Ah...I thought you were saying that = the pressure *increased*. If it's fluctuating randomly, and you're sampling once/sec with no damper, it could be all over the map (pardon the pun).

Same symptom with digital MAP gauges; I was seeing swings of several inches in MAP on my Lyc's engine monitor until I put a restrictor in the feed to the MAP sensor (creates a damper). Unfortunately, I don't thing that would work with a fuel line. = ;-)

Yes, solid steps.
One second sampling intervals.
How much increase on the gauge? Where is the reference for fuel pressure measurement?
18 to 64 psi, about 36 average.
At end of secondary fuel rail.


The pressure *regulator* should be referenced to MAP (manifold pressure), and will raise absolute fuel pressure as manifold pressure rises. If the gauge is referenced to atmosphere (or absolute), it would indicate a rise in pressure as the throttle is opened.
The regulator does respond to MAP changes. Originally I thought it was too sensitive and the source of the wild swings in fuel pressure. But there is a high-pressure fuel filter between the regulator and the fuel rails. Figured that would dampen any pulses before they reach the regulator but probably not true.

Actually I don't have a dampener in the MAP line to the regulator. Should probably try that. Since it wasn't an issue when tuning the engine I forgot about it. The EC3 probably averages MAP = samples.

The more I think about it, if there are pressure pulses caused by injectors opening and closing, the one-second sampling of the fuel pressure sender could be randomly be hitting highs and lows. I really should hook up an O'scope to the pressure sensor to see what the signal from it looks like.

No rx-8 injector experience, but if at the = staging point, if the EC-2-3 shuts off the primary injectors, and the secondaries haven't opened, fuel out of the manifold decreases, so the pumps would raise the pressure. Are you confident that the controller is reducing the primaries and starting the secondaries at the same time?

Subject: [FlyRotary] Renesis = secondary injectors

 

I noticed that my = indicated fuel consumption appeared to be about 50% higher than actual.

So I decided to start calibrating engine monitor fuel flow.

The first step is to = check/adjust fuel flow around the staging point (20"Hg) where the secondary injectors open (secondary injectors are larger than primary injectors on the 4-port Renesis).

I thought I had previously tuned the engine for a smooth transition around the staging point, at least to the point when I didn't notice anything when dvancing throttle through the staging point.

However, now doing stationary run ups around the staging point (especially when engine is getting hot) I get the weird phenomenon of it going very lean when secondary injectors (supposedly) open. Another odd thing is that fuel pressure = increases markedly.

On the HomebuiltAirplanes.com forum a guy that raced RV-8s for a couple of seasons mentioned troubles with the stock Renesis injectors.

Now I'm wondering if I have (intermittently) bad secondary injectors -- not opening when they = should.

However, I'm confused by the rise in fuel = pressure. Is there a injector failure mode where pressure in intake runners could push back through the injector into the fuel line?

Note that these = are factory-new, maybe 10 to 20 hours of total engine run (or attempted run) = time.

Another possibility is heated secondary fuel = rail. But if there were boiling fuel there the fuel pressure should still drop when secondary injectors open...

I tried to look but didn't = find a chart of 87 octane 10% ethanol boiling point vs = temperature.

Anybody here had any trouble with stock = Renesis injectors? Symptoms? Other ideas?
