Re: Smart injection
Hi Richard,
I will send you the relays and turn down the pump 1/2 turn as instructed. I have just ordered 2 relays (and some 4mm line) from you too, will take the 40A relay and fuse instead of the relays ordered!
These teething problems are part of the challenge that make the rewards sweeter and increase knowledge base. I'm glad to be doing the learning curve before tuning. Really feel that I am getting to grips with it. I'd never have a turbo car without injection again, can't believe that it is not a factory fitted thing, even if just water, I think it would make more sense than an intercooler in a Smart (You have seen it's location, useless in a supposed city car that sits in traffic. If you park for 10 minutes, MAT will be 40+ when you start it again from absorbing engine heat, lol).
Had a clogged pre-turbo injector (couple of polishing mop fibers from tank, lol) and knew instantly because turbo boost like stock, (so must be pre turbo injector, the difference is that noticeable!!!) and flow down to 3 bars (1/2), system is brilliant in letting you know what is going on once you understand it (I have bypassed failsafe temporarily until mapping because no damage can occur till then anyway).
I'm stunned by the intake temp thing, the intercooler is never heat soaked, even if you give it some stick so MAT increases, and then let go of the throttle the MAT then drops like a stone!
As you say this car was born for injection.
Cheers!
