watch the AFR just before he goes WOT......tell me what's wrong.




it's also curious he sees over 300° intake temps at cruise:

Lol, his full throttle afr's are trade secrets. He must protect them.

And the 300 degree cruising temps help increase fuel efficiency, the system is designed that way...

Arkmage 01-29-2008 04:03 PM

you mean how he is pegging the gauge rich?

drewbroo 01-29-2008 04:08 PM

WTF.. Why is his car running so hot. I bet he removed his radiator, and replaced it with an injector. Thats prolly it

Doppelgänger 01-29-2008 04:42 PM

i saw that temp gauge at 200... looks like the last reading is the 300* one. But i bet he has the wires crossed and that the needle should actually be going up. No way in hell temps are dropping 100* at 10psi...unless he is injecting compressed abominable snowman shit into the intake.

*** Edit - my above comment was for the 1st video.
I just watched the 2nd video.....lol. I want to see him get the temps up like that and then go into WOT......

I can bet that if you put the air temp sensor in the middle of the fuel injector or water injector spray, you can see 100 deg drop in the gauge readings ;) Just bathe the temp sensor in fuel/water and just watch those numbers :rofl:

That's a new model wideband gauge ... fades out in boost ... :rofl: :rofl:

honestly A/F gauges are so useless that I can't tell what's going on. I'd have to see a datalog. but that cruise temp is bizarre, why would he want that being public?

That's not a narrowband gauge rigged into the OEM sensor. It is an AEM wideband controller, with a digital readout. Some new sub-model that darkens in boost though ;)

You want to see a datalog where the AFR line fades out in boost? :rofl: You can just imagine it or create it yourself - doesn't matter what it will be since it fades out in boost

wow is all i can say

Braineack 01-29-2008 08:12 PM

so it's not in my head? does the video not get dark and sound tone change as well just before he boosts? what's up with that?

fwiw, sure takes a long time to hit 10psi :rofl:

soflarick 01-29-2008 08:23 PM

The air temp gauge must be wired incorrectly. The a/f gauge reading probably goes beyond its reading ability when the dashes show up, so it was going pig rich on WOT and way lean at full decel. Depending on his pulley arrangement, he's either hitting boost quickly or a little slow. My hotside MP62 with TDR IC was pullied for 13 psi maximum, and would hit 5 or so psi with even light throttle apps at very low rpm.

The slowdown could be the gauge though. My ISSPro mech. gauge is quite damped and moves painfully sloow (over a second) - not sure why they did it that way, maybe for longer gauge life. I wish it would've been quicker.
But looking at readings from the MAP sensor in AEMPro the boost comes instant ...

I doubt it. Looks to me it is working the correct way.

When it goes out of range the display shows "---"

Braineack is talking about the "magical" darkening when the the blower goes in boost ;)

Quick, somebody save the video before it gets taken down!
