Even looking at the values when they where live on the screen, all the demands were being met.
I wasn't sure about the injection timing, don't know what's good and what isn't.
Also couldn't remember if higher or lower lambda was rich / lean.
Peaking in the 8's is ok/on the limit, 9's you can manage but want to avoid. Have seen 10's but ECU not happy, maxed out fuel trims and running lean etc.
Lower the decimal, the richer it is. 0.9 is leaner than 0.8 etc.
Thanks Dan and Mike.
So nothing's ringing alarm bells on the face of it. It's reassuring that you see it as a strong map and healthy car in general Dan. And yeah that return valve is coping fine
I'm interested to learn a bit more about timing and the AFR.
Well the ignition timing is on the limit hence you have the small amount of timing pull that is optimum for performance. The AFR is leaner than would be ideal at lower RPM as the (standard) fuel pump cannot deliver any more than what is requested. A 'Stage 2+' map would give you a richer AFR at lower RPM as the fuel pressure would be higher, meaning more fuel delivered for the same (or similar) injection time, meaning you keep cylinder temps and EGTs cooler, and can run more ignition timing resulting in more torque/power. You always aim to go richer toward the redline anyway but by higher RPM the injection timing is back to happy levels as there is plenty of fuel available
So basically I should be on a 2+ map; more fuel delivered at lower rpm therefore less timing pull?
I'm in two minds at the minute whether to go k03 hybrid/k04, or stick with the k03. The plan, either way, was to stick with the current hardware/software setup for now, and then get the map updated to either 3 or 2+ respectively once I'd got the full works in place hardware wise. Even if I was staying with the k03 I'd like to get an upgraded intercooler and intake before I got the map revised. That's the only reason I'm still on the Stage 2 map, when I should really be on 2+, like you say.
So, would you say getting a 2+ map right now is ideal, rather than essential? And if I were to run the car just as it is for say another 6 months I wouldn't (shouldn't) have any problems?
