipate! These technical videos are pretty sweet, thank you!

Thanks for the explanation Shane.
Love the use of a knock sensor to determine the injector pintle effectively reaching the end of its travel. I think im defenitely going to have to play around with that doing direct injector behaviour.
Really clear explanation! Thanks!

Oh, one more thing, the injector pintle is not moving „slightly“ or spraying a little bit during the rise of the amperage but snaps when enough energy is there to counteract the spring force inside the injector. So the dip in the current curve and the pintle hump in the voltage curves are the exact snap points. So your idea attaching a knock sensor proves what I had learned using my Picoscope. Thanks

Oh, btw. do those measurements with Voltage from 7-15Volts because the opening time increases seriously when Voltage drops with high starter demand during Startup exactly when you really need the injector to spray.

Lol you read my post on last vid this is what I was trying to say omg my hero
great explanation and presentation , just a heads up, along with the knock sensors, you can also use chassis ears hooked up to the scope and "visually see" things on the waveform, they are also sensitive enough to pick vibrations as well and plot them on the scope i.e. like a bent rim or vibration driveshaft etc... Thanks again for taking the time to share the information.

@@TunedbyShaneT no need to thank , you have done so much for the industry and are one of the most knowledgeable people that there is. I've watched lots of your content over the years for a very long time and appreciate what you share. Along with what you share, I think that the best part of it all, is your subtle not give a "crap" to conform or please people. It's "raw" and true and you can't "fabricate" it and it makes things genuine. I have been a heavy scope user for sometime now and it has changed my life on how I do my day to day work, I know your a man of super knowledge and are light years ahead , but just as a follow up for the chassis ear set up on a pico, I'll try share link, I now you could probably figure it out on your own as you did with the knock sensor, but it shows how I set it up and use it. thanks again for sharing your knowledge. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iouCsMZ6nM2pqNY.html

This was incredible information, thank you for taking the time to make this Shane. I do have a question to add... when using a low impedance injector with an inline resistor, how does this typically affect the closing dead time? And am I correct in saying that generally, a high impedance injector is a bit easier to setup, at the cost of high rpm control? (Compared to a low impedance injector)
@TunedbyShaneT
3 жыл бұрын
High or low impedance doesnt matter. The current in the circuit matters. Inline resistors limit current and therefore slow down the opening and speed up the closing. Usually you lose more opening than you gain back closing
Also, Shane do you have a video on measuring coil dwell on a picoscope?
An interesting thing to see would be the fuel flow as the injector opens. See how much fuel flows as the injector opens, flow under full open, flow under closing. Probably unnecessary as you would just see a flow number given per pulse width and that's all the ECU needs until you get into the non linear portion.
nice , but i think the injector open before the cnock sensor send the signal

No you can pretty much line the two up perfectly on the scope pattern.
Thanks. I did those measurements years ago and plotted my injector dead times with my Picoscope but I never thought of attaching a knock sensor to prove what I new about the mechanics of injectors. How did you attach them?

Just a question. The current trace rises when commanded to the point where you see the slight dip in current. Could this be total injector lift and the remainder higher trace be the extra current needed to hold the injector open till the end of the cycle?
@TunedbyShaneT

The hump in the top of the trace is where the injector reaches wide open and the peak current continues to rise until it switches to hold mode.

What tool and software did you use for this analysis? Do you have to put an electric current through the knock sensor in order to get a reading from it? Or does it produce a voltage on its own?

I used a Pico Scope which is a PC based scope. The knock sensor generates this signal on its own.

Monitoring the fuel pressure might have provided a little more insight.
@TunedbyShaneT

With the normal sensors we use it’s almost impossible to discern any of this information through fuel pressure. I have logged them with a single pulse using the labscope and even then it’s dodged. High speed sensors would fix that problem.
Good thing "Injector Dad Time"... nice, but don't give up the day job.
