Q: What is the largest injector that the Blue E-manage is capable of controlling, and what will happen if I exceed this?
A: Greddy states that the Blue E-manage is capable of controlling
injectors upto 150% larger than the original injectors.
For example if you have 400cc stock injectors you should be fine
with upto 600cc. However the E-manage actually isnt the limiting
factor on injection size. The correction takes place by modifying the
airflow signal to the ECU, and provided there is enough room for alteration
within the ECU larger injectors can be fitted. A perfect example of this is the
Pulsar GTi-R where 720cc injectors are no problem at all.
If you exceed the limit at which the stock ECU has adjustment for
you will find that idle and part throttle fuelling especially at low
rpm's may be very rich. Simply put the stock ECU will not send short
enough duration pulses to the injectors and so it is not possible to
lean out the mixture to the right ratio regardless of what you try on
the E-manage.
There several ways to overcome this such as choosing the right
size injector or fitting additional injectors and controlling them on
the additional injection from within the e-manage. However if you
really need to go this far you are clearly after big power, and would
probably be better opting for the E-manage Ultimate which takes over
complete control of injection pulses, and as such the injector size
limitation is removed.
