back fire is where you get flames out of your INTAKE

thanksyou ;)

what??

obn topic, i am running the stock BOVs, with PFC, and a safe tune on it. mine backfires quite a bit. it even throws flames sometimes at high rpm. i believe it is quite safe, it is just running a tiny bit rich.

Technically correct, thanks.

How many people would know what afterfire is though? :happy:

personally I like a good backfire on a gearchange or decel but " hey" thats just me :yes:

If you find it a problem there are a couple of things you can change on your PFC settings to remove or lessen the effect.

Firstly your accel pump settings are set quite high from factory with the PFC. So any slight blip on the throttle pumps in a fuel but little air. This hits the hot exhaust with the usual pop pop crack sound. You can even "make" it do it on a trailing throttle by tapping the throttle lightly on decel.

Dropping these accel back from the 4 or 5 ms factory down to 2 or 3ms improves things.

Secondly the bottom fuel row settings have a big effect on trailing throttle overrun and can by reduced (carefully) to reduce exhaust popping. The PFC does have fuel cut on overrun I know but these bottom row settings do have an effect.

Cheers,

Mike

Hahaha... this is exactly how i've been scaring unsuspecting pedestrians :yes:

Thanks Mike, great info!

I'll give this a try :P

    • Hi guys my TPS voltage is reading over 2v at idle.  My Haltech ECU is reading around 40% throttle position at idle also which is really strange. Note the actual throttle position sensor is brand new…    anyone have any experience with this or know how to calibrate it on Haltech ? 
    • The OEM disk will not work on any AEM ECU, you need to use the one they made. You shouldn't have to flip the CAS or whatever you were describing, if you set the ignition sync offset correctly it can't backfire. Make sure you're using a spark plug lead on coil 1 instead of the timing loop to avoid weird issues with the timing light. Double check that your timing settings are actually correct, like is the 24 tooth configured correct or should it actually be 12 teeth for 1 crank revolution? I also found this: 305817248-AEM-Undocumented-Settings-v1-2.pdf    
    • Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.
    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).
