Just as a follow up on the Starlet before we return to our usual programming. Dyno check over. Runs rich but is safe.
Makes 105.2kw/176.8Nm 141hp/130ft.lb on 11psi with the Stock ECU

Oof. You're not wrong about "rich". I'm surprised not to have seen black smoke on the dyno. Less than 10 is fat enough, let alone diving below 8 at the top end!

First run had some woofs of black smoke then went away for this one I filmed. General driving i tend to see 10.2-11.5 on my gauge.

Still gets 8L/100km.

I should leave it alone and just drive it around but now i am considering a the 2 options of either FCD + RRFPR and see if a little more boost and some fiddling gets the AFRs more reasonable. Or option 2 looking out for a cheap Link ECU to wire in as standalone...

Put a link in.

I'd make the argument that "Just a daily" is what needs the real engine management and real tune for it's driving around casual needs.

You can cut corners when you DGAF for dailying or road use on a car.

yeah i think i accept that something to address the AFRs are on the list for sure.

Interesting how much different(richer) the dyno wideband (exhaust tip) reads than my one reads (pre cat).

I just went through this on the dyno.  - Only to realise most people consider the one in the sniffer on the dyno to run artificially/fake leaner by about half a point.

We trusted the dyno readout. Dang.

Most tuners tend to prefer the one closer to the header location, but also most dyno's will trust their own gear (obviously) and that gear usually involves a sniffer at the end of the exhaust as this is used on every vehicle. 

And if it reads 'incorrectly' it reads falsely lean which is safer than too lean.

Supposedly because being (further) inside the pipe means it won't be affected as much by outside air.

Mine is mounted roughly middle of the car, just after where my exhaust merges. No science there - Just where it fit and I wanted it after the merge of a V8. Most widebands request it be 1M from the exhaust port or thereabouts as a minimum.

got bamboozled by the edited post haha


"I just went through this, on the dyno only to realise most people consider the one in the exhaust pipe to be the more accurate one. My car is now tuned 0.3 rich. :p"

My wideband which is post turbo, pre-cat reads leaner. Than the dyno one in tail pipe which is backwards to above. I guess its possible the dyno one or my one is out of calibration. Though mine is pretty new still...

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
