NCspecV81 said:your midrange a/f ratio is rediculously aggressive! and how come you post this on every forum known to man?
Well the midrange dip you see was due to fuel pressure loss at that spot. The stock fuel pump has since been replaced. 14:1 is a bit lean for this engine under boost, but its not ridiculous. This particular engine likes the AFR @ 13:1, as evident by the torque peak at that spot. Any good experienced tuner knows you don't tune for a certain AFR, you tune for peak torque at all points and then you go a few steps richer for safety. Tuning for 11:1 AFR cause your car is turbo is one of the biggest misconceptions in the industry! The other big misconception is the one about the leaner you go the more power you make (i have seen this BS printed in reputable magazines, couldn't believe it). This does not happen, if your too lean you will start losing power.
I didn't post this on every forum known to man, but one of my distributors did. He just wants to let the world know whats up with these new tC's! What better way than the World Wide Web! Shoot, I even saw this info on a forum in Germany! Sweet. I just reply to the forums where people are most interested in what we are doing.
We don't only work on Scion's either we work on all types of cars including Mazda's.
