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 going quite rich which is expected on an untuned ecu.

You cant just aim for a specific afr though, you have to give the engine what it wants, which varies between engines.

You are also forgetting timing. You cant guess what thats doing.

Why didnt yiu just crank the boost whule it was on the dyno?

It was dynoed to check for timing issues as well and seemed to hold up ok. 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

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
