Pulling out stock injectors (in our case 550cc injectors) and replacing them with Injector Dynamics ID1000's or similar is a common upgrade when modifying a car, however, scaling these new injectors correctly inside a factory ECU is a key step to getting your tune dialled in.

Injector scaling is something we're going to be doing a lot of when we're tuning any engine factory engine management system where we have upgraded the injectors. Essentially this is information that allows the ECU to understand the relationship between the pulse width that it delivers to the fuel injector and the volume of fuel that is delivered.

Essentially what the ECU has is an input in the way of, most likely a mass airflow sensor if it's a factory engine management system, that's telling the ECU what mass of air is going into the engine and we're also telling it what air/fuel ratio to target and in order to achieve that air/fuel ratio it needs to know what mass of fuel to deliver, there's a relationship there between the fuel mass and the fuel volume but essentially this comes back to what pulse width do we need to deliver to the injector in order to achieve the correct delivered mass of fuel? So of course if we're dealing with a factory engine management system and everything's stock, all of that data for the factory injectors is going to understandably be correct.

But when we start running out of fuel system head room when we're modifying our engines, we're going to quickly find that we need to upgrade our injectors and this is where it comes to providing that correct information back to the ECU in order to get everything working again.

In this #freelesson we’ll look at how this can be done on the Subaru platform using Ecuflash for tuning and RomRaider for data logging on our Mainline Dyno, however, you can do this via road/track tuning as well.

Also note, what we'll look at here is also broadly applicable to the Mitsubishi range of Evolution vehicles because they work in a very similar way when it comes to injector scaling and even though the ID1000's came with supplied flow data which is tempting just to pop into your tuning software, that isn't always the right thing to do as Andre explains from around the 20 minute mark.
