For a cossie, high 11s or VERY low 12s is where its at in order to control temperature, but again there are many reasons for it to vary.
What engine are you talking about?
I'l not name the tuner as it was just the cheapest big shop i found that stocks the innovate stuff in the UK and while telling me what the guage features he said dropped the figgure 13.1, as much as i was alarmed i didn't question it. I have however seen him making 500+bhp subaru's amongst other stuff but have the feeling that he might be talking about an n/a car.
My mum's got a Honda S2000 and that black smokes worse than any other non turbo standard car i've seen.
Anyway, this is for a tuned Glanza/starlet turbo.
I was hopping to get it in the high 11s. As a "safe rich".
L8 ECU,
I can see on the left hand side that the car runs lean when it comes on boost but then drops back to safe at the top end.
I'l try and hook up the laptop later to see if i can log the figures.
This car does the opposite as it hits low 11s when coming on boost and the leans off slightly towards the top end.
I have held the car (left foot braking) at specific load sites and this is when i see the lowest figures i.e. 10.6 at 4k rpm's on full boost.
