AEM Help: 780ccs...68% duty cycle@250whp????
My 780cc delphi are at 68% duty cycle at only 250whp. This keeps my a/f in the 12s. Am I reading the aem pro right?....on the fuel map/view duty cycle my tuner put in 68. Am i right, does that mean 68%duty cycle? because you can type in up to 130 on the charts. Thanks.
btw...if i am correct, could it mean that my fuel pump could be bad?

((OK I have no dyno/tuning experience))
but that sounds ok to me. 780 is kinda big and it supports kinda big HP, so if its only having to put out ~290hp worth of fuel, then why wouldn't 68% be right?

Im thinking that fuel delivery might be exponential in respects to HP. Maybe once you hit around 80%d.c. you will be close to the 400 hp mark? How do you know you are at 250hp?

What is your fuel pressure and is it remaining constant? Don't forget, fuel injectors are usually rated at 45psi or so. If your fuel pressure is falling to 30psi under boost then it'll take alot more injector pulse for the same amount of fuel.

Sounds like what you are referring to is the fuel trim number in the AEM software. Generally speaking, this is just a number. Most engine management systems do this in their own different ways. Some go from 0-200or 0-256,some go from -50 to +50, and if yours does go to 130 then it is impossible for that to be duty cycle, 100 is the maximum duty cycle possible

Correct me if im wrong but i think the duty cycle in the AEM software can go over 100 to work with staged injectors. When the number goes over a certain percentage, say 80%, the rest will be taken care of by the secondary injectors. If the duty cycle is 120% and the limit for primaries is 80%, the primaries will be at 80% and the secondaries will be at the equivalent of the other 40%. If you are not running staged injectors there is no reason for your duty cycle to ever go above 100.

if I view my fuel map in duty cycle form, my last cell at very top right hand corner is at 101.
This is on a -14.7psi to 21.75psi load scaling. I have never reached max set boost of 21.75@9000. I have only hit max of 18psi@8500 rpm. That particular cell is reading at 83.9. I am using 720cc RC and fuel pressure at 45psi. I honestly think I should ignore viewing the fuel map in duty cycle. AEM has alot more to figure out themselves and they havn't address the fuel map viewing in duty cycle form. Havn't you notice that the duty cycle fuel map looks as it's preset? Nothing is preset on ems, so there must be a option to set your own duty cycle curve and I havn't found that setting yet. So, in the conclusion, I think you are okay.

HOw do you know when your injectors are maxed out?

AEM gets its duty cycle values from the pulsewidth values. It figures out what percent of the time the injector is open. The pulsewidth values are the raw values multiplied by the microsec/bit option. So duty cycle is not preset, it comes from your raw values.

Re: AEM Help: 780ccs...68% duty cycle@250whp???? (BlueSi2k)
Only way to find out is ask Aem engineers!!!
I suspect the duty cycle values is not a direct caluation from the pulse width since my raw graphical and pulse width graphical is identical but duty cycle is another set of curves. Have your tried changing the values in duty cycle form? change some values and then switch back to raw mode and view the result.

Re: AEM Help: 780ccs...68% duty cycle@250whp???? ([Evo]Hybrid)
The reason why the raw and p.w. curves look similar is becuse the pulsewidth is derived by multiplying the raw value by a single number makin the change linear. I'm sure dutycycle is dependent on a bunch of other factors.

How do i know if it falls when in boost?
#23
Re: AEM Help: 780ccs...68% duty cycle@250whp???? (boostedsol)
Changing the microsec/bit changes only changes pulsewidth not raw. The change in p.w. in turn creates a change in duty cycle. Yes, rescaling does change this number. This is because rescaling makes the highest raw number close to 240 to give better resolution. It then changes the value of microsec/bit in order to negate the actual fueling affects of changing the raw values. So in other words you are getting the same actual fuel but differen't raw values are displayed.

So who can explain why duty cycle value is a smooth climb from low to high regardless of what the raw values are and where it is derived from?
