I'm having flashbacks of PTSD from weather stations and dyno sessions. 😂 It wasn't so much to tune the engines but to validate power and emissions which of course needed to be compensated. That weather station and control system was worked on by a long line of scholars, but... there was the occasional day with weather that threw a curveball which made the difference too big between what the ECU was capable of and the weather system could account for in the outcome. 🙈

Nice job! Time goes way too fast with kids 🥺🥺🥺🥺!

Crew Chief: "DAD"!! Epic!! 🤩

Amazing! Deflintely a dream of mine is that hopefully one of my kids will want to drag race

Great video and explanation.. I've been a licensed technician for over 45 years.. worked on just about everything.. now I teach.. always looking for a different way to explain.. very nice.. love the BTU angle...

I have wanted to do this since last year but the channel sacrifice was my bottle neck. I run Holley HP with the sensors you shown that uses the Can bus simplifies everything for me.

A ranger going fast, I'm in.

The Best of Times

SO AWESOME!!!!! Let’s go!!!

Awesome video!❤

Great video/info, thank you for sharing. Have you thought about integrating the Banks Power AirMouse sensor to your EFI system?

That’s awesome

:O this seems like an amazing program. Thank you for sharing here! Have you thought about putting your website links in your video descriptions? I would have found your site about 4-5 videos ago :)

Absolutely Awesome Ben!

Awesome video! Lifetime of great memories! Awesome job Dad!

So rad! So cool to watch Ally grow up over the last 8 yrs! Proud dad indeed, cherish all these moments ❤

Congratulations, warning though, the bug bites harder and harder from here on out. The bug to go faster.that is.

The world is your -oyster- plenum

Whether someone has a daughter or a son, either can involve a car hobby. Love seeing this!

Great moment when you gave her the jacket Ben. Special that you have it on video forever.

👋

Thinkin EFI University oughta do more / follow Ally’s evolution, via y’all’s KZbin channel, along the lines of Alex Taylor. She has a great presence, and could serve to inspire and mentor the young un’s, while promoting EFI University. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to ya’ll…

Interested to watch your videos, as I'm building a two stroke efi

Super proud of her! Keep it up, and good luck in Tucson!

👍🏁

I know this is old and might not see my comment but I am curious if you have dyno sheets with the intake and without. I am so curious to see how the lack of intake affects the power band.

Great video

What about short travel hydraulic lifters?

First thing to make it so much easier. Swap to a carburetor 😂

Is the Holley system not a true SD system? ie. the "D" is calculated from the IAT's already and needs no further correction.

Your discussion about timing advance is one thing not many people really understand. To my mind, the LESS timing advance a engine needs to operate at maximum power, is more efficient than one that requires more advanced timing. Notwithstanding air density, which does play a huge factor. A 'perfect' engine/fuel would desire the spark plug to fire at exactly TDC (top dead center). Problem is 2 fold. The efficiency of how fast the fuel flame front happens, to achieve complete combustion, and combustion chamber shape, valve locations, & spark plug location. The reason I say that a engine with more advance, being less efficient, is that a engine that requires 36 degrees, means that the flame front has to start 36 degrees before the piston reaches top dead center, which in turn, that early flame front causes expansion pressure, which is trying to stop the piston from ever reaching TDC, it's effectively slowing the piston down. What if there was a fuel that had such a fast flame front, that the engine would be optimized at say 5 degrees BTDC? I think there are 2 ways to do that. 1. Create a much 'hotter' spark... Say, a 'plasma' spark ignition. One that is both high voltage & high amperage. The initial spark would be much larger, therefore starting with a larger initial surface area of the spark, would cause the flame front to propagate faster, requiring less timing to optimize the power potential. 2. Using a faster flame front fuel... Meaning that you use a fuel, either pure or as an additive, a fuel that burns so much faster than current fuels. The fastest flame front fuel known to man is hydrogen. Think of a way to inject hydrogen into a combustion chamber, to accelerate the speed with which the fuel actually disassociates. I have some ideas, and I have built a demonstration video, showing the difference from a traditional MSD (CDI) ignition box, and a conversion to a 'plasma' ignition system. You can see that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJXEnHikbpd2l7M

"The more water vapor you have in the air displaces the oxygen & air that you were hoping to burn" Isn't it a shame that the water is so stable, that you can't use the extra oxygen in that water vapor as fuel? Isn't it also a shame that you can't use the extra hydrogen molecules in that water, as a fuel? "It's really difficult, basically impossible, to burn water". Isn't that a shame too. What If I told you that I've created a way, without using electrolysis, to actually 'burn' that water that's not only in the air, but actually add water to the fuel? Would that interest you in hearing more, or do you initially think I'm a crackpot? I'm offering to show you what I've discovered & how I do it, if you are interested.

Yes I sure hope that's what I'm getting for Christmas this year.

Annoyingly complex

Huge help

When running in VE, shouldn’t Holley already be using intake temp as part of it’s VE calculation? I have always used the IAT fuel compensation table on cars tuned in lb/hr, but left them blank on VE cars thinking that should already be getting compensated for in the background.

Mind, blown.

It’s crazy to me that people have a tier 1 efi systems and don’t take advantage of their compensation tables or modifiers. To me, in 99 percent of applications, you should be able to reach through the window and fire the car up and it should idle and not foul the plugs out, should be able to do the burn out and not die and come up on the aux limiter with minimal issues. Otherwise why are we buying the most capable systems. May as well not and save the money for other things. Thanks Ben.

Were i can get the weather track connection concept ?

Ole stradernator great video brother!!!!

I've been really enjoying your videos. They're going to blow up as time goes on for sure. Do you have any input on air temp sensor location for a NA engine? Some say needs to be in the intake tube, some say in the manifold. I found with it in an aluminum manifold it just ends up reading the same as engine coolant temp due to heat soak.

Great info Ben 👍🏼

You engine and engine oil are designed to work from 210* to 250*. Having the proper thermostat in your vehicle solves all these problems. Only thing to worry about at drag strip is elevation. Advance initial timing for elevation and race. No worries... Note: Carbs rule.🏁

More Videos like this one!! 👏🏼👏🏼

Great video Ben!

More awesome information!

You said it's impossible to burn water 😂 my wife knows how lol

This channel is gold. Can’t believe more people are not onto it

I'm not fully grasping all the talk, was the purpose of the EFI system compensate and adjust accordingly for all the meteorological conditions you are mentioning? Map, Air temp and O2 sensors, with the ECU programed to a personal giving set of parameters in close loop system will maintain what was programmed.

Hey Ben. Awesome vid mate. Is that weathertrack compatible with an emtron ECU?
