after further review i figured out why i got better mileage in the calculations than in real world driving. i will re-calculate my numbers because i remembered my rpms were a little higher and my...
i can see how turning off the alt. would save fuel consumption. but i think the draw from an hho generator gives back what it takes in amps. its like a supercharger, it takes power from the engine to...
thanks stevo, im trying to make more sense of the test at idle. i didn't really expect to see that because it seems my engine does better at higher rpms. i get better gas mileage at 65 mph than i do...
FINALLY!!! i figured out how to convert pulse width to mile per gallon. ok so here goes
Alt. unloaded
injector 235/cc x 0.0049 = 1.1515 cc/pulse
cc/pulse = 1.1515
gal/pulse = 0.000303996...
still haven't found a proper calculation yet. but looking at injector duty cycle makes it a little easier to understand. at the given rpm and pulse width the injector duty cycle with no load is...
all i know is it was between a 2%-3.9% fuel consumption increase. but really it's more likely that it is a 2-3.9% increase in engine load so my car would show the most increase since its old and the...
i searched forever it felt like and still didn't come up with anything i think i might know. i looked for an algorithm to calculate mpg with pulse width fuel rpm etc. turns out that isn't a very...
ok so did a quick test on my lunch break because i was feeling frisky. the numbers are a little confusing because i don't deal with tbi very much and i can't find much info on the computer strategy...
ok, had a quick second and did a idle test. took some pictures but i haven't been able figure this dang thing out so ill just tell you. the car was fully warmed up used an inductive low amps probe to...
alright ran into a little problem. with my car being base model and all, i looked up the fuse ratings for everything electrical. turns out everything added up is only about 30 amps and that being...
putting a load on the alternator does load the engine down. but it is a small amount. just by running the fuel pump and the coils is around 8 to 10 amps, running the blower motor is around another 8...
not many studies done on alternator loads effect on fuel economy. i attended a class on gm's new strategy to turn off the alternator under cruising conditions and the results are nil on an individual...
