Hi there.

Got the Fc datalogit, laptop, LM1 hooked up to fc datalogit, and a apexi power FC.

Now I need to know how the Af should be..

Could someone rougfly point out what AF ratio I should aim for, layed out on the 20 x 20 inj map. Not each map point, just say the first 5 x 5 should be around XX, then up to 10 x 10 it should be around XX..

Thanks.

Best Regards

Ronni

the first 10 rows should be aiming at about 14.8:1

After that, I'd start richening up the mixture row by row until you can get the last line the car uses to run about 12:1.

I'll get a picture and show you in a sec

it all depends on the engine and setup that your running.

some cars need to run a little richer to run correctly on lower load points.

I find that some cars can run fine at 14.7 on cruise across the whole board but some cars will run like a dog and will need to be richen'ed up to around 13.6...

For AFR on boost it also depends on how modified the car is. If you have a stockish car then 12 afr is fine... if your pushing alot of power then its good to run it in the low 11's to keep the engine cool.

I disagree with that statement.

I'd still run a flat 12:1, as any lower starts to rob you of power an is just rumming the engine too rich. If the car is overheating, then there is something wrong with the Coolant system.

I'm running 13:1 afrs with water methanol injection. Engine sits at about 79 degrees after a few hard runs.

I'd only go richer if its pinging and taking timing out doesn't stop it in that area, but I have never come across this so I don't you should either.

this is what I run without WMI as promised:

Why do people allways run their cars on the edge to get max power at the expense of reliablility ?

Running a engine hard on .85's can work yes. But what if there is a bad batch of fuel in the question ? or a fuel pump starts to fail a little or a fuel reg does something silly it could change the afrs to .87 .88's on a highly tuned engine after a short time you will have a broken engine.

I like to see mine running at .80's and .82's when im pushin 25psi and 360rkw.. sure i could bag a extra 20kw if i leaned it off but i ike my engine and i want it to last.

More power is not allways better.. reliability is where its at as far as i am concerned

If you have a really good quality fuel system and EGT's in each cyl to make sure every cyl is getting the exact amount of air and fuel as each other and you are 100% sure everything is working correctly then sure run it lean...

Using water changes everything and you can run it leaner.

well, of course your going to run that kind of richness at that power and boost, but that kind of boost is probably too high? Have you considered looking at a turbo that provided more flow? Or maybe some cams?

Remember, boost is bad, its a measure on how much the engine is resisting the air your trying to push into it.

But if your talking 11.2:1 afrs, I still thats simply too low for even your setup. I'd look at 11.5 - 11.8. All you need to do is watch the knock, and I bet if tuned properly, there wouldn't be any at all any way.

Its not the fuel (to an extent) you should be focussing on when you want the engine to last, its timing. Pull the timing out if you think its going to ping \ blow up \ be running on edge.

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
