Re: c4 header/manifold for single turbo
yea, I'm kind of in the same boat, I tore mine down probably over a month ago, and have only had time to touch it intermitttently since, I don't think I've actually touched the car in 2 weeks now (though I have messed with some parts in the basement...).
I really still hope to have it running again before the end of the month, but I guess I also have to figure out how to make some changes in the MS before I fire it (MUCH bigger injectors, I've gotten 3 different answers about scaling the tune for it in the MS forums/groups which has me pretty annoyed).

Re: c4 header/manifold for single turbo
to start u shouldnt have to change the fuel table
just swap in the new nijectors and change the injector size/req fuel calc that will get u close , and then form there u will need small adjustments here and there to the ve table

Re: c4 header/manifold for single turbo
I run the GM 427 ECM that has two injector drivers like the MS. When going to 57#/hr P&H injectors I had to switch from batch fire to alternating bank. I had to re-code to do this so that at low BPWs it does alternating bank. When the BPWs hit a big enough value (3ms) I switch to batch fire. This allows all 8 cyls to get squirted 100% of the crank rev.
Not sure why MS has not gone to this style of squirting. Seems like all one can do is pick one fuel strategy. If he goes batch fire then it is too much fuel at idle and low rpm. If he goes alternating bank then it is not enough fuel under boost/decent HP due to only squiring 4 cyls every other crank rev. If he goes single fire, then that is squirt all 8 cyls only once during 2 crank revs. If I had MS, this is what I would pick becuase it allows the decent PW at idle and allows a full 100% squirt at decent HP. The downfall is slightly rougher idle compared to the alternate bank fire at idle.
Overall, will MS I would pick the single fire mode (squirt all 8 cyls every 2 crank revs). In MS terms, this is 1 squirt simultaneous.
If they ever upgrade this, they could have a alternate bank (squirt 4 cyls every crank rev alternating the 4 cyls per crank rev) and switch to batch fire (all 8 cyls squirt every crank rev) when PWs get large enough in alternate bank mode.

Re: c4 header/manifold for single turbo
If he does 2 squirts alternating then he runs out of fuel under boost because during each crank rev only 4 cyls get sprayed. He needs all 8 sprayed. If he goes 1 squirt and simultaneous he gets all 8 injectors sprayed during 2 crank revs. Great, full fuel at boost..........but at idle it only gets squirted once every 2 crank revs which gives a slightly rougher idle than 2 squirts alternating. But this is the only way to get full fuel spray at boost and still be able to get an idle with a BPW that is not too small for the injectors.
He wants to set the fueling strategy for the most stable idle possible with the large injectors.

Re: c4 header/manifold for single turbo
It just dawned on me that the alternating will allow the injector to spray during the next crank rev if needed. Duh! I went through this with the re-write I did.
Yes, 2 squirt alternating is best for the big injectors. Should give best idle BPW and stability and provides fuel for max HP.
