after a bit of feedback from ecu tuners out there on best mixtures for response/turbo spool while still being reasonably safe, as the engine goes from vaccum to boost.

car is a r32 rb30/26head with .82 rear gt35, cruising vaccum is around 8 in/hg, and comes on boost fairly quick once you put throttle down, so what do people suggest for mixtures as it builds boost??

example:-

5 in/hg= 14.0 AFR

0 vaccum=13.5AFR

2psi =13.0AFR

4psi= 12.5AFR

8 psi= 12.0AFr

12psi=11.5AFR

has any body played around with mixtures in this area to gain response without loosing safety of the tune?

Cheers

Really depends on your method.. on my previous ride, I used somewhat a lean spool technique where timing was a tad relaxed, but coming onto boost it was quite lean

Some tuners prefer to richen it up a bit and dial in a tad more timing.. really depends what makes power with the least knock. I'm no professional but I do whatever works for me.

Lower timing causes the mixture to burn a tad later, so the heat is not absorbed by the motor and ends up out the exhaust manifold creating more exhaust gases to spool up the turbo.

But in saying that, lower timing will also make the car produce less power, where as higher timing and more fuel will produce the power but the "burn" has more time and the engine absorbs all the heat enery producing a lower EGT.

All in theory, but whatever works right? EVO boys all go lower timing, but lean spool their cars

I'm no expert but,

5 in/hg = Go lean until you loose more power than fuel. On a good setup the engine will make the same power at 16:1 and 14:1

0 vacuum= Still stick in the 14's for economy. Even high 14's are fine. With 6 throttles you can get to 0 inHg at 2/3 throttle. Your egt's will be high if sustained for a long time at full throttle...... but its only ever there for a nano second.

2psi = I would still be 14's on your engine. Same deal, not going to maintain this for extended periods at full throttle.

4psi= 13.5AFR

8 psi= 13.0AFr

12psi=11.5AFR

14+ psi = As rich as you can run it without hurting power too much. The richer you run it the safer it will be. That's why nissan do it.

Forget about ramping boost unless your going to run anti lag. Component heat is what you want, not lean mixtures.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
