This paper investigates the effect of fuel bias between the primary and secondary injectors of a staged fuel injection system on the performance of a high output single cylinder spark-ignited internal combustion engine. It is known that staged fuel injection systems are widely used in motorsports applications where high engine speeds are coupled with high power output, therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a secondary fuel injector installed on a Honda CRF450R single cylinder four-stroke gasoline engine. The said engine was equipped with a programmable Performance Electronics PE3-SP0 control unit and a secondary fuel injector identical to that of OE. Power measurements were carried out on a Dynojet-200ix chassis dynamometer in four different modes with altered fuel proportion between injectors, with each measurement being repeated three times. Ambient conditions were monitored with Performance Electronics Pe3Monitor software and the fuel map was adjusted to produce a stable air-fuel ratio. The results were averaged and compared numerically and by coefficient of correlation. It was observed that the data as obtained from the chassis dynamometer software SportDyno 4 contains a lot of noise, both mechanical and electrical in nature, and the changes in power output are highly dependent on engine and equipment temperature. The best results were obtained by using both injectors with fuel proportion biased to the front of the system.
