    Zero is IAT. 2 is ECT. 1 is 50:50 ratio.

    That is not how it is defined by hpt. 0 being iat, 1 being full ect.

    Cannot help how it is defined. Look at the math equation I posted earlier. The table value range is 0-2. Zero is IAT only, TWO is ECT only, 1 is 50/50.

    I am finding a lot of conflicting information on this one. Like i said with my experience adding to the bias helped get rid of fueling swings on heat soak. No matter how it works the end goal is consistent trims.

    Lets use 50C for IAT and 100C for ECT and ignore the Kelvin conversion to keep the numbers nice and clean.

    Correct equation
    273.15 + IAT + ((ECT-IAT)*Bias)

    With a Bias value of Zero
    50 +((100-50)*0) = 50 = IAT reading
    Bias of Zero completely eliminates the ECT input.

    With a Bias value of One
    50 +((100-50)*1) = 100 = ECT Reading
    Bias of One completely eliminates the IAT input.

    With a Bias Value of Two which is completely possible to input into the software the charge temperature is higher than possible in reality.
    50 +(100-50)*2) = 150 = ECT plus IAT combined

    That explains why values over 1 had weird results when I experimented with them a few years ago.

    HPT failed log in.jpg

    I want everyone to know I'm pretty sure this dirt bag tried to hack into my account here today. I've been on here nearly 20 years and I've never had an alert like this. This happened today, in the middle of bickering with this idiot.

    Not to mention, every damn thing he posts is incorrect. Minister of misinformation, the maintenance man.

This is not a condescending question.. but a serious one.
    I understand exactly why your asking this and don't take it as condescending.



    On the ECT/IAT bias. If you didn't know.. it's meant to be an average between ECT and IAT. The math should be done in kelvin. For instance 100 F isn't twice as hot as 50F. Kelvin and Rankin fixes this. So at lower airflows you'll see it biased more towards ECT. This is because they assume the slower airflow though the engine is being heated by the intake ports, manifold, etc. The other table is the filter. How fast this calc can move. I honestly do not suggest messing with it.
    Thank you for your professional response and time.

    That is making sense.

    Strange the HPT definitions don't clearly state this and what the values mean, or allow something greater than 1. Source of a lot of confusion over the years.

    For what it's worth, maybe another confirmation, efi describes this exactly as the post above from 4.7 in their software

    If I remember right, -40F is roughly double the air density of 240F or so.

    Sounds legit.
