Default BS3 Help

so i cant get the car part throttleing even close to correct.

i have moved the fuel table, injector phase angle, injector opening time, and anything else that makes sense to me to adjust all over the place. i wait to make adjustments when there is no warm up correction taking place.

just lately i turned on closed loop to see if bs3 itself could figure it out.. and it went to -25% correction. that means its subtracting 25% fuel from idle less than a stock motor fuel map.. doesnt seem possible to me for a larger displacement heads and cam engine to use any less fuel than a stock ls1.

fuel pressure is 3 bar at 100 kpa. i have tried 160 and 96 # injectors

also can't get the learning function to work yet.

i have had fast responses via email by John M but i cannot say they have helped any.

The entire longblock, injectors and bs3 were bought from wheel2wheel.
Rich at wheel has been on the phone with me trying to help figure it out but we are both basically at a loss right now.

i would be happy to email anyone my file that can open it.
is there anyone in virginia or surrounding that i can come bring to the car?

with john m's help the car has really turned a corner.. now starts idles, takes off and crusies without much trouble.

injector opening time had to be driven below .9ms which was unusual apparently.

also because of that the entire bottom of the fuel scale had to be turned up.. these two changes put together brought the pulsewidth up to a functional number

as a result it threw off my acceleration fuel and thats what we are smoothing out now.

dont know if i will put the 160 pounders back in or just leave it alone!

good rib there dont hate ...always a learning curve for new equipment

problem is i have a small cid, low idle rpm street car with huge injectors. and actually i had to make a larger time correction with the 60# injectors on the accel box vs these 96's and the bs3 box.

i do miss the pretty 3d maps of the accel box but i can't think of anything else.
