Hi Team

Im nerding out on some the data features of my car (Ek civic with B18CR and a link monsoon x)

im wanting to setup the fuel usage calculations so i can transmit these to my can dash (powertune) to show fuel remaining data.

i think i have the jist of it but am stuck on what number are expected in this table? is this the injector flow at the fuel pressures stated?

i cant find much about doing this on the net, especially with traditional fuelling. i believe it can be done and am probably over thinking it but this table has me stumped.

i have the components setup to do this already, fuel pressure sensor, switches wired up to DI inputs for the fuel added and reset accumulated usage.

can someone let me know im on the right track? or if there is a walk through to do this that i havent seen, a link would be appreciated.

Richard,

I use the Link virtual fuel tank to display fuel remaining on Motec digital dash so I am familiar, but I really suggest using the modeled fuel with FP Sensor active compensation for many reasons. You'll have more consistent and accurate fueling, your main fuel table becomes VE which is a useful metric for engine system evaluation and diagnosis, you can swap out injectors and quickly just change injector data and go, etc.

The fuel used function working without setup beyond tank size will be one of the side benefits.

Hopefully you're using ID injectors, since proper injector characterization data is key to the accuracy of the fuel used calculation.

If you hit F1 on pretty much any setting or function you will usually get a pretty reasonable explanation of how it works. Example below for the table you are querying.
