tip/map ratio effects on fuel demand
Posted: Thu Jul 07, 2022 8:02 am
I've just installed an emap sensor and I am looking at how to integrate emap/imap (or tip/map) ratio to make a more robust fuel table for VE fluctuations caused by the pressure differential across the cylinder and hopefully improve accuracy at part throttle variation, WG operation etc. I could do this partially with TPS but I believe tip/map is a more direct measurement of what I am wanting to account for.
From another thread I found this comment:
TIP/MAP Multiplier = 1/(0.485*(tip/map - 1) + 1)
With the 0.485 coming about from iteration of logged data in a spreadsheet for best match to create a flat(ter) base fuel table.
i.e. VE is not affected in a 1:1 manner to tip/map ratio, however it does appear to be significantly affected.
Anyone care to comment on the validity of the above or otherwise an example tip/map multiplier to see if I am on the right path?
I don’t want to fall into the trap of data fitting for the sake of it despite the execution being flawed.

I feel like I have gone around in circles a bit trying to analyse my data, the best fit I have come up with so far appears to be:RICE RACING wrote: ↑Thu Aug 09, 2018 1:29 am You do need to know what your engine type looses in terms of air flow when the pressure differential across the engine changes (its not the text book function sadly) but its not too hard to work out either.
