Hi folks, I was wondering if anybody could help me with this injector timing table, is from an Aem basemap and I want to set it up in tunerstudio (Megasquirt)
Could somebody help me with the corresponding values? AFAIK negative values in tunerstudio correspond to BTDC, but my logic says that the AEM table in injecting in some points when exhaust stroke is ocurring, sorry for this stupid post LOL, but I need to clarify this.

Re: Help with injector timing table
General consensus is that all fuel should be injected before the intake valve opens.
Unless there's a map missing from your view, aem treats this as a 2d table (rpm vs injection timing) vs megasquirt treating this as a 3d table (map vs rpm vs injector timing).
Generally speaking, as rpm increases, time for fuel to dwell against a hot intake valve should increase too. Your tuner studio table shows the opposite.
It would be hard to correlate the megasquirt value to the aem value without knowing the timing point... ie, is the injector timing staged at end of pulse vs start of pulse. My recommendation is to setup the table at end of pulse, and megasquirt will back up enough to inject accordingly.
And injecting on the exhaust stroke is likely better than injecting during a valve open event FYI

Re: Help with injector timing table
What is your timing point (start, middle, end of pulse) set to?
I would set to injection timing at end of pulse (meaning injection ends at the crank angle specified in the table), and values starting at 380 degrees (assuming a cam with intake valve opening no more than 20 degrees btdc exhaust stroke) and increasing as rpm increases.
But there's multiple ways to set up the table and start/end pulse to shoot fuel at the closed intake valve most times.

Re: Help with injector timing table
Looks reasonable. It makes more sense to me to speak in terms of btdc, so my table would be 720 degrees added across the board (to result in positive numbers throughout the table).
I would probably give a little more time at 600 rpm (-340). And the other rule of thumb I've heard is to add 10deg per 1000 rpm for a swing of approx only 60 degrees across the whole rev range as a starting point. But then again, it will become less and less important as engine speed and pulse width increases.
