MS noob needs help!!: need wrong req_fuel to make it run
I built my MS, configured it and the car started right up (much to my surprise).
I have a 95 (OBDI), I'm running naturally aspirated for now until I get the hang og MS, Megatune, etc then I'll the 460cc injectors and then turbo and all.
I built the MS using Braineack's guide, did the Fan control, the idle mod and the coil-pack-safe output mod. I'm running standalone and everything but the tach work, any idea how I can get that to work?
My main issue is that I need a req_fuel of 15 to make the engine run right, it idles at 750 rpm (a bit low, I know) at 14.7 AFR when I use 15. When I use the proper req_fuel of 11.3 (1.8l with 265cc injectors), it runs way too lean and barely idles.
With a req_fuel of 15, it runs pretty smtooth, drives almost like with the stock ECU except for the brief hesitation when stomping on the gas (probably means I need to dial in accel enrich properly).
So what am I doning wrong here? Could I have large injectors installed (I bought the car used and there are some traces of things like unused mounting holes on the firewall, a spliced O2 cable in the ECU harness, etc
that make me think the car had been modified at some point)?

Not really a big deal. With some things omitted for sake of simplicity, your fuel delivery is req fuel * ve table. So if you scale one up and the other down proportionately, fuel delivery will be the same. If this matters to you, scale your entire VE table by 133%, then drop your req_fuel to 11.3, and it will run the same as it does now. Or don't do it, and there's no real harm.
