Either way most injectors are going to be rated at 3 bar so you have to scale at least the IFR table for the fuel pressure you are running. Don't take offense, but that is Basic Tuning 101. If you can't do that with the myriad of spread sheets around on the web then you should probably not be trying to tune it yourself.
No offense taken! I just said I agreed with you on the tuning (as I think 1FastBrick does also). All I really need is the injector data. I was hoping that Magnacharger would have at least gotten that right in the tune, but evidently not. Believe me, I've searched many HOURS/DAYS looking for the correct injector data for the 17113739 injectors. But there is a lot of conflicting data out there. I'm almost at point of pulling them back out and spending for some that have known data....

You know back in the day before it was so PC to have to have ALL the correct injector data you would just set the IFR table for the injector size and fuel pressure and 9 times out of ten the vehicle would run OK. Not saying it isn't better to have all the correct data but before Injector Dynamics started supplying it for their injectors or Banish putting out his DVDs (that some will say has questionable data), no one really had real data for all the other tables unless it was an OEM injector you could look at a vehicle tune that used them. Even then the LS1s in the Vettes and F-bodies that used the exact same injectors would have different data in their calibrations. So is it really that critical? I think sometimes people forget that you are just tuning a vehicle with stacked tolerances, not the space shuttle.

Here's an idea, Your data could be just as wrong as the Magnuson data. Did you scale that for the FP he is using? Where is the data for all the other injector tables.

I understand what you're saying. I don't do this as a living so my knowledge base is not anywhere close to what yours is. Believe me, I try to exhaust my google searches before I post and ask questions on boards because I don't like wasting other peoples time. It's all good.

It's based on 4 bar of fuel like all stock LS1 fuel systems, thanks for asking. I have the other injector tables, but everyone was so hung up on IFR so I posted that up.

The point is to get the injector data close enough and then tune VE or MAF to compensate for the small variance in specific injectors from set to set. The only other way to do it would be to have your specific set of injectors flowed plus all of the voltage compensation tables plotted and min pulse adjust etc; which is ridiculous.

Some one posted the injector data in a thread I posted on HPTuners. Thoughts?

If they say they've ran that data on those specific injectors, give it a try.

What do you mean give it a try. I thought you had all the correct data for all the injector tables.

OP I've seen a lot of places selling those injectors rate them anywhere from 38 lb/hr at 3 bar to 44 lb/hr at 4 bar. I would say the data in that spread sheet looks reasonable for a starting point and the correct IFR slope for a returnless system running 58 psi. If you are going to run the 50 psi like you stated it needs to be scaled back. But since you are not running a vacc/boost referenced regulator it is going to be wrong in boost anyway. That is one reason I was saying not to worry so much about the exact data.

Thanks. I was wrong about the fuel pressure, I have a bad FPR and the pressure should be 58-62 psi.

I have the data for 42# green tops, but if he got specific data from some on HPT forum for those exact marine injectors hes got and the data is used on a tune that is actually being ran, seems reasonable to try it.

So you gave him data for injectors he's not using while giving me **** for not giving him data.

But still your injector data goes from 0-80 kPa. Once you go higher on the map, especially into boost, the pcm is going to use the valve in the 80 kPa column. With a vacc/boost referenced regulator you would flat line the IFR and the FPR would compensate the FP for all vacc and boost levels. Since you are not doing that trying to get exact on the injector data is not that big of a deal.

I gave you crap for literally adding no information whatsoever and just calling people out without helping. You can literally delete all of your page 1 posts from the thread and it wouldn't make a different. I did not realize he was using Marine injectors as everyone uses the 42# green tops.

Thanks. I think its my gauge or the pump. Still trying to track it down.

My issue was with the regulator itself. I bought the same speedway kit that I have seen everyone else use a million times.

Once I switched to a return system, and logged a steady 4 bar fuel pressure, tuning has been much easier.

Sorry was busy working on my shop all weekend. I installed a new FPR and cleaned my injectors again, now my LT/ST fuel trims look pretty good. The fuel pressure is better ~54psi, but still not what it should be. I installed a new bosch pump, 69225, before installing my tank, maybe it's the problem. Anyway, I won't do any more tuning until I get my exhaust installed on the 11th.

Hard to believe that two new WIX FPR's could bad (both are showing about the same pressure), but I guess stranger things have happened. I'm starting to lean towards the pump, Bosch 69225. I'm going to check the pump voltage before I pull the tank, just in case it might be a wiring issue.
