    A/F ratio when idling?

    Will it not work if i buy some smoke fluid, which is used like for discis and clubs or so, and then somehow feed this smoke into the compressor i am using? Then the compressor shhould be filled with smoke, so much for the theroy, but have no idea if this works and how best to connect the fluid...

    A/F ratio when idling?

    well the engine idles shitty anyways because i might have bhg, but once the car heats up, the idle is better. Therefor i am not quite sure what it is I hear. The broken gasket would not have to be very broken to be causing this, or? How does a smoke mashine work, never saw one yet. Can i...

    A/F ratio when idling?

    well most that i did, was install a big turbo and fmic. then i startek setting it up and noticed that i had a pressure leak, which came from a broken greddy bov on the hardpipes. This is now closed with a metall plate. then i was able to boost higher, because before that i was not able to boost...

    A/F ratio when idling?

    The first round i used the pressure tester, i discovered that my stock bov was broken, and i had left it in the car only to close the hole. So I was able to boost 1.3 bar without fuel cut, and i was very suprised by this. But Now I removed it and closed the hole, so it must be someting else...

    A/F ratio when idling?

    what do you mean? I believe, there is some boost-leak somewhere, and when the engine cruises, it has underpressure, and where air normaly goes out, when cuising air goes in. But where might this be. I built a pressure test, but could not tell where it is coming from. Might i have blown the...

    A/F ratio when idling?

    I have a greddy fmic with hardpipes, a hks sportturbo, bic downpipe, random tec cat, tanabe, apexi safc II, profec e-01. if it would have too little fuel pressure, then the ratios would not be correct under boost, i would say

    A/F ratio when idling?

    The three lines means, that the measured value is either below or above the amount than can be displayed. The range it can display it between 10.0 and 17.9 I believe. and when it shows the three lines --- it is something like 18.5 or worth, which is not displayed. Then my supra was setup stock...

    A/F ratio when idling?

    What do you mean in numerical format? The aem only displays between 10 and 17.9, so it must be more than 17.9 when it shows --- What is VF?

    A/F ratio when idling?

    Hi Guys, I still seem to have a pressure leak. This seems to be causing strange a/F ratios. What should it be when idling? I during idling used to have three line on my aem wideband --- showing it to be too lean to show. And when cruising it used to be between 14 and 15. Now also during...

    Built Boost Leak Tester, this is what happens

    I now also found out, why i was able to boost 1.27 bar without hitting fuel cut also i don't have a fcd. Its because i left my stock bov connected to the accordeon hose to keep the hole shut, but i discovered that it is broken and just let in lots of air, just as if i had a hole in the accordeon...

    Built Boost Leak Tester, this is what happens

    I already did this now. But when I have the rest closed I still cannot pressurize the system more than 0.26 bar with the throttle valve open, otherwise the boost controller only shows 0.04 bar. well that i belive it because the turbo timers boost sensor messures after the throttle valve. but how...

    Built Boost Leak Tester, this is what happens

    I now bridged the hoses on the accoredon hose, so the camshaftlid under pressure is not put under pressure at the moment, but for some reason with the throttle valve open i do not reach more than 0.26 bar. How long should the system be able to hold the boost when everything is fine?

    Built Boost Leak Tester, this is what happens

    Hi Guys, I have built a boost leak tester , by using a water bottle and an tyre valve from a rim. I put the water bottle into my accodeon hose, and I connected a compressor to it, to put air pressure on the system. Now the strange part: my boost sensor only show 0.05 bar and I hear a tshhh...

    Hi Guys, how come, my car doesn't get hot, but it looses water from the overflow once I stop? I once had an bhg and then it relaly squirted water from the overflow, but this is different. Any ideas? I had some slime in my valve covers=> bhg? thanks Mark

    A/F ratios changed head retorque and camshaft gasket questions

    Hi guys, on monday I retorqued my head, as I believe I might have a blown headgasekt. That was when I noticed, that my sparkplugs were full of oil, all the way up. So I cleaned all the oil out, and put some sealant on the gasekts after retorquing the head. Today I drove and I discovered that...

    Engine stuttering but sometimes reaches boost

    Does anyone know what kind of PVC cap was used? What might be causing my enigne to loose water. Might it help to retorque my head, since the eingine has gone a few thousand kilometers since it was reasembled. Thanks Mark
