I got my results recently and wanted to confirm if these AFR's are ok.

Car is stock apart from some Jap ECU (Impul) and Cat back exhaust.

Made 150kw and 250 nm

my afr's are as follows:

13:1 @ 2,800rpm @ 6psi

12.5:1 @ 3,500 rpm @ 6psi

12:1 @ 3,750 rpm @ 6 psi

11.5:1 @4,750 @ 6.5psi

11:1 @ 5,100 rpm @ 7psi

10.5:1 @ 6,250 rpm @ 6 psi

150kw @ 5,750rpm

250nm @ 5,250rpm

I wish to put in a bleed valve (GFB) and raise the boost to a constant 7-8psi, with the above AFR's do you think I still have a safety margin.

Car was not detonating on the dyno, i just want to make sure I wont cause issues if I put in an MBC, especially if my boost comes on earlier where i am the leanest with regard to AFR's.

I do have an aftermarket Jap ecu (Impul) which is for 100 octane i think. So by running 98 ron i was cautious and had it Dynoed after turning the boost down from 12psi (set in Japan) to 6-7psi.

Any advice appreciated guys.

It is impossible to say what part of the map will be referenced when you increase the boost. Odds on with a mild increase in boost the map will just get fatter but unless you stick it on the dyno and test it no one is going to know. Why not get the car Nistuned (or decent aftermarket ecu) and get more power and drivability everywhere.

yeah definitely going to tune it in the future. Just need funds as I just imported the car and also had major service done. Wanted to steady the boost at 7psi but wasn't sure if it's safe to do so as it leans a bit in lower rev range and GFB advertise for their MBC to bring boost on earlier so need to know how safe it is for me to do that. Didn't have a boost controller when it was dynoed so couldn't experiment at the time. Edited by Bugzs15

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
