Steve,

Next time I run my test stand Renesis, I can specifically look for an= y change in BSFC just above and below staging MAP.  That should give a= n indication of the effect of fuel mixing in both inlets as opposed to fuel= mixing in just the primary inlet.

If you are encountering primary injector saturation and cannot adjust= the staging threshold to a lower MAP, changing to primary injectors with a= larger flow rate would seem to be your only option other than increasing t= he prop pitch to operate with lower RPM.  Obtaining satisfactory tuning with saturated injectors would be= unlikely, it seems to me.  Having the primary and secondary injectors= of the same flow rating would not be necessary.

So during the intake =1B$B!H=1B(Bstroke/rotational movement=1B$B!I=1B(B the= two masses of air from either side of the rotor, through seperate ports mu= st mix to ideally create an even air/fuel mixture.
Wouldn=1B$B!G=1B(Bt it make sense to have fuel being mixed in that secondar= y runner?

It seems to me that smaller capacity injectors may provide better atomisati= on for lower end engine performance/economy/emissions, particularly when on= ly the primary runners were active.

I=1B$B!G=1B(Bm also still wondering, should I consider replacing the small = Primary Injectors that have saturated at times with larger injectors making= 4 equal injectors?

Thanks for all the help.
