Anyone know of a program or tried http://www.megamanual.com/v22manual/vetable.htm to calculate your base VE table?

Phil,

You can Only Assume a value for VE. There are to many variable to come up with an actual formula, it has to do with chamber design, bore, valve placement, flame propagation.

I would make all my calculations based on a 100% VE value. That will give you a bassis to tune. If you come up that mathematically your IPW will be 4.2ms at 3000rpm & 100kpa to acheive a 12.5 afr, you run the car and findout that in reality your AFR is 12.2 that means that your actual VE at that rpm and load is ~97.

Am i making sense?

If not let me know i have a great Tunning Manual from a seminar i can Scan and PDF to you.

The PDF file would be great. I am trying to figure out how to build a base VE to use to start my new engine. If you could send the file my email is phillip_eclipse@hotmail.com

Hey, Phil
Does the BS3 not have a system configuration in it? The others do. You enter CID, valve size, intake runner length (ACCEL DFI) and some other shtuff, and it sets up a basic table for you.

AFAIK The BS3 does not have that but I could be wrong. You do setup CID, Valve, and the other stuff but I don't know if it autopopulates a ve table.

Pretty sure thats what its for. Sets your baseline to work from. Not familiar with BS3, but all the other aftermarket systems I've done have some sort of cofig table/page to get your VE table baseline, so it'll start.
