Good info Klaus. BTW, i am very happy so far with the LM-1.
I have a question for you though, I have been told that grounding the lamda sensor wire will fool the FV to go rich also. Is that basically the same thing that the WOT switch is doing or will grounding the wire make it go even richer than at WOT?
paslantnose, The stock CIS will add enough fuel in a turbo application up to around 5 or 6 psi with no additional enrichment or tinkering needed. The original BAE kit was designed to bolt onto a stock engine and run 5 psi with no FI mods.
Above 5 or 6, extra fuel is usually added or timing advance is taken out to prevent pinging.
So if the dizzy was modified or the ignition mapped to take out about 5 degrees or so of advance under boost, the stock CIS would be more than capable of correctly metering the right amount of fuel with 7 psi, maybe 8, maybe higher. I haven't done enough testing to find out where that threshold is.
BTW, a 1980 3 liter engine with 7 psi boost is loads of fun and safe for the engine, as long as it doesn't run lean or have too much ignition advance. You may find that is all the power you need.
