Alrighty!!
I got back from the road trip and from DGRR, AMAZING event that everyone should attend always! DJ, I'd have come out saturday night but kevin had me all pumped up for a sunrise run (4:15am EEEEK!) then left us hangin' so we went alone
I was all set to drink loads american beer too.....
......next year!
Some interesting data I found while on the road trip (OH BTW didn't blow any engines this year -yet- so please please hold the applause!
) for starters, gas mileage.
50 Liter fill up, all highway driving, 525km's. In otherwords roughly 9.75-10L/100kms. For my 'merican friends - approximately 23MPG.
I was freakin' blown away.
Now obviously, this is an extreme highway test. we would litearlly fill up the car, get on the highway, lock in cruise at about 75mph and run until the tank was empty. If I boost the car......well, lets just say that I get viper fuel mileage! soudns faster!
That was running above 16:1 ratios as well. Its kind of wierd, but my wideband only reads to 16.00:1....so tuning those areas was "fun". I had to bascially do it blind and just run by what the car was telling me/how it feels, but I was surprised when it was still driving well that light loads/cruise areas were pegging the wideband full lean. The actual ratio couldn't be much more then 16.25 though, I just can't see that getting close to 17's would be enough fuel for it to run.
After usingthis ECU for a while though I have to say I really really like this software/way of control. Save for the stupid go$*D0vsaj mother%*$*$&ing laptop crashing on me its very nice.
In other news I've gotten my AFR's up top cleaned up all the way to redline at spring pressure - about 210KPA ABSOLUTE, or 16ish psi. The spring is supposed to be 0.9bar, but I just goes to 15 and gets real happy? I don't know. I can't wait to try frigging around the gain control though - this thing seems to come online pretty good with no help at all, that should really wake it up.
Any profecB experts out there have any advice for a guy wanting better RESPONSE, without much higher peak pressure? I do intend to have a *kill setting* though but I'll figure that one out myself
