Tuning for Boost: LT1/GDI Motors Vs. LS/PI Motors
Trying to understand the differences in tuning the LT1 (High Comp.) in boosted applications (I.E. Centri Chargers) Vs. similar boosted setups on the earlier LS motors (I.E. LS3 or LS7). Talking about Pump Gas 91 and 93 applications.
What are the main parameters to watch out for in the newer LT1 GDIs? A/F and Ignition Timing probably being the critical factors to take into account, however, the relation to Fuel pressure(I.E. much higher with the GDI motors?) and injectors' timing and fuel quantity / supply should be attended to in a different way I guess? Thanks to those who are experienced can provide some education and guidance on how they go about safely tuning the SBE LT1 motors on boost.:thanks: |

Exactly...injection timing is one of the most critical parameter on these DI engines.
Another thing is you will need to adjust your driver demand and torque limits. |
Thanks for the inputs.
I guess that for added safety a HPFP (I.E of the LT4) would help with required fuel supply, in addition to strict adjustment of the injector timing? |

What about an in-tank pump voltage booster (AKA "BAP")? My power goals are ~ 580 WHP, not more. I hope to be able to achieve it at ~ 8.5-9 Pounds max on 93 pump and still keep the timing advance and A/F in a "safe zone" Is this achievable with I.E. a Novi 1500SL system? |

Can you tell me where the fuel pump voltage is in the FSCM? I have my tune pulled up and I see my AFM/NPP valve settings, so the FSCM is loaded. But System/General/Alternator - I see the "fuel system voltage min"...but that's in the ECM. as a matter of fact, everything under alternator is in the ECM.
