Well, guys it is time to wrap it up.
I think I, as far as installation goes, has reached my goal.
Everything is installed and operational in the car now.
The last hick-up with the missing first digit on the XD-16, was the LC-1 that needed programming.
I have just been out on a test drive.
this is so cool, and this is still only the beginning.
The goal of this was (offcourse) to get better knowledge about the AFRs, to enable me to do proper tuning.
I warmed up the car, and did just a couple of short runs.
I've gotta add, that my old laptop is not up to the task. the BAT is dead so no logging yet. I have only tried this in the garage. It seems to be working fine - Logworks is even cooler. Can't wait to log those G's
It will be just like the old days where we checked the tires on the bike to see who had been all the way out on the edge.
Back on track...: Off boost 60mph@2000RPM; AFR 14,7-14.9. The gauge jumps just a litlle, I assume this is normal?
I guess it shouldn't go any leaner, but is is close to good, or what?
When I load it, WOT, the AFR goes down to low 10s. The lowest I saw was 9.9 once for a moment. This is maybe a bit too rich?
When I am cruising and push the pedal, AFR drops nicely. IT doesn't take too much to get them below 13.5.
Remember this is my first off: I have only read about this here on PP. I know you'll need a graph for proper interpretation. To do that I'll need a new laptop...would an Ipad work for this?
However I think I am in the safe range for normal driving. Tell me if I am wrong.
When I came back I checked idle AFR. It was up to low 15s - Needs adjusting.
By memory I adjusted in accordance with this table (which I found here in another thread):
The MG Experience: Library: CO% to Air Fuel Ratio (AFR) Table
I now realize my idle adjustments are not spot on since I adjusted for approx. 13.5. I see it should have been 13.38 (Crappy short term memory...). I could definetly hear it improved/smoothed out the idle though.
Well, this is it. Thank you guys for all your help. I simply couldn't have done it with out you all.
I also want to add something about Innovate. I have read many things good and bad. I must say my dealings with their products and their support has been flawless. I'd do it again.
Next up will be my tuning thread.
See you later
