any gurus? how 2 optimize 'updated' ignition/fuel sys?
hi all,
i've an 89 325i E30/M20. i've cleaned up my intake/fuel/ignition 'chain' ... currently consisting of new/clean -- Malpassi Rising Rate Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator W8LCR Bosch Spark Plugs Plasma Booster K&N Cone Air-Filter kit BavAuto High Performance Ignition Wire Set Distributor Cap Distributor Rotor Ignition Coil Bosch Oxygen Sensor Dinan Performance Engine Chip Dinan Cat-back Free-Flow Exhaust System Bosch D5B-19lb (#0280150556) Fuel Injectors cref: http://www.fiveomotorsport.com/Injector_SetsFORD.asp Golan Products High-Flow Fuel Filter cref: http://www.golanproducts.com/filters.html#lgfilter RedLine 10W40 Engine Oil Canton/Mecca Oil Filter the overall difference in performance/drivability is -- IMHO -- pretty amazing. the PlasmaBooster made the biggest LOW-END difference, and the INJECTOR + RRFPR combo on the mid-to-high end. very cool! i'm 'closing in' on my tuning -- but still (i know) suboptimal. i'm confused by too many variables. in particular, tuning the system requires setup/monitoring/adjustment of: (1) Fuel Pressure Regulator base setting (2) CO adjustmet screw on AFM (3) Air/Fuel lambda ratio to "14.7:1" i've a fuel pressure meter installed on the fuel line, and a voltmeter with which i can easily read the O2 sensor voltage (tho i'm not sure if I need a "wide-band" sensor -- all the meters seem to sell with one). ################ ## QUESTION # what's the recommended procedure -- and order! -- for OPTIMALLY setting: (1) the base fuel pressure (remember, i've larger injectors and higher fule filter flow ...), and (2) the air/fuel mixture with a voltmeter & the CO screw? thx for any/all poiters/insights? richard |
