Killer T,

First Line: 100/100/100/101/102/103/101/100/100/101/103/101/100/115/119/125/125/125/125/125

Second line is the same

third line:

100/100/99/101/97/102/100/.....there after as for line one and two.

A bit different from yours, I am running a Z32 AFM as well, so that may be influencing things. My AF ratios are a pretty constant 12.3:1 and I get no detonation even on hot days running 0.85bar boost.

sorry late reply,

but did u end up getting it fixed?...

i have the same problem

funny thing is that it goes to normal after a 30min drive but sometime it doesnt, its so unpredictable

most of the time i feel like pulling my hair out & packing the power fc away & put back in the factory ecu & some other days i dont take notice of it at all.

it normally goes 1200rpm then drops back to 750rpm then rise again.

Some people has said it was the wrong selection of your AFM, my settings on afm meters are correct so i dont know.

If you have solved the mysterious idle problem please let me know ;)

ive known a few powerFC's to hunt at idle. mine is good with a Z32 AFM.

the fuel maps should be very close to the 100 setting for a car with stock cams. the higher the number the richer so if your car is cammed then add a bit more fuel to stabilise it.

check the temperature compensation. sometimes if the idle is rich and the temp compensation kicks in the idle deteriorates.

check the temperature the engine is running at. (see above)

rb25 should idle with 15 degrees timing. if i recolect. check this too in the ignition map.

check what the timing is with a light. if the reading on the crankisnt the one on the map then you should correct this.

check the fuel cut recovery points and idle speed.

pawL.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
