But we arn't talking about 1400rpm in 5th? We are talking about normal driving conditions; keeping up with traffic which may mean 0psi-2psi of boost.

Tune these area's to as lean as they can go (sure reduce a little response but who cares) and you WILL pick up fuel economy. Why tune light/part throttle for maximum throttle response.

Not arguing discussing.

I think I have simply missunderstood your line of thought or missed a prior post or something :(

The PFC's closed loop is closed loop, being 14.7:1, you cannot make it run leaner even if you wanted to. Tweaking of the inj. map is really all you can do, this attempts to bring afr's closer to the closed loops target afr.

Datalogit

Settings 1

"O2 Feedback"

Default is 1.047 lambda ie; 15.3 A/F ratio = around 1 volt on the lambda sensor output

Change it to whatever you like as long as the narrow and slow lambda sensor can read it

Tip, lean it out at pre boost rpm (load) and use the acceleration enrichment to get the throttle response

:) cheers :yes:

Im lucky because i can flick a switch and have a totally different Map for max performance or economy,Changes on the fly instantly.

I reckon you have 2 maps, one for "max performance" and one for "poorer performance". The fuel ecomony shouldn't change if the car is driven the same. Efficient combustion for power, is efficient combustion for fuel ecomomy.

Placebo effect, you flick the switch on the ECU for fuel economy and the brain gets switched at the same time. Hence better fuel economy.

The best fuel economy switch is the one under your right foot.

:sweat: cheers :(

PS; yes I have tested it, I set up a car some years ago with an economy/power switch (that did nothing). After a month of testing (the owner thought the switch leaned out the mixtures), bingo the economy position used 12% less fuel. You should have seen his face when I showed him an unconnected switch.

    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
    • actually, I've had one of those for a while and it gets more use than you'd think. Yes catching subframes, engines etc coming out under a car on a hoist, but also getting heavy stuff on shelving (to a certain height) without a forklift, holding the fuga's hybrid battery....like many good tools you'll find the jobs for it once you have it
    • Right, so God, it's been nearly 12 months since my last confession....  The main confession is I'm a horrible car modifier (amongst other things).  Obviously the pool was a massive distraction for the entirety of last year but really doesn't excuse me for doing nothing at all on the car for this year.  To be honest this year was a mental break to get over the extreme mental torment and pressure I put myself through putting the pool in!  It really was a slog.  The pool is still not completely finished but it might never be....  The kids love it and the wifey and I love it so mission success! I have spent a grand total of 30 minutes working on the car since when I commenced on the pool.  I just have not had a spare brain cell to be able to focus on it.  The thought of working on it just seems abhorrent to be honest.  My heart is just not into it.  Yet..... What I have done is decide that I'm a clown to not paint ALL of the underside of the car while I'm at it.  Originally I was stopping at the start of the rear subframe to then "get back to it later on once I'm ready".  Let's be honest, later on might never happen so may as well keep diving in!  I'm already balls deep so may as well go a bit deeper! So......  I've just purchased a hydraulic scissor lift table to be able to take the rear subframe out as a whole unit without having to dick around with jack stands rolling around on the ground.  Us 6' 8" blokes don't operate well at ground level! One of these- Anyway, will the investment in an expensive tool that I'll probably only ever use for one job motivate me to crack on?  Only time will tell..... Wish me luck!
    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
