As some of you know I have a s-afc on my 32 and it seems to be working fine at part throttle tune. However at full throttle I am leaning out at max power then richening up near the end (wrong way around) the thing is that we maxed out the afc at this point and made no difference. Then we backed it right off and made no difference to the dyno run???? What could be causing this? afm is 99.6% maxed out but injectors are good and the fuel pump is huge so whats the prob?

Anyone

have you checked your throttle postions the default is 15% may be change it if the afm is maxing out may be a fcd needed as the ecu cant make change cause the figure is constant.?

just thoughts not fact.

you afm seems to be the issue cause its maxing out so the ecu just dumps fuel.

meggala

The thing is this, I want to fit bigger injectors so if I do this the afm will not be on as much load so what I will do is get my car running as good as possible with this setup then buy 6 550cc rx? injectors for $420 and this will solve all my problems as the afc will then be used to BACK the fuel off instead of add it, my tuner has estimated the afm to be at approx 66-70% with these injectors as he has done similar things on other cars. My main goal is to run a this years Jamboree in September with a mid-low 12sec.

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
