Re: Fuel injection? Open or Closed loop?
Don't really know anybody pulling timing with it. Most slightly tweak air/ fuel with it.

Re: Fuel injection? Open or Closed loop?
Just thinking, since we have always run closed loop, that could explain our inconsistency run to run when weather changes a little, but doesnt seem like enough to cause the kind of changes we have seen.
Our tune is tight enough, that we could certainly run open loop without worrying about breaking anything. Hmmmm, next time out, whenever that might be, I think I will try open loop to see. David The New Hemi Guy |

Re: Fuel injection? Open or Closed loop?
NEVER run a race car in closed loop.

Re: Fuel injection? Open or Closed loop?
I thought you could only run 1 loop as the other would adjust the fuel for the weather?

Re: Fuel injection? Open or Closed loop?
Micky, open loop makes no corrections.
Closed loop attempts to always correct to the values in the Target Air/Fuel ratio table. I'm surprised at how many use closed loop in this poll.

Re: Fuel injection? Open or Closed loop?
you guys might want to read the rulebook....
FUEL INJECTION Fuel injection must retain OEM throttle body(s), plenum, and manifold. If OEM throttle body(s) was equipped with electronic throttle control (i.e., drive by wire), the throttle body(s) may be adapted to mechanical throttle linkage if an aftermarket OEM-type electronic-fuel-injection system is used. Larger fuel injectors permitted, provided no modification or redrilling of manifolds is performed. Electronic fuel injection must be closed, OEM-type system; i.e., may monitor only engine functions. Monitoring of vehicle performance criteria, wheel speed, driveshaft speed, vehicle acceleration, etc. by fuel-injection system prohibited. All aftermarket OEM-type electronic fuel injection must be NHRAaccepted. A current list of NHRA-accepted electronic-fuel-injection systems is available on NHRARacer.com. Open-loop systems permitted on production vehicles as equipped with OEM electronic fuel injection. See General Regulations 9:1. not saying it could be checked very easily but 99% of you are illegal running in open loop.. Brad Last edited by HawkBrosMav; 07-30-2012 at 12:59 AM. |

Re: Fuel injection? Open or Closed loop?
You are absolutely correct Tom. P.E. (Power Enrichment) mode is Open Loop. Closed loop target air/ fuel ratio is always 14.7-1 unless they have a Lean Cruise Mode. Then usually over 15-1 or leaner. Those are normally "Export" calibrations, as the cats used now are not efficient that lean. Most factory calibrations are actually overly rich in P.E. mode. Richer than we run our cars. Most GM calibrations are closer to 12-1 from the factory.

I am not sure you are reading that right. It says that it must be a closed system reading only engine functions, not driveshaft speed etc.... The "closed" system part of the rule doesn't have anything to do with "Open loop/Closed loop" as far as O2 monitoring. The later part of the rule that you put in bold clarifies that.
