| - | The A/F Ratio display item causes more confusion than any other. But it's really very simple. It's basically taking __mass__ airflow data reported from the datalog and dividing it by __mass__ fuel flow data. The calculate __mass__ fuel flow, the display item uses injector pulsewidth data from the datalog and the flowrate of your injectors along with the specific gravity of the fuel you're running. | + | **NOTE:** This page is a little dated since the release of ECMLink (V3). Much of this information is still accurate, of course, but the specifics of what you enter into the screens is different because this page assumes a V2 application. A better reference for the V3 application can be found in the AFRatioEst section of [[ecmlink101initialchecks|this page]]. |

| What's confusing many times is that you have to **TELL** the A/F Ratio display item the flowrate of your injectors. It doesn't know and can't assume that the global fuel scalar is correct. You configure the A/F Ratio display item the same way you configure other display items. Right click on the A/F Ratio label in the graph legend and select "Props". Fuel specific gravity data will be available from your fuel supplier. C16 race fuel, for example, will have a very different specific gravity than regular Exxon pumpgas. | What's confusing many times is that you have to **TELL** the A/F Ratio display item the flowrate of your injectors.

| - | From the factory, manual transmission 1G DSMs came with a base fuel pressure of 37psi. The ECU, of course, knew this and calculated fuel delivery based on the assumption that you were running 450cc injectors at 37psi. Most injectors are rated at 43.5psi, however. Including those 450cc injectors installed on the 1G DSMs. So that 450cc/min rating is not the actual flowrate into the engine. The actual flowrate is closer to 415cc/min: | + | From the factory, manual transmission 1G DSMs came with a base fuel pressure of 37psi. However, most injectors are rated at 43.5psi, including those 450cc injectors installed on the 1G DSMs. So that 450cc/min rating is not the real flowrate into the engine.

| 450 * sqrt( 37 / 43.5 ) = 415 | 450 * sqrt( 37 / 43.5 ) = 415 | ||
